Kevin Huerter, the 27-year-old wing for the Detroit Pistons, is listed as doubtful for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals due to a left adductor strain. He played in the first four games of the postseason before going down with the injury. Despite the downgrade in early status, coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Huerter is taking steps toward a return. Huerter became a big help down the stretch of the regular season after being acquired ahead of the trade deadline. In 25 regular-season games with the Pistons, Huerter averaged 8.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals. Beyond a threat to shoot from range and space out the floor, the 27-year-old is a very capable defender and possesses the length and build to operate in the paint if needed. The over/under for Thursday night’s Game 2 between the Pistons and the Cavaliers is set at 216.5 on DraftKings. Our comprehensive DraftKings Sportsbook review provides an in-depth guide on how to navigate through their app. After playing a lot of positionless basketball with the Chicago Bulls before his trade, Huerter was able to bring a diverse skillset to the roster. Even as the Pistons continue getting positive results without Huerter, they’ll hope for his return in the near future.
