Detroit Pistons

Eastern Central


Jaden Ivey filled the stat sheet for the Pistons Saturday night, grabbing seven rebounds, blocking one shot, dishing out two assists, recording two steals, and scoring a team-high 19 points (6-16 FG, 2-4 3PT, 5-6 FT) in a 111-100 loss to the Magic.

Fantasy Impact: Ivey continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, dishing out at least two assists, grabbing at least two rebounds, and scoring at least 11 points in each of the last five games. The guard continues to make the most of a more consistent role as part of the Detroit starting five, averaging 18.1 points, 4.2 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game while posting a 26.0% usage rate so far this season.
