Ellington will be rested for Thursday's game against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as the Pistons have gone out of their way to rest several of their veterans down the stretch. Ellington will return to inactive status after appearing in each of the last two games. He's coming off a two-point, two-rebound, two-assist effort in 21 minutes Monday against Atlanta.

Ellington will start in Monday's game against Atlanta, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Josh Jackson (illness) on the sidelines, Ellington will make his first start in a little over two weeks. Ellington's a streaky player and has scored in double figures in just two of his last five starts.

Ellington will be held out of Thursday's game against the Spurs, Rod Beard of the Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington has played less than 20 minutes in three of the last five games, so he's in need of a rest night as the tanking Pistons play on the second half of a back-to-back set. Mason Plumlee, Jerami Grant and Cory Joseph will also be rested Thursday night.

Ellington will be rested for Monday's game against the Cavs.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington will rest for the fourth time this month, as Detroit continues to funnel minutes to younger players as the season winds down. Expect more of the same -- perhaps even with increased frequency -- over the next few weeks.

Ellington will be rested for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
The Pistons are on the front end of a back-to-back, so they'll rest a number of regulars Friday in an attempt to better their lottery odds with the end of the season in sight. Ellington could return to availability Saturday in Washington, though his role has grown increasingly unpredictable of late.

Ellington will come off the bench Wednesday against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old made his first start since March 29 on Sunday but will return to the bench after putting up 15 points (5-7 3Pt) four assists and two rebounds. Ellington hasn't made a basket from inside the arc in his past four games, so his fantasy value remains limited.

Ellington is starting Sunday's game against the Pistons, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington will be back on the court Sunday after resting the first half of the back-to-back Saturday, and he'll join the starting lineup for the first time since March 29. Ellington could see significant run for Detroit, especially if Dennis Smith (knee) is held out Sunday.

Ellington (rest) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington rested for the first half of a back-to-back set Saturday, but he should be able to return to the court against Los Angeles. Ellington has averaged 3.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game across his last four appearances.

Ellington will not play in Saturday's matchup with the Trail Blazers for rest purposes.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington will be rested on the front-end of a back-to-back set. Look for him to return to action Sunday when the Pistons clash with the Clippers.

Ellington will be rested for Monday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran's minutes have been slashed in recent games as the Pistons begin to turn things over to their young players. Ellington will likely remain in the rotation on most nights, but his days of a supplying high-volume three-pointers to fantasy managers may be over.
