DETROIT PISTONS NEWS

Killian Hayes - Drops seven dimes in start Hayes accumulated four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 loss to the Kings.

Impact With Cade Cunningham (knee) sidelined, Hayes moved back into the starting lineup for the first time since Dec. 16. However, he struggled mightily. While he dished out at least seven assists for just the sixth time this season, Hayes committed a season-high six turnovers and failed to make an impact as a scorer. Cunningham is supposed to miss about a week, so Hayes should continue to see increased usage, though his fantasy upside remains limited.

Isaiah Stewart - Unlikely to play Wednesday Stewart (toe) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Stewart will likely miss an eighth straight game due to a right great toe sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Rockets, but unless he practices Thursday, Stewart can be considered doubtful for that contest as well.

Jalen Duren - Notches double-double vs. Kings Duren logged 16 points (8-14 FG), 10 rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 loss to the Kings.

Impact Duren registered his 17th double-double of the season in Tuesday's loss, and he is two off of tying his mark in 2022-23. He's registered a double-double in 10 of his last 11 games and is averaging 15.2 points on 70.6 percent shooting, 11.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 31.4 minutes per game over that span.

Jaden Ivey - Chips in 22 points Ivey totaled 22 points (7-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 loss to the Kings.

Impact Ivey attempted 17 shots in Tuesday's loss, which was his most since Dec. 16. He's set to see more opportunities in the Pistons' office with Cade Cunningham out for at least a week with a left knee strain. Ivey has had a solid start to the New Year and has scored in double-digits in each of his last seven games.

Bojan Bogdanovic - Efficient night versus Sacramento Bogdanovic accumulated 26 points (10-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 loss to the Kings.

Impact In the Pistons' first game without Cade Cunningham (knee), Bogdanovic led the Pistons' scoring attack Tuesday. It was the fifth time this season he's knocked down four or more threes and is shooting 39.1 percent from beyond the arc this season. Bogdanovic should see additional scoring opportunities for as long as Cunningham remains out.

Monte Morris - Expected back by end of January Morris (quadriceps) started ramping up Monday and is expected to return by the end of January, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Morris suffered a right quadricep strain in mid-November and was expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks. He's still on track with that return timeline, but his reaction to his ramp-up period will decide when he can play again. With Cade Cunningham (knee) sidelined, Morris' services could come in handy, though both guards may be cleared to suit up around the same time in mid-to-late January.

Cade Cunningham - Re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days Cunningham (knee) will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Impact Cunningham had an MRI on Monday that confirmed his diagnosis of a left knee strain, and he will miss at least four games as a result. Based on his re-evaluation timeframe, the earliest he could return is Jan. 17 against Minnesota, but that is not set in stone by any means. Cunningham's absence will open a ton of usage and minutes in Detroit, and guys like Jaden Ivey, Killian Hayes, Alec Burks and Marcus Sasser will have more opportunities in the short term.

Cade Cunningham - Avoids serious injury Cunningham (left knee strain) has reportedly avoided any serious issues in his left knee, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cunningham left Sunday's game against Denver in the second quarter due to the strain, but there was no clear incident that caused the injury. A non-contact issue would prompt concern, but a basic strain appears to be the diagnosis, with Cunningham only ruled out for Tuesday's game against Sacramento thus far. Cunningham had posted at least 30 points in five of six contests prior to Sunday's strain, and his season-long plus-9.7 net rating ranks in the 89th percentile among all players.

Cade Cunningham - Ruled out for Tuesday Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Cunningham suffered a left knee strain during Sunday's loss to the Nuggets and will be unavailable for at least one additional matchup. Killian Hayes, Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser are candidates to see increased run against Denver, while it's unclear whether Cunningham will be available Wednesday against San Antonio.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Alec Burks - Extends scoring streak Sunday Burks racked up 18 points (6-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Sunday's 131-114 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Burks continues to make an impact on offense for the Pistons despite the team's overall struggles, and he has emerged as a reliable scoring alternative off the bench, a role that also boosts his fantasy upside, particularly in category-based leagues due to his shooting. Burks has scored in double digits in each of his last seven games, averaging 17.4 points and shooting 46.9 percent from three-point range in that span.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Duren - Puts up 20 points in defeat Duren chipped in 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 131-114 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Duren had the daunting task of dealing with Nikola Jokic on both ends of the field, so in a way, his final stat line was quite decent. Even though he saw his double-double streak snap at nine games, it's worth noting this 20-point outing was his second-best mark of the entire campaign. Duren should be in line for another tough matchup Tuesday against Domantas Sabonis and the Kings.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Jaden Ivey - Keeps producing in starting role Ivey closed Sunday's 131-114 loss to the Nuggets with 13 points (4-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 27 minutes.

Impact Ivey had a decent showing in this loss, though the lack of efficiency from the field was a problem, as he missed his six attempts from beyond the arc. Ivey is averaging 16.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game since he returned to the starting lineup on Dec. 18, and he might be in line for an uptick in usage in case Cade Cunningham (knee) is forced to miss Tuesday's game against the Kings.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Cade Cunningham - Dealing with left knee strain Cunningham sustained a left knee strain during Sunday's game against the Nuggets and didn't return.

Impact Cunningham played just 11 minutes prior to his departure and tallied three points, three rebounds and three assists in the defeat. It's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time, but Killian Hayes, Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser are candidates to see increased run if Cunningham is sidelined.
