Impact Hayes missed Wednesday's win over Sacramento due to a bruised right hip, and his status remains in question for Friday. Cory Joseph figures to receive another start at the point should Hayes sit out again.

Kelly Olynyk - Impressive after long layoff Olynyk logged 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-131 victory over the Kings.
Impact Olynyk hadn't played in an NBA game for more than two months due to a knee injury, but he looked to be in midseason form Wednesday. The veteran ranked second on the team with 22 points in only 22 minutes, adding nine boards, five dimes, a steal and a block. Many fantasy managers remember how effective Olynyk was after joining Houston last season, when he was a difference-maker as a scorer, rebounder and distributor down the stretch. He may not be quite that dynamic this season, but he's certainly capable of helping fantasy managers who have either stashed him for the past few months or picked him up off the waiver wire in anticipation of his return.

Cory Joseph - Thrives in starting role Joseph ended with 19 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 133-131 victory over the Kings.
Impact Joseph made his first start since Dec. 23 with Killian Hayes (hip) unable to play. The veteran came through with one of his best performances of the campaign, finishing one assist shy of a double-double. Joseph has been very inconsistent this season, but he could be worth a look as a streamer in fantasy leagues if Hayes' injury keeps him out for additional games.

Saddiq Bey - Leads Pistons to road win Bey logged 30 points (10-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 133-131 win over the Kings.
Impact Bey scored 17 first-half points and finished the contest as Detroit's leading scorer. He reached the 30-point mark for the third time this season and knocked down five-plus triples for the fourth time. In his second NBA campaign, Bey has improved in most counting stats, including points (15.2), rebounds (6.0) and assists (2.4) per game. However, his field-goal rate (38.2 percent) and three-point efficiency (33.4 percent) are both below his rookie marks.

Cory Joseph - Starting for Hayes Joseph will start Wednesday's game against the Kings, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

Kelly Olynyk - No minutes restriction Coach Dwane Casey said Olynyk (knee) won't have a minutes restriction Wednesday against the Kings, but the team won't let the center "overdo anything" in his return, Rod Beard of T...
Impact Olynyk will make his first game appearance since Nov. 10 after recovering from a sprained left knee, but the Pistons apparently don't have a hard minutes restriction in mind Wednesday. The 30-year-old averaged 12.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 steals in 22.9 minutes before going down with the injury.

Killian Hayes - Unavailable Wednesday Hayes (hip) won't play Wednesday at Sacramento, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hayes was considered doubtful for Wednesday's contest, so it's hardly a surprise he won't be suiting up versus the Kings. Saben Lee and Cory Joseph should see more run at the point for Detroit in his absence.

Luka Garza - Placed in protocols Garza won't be available for Wednesday's game against the Kings after he was placed in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Impact Garza was already on the outside of the Detroit rotation, as the Pistons assigned him to the G League's Motor City Cruise earlier this week rather than making him available as an option off the bench for Tuesday's loss to the Warriors. His entry into the protocols means that he'll likely miss out on a few opportunities to pick up extra minutes in G League games, but his absence won't have any effect on the NBA club, especially now that Kelly Olynyk (knee) is poised to make his return to action Wednesday.
JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Frank Jackson - Ruled out Wednesday Jackson (conditioning) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Impact Jackson was assigned to the G League's Motor City Cruise on Wednesday to work on his conditioning, and he'll officially be unavailable for the parent club against Sacramento. Josh Jackson and Hamidou Diallo should continue to see increased run for the Pistons.
JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kelly Olynyk - Probable Wednesday Olynyk (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against Sacramento.
Impact Olynyk has been sidelined since Nov. 10 due to a knee injury, but he'll likely be able to suit up against the Kings. Assuming he's available, he'll likely face a minutes restriction as he gets back into form.
JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Killian Hayes - Doubtful Wednesday Hayes (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Impact Hayes sustained a right hip contusion during Tuesday's loss to the Warriors and appears unlikely to play in the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's ultimately held out, Saben Lee and Cory Joseph should see additional run for Detroit.
