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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Thompson finished Monday's 112-105 win over Boston with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-7 FT) and six rebounds across 23 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Thompson ended with six points (3-5 FG), two rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 victory over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson returned, albeit off the bench, after a four-game absence due to an ankle injury. While he was relatively passive on the offensive end, he recorded four combined steals and blocks. It is unclear whether he will move back into the starting lineup, but nonetheless, he should be rostered across all fantasy formats.

Thompson is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson is available for Tuesday's game, but it appears he'll be working with the second unit in his return from a four-game absence. Expect fewer minutes for Ronald Holland and Caris LeVert with Thompson active.
