Pistons' Ausar Thompson moving to bench Thursday
Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Thompson started the first 18 games of his career, but the Pistons are making some changes after losing 15 consecutive contests. He should still see a similar amount of minutes with the second unit. Isaiah Livers is replacing Thompson in the starting lineup.
Thompson has a $7,200 salary on Thursday’s nine-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 29.5 FanDuel points over 30.1 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Pistons have the lowest implied total (102.5) in the league today.
