After the Pistons’ 14-win season, Cade Cunningham had FOMO watching the playoffs. He texted someone he knew would understand.
I spoke with them both for an exclusive on how that text sparked Detroit’s two-year turnaround:

Isaiah Joe (right hip contusion) and Ebuka Okorie (G League) both remain out for the Pistons’ matchup against the Heat tomorrow.
Just an elite performance from the Pistons.

What in the world was that last possession from the Wizards? No way on earth they chose not to call a timeout just to do that.
Big shot from George. He gives the Wizards a 118-117 lead with 31.5 left in the game.
Let’s see what J.B. draws up.

Cade’s up to 28 points on 9/13 and 9/10 from the FT line with 9 assists and no turnovers.
It’s shaping up to be one of those games for him.
Duncan was 0/4 from 3 in the first half and just hit back-to-back triples to start the third.

Daniss Jenkins over his last two games:
26.5 points, 6 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals on 49/48/100 shooting splits.
He’s got a team-high 8 points on 3/4 from the field at the end of the first quarter tonight.
Huerter checked in and has 5 points and a steal in 2mins of action so far. He continues to look solid for the Pistons off the bench.
