Scores 12 points off bench
Huerter finished Thursday's 113-108 win over the Timberwolves with 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes.
Analysis
Huerter regularly plays off the bench when Duncan Robinson is available, but the former has been a reliable option even if his minutes rarely go over 25. Huerter has scored in double digits in four of his last five games, and he's drained multiple threes four times over that stretch in which he's averaging 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 44.4 percent from deep.

Coming off bench Tuesday
Huerter isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
Huerter drew the start Monday with Detroit sitting multiple key starters, but he'll retreat to the bench for the second half of the team's back-to-back. The Maryland product has scored in double figures in two of his previous four matchups as a reserve.

Returning to first unit
Huerter is starting Monday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis

Not starting Saturday
Huerter is not in the Pistons' starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Analysis
Huerter made his first start of the season for the Pistons in Thursday's 129-108 win over the Pelicans, when he played 34 minutes and finished with 22 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers. He'll retreat to a bench role for Saturday's contest due to the return of Duncan Robinson (hip).
