Stewart has missed Detroit’s last two games, including Monday’s overtime win over the Wizards. With Tobias Harris (ankle) also out, Ron Holland II has moved into the starting lineup and is worth streaming in deeper leagues. Beef Stew’s absence also impacts the center rotation, with Paul Reed moving into the backup role.

Stewart, who sprained his ankle during Friday’s win over the Nets, was initially doubtful for Sunday. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, as Tobias Harris is also out with a sprained ankle. Ron Holland started the second half of Friday’s victory, making him the likely candidate to fill the void on Sunday.

Stewart has been starting in place of Tobias Harris (ankle), and if Stewart ends up playing, he should get another start. However, the doubtful tag holds true, Ron Holland, who started the second half on Friday, would likely start against Philadelphia.

Stewart sprained his left ankle during the second quarter of Friday’s game, exiting with 8:36 remaining in the period. While Jalen Duren replaced Beef Stew at the time of the injury, he’s already in the starting lineup. Ron Holland started the third quarter and could remain in that role if Stewart and Tobias Harris (ankle) aren’t available for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

Beef Stew replaced Tobias Harris (ankle) in the starting lineup against Memphis, and it resulted in a monster night for him. It was Stewart’s first start of the season, and he finished with season-highs in points and rebounds while tying his season-high for blocks, assists and three-pointers. If Harris remains out against the Jazz on Wednesday, Stewart could be in line for another start and would be considered a valuable streaming target in that scenario.

Stewart moves into the starting lineup on Monday, as the Pistons are without Tobias Harris. Beef Stew has played well to begin the season, and the spot start raises his fantasy ceiling. The lineup change may also mean a few more minutes for Paul Reed, but he is not worth the streaming risk.

Had the Pistons mounted a comeback and won this game, Stewart would’ve been the player of the game for Detroit hands down. The 24-year-old power forward had 20 points on 14 shots, made both of his three-point attempts, grabbed 10 rebounds and had four blocks. All in 25 minutes of action. Stewart isn’t always going to be this efficient offensively and even when he is he doesn’t play over 30 minutes. He’s still going to be hard pressed to provide standalone fantasy value this year.

Stewart, who missed the final five games of the Pistons’ first-round playoff series with the Knicks due to a knee injury, has started both of Detroit’s preseason games. Starter Jalen Duren has been out, so this is not a case of Beef Stew taking the lead in a competition for that role. Having failed to crack the top 100 in any of his first five seasons, the best-case scenario for Stewart would be to provide consistent late-round value. However, he isn’t a player who should be selected in standard league drafts.

Stewart appeared at Pistons shootaround Thursday afternoon, his first basketball activity since leaving Game 1 against the Knicks with a knee injury. Still, the 23-year-old center isn’t available for Game 6 as he’s set to miss his fifth game in a row. The Pistons are in a must-win situation Thursday and will have to roll with Paul Reed again as the backup center to Jalen Duren.

Stewart has missed Detroit’s last four games but could return for the final game in Detroit of this series. The Pistons must win to stay alive, but that wasn’t enough of a factor for Stewart to play through the injury in Game 5. If he remains out, Paul Reed will continue to fill out the backup center minutes.

Stewart has not appeared in a game since the series opener on April 19 due to an inflamed right knee. Beef Stew is left to hope his teammates can force a Game 6 as they go into Tuesday trailing by three games to one. Paul Reed will continue to serve as Jalen Duren’s backup, but he’s unlikely to surpass 15 minutes in that role.

Stewart is set to miss his third straight playoff game on Sunday. The backup center’s knee isn’t recovering quickly, so Paul Reed should continue to pick up the slack as a bench contributor in Game 4.

Stewart has missed the last two games of this series, with Paul Reed replacing him in the rotation. The Pistons would stick with that adjustment if Beef Stew misses Game 4. His absence also means more playing time for starter Jalen Duren, provided he stays out of foul trouble.

Stewart will miss a second straight game due to right knee inflammation, leaving the Pistons down a player within their frontcourt rotation. Paul Reed will serve as the backup center, while starter Jalen Duren’s minutes will increase. Reed only played 11 minutes in Monday’s Game 2 victory but led the Pistons in plus/minus.

Stewart’s lingering case of right knee inflammation kept him on the sidelines for Monday’s Game 2 victory. Starter Jalen Duren’s playing time increased, as he logged 37 minutes, with Paul Reed playing the other 11 at the center position. Expect a similar split if “Beef Stew” cannot play on Thursday.

Stewart underwent postgame imaging after Saturday’s loss after struggling through that game. He won’t be available as Jalen Duren’s backup off the bench. Paul Reed is next in line at center, but he isn’t a player that Detroit wants to have to trust in the postseason. Duren may just end up playing more minutes.

Stewart has been dealing with right knee inflammation for a while now, including during Saturday’s loss to the Knicks in the series opener. While “Beef Stew” played for 19 minutes, he appeared to struggle with his movements and was not as impactful as he could have been. If Stewart cannot play on Monday, Paul Reed would likely move into the rotation; however, he is not as impactful, especially defensively.

Sunday’s game will be Stewart’s second straight missed with a sore knee. With the Pistons locked into the sixth seed in the East, ensuring Beef Stew is healthy for the playoffs is the priority. Paul Reed will play rotation minutes off the bench and may take on a heavy workload in the regular season finale.

Beef Stew returned to the court on Saturday after a two-game suspension, and he did so as a starter. Jalen Duren (leg) was ruled out shortly before tip-off, so Stewart was inserted into the starting lineup. And he had a productive night, filling the stat sheet in 34 minutes on the court. Duren’s absence also meant Paul Reed remained in the rotation, but he offered limited production in his 11 minutes on the court. Once Duren returns, Stewart will head back to the bench.

Stewart will miss Wednesday’s tilt with Oklahoma City and Friday’s matchup with Toronto. His next chance to return will be Saturday against the Grizzlies, and Paul Reed should fill in for him while he’s suspended.

Not long after being called for his 13th technical foul of the season, Stewart was ejected for his role in a fight that led to five players receiving their marching orders. Beef Stew played seven minutes, going scoreless with five rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot. His early exit means rotation minutes for Paul Reed, who may have deep-league value if the league suspends Stewart.

Initially probable for Wednesday’s game, Stewart is officially available. He’ll slot into his usual backup center role, where Beef Stew offers limited fantasy value. Paul Reed’s minutes will decrease, although Tobias Harris’ (personal) absence may keep him in the rotation.

Stewart missed Monday’s game against Utah, but he is expected to be back against Los Angeles. Paul Reed filled out the backup center minutes against the Jazz, but he won’t have as large of a role with Stewart back in the lineup.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Stewart will not play due to a lower back contusion. His absence likely means Paul Reed will enter the rotation, but he’s unlikely to get the run needed to provide reliable streaming value. Jalen Duren remains the starter and may play a few more minutes with Stewart sidelined.

Stewart wasn’t on Detroit’s initial injury report, but there is now a chance that he sits out against Utah. If that happens, Paul Reed will fill out the backup center minutes, which will be a limited role with Jalen Duren healthy.
