Cade Cunningham might have missed the 65-game threshold. But most importantly, he did join the team in the final stages after suffering from a collapsed lung. Thankfully, with no injury concerns at this time, Cunningham is expected to play against the Orlando Magic. Doubling his joy further, the Pistons’ star also got the news that the NBA has made his name eligible for the season awards. 

Now, coming to their stylistic matchups, both teams are quite physical in their approach. This means the game will be somewhat low-scoring, as there won’t be any 50+ three-pointers. But looking at the numbers, the Magic looks to be lagging behind Detroit. The Pistons, as it turns out, have the 3rd best overall shooting percentage this year. 

On the contrary, Orlando is 21st. But one cannot underestimate Magic at all. Playing against the Charlotte Hornets, while Magic fans had some weird moments, Orlando put their heads down and delivered a masterclass. Blowing off the Hornets with a 121-90 victory, the Magic will not let the Pistons easily walk away with a victory.
