Schroder finished as the club's third-leading scorer while pacing the second unit with 18 points.

Pistons' Dennis Schroder: Hands out eight dimes off bench
Rotowire
Schroder ended Friday's 125-119 loss to the Bucks with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and eight assists in 28 minutes.
Schroder has played off the bench in his last two outings, and the veteran guard will remain in that role if Cade Cunningham remains healthy in the postseason. Schroder can put up solid numbers if given enough minutes, but his fantasy upside will be limited in that bench role, particularly if Cunningham's minutes hover around the 38-to-40 range. Schroder is averaging 11.7 points, 5.5 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game in 21 appearances since the beginning of March (eight starts).

Pistons' Dennis Schroder: Hands out seven dimes Wednesday
Rotowire
Schroder provided 15 points (6-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and seven assists in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 119-103 loss to the Thunder.
Schroder has started in each of his last five outings due to the absence of Cade Cunningham (calf), and the veteran floor general, who's playing for a third different team this season, has done a good job in his absence. Schroder is averaging 13.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 0.6 steals per game over those five starts, and he's expected to remain in the first unit until Cunningham is ready to return to the hardwood. A scenario in which Schroder remains the Pistons' starting point guard until the end of the regular season can't be ruled out.

Rotowire
Schroder (quadriceps) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Schroder may have picked up the injury during Friday's 133-122 win over the Cavaliers, though it doesn't appear to be severe enough for him to be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game. Schroder has started in the Pistons' last three games due to the absence of Cade Cunningham (calf), and over that span Schroder has averaged 13.3 points, 7.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 32.3 minutes per game.

Pistons' Dennis Schroder: Double-doubles off bench
Rotowire
Schroder produced 17 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 113-107 loss to the Thunder.
Schroder surpassed the 25-minute mark just for the second time since the beginning of March and made the most of the opportunity, extending his streak of games with double-digit points to six while also notching his first double-double as a Piston. The expanded role might have been related to the fact that Cade Cunningham was ejected in the third quarter. Since Cunningham won't face any suspension, Schroder should continue to play off the bench when the Pistons take on the Pelicans on Monday.
