Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Scores 14 points in blowout
Rotowire
Stewart accumulated 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 132-92 victory over the Bulls.
Stewart had arguably his best game in more than three months, making the most of what ended up being a favorable matchup. Despite the mammoth victory, Stewart still logged just 15 minutes, somewhat disappointing given what could have been. Jalen Duren has been a pillar of consistency over the past month, limiting Stewart to a backup role only.

Rotowire
The NBA announced Friday that Stewart has been issued a one-game suspension for accruing his sixth flagrant foul of the season in Wednesday's 133-119 loss to the Pacers.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Flops in chance with first unit
Rotowire
Stewart finished with two points (1-2 FG), five rebounds and one block across 27 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 loss to the Celtics.
Stewart squandered a chance with the first unit while filling in at center for injured starter Jalen Duren (wrist), failing to make a noticeable impact in the box score during 27 minutes of action. Over 16 games with Duren out of action since 2023-24, Stewart is now averaging 10.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers in 29.5 minutes per contest. Stewart has plenty of upside when it comes to racking up swats and boards when given additional playing time, so despite Thursday's dud in Detroit's starting lineup, the 23-year-old big man would remain worthy of streaming consideration if Duren is unable to return for Monday's tilt with the Heat.
