Rodney Stuckey had one of his patented terrible games on Friday, shooting 1-of-7 from the field for four points with two boards, nine assists and one 3-pointer against Charlotte.
Stuckey came in hot and with Calderon out of the lineup, he should have performed against the lowly Bobcats. This is nothing new for Stuckey, but we'd expect him to bounce back on Monday. Apr 12 - 11:38 PM

Date:
Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey started and played 37 minutes, finishing with 18 points, seven assists and two 3-pointers on 5-of-8 shooting in the absence of Jose Calderon.

As long as Calderon is out, Stuckey is worth a look in all fantasy leagues.

Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey played 36 minutes in a spot start at shooting guard on Sunday, scoring 14 points with one 3-pointer, five assists and one steal.

Stuckey started with Jose Calderon (strained triceps) sidelined, though Calderon has a few days to rest before Detroit's next game on Wednesday. As a reminder, the Pistons only play twice next week.

Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Playing 28 minutes off Detroit's bench on Saturday, Rodney Stuckey scored 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting, with eight boards, four assists, one block and five turnovers.

This makes four straight games with 18+ points for Stuckey. The Wolves didn't have much luck keeping him out of the paint, though his five TOs were symptomatic of the reason Detroit lost the game -- they coughed up 24 turnovers compared to just 14 for Minnesota.

Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey had 22 points, four assists and two rebounds in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.

Stuckey drew the start next to Brandon Knight after Jose Calderon (arm) was scratched late. It led to 37 minutes, but his shot was predictably off (5-of-16) against the Celtics' consistently dominant perimeter defense. Stuckey will be a good source of points as long as Calderon is sidelined, but we doubt the Spaniard is anything worse than day-to-day.
Apr 3 - 10:10 PM
Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey made all three 3-point attempts on Monday against the Raptors, scoring 18 points with four boards, six assists and one steal on 7-of-10 shooting.

He did his damage in 29 minutes and he's coming on with a 25-point game on Sunday. Will Bynum (hand) has been out and Stuckey should be flirting with 30 minutes per night. He can fall off at a moment's notice, but he's worth starting in most formats until that happens.
Apr 1 - 9:41 PM
Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey, who was scoreless in 25 minutes on Friday, finished Sunday's tough loss in Chicago with 25 points on 10-of-19 shooting, including two 3-pointers.

Even Tarzan doesn't swing as wildly as Stuckey's production. Tonight he attempted nine shots in the paint, including 4-of-4 FGs in the second quarter, which put Kirk Hinrich and co. on their heels and opened up his jumper. What he'll do against the Raptors on Monday is anyone's guess.
Mar 31 - 9:54 PM
Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey missed all three of his field goal attempts on Friday, finishing with zero points, one rebound and three assists in 25 minutes.

It will be interesting to hear about what happened to Stuckey when things leak out over the summer, because he's much better than what we've seen this season. As for right now? He's worth a look because of Brandon Knight's day-to-day ankle injury but expectations should be held in check.

Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey played just 21 minutes and hit 2-of-7 shots for seven points, two rebounds and two assists in Tuesday's loss to the Wolves.

He had 13 points, eight dimes and two 3-pointers off the bench on Saturday, but will likely be an inconsistent fantasy option now that Brandon Knight is back in action (and struggling) from his ankle injury. Stuckey also took a hard fall on his back tonight, but played through it and looked OK afterwards.

Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey moved to the Pistons' bench on Saturday, finishing with 13 points, two 3-pointers, eight assists and five turnovers in 30 minutes.

He even drained a clutch 3-pointer with two minutes left, playing alongside Brandon Knight with Jose Calderon (11 points, six assists in 30 minutes) watching from the bench. Stuckey had a nice run as the starting SG while Knight (ankle) was sidelined, and he should continue to play 25-30 minutes as Detroit's sixth-man. His role will only be enhanced if Will Bynum misses any games with his hand injury.

Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Making another start at shooting guard, Rodney Stuckey had 11 points, five rebounds and three assists in Friday's loss to the Heat.

In the four games that Brandon Knight (ankle) has missed, Stuckey is averaging 18.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. He has the talent to do more, but Knight could be back as soon as Saturday. The leash is short here.
Mar 22 - 11:08 PM
Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey shot 3-of-8 from the field for 10 points with one board, four assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's ugly 119-82 loss to the Nets.

He put up 32 points in Saturday's loss to the Blazers and was playing well with Brandon Knight (ankle) out of the lineup. The Pistons have a terrible schedule the rest of the way, so if Stuckey is still sitting around on waivers in your shallow league, he's probably not worth a pickup.
Mar 19 - 12:18 AM
Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey is "more effective" with the ball in his hands, according to acting coach Brian Hill.

We'll file this one under the "obvious" department, as Stuckey's game is built around his ability to slash and attack the basket. The Pistons have tried to use him as a spot up shooter this year, but that experiment has not yielded the desired results. An NBA scout told the Detroit News that making Stuckey a spot-up shooter is the wrong move and he should play more with the ball in his hands, but when Brandon Knight (ankle) and Jose Calderon are both healthy, there isn't much of an opportunity for Stuckey to get into a groove.

Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Making another start in place of injured Brandon Knight (ankle), Rodney Stuckey set a season-high with 32 points on 12-of-23 FGs and 6-of-7 FTs.

Stuckey added two 3-pointers and three rebounds with just one turnover, though he didn't have any assists or steals in the Pistons' latest road loss. Keep in mind that Knight could return as soon as Monday and he'll likely send Stuckey back to a sixth-man role. The Pistons also have an unfavorable schedule in the season's final four weeks (3-3-4-2) which adds to the uncertainty of Stuckey's value, but after his past three games (22.6 ppg) he's at least earned a bench spot in 12-team leagues.

Rodney Stuckey - G - Pistons

Rodney Stuckey started in place of injured Brandon Knight on Wednesday and had 22 points, three boards, five assists, a steal and a 3-pointer on 8-of-18 shooting in 38 minutes.

Stuckey had 15 in his last game, when Knight suffered the injury, but had scored 7, 1, 3, 0, 6 and 2 points in his previous six games. Knight did some work during Wednesday's pregame but there's still no timetable for his return, meaning Stuckey should be a nice fill-in for as long as he's out, and we'd recommend picking him up. Will Bynum is also worth a look in many leagues, as he had 16 points, four assists and three steals in 28 minutes.
