As the Pistons prepare for this crucial game, they will be relying on their star player, Cade Cunningham, to lead them to victory. Cunningham, a talented guard, has been consistently performing at a high level in the previous three games.

His offensive prowess and playmaking abilities make him a key player to watch in this upcoming game.


Joining Cunningham on the court will be his teammates Marcus Sasser and Isaiah Stewart. Sasser, a guard known for his defensive skills, has been a reliable presence on the court for the Pistons. In the previous three games, he has contributed with steals and rebounds, showcasing his versatility as a player. On the other hand, Stewart, a forward known for his rebounding abilities, has been dominant under the basket. With multiple double-digit rebounding performances in recent games, Stewart's presence will be crucial in securing second-chance opportunities for the Pistons.
