Overview

  • Cunningham is listed as questionable with a right wrist contusion and was absent from the morning shootaround, pointing to a game-time decision.
  • Tobias Harris (left hip sprain) and Jalen Duren (right ankle sprain) are out, and Isaiah Stewart is questionable with an illness.
  • The Pistons are 28-9 atop the East and have won three straight, including a 108-93 win over the Bulls without Cunningham as Stewart scored a career-high 31.
  • Los Angeles is 8-2 over its last 10 despite a 14-23 record and is on the second night of a back-to-back after a 121-105 win in Brooklyn.
  • Detroit’s rotation has leaned on Jaden Ivey and Daniss Jenkins in Cunningham’s absence, with Jenkins posting a career-high 15 assists in the Bulls win.
