Wright totaled 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, three steals and one block across 30 minutes during the Pistons' 122-107 loss to the Cavs on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has made an impact on the team without having to score 20-plus points every night. Over his last four games, Wright is averaging 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.7 blocks to go along with 16.7 points per game.

Wright scored 28 points (8-12 FG, 4-8 3PT, 8-9 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, nine assists, two steals and one block across 36 minutes in Monday's win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
With both Derrick Rose (knee) and Killian Hayes (hip) sidelined, Wright played a big role in the Pistons' offense. He delivered with a career-high 28 points, shooting efficiently from all areas of the court. Most notable was his aggressiveness from beyond the arc, as he had attempted at least five three-point field goals only twice in 16 games prior to this performance. Along with the scoring, Wright provided his typical well-rounded stat line and will continue to chip in across the board even if his shooting falls back down to typical levels.

Wright scored 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt) to go with six rebounds, three steals and two assists across 28 minutes in a 103-102 loss to Houston on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright led the Pistons in the first half with 11 points which outscored each of his previous five outings. The guard hasn't gotten to the line much lately after shooting 82.4 percent on 4.3 attempts from the charity stripe in December, averaging less than one free-throw attempt per game in January. Wright scored in double digits for just the fourth time this season after averaging 5.2 points across his last five starts.

Wright managed two points (1-4 FG), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Monday's 113-107 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Wright matched his season low with two points as his shooting woes across the last four games continued. In his last four outings, Wright is shooting an abominable 23.3 percent from the floor while hoisting up 7.5 field goal attempts per game. Wright hasn't been able to fully take advantage of Killian Hayes (hip) being sidelined, but he'll continue to have opportunities to right the ship.

Wright finished with six points (2-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 36 minutes during Sunday's 96-86 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was unable to get much going on the offensive end during the loss but managed to salvage his night with some gaudy defensive numbers. The starting job appears to be his for now and the fact he played 36 minutes is a real positive. If you drafted Wright or grabbed him off the waiver wire, you need to expect poor production in the scoring department from time to time. His value lies in his ability to give you assists and defense, something he did in this one.

Wright put up three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 130-115 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Thrust into the starting five with rookie Killian Hayes (hip) out indefinitely, Wright struggled to get anything going early as the Bucks quickly seized command of the game. Meanwhile, Derrick Rose remained on the second unit and put up 10 points in 11 minutes, but he wasn't able to finish the contest due to a knee contusion. Rose was able to practice Thursday and looks on track to play Friday against the Suns, so head coach Dwane Casey could choose to split the minutes relatively evenly between the two point guards, if not lean more heavily on Rose.

Wright is starting Wednesday's game against the Bucks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old played a season-low 10 minutes during Monday's contest, but he'll join the starting lineup with Killian Hayes (hip) out indefinitely. Wright and Derrick Rose should handle point duties while Hayes is sidelined.

Wright had two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in Monday's 125-115 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Wright only entered the game after Killian Hayes exited with a hip injury. This could open up an opportunity for Wright, who seemed destined for an expanded role that has not come to fruition. He averaged 6.2 points in his past five games off the bench.

Wright isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Golden State, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old started the first two games of the season but will now come off the bench for the second straight contest. Wright still put up 18 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 22 minutes in the bench role Monday, and he should continue to see plenty of opportunities in Detroit's rotation.

Wright scored 19 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3PT, 7-9 FT) to go with six rebounds, four assists and one block during 42 minutes in Saturday's 128-119 double-overtime loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Wright played valuable minutes alongside Derrick Rose as the Pistons' main backcourt options. The guard scored all seven of Detroit's points in the second overtime period, but proved empty as the Cavs pulled away. The 28-year-old played just under 20 minutes in the first contest of the year but will likely have an increased role if rookie guard Killian Hayes continues his slow start to the season.
