Isaiah Stewart

Isaiah Stewart (illness) won't play in Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact

The big man will be sidelined on Saturday night. He is recovering from some kind of an illness and will be sidelined for at least one game as a result. Look for Paul Reed and Javonte Green to see more work while he's out of the lineup.

Isaiah Stewart has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact

Stewart is battling an illness and is in danger of missing Saturday’s contest. With Jalen Duren (ankle) and Tobias Harris (hip) already ruled out, the Detroit Pistons would rely heavily on Paul Reed, Ronald Holland II and Javonte Green if Stewart is unable to play.

Stewart delivered the first 30-point performance of his professional career Wednesday, torching Chicago for 31 points on 14-of-17 shooting in Detroit's victory. With Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren and Cade Cunningham all sidelined, the big man seized an expanded offensive role and connected on just three fewer shots than his total attempts. He added two three-pointers, one steal and two blocks while converting one of two free throws.

Fantasy Impact

The rebounding total remained modest at three boards, but his efficient shooting and defensive contributions provided substantial fantasy production. Stewart missed only three field-goal attempts while recording his first career 30-point outing, compensating for the limited work on the glass with elite scoring efficiency.

Isaiah Stewart provided a spark off the bench in Tuesday’s victory over Los Angeles, scoring 15 points on a perfect 6-of-6 shooting from the field (2-of-2 FTs) while adding two rebounds, a block, and a three-pointer in 18 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

Stewart saw his role shift mid-game after Tobias Harris suffered a hip injury in the first half, leading to Stewart starting the third quarter. Despite the limited minutes, his efficiency was pristine. If Harris is forced to miss time, Stewart could see a return to the starting lineup, raising his fantasy floor, though Detroit's improved depth may keep his ceiling somewhat capped.

Isaiah Stewart flirted with a triple-double off of the bench for the Pistons Friday night, dishing out five assists, grabbing five rebounds, and scoring a team-high 17 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT) in a 142-115 win over the Hawks.

Fantasy Impact

Stewart continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with one or more rebounds and five or more points in each of his last five games. The 24-year-old continues to offer head coach J.B. Bickerstaff one of many options as part of a physical Detroit lineup on a nightly basis, averaging 10.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 16.6% so far this season.
