Joseph turned in 18 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes Sunday in the Pistons' 117-111 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Though Killian Hayes (hip) returned from a two-game absence, Joseph stuck in the starting five for the third game in a row and turned in some credible numbers. Joseph's stat line was propped up by some unsustainably hot shooting, however, and head coach Dwane Casey's decision to keep the veteran in the starting five may just have been designed for the Pistons to better manage Hayes' minutes coming off injury. Assuming the 11-35 Pistons' main focus for the second half of the season is developing younger players, Joseph will be a candidate to see a downsized role in the weeks to come.

Joseph ended with 19 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 133-131 victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph made his first start since Dec. 23 with Killian Hayes (hip) unable to play. The veteran came through with one of his best performances of the campaign, finishing one assist shy of a double-double. Joseph has been very inconsistent this season, but he could be worth a look as a streamer in fantasy leagues if Hayes' injury keeps him out for additional games.

Joseph will start Wednesday's game against the Kings, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph will make his first start since Dec. 23 with Killian Hayes sidelined due to a right hip contusion. The veteran guard is averaging 7.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists across 22.5 minutes per game this season.

Joseph provided 21 points (5-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 135-108 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph has had trouble staying off the injury report recently, but he matched a season-high with 21 points in the loss. Although Cade Cunningham's ejection didn't directly impact his playing time, Joseph had more opportunities for off-the-ball scoring and also put together his second-best assist performance of the season.

Joseph amassed nine points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 26 minutes during Friday's 103-87 win over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph returned from a one-game absence due to a knee injury and produced a solid stat line off the bench. He played twice as many minutes as Saben Lee and looks to be solidified in the rotation as the top guard off the bench. In his first full season with Detroit, the veteran is averaging 7.5 points and 3.7 assists in 22.3 minutes per game, but barring injuries to Cade Cunningham or Killian Hayes, he likely only garners fantasy consideration in deeper leagues.

Joseph (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph missed Tuesday's game against Chicago with a bruised left knee but will be back in action Friday. He averaged 12.0 points and 4.5 assists in 24.5 minutes per game across his two appearances prior to his absence.

Joseph (knee) is out Tuesday against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Joseph will sit out with a bruised left knee. More minutes should be available for Saben Lee and Josh Jackson.

Joseph (knee) is doubtful for Tuesday's contest against the Bulls, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph made all four of his three-point attempts en route to 16 points Monday, but he will likely be sidelined for the second half of the Pistons' back-to-back. If the veteran guard is unable to suit up, Saben Lee, Frank Jackson (COVID-19), Josh Jackson and Hamidou Diallo are all possible candidates for increased minutes off the bench.

Joseph accumulated 16 points (5-8 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 126-116 victory over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph knocked down four threes in one of his better offensive performances of the season in just his second game back from health and safety protocols. Joseph is a productive veteran and can have streaming appeal in spot starts, but he is currently buried on the Detroit bench.

Joseph finished Saturday's 97-92 win over the Magic with eight points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 24 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph returned to his usual reserve role after a six-game absence due to COVID-19 protocols. The veteran point guard out paced his season averages (7.2 points, 3.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds) and didn't appear to be limited during his first game action since Dec. 23.
