Description: Detroit point guard Jose Calderon recorded the highest three-point percentage in the league this season (46.1 percent).

Description: Pistons guard Jose Calderon is questionable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland with a strained right triceps.
Insight: Calderon played through the injury Saturday in Minnesota but he just didn't look like himself (six points, four assists in 27 minutes) and it's possible that he could be shut down for the remainder of the season. Rodney Stuckey (11.3 ppg, 7.1 apg) will get the start at point guard if Calderon doesn't play.

Description: Pistons guard Jose Calderon is probable for Monday's game against Toronto with a sore right arm.

Description: Detroit point guard Jose Calderon dished out 16 assists Wednesday in a loss to the Knicks.
Insight: You'd think that Calderon's numbers would be much improved now that he's out of Kyle Lowry's shadow and the Pistons are essentially his team. In reality, his stats in Detroit (11.9 ppg, 7.7 apg) are about the same as they were in Toronto (11.1 ppg, 7.4 apg). That's disappointing but Calderon is still plenty valuable in fantasy thanks to his consistently high assist totals.

Description: Jose Calderon is set to make his Pistons debut Monday against the Knicks.
Insight: Calderon's debut was delayed because of visa issues. He hasn't played in a week and it's going to take a little time for him to adjust to his new surroundings.

Description: New Pistons point guard Jose Calderon will join the team Friday but might not play. SOURCE: Keith Langlois, Pistons.com
Insight: Calderon was acquired from Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye as part of the Rudy Gay trade between Memphis and Toronto. Langlois speculates that Calderon might not play since Detroit is coming off a back-to-back Tuesday and Wednesday and is unlikely to practice Thursday. It's a long shot that the Pistons will throw Calderon into the fire without any practice time with his new teammates.
