The Detroit Pistons will host the San Antonio Spurs at Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday as they look to continue their incredible season.

Detroit enters Tuesday’s game having won five of their last 10 matchups including defeating the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday despite being without their superstar point guard Cade Cunningham.

They will now look to pick up another victory on Tuesday against a Spurs team that has won three consecutive games and five of their last 10 contests.

Of course, the headliner for Tuesday’s game is the availability of Cunningham for the Pistons and they made a key announcement ahead of the matchup.

Detroit has listed Cunningham as questionable for their game against San Antonio due to a calf injury that kept him out of Saturday’s victory over New Orleans.

If Cunningham is sidelined once again, it would be a major blow to the Pistons as he has had a breakout season thus far that has made him the frontrunner to win the NBA’s Most Improved Player award.

Cunningham is not the only Pistons player who could miss Tuesday’s game as Detroit has also listed Tim Hardaway Jr. as questionable with an ankle injury that caused him to miss Saturday’s victory.

If Cunningham and Hardaway Jr. are sidelined once again on Tuesday, expect Dennis Schroder and Malik Beasley to once again fill in for them in the starting lineup and Marcus Sasser and Ron Holland II should also see an increased role.

For the Spurs, they may also be without one of their young star players as they have listed Stephon Castle as questionable due to right knee hypertension.

With the Spurs’ season basically already over, it is likely that they will sit Castle for Tuesday’s game.

Of course, the Spurs are already without their star duo of Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox who are both out for the rest of the season.

Fans can catch Tuesday’s matchup between the Spurs and Pistons at 7:00 p.m. EST.
