Sasser tallied eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three assists and one rebound in 21 minutes in Wednesday's 117-97 win over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser saw extended playing time Wednesday with Dennis Schroder (ankle) unavailable. The 24-year-old has seen his minutes dwindle since the Pistons acquired Schroder, not appearing in four of the previous six games. With the Pistons in a surprise playoff push but also dealing with injuries, it remains to be seen whether or not Sasser will consistently be in J.B. Bickerstaff's rotation.

Sasser supplied 14 points (5-5 FG, 4-4 3Pt) in 11 minutes during Tuesday's 132-92 win over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser moved back into the rotation, scoring double digits for just the ninth time in 42 games. The addition of Dennis Schroder prior to the trade deadline resulted in Sasser sitting out the previous game. While it was good to see him back on the court, it is likely this was due to the fact the Pistons' lead exceeded 40 points at the half.

Sasser finished Monday's 110-91 loss to the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists and one steal in 19 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser made a rare splash off the bench in this contest, but he remains off the fantasy radar in most formats. He's averaging 14.7 minutes in 14 January appearances to go with 5.9 points, 2.6 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

Sasser totaled 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 22 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-98 victory over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year guard set a new season high in made threes while posting his best scoring performance since he erupted for 22 points against Memphis on Nov. 27. Sasser has seen his workload increase with Jaden Ivey (lower leg) out of action, but Wednesday was the first time he really took advantage. Over the prior three contests, he'd scored a total of just nine points while going 1-for-11 from beyond the arc.

Sasser ended with four points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 15 minutes during Monday's 118-115 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser has played 15 or more minutes for the Pistons in four of the last five games, helping shoulder the load in the backcourt following Jaden Ivey's (lower leg) potentially season-ending injury. Sasser is averaging 5.5 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, shooting a career-high 47.8 percent from the floor and 33.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Sasser totaled nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound, four assists, one block and two steals across 17 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser saw 17 minutes of action against Boston after being completely phased out of the rotation against the Knicks last week. Despite losing Thursday, Sasser recorded at least one steal and one block for the third time this season. The 24-year-old guard has displayed impressive efficiency off the bench this year, posting 54.2/38.9/100 shooting splits, but his role remains sporadic.

Sasser provided 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

The starters struggled for the Pistons in this 15-point loss, but Sasser was one of several bench players who exceeded expectations for Detroit. Scoring numbers aside, Sasser was able to make an impact both as a playmaker and on-ball defender. However, there's a strong chance this was an outlier and not a sign of things to come in the future. Sasser should continue to have a limited role off the bench until further notice.

Sasser logged 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Saturday's 111-100 loss to Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser joined Jaden Ivey (19) and Malik Beasley (18) as the only Pistons players to score in double-digits Saturday. It was a nice bounce-back performance for Sasser, who had failed to reach double-digit points over his last four games, including a scoreless effort against the Hornets on Thursday. Sasser's 21 minutes of playing time was due to Cade Cunningham's (hip) absence, and the former could see extended playing time against the Raptors on Monday if Cunningham remains sidelined.

Sasser had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across nine minutes during Thursday's 123-121 overtime loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old went scoreless for the first time since Nov. 3, and he saw a decrease in playing time from his average of 10.7 minutes per game despite Cade Cunningham exiting the game with a hip injury. Across his last five outings, Sasser has averaged 5.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 14.0 minutes per game.

The Pistons exercised the third-year option of Sasser's rookie contract Monday, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sasser came off the bench for most of the 2023-24 campaign, but he was in the Pistons' starting lineup over his last 10 regular-season outings and averaged 13.6 points, 4.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.9 steals over 30.9 minutes per game. Sasser and Malik Beasley are projected to be the first guards off the bench for the Pistons behind starters Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey.
