Marjanovic scored 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-5 FT) while adding nine rebounds, three assists and a block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 111-104 loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start of the season in place of Andre Drummond (ribs), Marjanovic put together a solid performance. He hadn't played more than 14 minutes in a game prior to Wednesday, so his limited court time was understandable, but if Drummond remains out for another game or two expect Marjanovic to see his workload increase, making him an intriguing DFS option.

Marjanovic will pick up the start at center for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pistons are set to be without Andre Drummond on Wednesday, as he was a late scratch with a rib injury. That allows Marjanovic the opportunity to pick up the start, marking the 7-foot-3 big man's first of the 2017-18 campaign. Marjanovic has yet to see more than 14 minutes this season and while he should surpass that Wednesday, it may not be realistic for him to see a full starter's workload. For that reason, guys like Eric Moreland and Anthony Tolliver will likely be tasked with helping pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Marjanovic had four points (0-4 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, and one assist in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 110-93 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Marjanovic has been buried on the bench for the vast majority of the campaign, and his 14 minutes actually matched a season high. Having appeared in just nine of the team's 31 games in 2017-18, it's unlikely this performance (which included three turnovers from Marjanovic) did all that much to sway Pistons' coach Stan Van Gundy, who has relied more on backup big man Eric Moreland (11.0 minutes per game through 27 appearances) thus far.

Marjanovic will be inactive for Monday's matchup with the 76ers, Jake Chapman of Pistons.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marjanovic isn't dealing with any sort of injury and will instead be deemed a healthy inactive for the second time over the last three games. Even when active, Marjanovic played just four minutes on Saturday, so it appears safe to avoid him for fantasy purposes moving forward.

Marjanovic will be active for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Rod Beard of the Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being designated a healthy inactive Friday, Marjanovic will be an option for coach Stan Van Gundy off the bench Saturday. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll see the court, however, as Marjanovic already has one DNP-CD under his belt.

Marjanovic will be inactive for Friday's game against Washington, Keith Langlois of Pistons.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marjanovic is not dealing with an injury, but the Pistons will designate him as one of their healthy inactives Friday. The decision doesn't come as all that much of a surprise after coach Stan Van Gundy said Monday that Marjanovic will not be guaranteed a regular spot in the rotation. Marjanovic was active for Wednesday's opener against Charlotte but did not see the floor.

Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy said Monday that the team would take a committee approach to the backup center position, meaning Marjanovic won't necessarily be in store for a regular spot in the rotation, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After enduring a disappointing 2016-17 campaign, starting center Andre Drummond bounced back with a strong preseason and looks poised to open the upcoming season with a 30-plus-minute role in hand. When Drummond rests or is sitting due to foul trouble or his career-long free-throw shooting woes, Van Gundy indicated he would determine Drummond's replacement based on matchups. it appears safe to assume that Marjanovic won't be in store for much run against up-tempo teams that deploy centers that can stretch the floor, as the more mobile Jon Leuer could be the top alternative in those scenarios. That could result in some inconsistent playing time for the 7-foot-3 Serbian, which may make it difficult for fantasy owners to take advantage of Marjanovic's typically stellar per-minute production.

Marjanovic will start at center for Monday's preseason matchup with the Pacers, Keith Langlois of Pistons.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pistons are set to be without Andre Drummond (pink eye) on Monday, so Marjanovic will get the call to move up to the top unit. Following the departure of Aron Baynes this offseason, Marjanovic is expected to operate as Drummond's top backup during the upcoming campaign, though Monday's promotion should give him a temporary uptick in minutes.

Marjanovic scored 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-2 FT) and added 11 rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-109 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Marjonovic was one of the few bright spots during the final months of a disappointing 2016-17 season for the Pistons. Though the team went 4-12 over the final weeks of the season, Marjanovic emerged late with three double-doubles in four games, all of which were achieved in 28 minutes or fewer. Marjanovic is under contract with the Pistons for three more seasons.

Marjanovic posted 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal across just 22 minutes during Sunday's 103-90 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Marjanovic didn't attempt many field goals, but his willingness to work around the basket resulted in several trips to the line, where he converted with regularity. He also outrebounded Andre Drummond despite playing fewer minutes, illustrating his ability to produce whenever he sees the requisite usage. Detroit could deploy a similar evenly-distributed rotation for the last couple of games of the season, meaning Marjanovic could be in a position to contribute.
