Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thompson will shed the questionable tag and suit up for this game despite dealing with an ankle issue. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so Thompson could sit out on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should check back for an update on his status ahead of that game against the Toronto Raptors. Thompson will likely be asked to take on a larger role offensively with Tobias Harris (hip), Duncan Robinson (hip), and Jalen Duren (knee) all sidelined. He should be a solid fantasy option with the Pistons shorthanded for Monday's slate.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Detroit will begin a back-to-back set and has some decisions to make. Thompson is managing a right ankle injury, so he's likely to sit out at least one of the upcoming games. Kevin Huerter, Ron Holland II, and Javonte Green could all see more time on the court in Thompson's absence. Even if Thompson is in the lineup, the trio might still have expanded roles, as the Pistons are poised to head out with a new-look starting lineup. Jalen Duren (knee), Duncan Robinson (hip), and Tobias Harris (hip) are all unlikely to play.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota after recently managing a sprain that already cost him multiple games this month. If he sits, Kevin Huerter and Ron Holland II could see expanded roles. Huerter is the more appealing fantasy option after posting 22 points, four three-pointers, and one steal in 34 minutes in his last start. Holland contributed seven rebounds and four assists in 19 minutes and is more of a deep-league option. Javonte Green could also see situational minutes if Detroit remains shorthanded.

As expected, Thompson is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. Despite the minor ankle injury, Thompson is ready to go for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The second-year forward is on a roll defensively, with 12 steals over his last three games. He needs to be rostered and started in most fantasy formats right now. Thompson looks to keep the good things rolling after dropping 18 points with four steals during Wednesday's contest.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. He has missed five games due to a right ankle injury. Detroit has used Marcus Sasser as Thompson's replacement in the starting unit, and he is poised to drop back to the bench. As a reserve, Sasser doesn't have any fantasy value, averaging 4.8 points and 1.8 assists off the bench this season. Thompson is having a career year with the Pistons, posting 10.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.9 steals per game.

All three are deep-league streamers, though their roles remain shaky

The 22-year-old has averaged 13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals this season, so it was unfortunate when an ankle injury kept him off the floor for Detroit's last four games. Even with the chance of fewer minutes than usual, Thompson should find a spot in most fantasy lineups. His return should mean less work for Ron Holland II.

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) has been sidelined for four straight games with an ankle sprain, but he seems to be nearing a return after moving well in Monday's shootaround before being ruled out along with Cade Cunningham (hip). Both starters are questionable for Tuesday night in Atlanta as the Pistons look to extend their winning streak to 11 games. If Thompson is ruled out again, Ron Holland II and Javonte Green will continue to get extra minutes and usage at forward and be excellent streaming and DFS options.

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) has a chance to return from a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain. On the official injury report against the Indiana Pacers on Monday, Thompson drew a questionable tag. The dynamic wing hasn't played since their win over the Phoenix Suns on November 9, but he has seen career highs in almost every category across the board. He's averaging 13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.4 turnovers across 29.1 minutes per game. If he remains out for a fourth consecutive game, Duncan Robinson and Ron Holland II will continue to see more opportunities.

He tweaked his ankle during Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers and wasn't available for Monday's overtime victory over the Washington Wizards. While Thompson doesn't have a firm return date, it doesn't appear as if the injury will keep him on the shelf too long. With that in mind, Javonte Green, coming off an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double, has streaming potential in deeper fantasy formats if he ends up getting the start.

He missed his team's last two games due to illness, but just before that, he stepped up with 10 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and an impressive total of six steals in 26 minutes against the Timberwolves. He got the start in that contest in place of Jaden Ivey (leg), and if Thompson is back in the starting lineup on Thursday, he'll be a strong DFS option at his salary.
