4 years agoDetroit Pistons shooting guard Rodney McGruder (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Rockets due to a sprained right elbow. McGruder's absence will mark his second in a row in light of making his first start of the year Monday. After being on the sidelines for most of the season, McGruder has averaged 12 points across 21.5 minutes per contest during March. With the Pistons having wholesale changes to their rotations as of late, he could be viewed as an upside DFS choice when cleared. For now, Frank Jackson and Josh Jackson stand to benefit from his absence. McGruder's next opportunity to get into action comes Sunday against Chicago.--Jesse Borek
