He has been active in Detroit sports journalism since 2011 previously working with Bleacher Report, 1130 WDFN, and Detroit Sports Nation.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Detroit Pistons</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Not even a five-day break could slow down the momentum of the Detroit Pistons.</p><p>Playing their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/detroit-pistons/cade-cunningham-reveals-why-win-over-bucks-is-the-best-kind-for-pistons">first regular-season game since December 6</a>, the Pistons finished the night with a 142-115 win over the Atlanta Hawks. It marks the team’s third straight victory, with a 20-5 record, and they remain in first place in the Eastern Conference.</p><p>The Pistons maintained control of the game courtesy of a balanced team attack on both ends of the floor. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff was able to play everyone on the roster because of the commanding lead. No player on Detroit’s roster had to play more than 25 minutes. Bickerstaff spoke on the most impactful difference for the Pistons <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxEW1Yr_6lU" rel="noopener">during the media postgame</a> on the way to their home victory.</p><p>“I think our bench came in and gave us a great lift to start the game. When we put that unit in to close out the first quarter and to start the second, I thought they did a really good job of being sound defensively, getting stops, and then finding their opportunities in transition to come up with some easy ones,” Bickerstaff stated. “I think we did a great job of being physical in executing our system. That led to our offense for us to score 142.”</p><p>Detroit led by as many as 35 points in the Friday night matchup against Atlanta. Eight different Pistons managed to score in double figures. Their fast-paced identity showed up as the Pistons put up 30 fast-break points and 72 points in the paint. Atlanta kept the game close in the first quarter, but slipped into a double-digit deficit by the second quarter.</p><p>Sharing the ball produced a huge advantage as well as the team had 34 assists. Their ball movement aided their efficient shooting night as the Pistons shot 58% from the field and 41% from 3-point range. Bickerstaff was impressed with the offensive effort by his team throughout the contest.</p><p>“We’ve got a ton of athletes and a ton of guys who are skilled in the open court. That’s one of the things that we want to do every single night,” Bickerstaff said. “I thought tonight we did a great job of rebounding the basketball, especially the long ones, which helped us get out in a break. But we got stops, and we got stops when we needed them.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/detroit-pistons/pistons-news-is-tobias-harris-playing-tonight-pistons-vs-bucks-injury-report">Detroit has battled through injuries</a> since the start of the 2025-26 season. This is one of the first times they had everybody healthy, and each player made an impact in the win. Every player on the Pistons was able to score and contribute to the team. The Pistons were in sync defensively for a good majority of the game. Atlanta turned the ball over 20 times and gave up 16 steals to Detroit.</p><p>Backup center Isaiah Stewart led the Pistons in scoring with 17 points off the bench. Guards Cade Cunningham and Duncan Robinson each added 15 points in their starter roles. Center Jalen Duren pitched in 14 points during his 24 minutes. Forwards Ausar Thompson and Ron Holland both put up 12 points. Guards Caris LeVert and Jaden Ivey scored 10 points for Detroit as well.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While Detroit has blown away expectations so far, with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/detroit-pistons/cade-cunningham-reveals-why-win-over-bucks-is-the-best-kind-for-pistons">Cade Cunningham leading the charge</a>, some have wondered if the team might go all in on a win-now move to further legitimize their contention aspirations.</p><p>Recently, NBA insider Brett Siegel reported on whether or not the Pistons <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/6-trades-based-on-latest-nba-rumors-giannis-antetokounmpo-anthony-davis-ja-morant" rel="noopener">may have interest</a> in Dallas Mavericks big man<a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/6583/anthony-davis" rel="noopener"> Anthony Davis.</a></p><p>“To this point, the Detroit Pistons have held no conversations with the Dallas Mavericks about a possible Anthony Davis trade, league sources told ClutchPoints. However, Davis continues to be linked to the Pistons by fans and league personnel as their ultimate star trade target before this year’s trade deadline for obvious reasons,” reported Siegel.</p><p>“As of right now, the Pistons have yet to signal that they are willing to go all-in on pursuing a superstar, like Davis, who could hit the trade market. All indications are that Detroit will keep its youth and continue to develop what it believes can be a contending force for many years to come,” he added.</p><p>Trade rumors surrounding Anthony Davis ran wild in the aftermath of the Mavericks following the firing of Nico Harrison, but up to this point, nothing has materialized on that front.