Stanley Johnson leads Pistons with career-best 26 points in win over Cavaliers
Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson exploded for a career-high 26 points on 10-for-21 shooting, to go with 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block over 40 minutes of a 125-114 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Johnson returned to the starting lineup with the Pistons short-handed because of their recent trade, and he responded with one of the best games of his career. Assuming Blake Griffin is in the starting lineup for Detroit's next game, Johnson will likely not have to play 40 minutes again on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Our early models for Thursday project Johnson for 18.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,300.
