The Detroit Pistons might get Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart back, with both being game time decision, according to head coach JB Bickerstaff. Does anything else really matter? Other things of note, I suppose, is that the Bucks have given up on everything resembling dignity, per their injury report and their head coach’s musing about how much he misses spending time with his grandchildren. The point spread is at Pistons -20.5. Feels like it might be an undercount unless Detroit is completely unserious.
To be more precise, Cade, Kevin Huerter, and Isaiah Stewart are all listed as questionable. But ESPN’s Vince Goodwill has sources that indicate Cunningham is likely to give it a go. If Cade plays the rest of the season, he will be at 64 games. That would be one short of the threshold for awards consideration. Could Cunningham explore a special exception, similar to what Luka Doncic and his agents have floated recently?
The Milwaukee report is far more bleak and definitive. Giannis Antetokounmpo is out. Kyle Kuzma is out. Kevin Porter Jr. is out. Bobby Portis is out. Myles Turner is out. Hope is out.
