Jamorko Pickett - Still out Tuesday Pickett (toe) is out Tuesday against the Mavericks.
Impact Pickett will be unable to suit up once again due to a right toe sprain. He hasn't been part of the team's rotation when healthy.

Isaiah Livers - Unavailable Tuesday Livers (foot) is out Tuesday against Dallas.
Impact Livers will be unavailable once again due to a foot injury. He hasn't been part of the Pistons' rotation this season.

Josh Jackson - Still sidelined Tuesday Jackson (back) is out Tuesday against the Mavericks.
Impact Jackson will sit out a sixth consecutive game due to a back injury. His next chance to play will be Thursday against Memphis.

Cade Cunningham - Officially listed as questionable Cunningham (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Coach Dwane Casey said Monday that Cunningham is trending toward being a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest, so it isn't very surprising to see him listed as questionable. He's been sidelined for each of the last three games and will likely need to participate in pregame warmups before the Pistons determine his availability against Dallas.

Cade Cunningham - Trending toward game-time call Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said Monday that Cunningham (hip) remains day-to-day and is headed for a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Mavericks, Johnny Kan...
Impact Though Cunningham, a native Texan, is eager to suit up in front of his hometown crowd in Dallas, Casey noted that the Pistons won't be inclined to clear the No. 1 overall pick to play if his health is a concern. Cunningham, who has missed Detroit's last three games with a right hip pointer, may need to be at or near 100 percent following the team's morning shootaround Tuesday in order to return to the lineup ahead of the 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff. If Cunningham remains sidelined yet again, Hamidou Diallo would likely be in store for another start on the wing alongside Saddiq Bey.

Kelly Olynyk - Struggling to produce since return Olynyk finished with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four assists and two rebounds in 14 minutes Sunday in the Pistons' 118-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Olynyk averaged 22.5 minutes per game over his first 12 appearances of the season before entering the COVID-19 health and safety protocols in late January, but since his return to action, the big man hasn't cleared 17 minutes in any of his four appearances. The 30-year-old has produced well as a rebounder and facilitator during that four-game stretch, but a 22.7 percent mark from the field has limited his scoring output. Expect Olynyk's scoring production to eventually come around, but he'll still need to eat more into starting center Isaiah Stewart's playing time before he becomes a dependable lineup option in 12-team leagues.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Lyles - Puts up shots in limited minutes Lyles tallied 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes Sunday in the Pistons' 118-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Though his playing time has taken a hit with Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk recently returning from multi-game absences, Lyles is still providing the Pistons with a scoring punch off the bench. Despite the downturn in playing time, Lyles hasn't been shy about firing away from the field, as he's put up 29 shot attempts in 51 minutes over the last three contests. Lyles shouldn't be expected to sustain that sort of high-volume role moving forward, especially once Cade Cunningham (hip) returns from the injury that has sidelined him each of the past three games.

Isaiah Stewart - Swats four shots in loss Stewart tallied five points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four blocks and one assist in 33 minutes Sunday in the Pistons' 118-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Stewart has been a bankable producer in the rebounds category of late, hauling in no fewer than 11 boards in any of his last five games. He supplemented the production on the glass with a new season-high total in blocks, but he's not typically a reliable contributor in that area, as he rejected a combined four shots in Detroit's previous 11 games. Even with Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk recently making their returns from extended absences, Stewart hasn't lost out on any playing time, and he should be worthy of a roster spot in 12-team leagues while he's regularly getting 30 minutes per game.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Killian Hayes - Second straight strong game Hayes posted 10 points (5-7 FG), eight assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block across 24 minutes Sunday in the Pistons' 118-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact The Pistons have brought Hayes off the bench for each of the past eight games, but he still looks to be part of a near-even timeshare at point guard with starter Cory Joseph. Of the two, Hayes profiles as the more interesting fantasy option, particularly for managers who are looking for steals and assists production. Hayes' contributions in other categories are typically lean, however, and he remains a major liability in field-goal percentage.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Saddiq Bey - Third straight 20-point game Bey put up 24 points (7-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and added eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes Sunday in the Pistons' 118-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Jerami Grant's recent return from an extended absence due to thumb surgery hasn't been as detrimental to Bey's fantasy outlook as expected, at least through Grant's first four games since rejoining the lineup. During that stretch, Bey has cleared 20 points on three occasions while also averaging 6.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.5 three-pointers. It's worth noting, however, that Cade Cunningham (hIp) has missed the last three of those contests, so Bey should eventually see his overall usage on offense take a hit once the star rookie is back in the lineup.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cory Joseph - Delivers quality all-around line Joseph submitted 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes Sunday in the Pistons' 118-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Joseph came through with a quality stat line for those who streamed him in season-long leagues or used him in daily fantasy, but he shouldn't be counted on to replicate these numbers on a consistent basis even though the Pistons have seemingly committed to him as their starting point guard ahead of Killian Hayes. In his five games prior to Sunday, Joseph turned in much more modest averages of 8.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.8 three-pointers, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks.
