Tobias Harris Injury Update: Is Harris Playing Tonight vs. Magic?
Tobias Harris is officially questionable for Friday’s game against the Magic, per the NBA injury report.
Harris initially sustained a left ankle sprain in April 29’s 116-109 triumph over Orlando. Despite being hurt, he was able to play through the pain and wound up logging 31 key minutes for Detroit in front of the home crowd. He scored 23 points on a tidy 9-of-18 shooting, also chipping in 8 rebounds to go with 2 steals.
Harris has been a pivotal part of the Pistons’ rotation in 2025-26, pouring in 13.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game during the regular season on 46.9% shooting. He’s upped those averages to 19.8 and 7.6, respectively, in the first round of the playoffs.
Fortunately for the Pistons, they may have dodged a bullet here. Harris was reportedly a full participant in Friday’s shootaround, which could be a positive indicator.
As Harris’ status continues to be monitored, you can make picks on his PrizePicks projections if he does play. Popular Tobias Harris picks include 16.5 Points, 6 Rebounds, 25.5 Pts + Rebs + Asts, and more.
What Players to Target on PrizePicks if Harris Is Out?
Harris hasn’t been publicly cleared to play, but signs seem to be pointing to him giving it a go in Game 6. If things change, however, how could the Pistons’ lineup be impacted?
It’s clear that Harris has a positive impact on Detroit. During the regular season, per databallr, the club performed 2.7 points per 100 possessions better with him on the floor. That number is -9.4 in the NBA Playoffs, albeit in just a 62-minute sample.
Where could the production go if Harris sits out? The first place to look is superstar PG Cade Cunningham. On a per-75 basis, he scores 4.3 more points without his PF in the lineup. Don’t forget about big man Isaiah Stewart, however. He had a staggering 8 blocks in Game 4 and sees a 3.8% jump in usage rate without Harris.
Lastly is wing Caris LeVert. Not only does he score 4.7 more points per 75 in Harris-less minutes, but his true shooting percentage skyrockets from 38.8% to 56.4% — a far more acceptable figure.
Here are the Pistons players who may benefit most on PrizePicks if Harris is out, as well as their stat projections for today.
- Cade Cunningham vs. Magic Projections: 29.5 Points / 6 Rebounds / 8.5 Assists (Goblin)
- Isaiah Stewart vs. Magic Projections: 5.5 Points / 3.5 Rebounds / 0.5 Dunks
- Caris LeVert vs. Magic Projections: 5.5 Points / 2.5 Rebounds / 5 FG Attempted
Considering the energy he brings to the floor, paired with his excellent defensive showing in Game 4, Stewart may be worth adding to your PrizePicks Lineup.
