Schroder had at least 20 points for the first time since joining the Pistons at the trade deadline. The 31-year-old point guard played 28 minutes, his first time playing at least 25 minutes for Detroit. Schroder was dealing with an ankle injury that caused him to miss a game last week, but appeared to be 100 percent Wednesday. There's plenty of opportunities available with the Pistons for Schroder to have fantasy value as the backup point guard.

Schroder and Fontecchio were initially probable for Friday's game, so the status upgrades were expected. Schroder's return after a one-game absence will likely bump Marcus Sasser out of the rotation. Fontecchio's return after missing two games will not have as much impact, but it may mean fewer minutes for Ron Holland II.
Schroder is set to return from a one-game layoff while Fontecchio missed the Pistons' previous two games after suffering a finger injury. Both players should assume their usual backup roles.
Schroder has been downgraded from questionable to out, freeing up rotation minutes within the Pistons' second unit. Marcus Sasser may pick up additional minutes, but he's unlikely to impact fantasy basketball as Cade Cunningham's backup.
