Fontecchio logged eight points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 132-92 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Fontecchio tallied double-digit rebounds for just the second time this season, taking advantage of a Bulls team that failed to show up. The Pistons took control early and were never troubled, allowing their second and third units to play meaningful minutes. Fontecchio typically plays minutes in the mid-teens, limiting his overall upside.

Fontecchio finished Wednesday's 113-98 victory over the Nets with 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes off the bench.
EDGE Analysis
The 17 points were his best scoring effort since Nov. 27, when Fontecchio dropped a season-high 18 on the Grizzlies. The 29-year-old forward has played more than 20 minutes in back-to-back games after returning from a brief absence at the beginning of January to attend to a personal matter, but that increased workload has come while Ausar Thompson (illness) has been sidelined.

Fontecchio has reached double figures in scoring in 10 outings this season, adding five or more boards in two in two of those contests. He has recorded at least five rebounds on five occasions with Monday marking his first such outing since last doing so Nov. 30.
