Josh: Foul trouble kpet minutes lower.
Kyle: Turner was dominant, including a season-high 5 blocks. This is a sell-high moment to consider given Turner's injury history, but there's also some upside in his minutes going forward, so he's fine to just roll with, as it may be hard to get the right value back in a trade.
Droppable 12 teams Josh: No upside and if they are are serious, he needs to be relegated to a backup role.
Sell High Kyle: I'd be looking at sell-high options on Stewart in most leagues, concerned that the return of Bogdanovic could cost Stewart his starting job, or at least minutes off the top.
Hold Josh: I'm holding 12 team leagues unless he is my worst player - then he can go.
Josh: Should be starting next game. Laughable he didn't here.
Kyle: Duren was back from his ankle rehab and played good minutes with a nice line, but coach Williams decided to bring Duren off the bench in his first game back for some ridiculous reason. Duren should be back starting soon. It's possible this was a psychological move to express to everyone on the roster that they too can come off the bench, which means we could see another starter shifted to the bench soon.
Josh: Back to Earth here and that's without Nesmith. A fringe guy for now, but I doubt it holds.
Maybe Add 12 teams Kyle: Toppin has played well of late, and he's worth considering as a flier or streamer in most leagues. I'd be selling high, though, too, as Nesmith was out here, and Toppin probably won't be able to continue commanding the big minutes he has recently.
Josh: Big dip in production. Defensive stats have dried up. Still roster him, but the party from earlier is over.
Buy Low Kyle: Ausar is having a poor stretch, and while there is concern of coach Williams doing something bizarre with his rotation, I wouldn't be overly worried about Ausar's role, as he's the team's best defender and should only command a bigger role as we go, regardless of who else is healthy on the roster. I'm actively buying low.
Kyle: Bagley put up a decent line in his short minutes. He made a spot start here for some reason despite Duren being healthy, but I'd expect Bagley back on the bench next game, and maybe out of the rotation if Stewart pushes from the starting lineup to the backup center job.
Josh: Blocks machine and they played two centres together here. ALways someone to watch, but no continuity in role.
Josh: Another strong scoring game with bad efficiency. He needs Bojan back and that's how sad things are in Detroit.
Droppable 12 teams Josh: More minutes than Hield, but production isn't it. FTAr is down from last season and peripherals are poor.
Watch Kyle: At least continue to keep tabs on Mathurin in case he finds more touches and minutes as we go. The bigger minutes are good to see but unlikely to stick quite this high if the team is healthy, so Mathurin is just a streamer in standards for now.
Maybe Add 12 teams Josh: I still fear Monty benches him for Bojan. His efficiency has been great, but he will struggle to add peripherals. I don't mind an add to see where it goes.
Maybe Add 12 teams Kyle: Ivey played big minutes with a nice line and is worth taking a flier on or streaming to see where this goes, but it's also a sell-high moment for Ivey with Bogdanovic close to a return and the starting lineup possibly in flux when Bog is back.
Droppable 14 teams Josh: COuld be out of the rotation soon.
Droppable Josh: His run is over, clearly.
Maybe Add 12 teams Kyle: If you need scoring upside, Bogdanovic is worth taking a flier on in most leagues to see how he fares in the Pistons' rotation when back, possibly as soon as Monday.
