Fantasy Impact: Stewart cashed in early as one of the building blocks for general manager Troy Weaver in Detroit. The forward continues to improve offensively while offering solid rebounding numbers for invested fantasy owners.

Fantasy Impact: Omoruyi earned two 10-day contracts before signing for the rest of the season to end last campaign. He has earned himself a spot in the Pistons rotation once again next season.

The Detroit Pistons plan to pick up Alec Burks' $10.5 million option for 2023-2024. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Burks averaged 12.8 points and 3.1 rebounds last season. He should continue to be a solid scorer, particularly from deep for fantasy managers where he shot 41 percent last season.

Fantasy Impact: Livers impressed the team enough last season to have his club option picked up, averaging just under seven points while also playing solid defense. He should play a similar role to last season in the Pistons rotation.

Fantasy Impact: Hampton played for both the Pistons and Magic last season, averaging 6.4 points across 47 games played. He will look to establish a role for himself with a new team.

Monty Williams has agreed in principle to become the next head coach of the Detroit Pistons on a six-year, $72 million deal. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: After falling short of expectations two seasons in a row with the Phoenix Suns, Williams finds a new home in Detroit. While the Suns were never able to win the Finals under him, Williams does bring a winning resume to a young and developing Detroit team. He’ll look to develop Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren and the rest of the young Pistons players into a team capable of playoff success.

Marvin Bagley III (concussion) is available to play in Friday's contest against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Bagley has missed two of Detroit's games while in the league's concussion protocols, but he has finally cleared them and will be well enough to play on Friday. He likely won't have his minutes limited and is expected to be a good fantasy option with Detroit missing multiple key players against the Pacers.

Rodney McGruder (foot) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: McGruder will be out on Friday because of a foot injury. His absence comes as no surprise, and he isn't expected to be back at any point this season. Cory Joseph and R.J. Hampton Jr. will both be set to get more work in McGruder's continued absence.

Bojan Bogdanovic (achilles) is set to remain out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Bogdanovic will miss another game on Friday because of lingering bilateral achilles soreness. He's been out for several weeks because of it already, and it seems clear that we've seen the last of him for this season. Isaiah Livers (ankle) will continue to get more work while the veteran remains out.

Hamidou Diallo (ankle) is out again for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Diallo is still managing an ankle injury that has left him sidelined for several weeks. He will be out again on Friday, and there's no timetable for his return yet. R.J. Hampton Jr. will continue to get more minutes for the Pistons while Diallo remains out in a matchup against the Pacers.

Jalen Duren registered a double-double for the Pistons Friday night, grabbing 10 rebounds and scoring 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-8 3PT) while also blocking one shot and recording two steals in a 121-115 loss to the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact: Duren has made the most of increased minutes of late for the Pistons, scoring at least nine points and grabbing at least five rebounds in four of his last five games. The rookie big man has immense potential and will look to finish the season strong, averaging 8.9 points and 8.7 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of just 13.7% so far this season.

Killian Hayes flirted with a triple-double for the Pistons Friday night, dishing out six assists, grabbing five rebounds, and scoring 10 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3PT, 3-4 FT) while also blocking one shot in a 121-115 loss to the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact: Hayes has been active all over the floor of late for the Pistons, scoring at least six points, dishing out at least five assists, and grabbing at least three rebounds in each of his last five games. The 21-year-old guard has taken a huge step in his development for the Pistons, averaging 9.9 points and 6.1 assists per game to go along with a 20.1% usage rate in 27.7 minutes per game so far this season.

Jaden Ivey posted a near double-double for the Pistons Friday night, dishing out nine assists and scoring 18 points (8-20 FG, 2-9 3PT) while also recording two steals and grabbing three rebounds in a 121-115 loss to the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact: Ivey has been solid on the offensive end of the floor of late for the Pistons, dishing out at least five assists and scoring at least 17 points in each of his last five games for the club. The rookie guard will look to finish the season strong for fantasy owners, averaging 15.8 points, 5.1 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game while carrying a 24.8% usage rate so far this season.

James Wiseman notched a double-double for the Pistons Wednesday night, grabbing 11 rebounds and scoring 14 points (7-9 FG) in a 107-106 loss to the Thunder.

Fantasy Impact: Wiseman continues to be a solid inside option of late for the Pistons, grabbing at least five rebounds and scoring at least 14 points in four of his last five games. The 21-year-old has flashed strong interior post production since the trade deadline, averaging 9.9 points and 5.9 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 21.1% so far this season.

Cory Joseph (illness) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Joseph missed Detroit's last game because of a non-covid illness that he's dealing with, and he's at risk of missing another game on Monday because of it. The team it taking his recovery day-to-day for the time being, and R.J. Hampton Jr. will get more work if Joseph is out against the Bucks.

Kevin Knox II has been traded to the Golden State Warriors in the three-team deal that sent James Wiseman to Detroit. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It's noted that the Warriors may be moving Knox, so it's unclear if this is where he will settle in for the rest of the season. He hasn't had much of a role on the Pistons this season, so any change of scenery could be a good one for the 23-year-old.

Saddiq Bey has been traded to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team trade that also included the Warriors. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: James Wiseman was sent to the Pistons with the Warriors getting picks in return. Averaging just under 15 points per game this season, Bey should provide Atlanta with some solid scoring off the bench. He likely won't see quite as much volume, but the efficiency will be there.

Nerlens Noel (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Noel wasn't able to play on Sunday thanks to lingering soreness in his left foot, and his status for Thursday is also in jeopardy. He hasn't been a very involved member of Detroit's lineup so far this season, so his possible absence wouldn't have a notable impact on any fantasy-relevant players in the Pistons' rotation.
