Monte Morris - Makes most of limited run Wednesday Morris (quadricep) finished with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 11 minutes in Wednesday's 113-106 win over the Hornets.
Impact Following a lengthy recovery from the right quad strain that had kept him sidelined since late in the preseason, Morris was finally cleared to make his season debut Wednesday. He settled in as the Pistons' backup point guard and excelled during his time on the court, finishing as a plus-3 while shooting efficiently and committing no fouls or turnovers. The Pistons are likely to get Cade Cunningham (knee) back for their next game Saturday versus the Wizards, and head coach Monty Williams will likely need to make some tough cuts from his rotation to open up minutes. Marcus Sasser (12 minutes Wednesday) and Kevin Knox (13 minutes) seem to be the likeliest candidates to move off the second unit, and Killian Hayes -- who started Wednesday -- could be in danger of having his role reduced if the Pistons elect to keep Morris in the fold as Cunningham's primary backup.

Alec Burks - Stays hot from long range Burks ended with 15 points (4-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one assist across 26 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-106 victory over the Hornets.
Impact The 32-year-old guard continues to be a threat from long distance, and Burks may be the Pistons' top trade asset as the deadline grows closer. He's drained at least three three-pointers in 12 of the last 14 games, and over that stretch he's averaging 18.6 points, 3.8 threes, 2.4 boards and 1.8 assists in 25.0 minutes a night from the second unit while shooting a blistering 47.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Bojan Bogdanovic - Erupts for 34 in Wednesday's win Bogdanovic ended Wednesday's 113-106 win over the Hornets with 34 points (12-23 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes.
Impact It was the second time this month and the third time in 23 games this season Bogdanovic has dropped 30 or more points. The veteran forward has drained multiple three-pointers in 11 straight games despite missing a couple contests during that stretch with a sore calf, averaging 20.7 points, 3.6 boards, 3.4 threes, 2.5 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting 46.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Cade Cunningham - Out Wednesday Cunningham (knee) will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
Impact Head coach Monty Williams said that he wants Cunningham to get in some more practice time and conditioning before he returns, so while he's close, Wednesday will mark his eighth straight game on the sidelines due to the knee injury. Expect Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser to continue to pick up the slack in his absence.

Monte Morris - Will play limited minutes Pistons coach Monty Williams said Morris (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets but will be on a minutes restriction, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Fre...
Impact Morris will make his season debut Wednesday after missing the beginning of the campaign with a right quadriceps injury. With Cade Cunningham (knee) out, Morris will likely split time at point guard with Jaden Ivey and Killian Hayes.
JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Cade Cunningham - Downgraded to questionable Cunningham (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Impact Cunningham was initially listed as probable, suggesting he was on track to return from a seven-game absence due to a left knee strain. However, he's been downgraded to questionable following Detroit's morning shootaround, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait until pregame warmups to hear official work on his availability. If Cunningham remains sidelined, Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser should continue to see increased playing time, but Monte Morris (quad) is expected to make his season debut and could see double-digit minutes off the bench.

Monte Morris - Expected to play Friday Morris (quadriceps) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.
Impact Morris is expected to make his season debut Friday after missing Detroit's first 44 contests with a right quadriceps strain. Morris will likely be on a minutes restriction as he eases his way into the Pistons' rotation.
JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Cade Cunningham - Listed as probable for Wednesday Cunningham (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Impact Cunningham is expected to return to action Wednesday following a seven-game absence due to a left knee strain. Given the layoff, it's safe to presume Cunningham will be monitored in his first game back, but he should still see plenty of usage. The third-year guard has been inefficient at times this season, but he's still averaging 22.8 points, 7.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.5 minutes per game.
