Knox will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against Houston, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knox will be replacing Isaiah Livers in the first unit. Knox gave the Pistons a spark off the bench against the Spurs on Wednesday, scoring 12 points with four rebounds and a pair of three-pointers in 24 minutes.

Knox accumulated 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 113-109 loss to Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit's rash of injuries has revived Knox's career a bit, although his stat lines are far from dependable. Detroit is Knox's sixth team in six years, and despite the state of Detroit's roster, he'll continue to be used as part of the second and third unit. Knox will have other opportunities to produce in the short term, but his fantasy value is limited.

Knox will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Knox started three straight games for Detroit and averaged 11.3 points and 2.3 rebounds across 24.1 minutes. However, he'll be replaced by Isaiah Livers for Wednesday's tilt.

Knox will start Thursday's game against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Isaiah Stewart is sitting out with a toe issue, but he's believed to be day-to-day. Knox already has two starts to his name this season, but he struggled in those with 8.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers on 33.3 percent shooting from the field.

Knox chipped in 14 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across 24 minutes during Saturday's 126-115 loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Knox stepped in and knocked down coming off two consecutive DNP-CDs. The 24-year-old can't be relied on as anything more than a sporadic scoring sparkplug, but perhaps his workload will grow moving forward with Detroit reeling.

Knox won't start Monday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
After a couple of standout games, Knox was rewarded with back-to-back starts. However, he failed to impress, and the Pistons' small-ball lineup didn't work out. Marvin Bagley is back with the first unit, but as long as Jalen Duren (ankle) is sidelined, Knox should carve out a sizable rotational role. Over his first four appearances of the season, Knox has averaged 11.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 27.5 minutes per game.

Knox supplied 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 108-100 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
With Jalen Duren (ankle) sidelined for a third straight game, Knox slid into the starting five for the Pistons and produced his first double-double in three games since rejoining the club last week. The 24-year-old forward has never lived up to his draft pedigree after being a lottery pick in 2018, but Knox is seeing big minutes right now in an injury-wracked Detroit frontcourt and has some short-term fantasy value.

Knox will enter the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, James Edwards of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jalen Duren (ankle) is sitting out again Friday, but Marvin Bagley will go back to the second unit this time around. Knox has played well in his two appearances for the Pistons, averaging 15.0 points on 75.0 percent shooting from the field.

Knox was practicing with the starters during the team's morning shootaround ahead of Friday's matchup versus the Cavaliers, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marvin Bagley (illness) is questionable for the contest but was participating in the shootaround, though he was operating with the backups. With the Pistons in the midst of a nine-game losing streak, it's possible coach Monty Williams will make a change to the starting lineup even if Bagley is cleared to suit up. If Knox is starting, Isaiah Stewart would presumably slide over to center in Bagley's stead.

Knox recorded 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt) and three rebounds across 24 minutes in Sunday's 119-108 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Knox joined the Pistons on a one-year deal Wednesday after being cut by the Trail Blazers on Oct. 21. He made an immediate impact Sunday as the leading scorer on the team coming off the bench. Knox's role on the Pistons could grow if he continues to contribute positively off the bench, and he'll get his next opportunity Tuesday against the Hawks.
