Simone Fontecchio Out Against Celtics
8 months agoDetroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) won't play on Friday night versus the Boston Celtics. Fontecchio will miss his third consecutive game with the toe injury still bothering him. Detroit will likely play it safe as one of the worst teams in the league, and little at stake. Fontecchio has averaged 15.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists on 49% field goal shooting and 44% three-point shooting since his minutes increased after the All-Star break. Isaiah Stewart, Stanley Umude, Taj Gibson, and Ausar Thompson also being out will lead to better fantasy potential for Tosan Evbuomwan, Evan Fournier, and Troy Brown Jr. in a difficult match-up against the top team in the league.
