Sidelined Friday Stewart (shoulder) will not take the floor for Friday's matchup with the Pelicans.

Impact Stewart's lingering soreness in his left shoulder will hold him out of a third consecutive contest Friday. With both Stewart and Jalen Duren (ankle) absent, Nerlens Noel will likely start at center while Saddiq Bey is the favorite to play the four. Stewart's next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against the Knicks.

Ruled out Friday Joseph has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to personal reasons.

Impact Joseph has been an inconsistent member of the Pistons' rotation recently and will be unable to suit up against New Orleans. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to the court, but his next chance to do so will be Sunday against the Knicks.

Remains sidelined Friday Duren (ankle) is out for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.

Impact Duren's absence streak will extend to four games due to a sore right ankle. The rookie big man's next chance to play is Sunday's matchup against the Knicks.

Questionable Friday Stewart (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.

Impact Stewart is listed as questionable Friday after missing the previous two games with left shoulder soreness. Nerlens Noel has started at center with both Stewart and Jalen Duren (ankle) sidelined and could get another look at the spot if the pair -- Duren is already ruled out -- sit again.

Posts strong defensive numbers Noel finished with two points (1-2 FG), five rebounds, four blocks, three steals and two assists across 21 minutes in Wednesday's 135-118 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact While making his second consecutive start in place of Jalen Duren (ankle), Noel once again filled it up in the defensive categories while playing precisely 21 minutes. Even though the Pistons were also without Marvin Bagley (hand) and Isaiah Stewart (shoulder), head coach Dwane Casey chose not to overextend Noel, with Detroit instead opting for small-ball lineups when the veteran center was off the court. Noel proved that he didn't need big playing time to be a useful streamer for defensive stats, but his value may disappear as soon as one of Duren or Stewart is available to play.

JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins rotation Wednesday Livers (shoulder) logged 18 minutes off the bench and finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in Wednesday's 135-118 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Though the Pistons were without both members of their starting frontcourt (Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart) as well as Marvin Bagley (hand), Livers handled only a light role off the second unit in his return from a 20-game absence. Considering that Saddiq Bey (31 points on 10-for-16 shooting) and Nerlens Noel (four blocks, three steals) both performed well in place of Stewart (shoulder) and Duren (ankle), respectively, Livers may not see his role grow much even if Detroit remains shorthanded in the frontcourt Friday against the Pelicans.

'Team guy' Nerlens Noel comes up big for Pistons in expanded role When the Pistons needed Nerlens Noel the most, the veteran big man proved he still had plenty left in the tank to anchor a defense.

Teases double-double in win Ivey posted 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 135-118 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact The rookie guard is still looking for his first career double-double that includes, but Ivey has dropped eight or nine dimes in a game four times now, so it seems only a matter of time. His shooting is also improving, and the 20-year-old has scored in double digits in six straight games while shooting 52.6 percent (10-for-19) from three-point range and averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 assists, 4.0 boards and 0.8 steals.

Just misses double-double Hayes had 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 135-118 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact The third-year point guard is still struggling with consistency since taking over the starting spot from Cade Cunningham (lower leg) in November, but Hayes is beginning to flash his upside more often. His improved three-point shooting is especially encouraging -- the 21-year-old has drained at least one three in eight straight games, averaging 14.5 points, 7.4 assists, 3.1 boards, 1.9 steals and 1.9 three-pointers over that stretch while shooting 37.5 percent (15-for-40) from beyond the arc.

JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pops for 27 against T-wolves Bogdanovic ended with 27 points (9-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 135-118 victory over Minnesota.

Impact The veteran forward missed Detroit's previous game with a minor calf strain, but Bogdanovic was better than OK in his return and reeled off 20 or more points for the ninth time in his last 10 contest. The 33-year-old is averaging 22.6 points, 4.0 assists, 3.6 boards, 2.4 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch, and with Cade Cunningham (lower leg) and three key members of the Pistons' frontcourt all on the shelf, the team will need Bogdanovic to continue providing consistent offense.

JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pours in season-high 31 Bey produced 31 points (10-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 135-118 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact With the Pistons missing multiple starters, Bey stepped up and topped 30 points for the first time this season. The third-year forward still isn't as consistent as Detroit would like, scoring just two points against the Sixers on Sunday. Still, over his last nine games, Bey is averaging a solid 15.2 points, 4.3 boards, 2.2 threes, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.7 minutes a night.
