Scores 10 points Monday
Stewart scored double-digits for the first time since late November, highlighting just what a struggle it has been for him to deliver viable production. With Jalen Duren playing the most consistent basketball of his young career, Stewart has been relegated to backup minutes. In 20.2 minutes per game, he is averaging just 5.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.

Pops for 22 points in loss
Harris scored at least 16 points for the fourth straight game, putting together arguably his best stretch of the season. On the whole, it's been a disappointing campaign for the veteran, averaging 13.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.8 combined steals and blocks in 32.1 minutes per game. Despite the loss, the Pistons have cobbled together a strong season, with Harris providing the team with a much-needed veteran presence.

Struggles in loss Monday
Hardaway continues to deliver passive performances, having now scored single digits in five of the past seven games. After a slow start to the season, he worked his way into form during the month of January. Although he has remained in the starting lineup, he continues to be outplayed by Malik Beasley. As a result, Hardaway's playing time does not always reflect that of a typical starter.

Huge double-double not enough
It was the 22nd double-double of the season for Cunningham, who also led the Pistons with his 30 points and 14 assists in Monday's narrow loss. Over his last eight contests, the All-Star guard has averaged 30.3 points, 9.8 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.6 three-pointers per game. However, Cunningham is also averaging 5.0 turnovers during this stretch, which is a shortcoming fantasy managers in nine-category leagues hope to see the star floor general improve on going forward.

Still no return timeline
Ivey underwent successful surgery to repair a broken fibula in his left leg at the beginning of January and was given a four-week timeline before his next evaluation, though the guard was always expected to remain out through the All-Star break. Given Bickerstaff's most recent update, it seems like Ivey's absence will extend into March, at the very least, but there's still hope he'll be available toward the end of the season. Surprisingly, the Pistons find themselves in playoff contention this season after finishing with the worst record in the NBA last season, and a healthy Ivey could be a difference-maker in April.
