Sasser is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Wizards due to an upper respiratory illness.
EDGE Analysis
Sasser hasn't missed a game since March 1 but could sit out Friday after being a late addition to the injury report with an illness. With Cade Cunningham (knee) and Jaden Ivey (knee) also deemed questionable, the Pistons could be left thin in the backcourt.

Sasser (illness) will play and start at shooting guard in Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as Sasser was given a probable designation heading into the evening. Barring any setbacks, he should not be limited in terms of minutes while replacing Jaden Ivey (knee) in the starting lineup.

Sasser is probable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to illness.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being under the weather, Sasser is expected to suit up Wednesday. That's good news for a Detroit team that could be shorthanded with Cade Cunningham (knee) and Jaden Ivey (knee) both considered questionable.

Sasser chipped in 24 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 124-99 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Sasser finished just two points shy of matching his career-best scoring mark, and he didn't look overmatched in a starting role while replacing the injured Cade Cunningham (knee). Sasser should remain as the starting point guard if Cunningham doesn't return, and with the Pistons out of playoff contention, Sasser could be in line to see a massive uptick in both playing time and usage rate.

Sasser is starting Monday night's game against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sasser is in line for his first start of the season, and he'll get the nod at point guard with Cade Cunningham (knee) ruled out Monday evening. He's averaging 8.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists over 20.4 minutes in his last five appearances as a reserve.

Sasser produced 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 113-104 victory over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Sasser didn't do much over the first three quarters, but he turned up the gas in the final frame as he recorded eight points -- including two threes -- and two assists to help the Pistons close out Wednesday's game. It's the second time Sasser has scored in double digits since March 3 when he returned from a five-game absence due to a right knee bruise. He's competing with Quentin Grimes as the first guard off the Pistons' bench behind starters Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey.
