Tobias - OUT
Cade - Questionable

Hard to win with option 1 and 2 out of games

Technically, 1, 2, and 3.

Interesting how the announcers had said Cade would probably be available when the Pistons begin their home stand.
I didn't see Blaha/Kelser call the games in a while - have they made a mention about that possibility?

Not sure why we would bring Cade back for this one unless its to shake off the rust? Tanking for 6th seed fine with me.

Maybe I'll come back vs. the Knicks, on that Slam night and its cover.

Because his status has gone from probable to questionable. Still, it's more likely he won't play and will return against Memphis or the Knicks.

The line says Cade is playing. If it starts going down, we'll know why.

I hope Cade is playing. The games aren't the same without him (but I also wish Tobias was playing, too)

The bottom 5 teams in the East have been eliminated. TOR has been streaky all year and is currently on 2-game losing streak (including last night). With nothing to play for that trend *should* continue.

This game just got a lot more interesting (unfortunately).

Let's see how far the line drops.

He doesn’t need to play, Harris either, maybe we should keep Stew out too just to keep the league off his back, we got where we need to to be, extra minutes for Holland, Ausar, Fontechio, and Sasser can only really help at this point for experience sake.

Disagree.

It is important to regain and maintain momentum & continuity going into the playoffs.

With Stew being suspended for two games, I'm pretty sure we'll keep him out.

Cade was about -250 to win most improved player before the injury and now is +250. That sucks and he probably has an incentive bonus if he wins it.

Anyway, Cade needs to play SOME games. You don't want his first game back to be game 1 of the playoffs. This team has played poorly the past month (1-6 vs playoff teams) and between all the injuries you want to get that chemistry back before games matter.
