Detroit has been one of the league’s most surprising teams this season. They are currently the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference. Following five straight seasons missing the playoffs, the Pistons look well on their way to making it this season. Detroit’s offense has been middling this season. They are 12th in points scored, 11th in field goal percentage, and 15th in three-point performance. Cunningham’s performance has kept Detroit’s offense going this season.
Detroit’s defense has also been mediocre this season. They are 15th in points allowed, 14th in opposing field goal percentage, and 27th in opposing three-point percentage. Center Jalen Duren has also been a crucial piece of the team this season. He is 12th in the league in rebounds and third in field goal percentage.
Final Thoughts
Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons return to the court on Saturday when they visit the Golden State Warriors. Cunningham has been great this season as the Pistons have been one of the league’s most shocking squads. If the star point guard can keep it up, the Pistons could pull off an upset in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
