Isaiah Livers Upgraded To Available On Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (ankle) is prepared to make his season debut on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets after being upgraded from questionable to available.

Jalen Duren To Remain Sidelined On Monday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) was originally upgraded to questionable but head coach Monty Williams said that he's been playing 3-on-3 and has been able to do more.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (shoulder) will now miss Sunday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. The 22-year-old has appeared in every game for the Pistons this season. However, he's now out to tend to a left shoulder sprain. Detroit's injury report is lengthy for Sunday's contest, meaning Jaden Ivey or Marcus Sasser could be thrust […]

Killian Hayes Could Miss Sunday's Game

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (shoulder) may miss Sunday's contest against Toronto. The 22-year-old has played as well as expected this season, averaging 10.2 points, 4.5 assists, and 1.2 steals.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) remains sidelined for Sunday's matchup with the Raptors.

Jalen Duren To Remain Out On Tuesday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Hawks. He's been bothered by an ankle injury, forcing him to miss time sporadically since the start of November.

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds and Weekly Planner: Week 4 (11/13-11/19)

One of my favorite things about following the NBA and covering it for fantasy/betting content is that the players who matter on a nightly basis are constantly changing and those who stay dialed into these ebbs and flows are rewarded by winning their leagues (or bets) or whatever. We are only three weeks into the […]

Jaden Ivey Cleared For Action Against Chicago

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) will play in Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The 21-year-old missed his last four games because of an illness. However, he had been phased out of Monty Williams' rotation before his extended absence, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect a productive showing, even more so with Alec Burks (forearm) […]

Alec Burks Returning On Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (forearm) will play on Sunday against the Bulls. The 32-year-old missed his previous seven games because of a forearm contusion, which was unfortunate considering he was averaging 15 points before going down with the injury. That said, there's a chance he could see fewer minutes than usual. However, Burks should […]

Jalen Duren Out On Sunday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus the Bulls. The 19-year-old continues to battle right ankle soreness, an injury that's already forced him to miss two games this season. As a result, Marvin Bagley III, averaging 10 points, four rebounds, and one block in two starts this season, has a place […]

Jaden Ivey Might Miss Another Game Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) is questionable for Sunday's Central Division showdown with the Chicago Bulls.
