Kennard (hip), according to coach Dwane Casey, is "a little nicked up" but is expected to play Saturday against the Bucks, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard has taken on a huge workload for the Pistons lately, averaging 37.5 minutes across the past six games. There has been no word of a possible minutes limit for Kennard despite the hip soreness.

Kennard is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks due to a hip injury, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard presumably picked up the injury during Friday's win over the Hawks. If he ends up missing Saturday's game, Langston Galloway, Bruce Brown and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk are candidates to see expanded roles.

Kennard recorded nine points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), nine assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block in Friday's 128-103 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old was off shooting-wise but made up for that by distributing the ball and achieving a career-best in assists (nine). The third-year veteran continues to blossom as the Pistons' starting shooting guard, nearly doubling his points-per-game average from last year (9.7 to 17).

Kennard scored 25 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT) while adding seven rebounds, two assists and a steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 120-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Even with Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose back in the lineup, it was the third-year guard who led Detroit's offense once again. Kennard will likely see his usage and production drop somewhat once Griffin and Rose are fully back up to speed, but he's still having an outstanding beginning to his first season in a starting role.

Kennard finished with 29 points (11-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 41 minutes during Friday's 112-106 loss to Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard kept his foot on the gas during Friday's loss to the Pacers, putting up at least 24 points for the fourth time this season. Kennard has also scored in double-digits in all but one of the Pistons games thus far, continuing his breakout season. He is averaging 2.8 triples per contest, however, has just two steals across the first 10 games. The return of Derrick Rose (hamstring) will likely have an impact on Kennard's offensive opportunities, although, he still needs to be on a roster in all 12-team leagues.

Kennard collected 24 points (6-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five assists, and four rebounds in 34 minutes during Monday's 115-99 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard scored 24 for the second straight showing, and he was extremely efficient in this one, finishing with twice as many points as field goal attempts. While he amassed as many turnovers (five) as assists, Kennard continues to produce quality counting stats. Moreover, Wednesday's contest versus the Knicks represents another friendly matchup for fantasy purposes.

Kennard racked up 24 points (8-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four assists, and three rebounds in 37 minutes during Saturday's 113-109 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard stepped up with Derrick Rose (hamstring), Blake Griffin (hamstring), Tim Frazier (shoulder), and Reggie Jackson (back) all sidelined, pouring in three treys for the third time in the last four games. Kennard has reached double figures in scoring in six of seven games to begin 2019-20, and he has handed out at least four dimes in four straight matchups. Kennard may not be relied upon quite as heavily once most of those aforementioned players are healthy, but he seems to have made a leap here in year three.

Kennard tallied 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 112-106 loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard overcame a slow start to end Friday's loss with 15 points including three triples. He has been putting up solid number this season, whether starting or coming off the bench. Across the first six games of the season he is sitting inside the top-100, currently, the 81st ranked player. There is not a lot of upside here but based on his role and current production, he is worthy of rostering in all 12-team leagues.

Kennard collected three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven assists, and one rebound in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 125-113 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard struggled with his shot but handed out a career-best assist total. He had scored at least 13 points in each of the first four games this season, including a career-high 30 points in the opener. Kennard is also averaging 3.6 dimes per game across five tilts, which is exactly twice as many as he managed in 2018-19. There's a decent chance that dips once Blake Griffin (hamstring, knee) returns to action, but the status of Griffin, Reggie Jackson (back), and Derrick Rose (hamstring) makes Kennard a player that's probably worth holding onto in most formats.

Kennard will get the starting nod Monday against Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard came off the bench for each of Detroit's first three contests, but he'll replace Bruce Brown at shooting guard Monday. Kennard has scored at least 13 points in all three games thus far, and he topped out with 30 points, including six threes, on opening night.
