Detroit Pistons DFS Spin
Cade Cunningham (shin) will undergo season-ending surgery, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Cunningham has been out since early November due to a left shin injury, and he hinted in early December that surgery could be on the table. The 21-year-old took jumpers during pregame warmups last week, but he’ll require a season-ending procedure after consulting with medical professionals. He’s expected to fully recover in time for training camp ahead of the 2023-24 season, while Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey should continue to see increased roles in Detroit’s backcourt for the remainder of the year.
Charlotte Hornets DFS Spin
LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday’s matchup against the Pistons. Ball has played in only three games this year while battling a lingering ankle sprain. It’s unclear when he’ll be able to suit up again, but his next chance will arrive Friday against Atlanta.
