Ausar Thompson - Won't play Wednesday Thompson (illness/asthma) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Thompson will miss a second straight game due to an asthma flare-up, which should allow Simone Fontecchio to draw another start. Quentin Grimes, Evan Fournier and Marcus Sasser are also candidates for more minutes, while Thompson's next chance to suit up will come Friday versus Miami.

Ausar Thompson - Questionable for Wednesday Thompson (illness/asthma) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

Impact Thompson continues dealing with an asthma flare-up or general lung ailment, putting his status in jeopardy for Wednesday's contest. If he is ultimately unable to suit up, Simone Fontecchio would likely continue being heavily leaned on, with Quentin Grimes and Marcus Sasser seeing 20-25 minutes off the bench.

Quentin Grimes - Struggles from field in return Grimes (knee) scored six points (1-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes Monday in the Pistons' 114-97 win over the Hornets.

Impact Grimes had missed the Pistons' previous four games due to right knee injury management, but he was thrust into a 20-plus-minute role in his return while Detroit was without a key rotational forward in Ausar Thompson (illness). He was unable to take advantage of the ample playing time, with the poor showing from the field and three-point range diminishing the overall impact of his stat line. Grimes could lose out on a few minutes if Thompson is available to play in Detroit's next game Wednesday versus Toronto.

Isaiah Stewart - Subtle contributions in win Stewart logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block in 34 minutes during Monday's 114-97 win over Charlotte.

Impact Stewart finished with a plus-13 net rating during his time on the court Monday, which marked his first game with multiple made threes since March 1. The 22-year-old is averaging 9.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks in 34.4 minutes across his last four games.

Jalen Duren - Dimed up by Cade Duren closed with 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 114-97 win over the Hornets.

Impact The entirety of Duren's offensive output came off putbacks and dunks, joining Cade Cunningham to form an upside-rich pick-and-roll duo for Detroit's future. Duren missed two dunks in the first half, which seemed to ignite the 20-year-old, who finished with awesome conviction throughout the rest of the contest. He doesn't have the most vertical pop, but Duren's combination of size and athleticism is still off-the-charts.

Cade Cunningham - Inefficient but victorious Cunningham totaled 22 points (8-20 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 114-97 win over Charlotte.

Impact Cunningham wasn't at his sharpest Monday, but the 22-year-old led the Pistons in scoring while facilitating with only two turnovers. Detroit led for over 46 minutes of Monday's win, possessing firm control of the contest throughout the second half. Another porous matchup is on tap Wednesday, as Toronto has posted the second-worst defensive rating in the league across the past two weeks.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Fontecchio - Emerging as new sidekick Fontecchio posted 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 114-97 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Fontecchio shooting prowess and off-ball contributions have provided invaluable spacing and wing playmaking to Detroit's rotation -- highlighted by Cade Cunningham's driving lanes being improved and his double-team frequency being lessened. Fontecchio can't be relied on for much outside of scoring output on a nightly basis, but his two-way grit is a rising part of his game.

Ausar Thompson - Officially out Monday Thompson (illness) will not play Monday against Charlotte.

Impact Thompson appears to be having a back-and-forth battle with his current illness, which will officially sideline him for Monday's contest. The rookie wing apparently felt under the weather this morning after being cleared from the injury report yesterday. After logging just 11 minutes and potentially dealing with the ailment during Saturday's loss to Dallas, Thompson being scratched from the lineup entirely makes life easier on fantasy managers.

Ausar Thompson - Back on injury report Thompson (illness) is questionable for Monday's game versus Charlotte.

Impact The Pistons removed Thompson from the injury report on Sunday night, only to add him back Monday morning with a questionable tag. If he does get the green light, he'll be a risky play considering he's under the weather. Thompson has averaged 10.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks in his last 14 starts.
