Ausar Thompson Out With Illness
2 months agoDetroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Toronto Raptors. After exiting Saturday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks due to asthma, Thompson is sidelined for a second consecutive game with the issue. The raw rookie first-rounder hopes to return on Friday for the fifth outing of Detroit's six-game homestand and the first matchup of a two-game series against the Miami Heat. Marksman Simone Fontecchio is averaging 15.2 points, 2.6 treys on 43.0% shooting from deep, and 1.0 steals in 29.0 minutes across 13 games (six starts) since joining the Pistons and is a fine fantasy streamer with Thompson unavailable against a Raptors group giving up the fifth-most triples (13.5) per game this season.
