Malachi Flynn - Won't play SaturdayFlynn (trade pending) will not be available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

ImpactFlynn was acquired from the Knicks at the deadline, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to carve out a role in Detroit. He'll have his work cut out for him, as Marcus Sasser has really emerged off the bench for the Pistons.

Troy Brown Jr. - Iffy for SaturdayBrown (trade pending) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

ImpactThe Pistons acquired Brown from Minnesota at the deadline, but he'll have a tough time competing for minutes in Detroit as they have a logjam at the forward positions.

Shake Milton - Questionable for SaturdayMilton (trade pending) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

ImpactThe Pistons moved Monte Morris in exchange for Milton and Troy Brown, both of whom are questionable to make their debuts. Milton's path to playing time won't be much easier in Detroit, as Marcus Sasser has been playing really well for the Pistons.

Simone Fontecchio - Available for SaturdayFontecchio (trade pending) will be available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

ImpactFontecchio will be available for the first time since his trade from Utah. The Pistons are in desperate need of shooters, so there's a good chance that Fontecchio carves out a nice role for himself.

Evan Fournier - Won't play SaturdayFournier (trade pending) will not play in Saturday's game against the Clippers.

ImpactThe Knicks traded Fournier to the Pistons on Thursday, but it's hard to see a path to minutes for the veteran in Detroit given the current direction of the franchise.

Ausar Thompson - Carrying a probable tagThompson (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

ImpactThompson has played on a tweaked ankle for two straight games, and that will likely continue on Saturday. He's expected to see a larger role for the remainder of the season with Bojan Bogdanovic no longer with the team. In his last four games, Thompson averaged 9.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.5 steals and 1.3 turnovers.

FEBRUARY 10•ROTOWIRE

Cade Cunningham - Probable for SaturdayCunningham is probable for Saturday's game against the Clippers due to left knee injury management.

ImpactThe Pistons have been taking a cautious approach with Cunningham, but he's expected to suit up for this one. However, the Pistons have a back-to-back set coming up on Tuesday versus the Lakers and Wednesday against the Suns, so they may look to sit him for one of those.
