Quentin Grimes - Probable for Monday Grimes (knee) is probable to play Monday versus Charlotte, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Grimes is on track to return from a four-game absence due to right knee soreness. Detroit has barely gotten a look at the backcourt quartet of Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Marcus Sasser and Grimes all healthy together, which makes Monday's contest a notable affair if Grimes is able to suit up.

Ausar Thompson - Removed from injury report Thompson (illness) has been cleared in advance of Monday's game against Charlotte.
Impact Thompson appears set to suit up Monday, which will mark a continuation of his perfect attendance on the season. Thompson has started 14 straight games and is averaging 10.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks on 50.4 percent shooting over that span.

James Wiseman - Impressive off bench Saturday Wiseman ended Saturday's 142-124 loss to the Mavericks with 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 30 minutes.
Impact Wiseman logged a season-high mark in minutes, and the big man responded with the two-way ability that has characterized him since he entered the league, though this was just his second double-double of the campaign. His numbers were boosted by the fact that Jalen Duren was ejected in the second half, but Wiseman is expected to return to a bench role when the Pistons take on the Hornets on Monday.
MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE
Simone Fontecchio - Drops career-best performance Fontecchio closed Saturday's 142-124 loss to the Mavericks with 27 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes.
Impact Fontecchio started the game on the bench but ended up having a starter-like workload after Ausar Thompson (illness) left the game in the first half and never returned. Fontecchio, who has now scored at least 20 points in three of his 12 appearances since joining the Pistons via trade before the deadline, could find himself in a starting role Monday against the Hornets in case Thompson is not 100 percent ready to return.
MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE
Cade Cunningham - Sniffs triple-double in loss Cunningham supplied 33 points (11-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds and 10 assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 142-124 loss to Dallas.
Impact Cunningham had one of the best performances of his young career and went toe-to-toe against Luka Doncic, but he couldn't get the job done. Still, Cunningham ended just one rebound shy of recording what would've been the first triple-double of his career, continuing the impressive form he's evidenced over the last few months. Cunningham has three double-doubles across five appearances in March, a span in which he's averaging 23.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 9.2 assists per contest.

Ausar Thompson - Questionable to return Saturday Thompson (illness) is questionable to return to Saturday's matchup against the Mavericks, Pistons' reporter Johnny Kane reports.
Impact Thompson left Saturday's game in the first half, and it wouldn't be shocking if he doesn't return, as an illness might be enough reason to keep him on the sidelines for one or two games if not appropriately managed. Simone Fontecchio and Evan Fournier will benefit from Thompson's absence.

Ausar Thompson - Heads to locker room Saturday Thompson (undisclosed) headed to the locker room during the first half of Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact It's unclear what kind of injury led Thompson to get attention in the locker room, but the Pistons are being very cautious with their prized rookie. If he's unable to return, then Evan Fournier and Simone Fontecchio would be in line to see more minutes.
