Beasley contributed 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt), five rebounds and two steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 117-114 win over the Lakers. Beasley returned to a bench role now that Jaden Ivey is available, but the veteran sharpshooter has managed to make an impact for Detroit regardless of whether he's starting or playing off the bench. Beasley has scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven appearances, putting up 20.6 points per game while shooting an impressive 48.1 percent from deep in that span.

Pistons Injury Report
Beasley contributed 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt), five rebounds and two steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 117-114 win over the Lakers. Beasley returned to a bench role now that Jaden Ivey is available, but the veteran sharpshooter has managed to make an impact for Detroit regardless of whether he's starting or playing off the bench. Beasley has scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven appearances, putting up 20.6 points per game while shooting an impressive 48.1 percent from deep in that span.
Ivey accumulated 18 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 117-114 win over the Lakers. Cade Cunningham stole the show for the Pistons in this comeback win over the Lakers, but Ivey delivered a strong showing by recording at least two tallies in five of the six major fantasy categories. Ivey missed two games on Dec. 16 and Dec. 19 due to a knee injury, but he's looked good since returning. He logged 20 points over Phoenix and 18 against the Lakers, both games that ended up in road wins for Detroit.
Cunningham closed Monday's 117-114 victory over the Lakers with 20 points (9-25 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 35 minutes. Cunningham played a prominent role in the Pistons' huge comeback win over the Lakers, and he also extended an impressive streak in the process. He's scored at least 20 points in all but one of his last eight appearances, averaging 24.8 points, 11.4 assists and 6.6 rebounds per game. Over that stretch, the star floor general has also recorded three double-doubles and two triple-doubles.
Detroit recalled Klintman from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Sunday. Klintman has yet to make his NBA debut, but the rookie second-round pick could get the chance to do so Monday against the Lakers. He's been sidelined for much of the season after suffering a right calf contusion early in training camp, but Klintman returned to action for the G League club Dec. 16 and appeared in three games for the Cruise prior to being recalled. He posted 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Motor City's G League loss to the Maine Celtics on Sunday.
Stewart (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers. Stewart will miss his third straight game due to a sprained left knee that he suffered against the Heat on Dec. 16. His next opportunity to play will be Thursday against Sacramento. Paul Reed will continue to serve as the Pistons' backup center behind Jalen Duren due to Stewart's injury.
Duren closed with 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Saturday's 133-125 victory over the Suns. Duren logged his ninth double-double of the season and seems to be past the wrist injury that caused an absence last week. His 34 minutes on the court marked his second-highest minute total of the season, which is an encouraging sign for the third-year pro after logging a 26-game average of five fewer minutes per contest compared to his sophomore campaign.
Ivey finished Saturday's 133-125 win over Phoenix with 20 points (7-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 30 minutes. Ivey returned to the starting five after knee soreness forced him to miss two games, and the Purdue product did not disappoint. Ivey is surpassing previous seasonal averages through 26 games, averaging 17.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists while maintaining a career-high 30.3 minutes per game. Cade Cunningham is the unquestioned top producer for the team, but Ivey is a solid complement to him in Detroit's backcourt.
Cunningham accumulated 28 points (9-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT), one rebound, 13 assists, two blocks and two steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 133-125 victory over the Suns. Cunningham was Detroit's offensive catalyst and rounded out a fantastic week that commenced with his sixth triple-double of the season. Injury issues have plagued Cunningham throughout his career, but he's missed only four games over the first two months of the season and is on pace to surpass all of his previous season averages. His most notable improvements are seen in secondary categories, where he's enjoying a 39 percent increase in rebounds and a 29 percent increase in assists compared to last season.
