Buddy Boeheim - Notches 13 pointsBoeheim finished with 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Sunday's 114-101 loss to the Pelicans.
ImpactPlaying in just his third NBA game, Boeheim saw his biggest workload yet and set multiple career-high marks. The Pistons are dialing back all their main players and are being cautious with injuries given their place in the standings, so Boeheim could get an extended look down the stretch.

Trey Murphy III - Held in checkMurphy totaled eight points (1-12 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 114-101 victory over the Pistons.
ImpactThis was a quiet showing for Murphy, as he took a backseat while Zion Williamson erupted for 36 points. But with Brandon Ingram (knee) expected to miss a couple weeks, better days are likely head for Murphy.
