Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Probable for Saturday
Thompson (heel) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Thompson is likely to be available Saturday despite a right heel contusion. The young forward has averaged 8.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks in 24.8 minutes per game over the Pistons' past five contests.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Plays just 19 minutes in close win
Thompson supplied five points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Thursday's 108-105 win over the Suns.
Thompson's minutes continue to rise and fall, with his 19 minutes Thursday marking his lowest point since he saw 16 minutes against the Jazz on Dec. 26. Including that game, Thompson has averaged 8.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks in 24.0 minutes across his past nine appearances. It seems unlikely at this point that he'll put together the breakout season many were hoping for.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Big night on defense
Thompson chipped in 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 108-93 win over the Bulls.
The third-year forward recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game for the first time since Dec. 20, and the fourth time this season. Thompson's production remains erratic, but over the last 10 games, he's averaging 11.3 points, 6.1 boards, 1.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Sees 22 minutes in win
Thompson ended with eight points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over the Cavaliers.
Tobias Harris (hip) is going to miss a couple of weeks, while Jalen Duren (ankle) is expected to miss at least one week. Thompson should, in theory, play more minutes for Detroit as a result, but his workload Sunday was a bit disappointing from a fantasy perspective.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Non-factor in blowout win
Thompson logged seven points (3-6 FG, 1-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 128-106 victory over the Lakers.
Thompson failed to get anything going in the victory and ceded a lot of production to Marcus Sasser, whose shot was more dialed in. Although Thompson is injury-free, he's in the midst of a horrible three-game slump, producing only 21 points, 14 rebounds and four assists over the last three contests.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Logs double-double in victory
Thompson finished Monday's 110-102 victory over Portland with 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 28 minutes.
After blowing a 21-point lead, Thompson led a late rally in the fourth quarter after Cade Cunningham fouled out. Thompson posted four key points along with two rebounds and a steal in the closing minutes during an 11-2 run that sealed the victory. The win also marked Thompson's third double-double of the season.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Elite two-way performance
Thompson finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists, four blocks and three steals across 26 minutes during Saturday's 112-86 win over Charlotte.
Thompson has arguably his best two-way performance of the season, recording a season-high seven combined steals and blocks. Despite a consistent starting role, Thompson's playing time has been a source of frustration for fantasy managers. While this issue doesn't seem to be going away any time soon, a performance like this is at least a step in the right direction. Look for him to try to build on this effort when the Pistons face the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Ejected vs. Mavs
Thompson was ejected from Thursday's game against Dallas after being assessed two technical fouls, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. He'll finish the night with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in nine minutes.
Thompson was upset after he wasn't granted a foul call, and he was quickly ejected from the matchup upon letting the official know of his displeasure. Javonte Green and Caris LeVert will likely be asked to step up the rest of the way in Thompson's absence.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Woeful in victory
Thompson finished Monday's 112-105 win over Boston with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-7 FT) and six rebounds across 23 minutes.
Thompson continues to struggle, having now played fewer than 30 minutes in six straight games. Although he is locked in as a member of the starting lineup, his limited offensive skill set, particularly an inability to stretch the floor, typically results in him being subbed out of the game during crucial moments. Through 22 appearances, Thompson is averaging just 11.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.2 combined steals and blocks in 27.4 minutes per game, making him barely a top-200 player.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Passive performance Monday
Thompson closed with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 99-98 victory over the Hawks.
Thompson scored in single digits for the fifth time in the past seven games, continuing his serviceable, yet underwhelming season. While it does appear as though he is going to be a regular piece of the starting rotation, Thompson has offered only modest production on the offensive end, averaging just 11.6 points per game through his first 17 appearances. He remains a hold in just about every format, although his overall skill set is better suited for those ignoring the points category.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Scores 13 in win
Thompson closed with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 122-117 victory over the Pacers.
Thompson seemed to be fully back to speed Monday after missing four games due to an ankle injury. This was his third appearance since his absence, but he came off the bench in the first one and played only 28 minutes as a starter in the second contest. In 13 games this season, Thompson is averaging 12.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Limited in return
Thompson (ankle) ended with six points (3-5 FG), three blocks, two rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 victory over the Hawks.
Following a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, Thompson was cleared to play Tuesday but came off the bench for the first time all season, likely in an effort to help manage his minutes coming off the injury. While he was relatively passive on the offensive end, Thompson recorded four combined steals and blocks to bring value for fantasy managers who activated him. Thompson could eventually reclaim a starting role before long, but even if he remains a bench player, he would continue to be worthy of rostering in most formats if he's able to consistently receive around 25-to-30 minutes.

Thompson (ankle) participated in Monday's morning shootaround, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
