ADVICE

INSIGHT

Pistons Rotation Still Fluid

Detroit's rotation remains unpredictable under J.B. Bickerstaff despite many players returning.
Expect minutes to fluctuate for Jaden Ivey, Dennis Smith Jr., and Tobias Harris in the short term.

ADVICE

Watch Cavs' Guard Availability Closely

Monitor Darius Garland and Lonzo Ball statuses after the Cavs' back-to-back; assume Garland likely sits Monday.
If Garland is out and Evan Mobley/Jarrett Allen remain limited, consider Craig Porter Jr. for Cleveland opportunity.
