Blocks two shots in 22 minutes
Stewart chipped in four points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two blocks across 22 minutes during Thursday's 108-105 victory over Phoenix.
Analysis
Stewart wasn't all that involved in the offense in his return from a one-game absence, but he still came through with the defensive stats. Stewart ranks second in total blocks (72) this season, so he's worth rostering in most fantasy leagues as a shot-blocking specialist.

Ruled out Saturday
Stewart (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis
Stewart was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness and will miss his first game since Nov. 12. With the 24-year-old big man joining Jalen Duren (ankle) and Tobias Harris (hip) on the sidelines, plenty of minutes will be available for Paul Reed, Ronald Holland and Javonte Green, while Isaac Jones and Tolu Smith are candidates to enter the rotation. Stewart's next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Suns.

Downgraded to questionable
Stewart is now questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers due to an illness.
Analysis
Stewart is a late addition to the injury report, as he woke up Saturday feeling under the weather. The big man has stepped into a larger role due to the absences of Tobias Harris (hip) and Jalen Duren (ankle), so if Stewart can't play Saturday, the Pistons would have to lean heavily on Paul Reed, Ronald Holland and Tolu Smith in the frontcourt. Per Jacob Richman of Mlive.com, Stewart wasn't at Saturday morning's shootaround.
