Greg Monroe: (Knee) Out Tuesday, Expected Back Wednesday

Monroe (knee) is not playing Tuesday, but he is expected to return to action Wednesday against the Sixers, the Pistons' official site reports.

Analysis:

This is great news for fantasy players. A one-game absence is manageable. Not knowing whether a player is going to be available going forward is stressful. Anthony Tolliver is making a spot start in Monroe's place Tuesday. Monroe underwent an MRI that alleviated many of the concerns the Pistons had regarding the severity of his strained knee, and it seems his absence is merely precautionary at this point.
