Caris LeVert Iffy for Monday Night

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (heel) is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has popped up on the injury report with a right heel contusion. LeVert logged 17 minutes off the bench in Game 3 and made his biggest impact defensively, snagging four steals. Generally, he has not played a significant role for the Pistons this postseason, averaging 3.0 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game. If LeVert can't go and Kevin Huerter (adductor) remains out, Daniss Jenkins and Javonte Green will lead the bench unit. It's also possible that Ron Holland II will get more run-outs.

Kevin Huerter Listed as Questionable for Game 4

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (adductor) is questionable for Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. The 27-year-old has previously carried a doubtful tag on the injury report, so this should be seen as a positive development. Yet it's still unclear whether Huerter will be ready to play. Caris LeVert (heel) has also been added to the injury report, which could further increase Daniss Jenkins' workload. On Monday, Jenkins will look to rebound from a poor Game 3 performance. Injuries to the bench unit also force Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff to rely more on his starters.

Tobias Harris Extends 20-Point Streak in Saturday's Loss

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris recorded 21 points and five rebounds in 38 minutes during Saturday's 116-109 Game 3 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 15th-year veteran briefly put Detroit ahead 101-100 with a three-pointer at the 4:57 mark, only for Cleveland to close on a 16-8 run and snap the Pistons' five-game playoff win streak. Harris finished 7-for-14 from the field, 2-for-3 from three-point range, and a perfect 5-for-5 at the line. He has now scored 20 or more in eight consecutive playoff games after averaging just 13.3 points during the regular season, a contract-year leap that's kept Detroit ahead 2-1 in the series with Game 4 in Cleveland on Monday.

Duncan Robinson Shines on Both Ends Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson produced a great all-around performance in Saturday's 116-109 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He finished with 15 points, three rebounds, four assists, five steals, and one block. Robinson remained hot from downtown, going 4-for-7, and finished 5-for-9 overall from the field. With three games played, Robinson has already made 14 triples in this series. Recently, he has also become a defensive pest, snagging 3.25 steals per game over his last four appearances. This two-way version of Robinson is a high-impact performer and should continue to see heavy minutes against Cleveland.

Cade Cunningham Records Second Career Postseason Triple-Double

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham led his team in scoring (27), rebounding (10), and assists (10) in Saturday's Game 3 defeat against the Cleveland Cavaliers, recording his second career postseason triple-double. He almost had an unwanted quadruple-double, finishing with eight turnovers. Cunningham committed several costly turnovers late in the game. Handling the ball has been an issue for Cunningham throughout these playoffs, as he has recorded fewer than four turnovers just once in 10 outings. Against Cleveland, the Pistons' superstar has also faced some scoring difficulties. He was only 10-for-27 from the field in Saturday's defeat, going 2-for-6 from downtown. The 2026 playoffs have gone well for Cunningham, but he could be an even bigger threat on the court with improved efficiency and ball-handling.

Kevin Huerter Likely to Remain Out Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (adductor) will likely miss a sixth consecutive game on Saturday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, as the team has listed him as doubtful on the injury report. Huerter was knocked out of the lineup during the first-round series against Orlando by a left adductor strain. Initially, the Pistons gave Caris LeVert an expanded role off the bench due to Huerter's absence, but Daniss Jenkins has been the main beneficiary in recent games. Across the last three contests, Jenkinks has posted 14.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in 28.0 minutes per game.

Tobias Harris Stays Hot in Game 2 Victory

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris recorded 21 points, seven rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 37 minutes during Thursday's 107-97 Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 33-year-old shot 9-for-16 from the field, including 2-for-3 from three and 1-for-2 at the line, finishing as Detroit's second-leading scorer behind Cade Cunningham. Cunningham led all scorers with 25 points and 10 assists, including 12 in the fourth quarter to put the game away, while Duncan Robinson added 17 points on 5-for-9 from deep. The top-seeded Pistons have now won five straight games and lead the second-round series 2-0, with Game 3 set for Saturday in Cleveland.

Cade Cunningham Pushes Pistons to 2-0 Series Lead

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham had 25 points, three rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and two blocks in Thursday's 107-97 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former No. 1 overall pick shot 7-for-14 from the field, 3-for-6 from three-point range, and 8-for-8 at the free-throw line across 42 minutes. Cunningham did his best work late, scoring 12 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter as Detroit took a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Tobias Harris added 21 points, while Duncan Robinson made five threes. Cunningham will look to keep control of the series when Game 3 shifts to Cleveland on Saturday.

Kevin Huerter Remains Out Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (adductor) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team has downgraded Huerter from doubtful to out, resulting in his fifth consecutive absence due to a left adductor strain. With Huerter unavailable, Daniss Jenkins has started to log big minutes off the Pistons' bench. He made an all-around impact in Game 1 against the Cavaliers, recording 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and four steals.

Kevin Huerter is Doubtful for Game 2 on Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Kevin Huerter (adductor) is currently considered doubtful ahead of Thursday's Game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Huerter remains uncertain to play after already missing four straight games due to a lingering adductor injury. Daniss Jenkins, Javonte Green, and Duncan Robinson have all seen increased roles with Huerter on the sideline. The expectation is that it will continue to happen unless Huerter gets upgraded before tip-off on Thursday night. Cade Cunningham and Tobias Harris should continue to do the heavy lifting on offense.

