D.J. Augustin could have an expanded role starting Sunday if Brandon Jennings' leg injury holds him out for any period of time.

Augustin could have an expanded role starting Sunday if Brandon Jennings' leg injury holds him out for any period of time.

Analysis:

Augustin's per-36 minutes stats this season are: 14.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.2 three-pointers on 39 percent shooting from the field and 83 percent from the free-throw line. If the Pistons don't add another point guard, they could run Augustin ragged, but coach Stan Van Gundy usually limits his starting point guard to under 32 minutes per game, meaning the averages above should be considered a better-than-best-case scenario.
