Detroit Pistons shooting guard Hamidou Diallo (right ankle sprain) will miss the rest of the season, per head coach Dwane Casey.
Diallo injured his ankle on Monday versus the Portland Trail Blazers and exited early. The Pistons had already ruled him out for Tuesday against the Washington Wizards, but now it looks like Diallo is done for the season. Killian Hayes (hand) and Alec Burks (foot) are also unavailable Tuesday, so look for R.J. Hampton, Rodney McGruder, and Cory Joseph to play larger roles.
Diallo averaged 17.4 FanDuel points in 17.8 minutes across 56 games for the Pistons this season, with 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 0.1 3-pointers. McGruder has a $3,800 FanDuel salary on Tuesday and is numberFire's fourth-best point-per-dollar value on the eight-game slate. Our models project him for 21.0 FanDuel points over 27.5 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Pistons’ implied total (106.25) and game total (222.5) are both the lowest on the board.