Cade Cunningham Posts 23 Points in Game 1 Win

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham scored a team-high 23 points in Tuesday's 111-101 Game 1 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. This was his lowest-scoring postseason game of the year, as Cunningham was limited to 6-for-19 from the field. He went 2-for-5 from beyond the arc and 9-for-11 at the line. In 42 minutes on the floor, Cunningham also contributed three rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. The Pistons' superstar has shouldered a heavy workload in the playoffs. As a result, he could face a few more tough nights scoring. Across eight appearances, Cunningham has averaged 40.6 minutes, posting 31.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.0 steals per game.

Jalen Duren Records Second Consecutive Double-Double

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren bagged an 11-point, 12-rebound double-double as the team opened the second-round series with an 111-101 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. Duren had a pivotal role in the final five minutes after Cleveland had tied the game at 93. The first-year All-Star scored six points in the closing stages. Duren's night in a tough matchup against Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley also included four rebounds and two blocks. He went 4-for-11 from the field and 3-for-4 at the charity stripe. Initially, Duren struggled in the playoffs, but he has now started to show the form that earned him his first All-Star selection.

Kevin Huerter Remains Out for Series Opener

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (adductor) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against Cleveland, marking his fourth straight absence with a left adductor strain. His next chance to return comes Thursday in Game 2. Huerter's absence keeps Detroit's bench wing minutes open, with Daniss Jenkins the cleaner DFS angle after producing 16 points, four three-pointers, three rebounds, five assists, and one block in 29 minutes against Orlando. Javonte Green may also see spot minutes, but Cade Cunningham and Tobias Harris should continue driving usage.

Kevin Huerter is Questionable for Tuesday's Contest

Detroit Pistons guard Kevin Huerter (groin) holds a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's Game 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Huerter missed the final three games of the first-round series against the Orlando Magic. He continues to deal with a lingering groin injury that could impact his availability for the beginning of this series. Daniss Jenkins and Javonte Green would likely continue to see more playing time if Huerter is unavailable on Tuesday. His absence has impacted Cade Cunningham the most, with him playing nearly 40 minutes during Sunday's victory over Orlando.

Jalen Duren Posts 15-15 Line in Game 7 Win

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren recorded 15 points, 15 rebounds, and three assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's Game 7 win over Orlando. He shot 5-for-9 from the field and anchored the interior, delivering his first double-double of the series at the right time. Duren had an up-and-down series, but this game was a reminder of how impactful he can be on the glass. With Cade Cunningham running the offense and Tobias Harris handling much of the scoring, Duren's role stays centered on rebounding and protecting the paint as Detroit heads into a tougher matchup with Cleveland's frontcourt.

Tobias Harris Stays Hot with 30 Points in Win

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris recorded 30 points, nine rebounds, two assists, one block, and three steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's Game 7 win over Orlando. He shot 11-for-18 from the field and 5-for-7 from three, delivering his most efficient outing of the series while staying active defensively. Harris has now scored at least 20 points in five straight games, cementing his role as a secondary scorer. Cade Cunningham drives the offense, while Jalen Duren adds interior production, but Harris' scoring punch gives Detroit another reliable option entering the Cleveland matchup.

Cade Cunningham Shines as Pistons Advance to Semifinals

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham finished with 32 points, one rebound, 12 assists, and two blocks in 39 minutes during Sunday's Game 7 win over Orlando, pushing Detroit into the next round. He controlled the offense throughout, pairing efficient scoring with high-level playmaking in a decisive closeout. Cunningham's usage and versatility remain the foundation of Detroit's attack, giving him elite DFS appeal moving forward. Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren also delivered strong supporting lines, but Cleveland's defense will likely key on Cunningham as the primary engine in the next series.

Kevin Huerter is Out for Game 7

Detroit Pistons guard Kevin Huerter (groin) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's Game 7 against the Orlando Magic. He came into the contest as questionable, but ultimately won't be able to play due to a strained left adductor. His absence from the rotation should free up playing time for Duncan Robinson, Daniss Jenkins, and Caris LeVert. Among the three, Robinson is the only viable DFS option heading into this game. The Pistons will need to lean on Cade Cunningham to do the heavy lifting on offense in this elimination contest.

Kevin Huerter Uncertain for Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (adductor) could be sidelined for a third consecutive game on Sunday against the Orlando Magic, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Huerter sustained a left adductor strain earlier in the series and has been questionable on a couple of occasions before being ruled out. Before the injury, Huerter scored just six points in the first four games of the first-round series. The rest of the second unit hasn't been productive either, leaving the starting group to shoulder a heavy workload.

Cade Cunningham Carries Pistons to Decisive Game 7

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham recorded 32 points, 10 rebounds, four steals, three assists, and one block in 42 minutes during Friday's Game 6 win over Orlando, forcing a Game 7. He took over after a slow first half, carrying the offense with a dominant second-half surge and steady production at the line. Cunningham has topped 25 points in every game this series, maintaining elite usage. Tobias Harris and Ausar Thompson chipped in around him, but Detroit continues to lean on Cunningham to create most of the offense, keeping him firmly in play as a top DFS option.
