DETROIT PISTONS NEWS

Stanley Umude - Gets starting nod Umude is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Boston.

Impact Umude's current three-game stretch of double-digit minutes matches the longest streak of his career. He has been a staple of Detroit's G League team across the past two seasons, and Monday marks a continuation of an opportunity to carve out an NBA rotation role while Ausar Thompson (knee), Cade Cummingham (knee) and Simone Fontecchio (toe) are all inactive. It wouldn't be surprising to see Umude get 25-30 minutes of action Monday.

Simone Fontecchio - Ruled out Monday Fontecchio (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Fontecchio and Cade Cunningham (toe) have been downgraded from questionable to out and will join Ausar Thompson (illness) on the sidelines. Evan Fournier, Marcus Sasser and Troy Brown are candidates for increased roles, but Jaden Ivey should lead the offensive charge.

Cade Cunningham - Downgraded to out Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Boston, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cummingham and Simone Fontecchio (toe) have been downgraded from questionable to out and will join Ausar Thompson (illness) on the sidelines. Jaden Ivey should lead Detroit in usage Monday, but Marcus Sasser, Evan Fournier and Troy Brown are also candidates for increased roles.

Simone Fontecchio - Iffy for Monday Fontecchio is questionable for Monday's game against Boston with a left toe contusion.

Impact This sounds like a day-to-day issue for Fontecchio, but the Pistons could err on the side of caution for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Fontecchio played 35 minutes Sunday night, producing 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks. If he's unable to suit up, the Pistons would likely need to use a committee approach to soak up his minutes with so many injuries on the roster.

Quentin Grimes - Remains sidelined for Monday's game Grimes (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Boston.

Impact Grimes continues to deal with a knee issue and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game. Evan Fournier, Simone Fontecchio (toe) and Marcus Sasser could see increased work against the Celtics.

Ausar Thompson - Won't play Monday Thompson (illness) will not play Monday against the Celtics.

Impact Thompson will be sidelined for a fifth straight game Monday as he remains under the weather. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Pacers.

Cade Cunningham - Questionable for Monday Cunningham (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Cunningham was probable for Sunday's game against Miami due to his knee injury, and his status for the second half of the back-to-back set is up in the air due to left knee injury management. If he sits against the Celtics, Marcus Sasser could see an increased role.

Jalen Duren - Double-double against Miami Duren registered 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 loss to the Heat.

Impact It was the fourth straight double-double for the second-year center and his 38th of the season, tying him with Tyrese Haliburton for eighth in the league. Duren has failed to pull down double-digit boards only twice in 13 games since the All-Star break, averaging 14.1 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 63.3 percent from the floor.

Evan Fournier - Leads team in scoring Sunday Fournier had a team-high 18 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals across 31 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 104-101 loss to Miami.

Impact All five Detroit starters scored in double digits, but none topped Fournier's 18 points. It was the 31-year-old's best scoring performance since coming over from the Knicks, and the first time he played more than 30 minutes as Ausar Thompson (illness) missed his fourth straight game and Quentin Grimes (knee) missed his second straight. There's no real role for Fournier on a rebuilding Pistons roster when the younger wing options are healthy, but he might have some short-term DFS appeal.
