Duren's first career 20-20 game leads the Pistons to a lopsided win over Thunder, 120-104
Jalen Duren had 22 points and a career-high 21 rebounds and the Detroit Pistons ended the Oklahoma City Thunder’s five-game winning streak with a 120-104 victoryJANUARY 28 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Isaiah Stewart - Dealing with ankle injury Stewart won't return to Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a left ankle injury, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Stewart tallied 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and one block in 25 minutes prior to suffering the injury. The 22-year-old will have a couple days to rest up before Wednesday's matchup with the Cavaliers.

Killian Hayes - Officially starting Sunday Hayes will move into the starting lineup with Cade Cunningham (knee) ruled out, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Haze returns to the starting lineup for the ninth time in Detroit's past 10 games, although he has averaged just 4.4 points and 7.4 assists in 25.4 minutes over that span. Cade Cunningham was a game-time scratch due to knee management, but no setback was reported.

Cade Cunningham - Late scratch Sunday Cunningham won't play Sunday against the Thunder due to left knee injury management, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Cunningham returned to action Saturday following an eight-game absence due to a knee strain, posting 20 points and 12 assists in 35 minutes during a loss to Washington. He was given a probable designation for the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday and was listed in the starting lineup against the Thunder, but he's a late scratch just minutes before tipoff. Killian Hayes will start Sunday in Cunningham's absence, while the latter's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Cleveland.
JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Monte Morris - Cleared to play Sunday Morris (quadricep) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.
Impact After missing each of the Pistons' first 43 games of the season while recovering from a right quad strain, Morris handled minor roles off the bench in both of Detroit's last two contests. Though Sunday marks the second leg of a back-to-back set, Morris will be available for the contest after he logged a meager eight minutes in Saturday's 118-104 loss to the Wizards. Assuming head coach Monty Williams makes him part of the rotation Sunday, Morris should once again be in store for light minutes behind starting guards Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey.

Cade Cunningham - Good to go Sunday Cunningham (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder and will start, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Cunningham made his return Saturday following an eight-game absence due to a knee strain, posting 20 points (7-17) and 12 assists in 35 minutes during a 118-104 loss to the Wizards. As expected, he's been upgraded from probable to available for the second half of Detroit's back-to-back set and should handle his usual workload.
JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Duren - Grabs 18 rebounds in loss Duren closed Saturday's 118-104 loss to the Wizards with 10 points (5-6 FG), 18 rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes.
Impact Marvin Bagley's departure has enhanced Duren's role as he continues to perform as Detroit's starting center. Despite Detroit's lost season, the squad has a great core to build around with Duren and Cade Cunningham, and the 20-year-old's 6-10, 250-pound frame is an imposing force for opponents to face. He's averaged 11.6 rebounds per game this season, but injuries have limited him to only 30 court appearances. If he had enough games to qualify, Duren would be ranked fifth in rebounding average ahead of players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid.
JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Bojan Bogdanovic - Paces team with 30 points Bogdanovic amassed 30 points (10-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-104 loss to the Wizards.
Impact Bogdanovic followed up an explosive 34-point effort in a rare win against Charlotte with another exemplary number during Saturday's loss to Washington. The Pistons rely heavily on Bogdanovic's sharpshooting ability, and he's shot a lethal 44.7 percent from long range since returning from a two-game absence. He's averaged 23.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists over the past five games.

Cade Cunningham - Likely to play Sunday Cunningham is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to left knee injury management.
Impact After playing 35 minutes and logging a 20-point, 12-assist double-double during the Pistons 118-104 loss to the Wizards on Saturday, Cunningham could be given a rest day Sunday. While he's still trending toward playing, fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status leading up to the team's 2:00 pm ET tipoff.
JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Monte Morris - Probable Sunday Morris is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to right quadriceps injury management.
Impact Morris made his season debut Wednesday and was able to suit up Saturday as well, where he logged seven minutes. Morris now finds himself listed as probable ahead of Sunday's game as the team continues to monitor his quad. He should be available for the second half of the back-to-back set barring a setback.

Killian Hayes - Returns to bench Hayes isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Wizards, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Cade Cunningham will replace Hayes in the starting lineup Saturday. Hayes is averaging 2.4 points,4.8 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 16.6 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Cade Cunningham - Good to go against Washington Cunningham (knee) is available and in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Wizards.
Impact Cunningham has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday after missing the previous eight games with a left knee strain. Cunningham will replace Killian Hayes in the starting five against Washington.

Cade Cunningham - Listed as probable for Saturday Cunningham (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Impact Cunningham was initially listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup versus the Hornets, suggesting he was on track to return following a seven-game absence. However, he was downgraded to questionable following the team's morning shootaround and ended up missing an eighth straight game, as coach Monty Williams said he wanted the point guard to get more practice time and conditioning in before returning to game action. Given what happened Wednesday, fantasy managers should proceed with more caution than they usually do with probable tags, but Cunningham should be back soon.
