Ausar Thompson

The Pistons are without Cade Cunningham for Wednesday's game, as he's out with a wrist injury. Ivey moves into the starting lineup, making his first start since returning from a fractured fibula on November 22. While this does raise Ivey's ceiling, the boost may not be significant since Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser are also available.

The Pistons remain without Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. While Stewart's starting is not a surprise, Reed's doing so may raise some eyebrows. He hasn't started a game since November 14, when the Pistons were without Duren, Stewart and Harris. The three perimeter starters are unchanged.

For the first time in four games, Thompson managed to crack double figures in the points category. And he's been a disappointment in fantasy basketball thus far, sitting well outside the top-150 in eight-cat per-game value. For a player who many fantasy managers were banking on for top-100 value, the season has reached an uncomfortable point. While few category league managers want to move on from a player with Thompson's defensive potential, it will be challenging to get decent value back in a trade.

Tobias Harris injured his hip during the first quarter of Tuesday's win over the Lakers, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. As was the case earlier this season, Stewart will move into the starting lineup. Already worth rostering in deep leagues, Beef Stew is worth streaming in 12-team formats until Harris returns.