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Pistons have an elite big man of their own in Jalen Duren, who could be headed for his first All-Star team in a couple of months, as well as a host of solid complementary bigs, including Isaiah Stewart.</p><p>Still, if Davis became available for the right price, it’d be a hard deal for the Pistons to turn down as they try to give Cade Cunningham the best supporting cast possible.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Detroit had seven different scorers contribute double-figure points in their victorious effort, as they remain in first place in the Eastern Conference at 19-5. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/detroit-pistons/pistons-star-cade-cunningham-all-star-honor-proves-rebuild-paying-off">All-Star point guard Cade Cunningham</a> explained why he believes wins like these are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOosyOK8wBE" rel="noopener">so valuable</a> for the Pistons.</p><p>“These are the best [wins] where we move the ball around, and everybody gets a piece of the action. Everybody just played a great brand of basketball. We had a lot of turnovers in the first half; we cut that down in the second half. That was the change in the game for us,” Cunningham explained to the media.</p><p>“These are the fun ones, [when] everybody gets in on it. Everybody can score the ball. We have a lot of depth, so it’s easy for guys to put the ball in the rim, it’s just about us following the game plan and getting each other shots.”</p><p>Detroit led by as many as 27 points against its division rival opponents. They managed to share the ball efficiently on offense with 31 assists on 43 made field goals. Milwaukee ran a zone defensively against Detroit, and they still managed to find holes to take advantage. Their ball movement helped add to their quality shooting night as they shot 50 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from 3-point range.</p><p>The Pistons faced the Bucks this past Wednesday with similar circumstances. Milwaukee drew up its zone defense again to limit Detroit’s paint production. The Pistons found a way to correct the mistakes made from the previous game by attacking the gaps of the defense and moving fluently with and without the ball.</p><p>Cunningham led with another double-double, finishing with 23 points and 11 assists. He took care of the ball effectively by only turning the ball over only three times.</p><p>Forward Isaiah Stewart started for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/detroit-pistons/pistons-news-is-tobias-harris-playing-tonight-pistons-vs-bucks-injury-report">injured veteran Tobias Harris</a>, who was dealing with an ankle injury. Stewart picked up the slack offensively for the Pistons by scoring 19 points in 25 minutes. Center Jalen Duren continued his impressive breakout play with a double-double of his own, scoring 16 points and grabbing 16 rebounds.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Jaden-Ivey.jpg"><figcaption>Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p> </p><h2>Jaden Ivey continues slow progression</h2><p>The Pistons continue to slowly work shooting guard Jaden Ivey back into their rotation. He remains on a 15-minute playing restriction and is finding ways to stay productive in his role off the bench.</p><p>Ivey has been one of the most prominent scorers for the Pistons over the past several seasons, but is not immediately pressing to try and get back in that groove. He finished against the Bucks with 10 points off the bench with five rebounds. Ivey has remained patient with his offensive attacking and is playing within the flow of the team more. Pistons’ head coach <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxdC6TPYA_4" rel="noopener">J.B. Bickerstaff shared his views</a> on the adaptation of the first-round shooting guard.</p><p>“It’s continued growth. I can’t say it enough, but what he’s doing is difficult. To go 11 months without playing an NBA game and then coming back and having to play at NBA speed in the middle of the season is just not easy. But again, he’s a guy who’s embraced the challenge,” Bickerstaff explained.</p><p>“He’s going out there and competing with his teammates. His teammates love having him out there…The minute restriction isn’t easy on him; trying to play in small doses, trying to catch a rhythm and find a rhythm. But I think he’s doing a great job of it. He made big shots in the fourth quarter to help us stretch that lead out. You see the confidence coming back in all his abilities.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Others will extol JB Bickerstaff for pushing the franchise through the remaining stages of its rebuild and into the top-half of the Eastern Conference last season. Malik Beasley’s 2024-25 resurgence certainly made a difference, too. Though, it is all too easy to overlook <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/detroit-pistons/pistons-news-tobias-harris-leadership-elevated-expectations-2025-26">Tobias Harris’ valuable contributions</a>.</p><p>The veteran forward arrived in the Motor City with little fan fare surrounding him. He received a decent amount of blame for the Philadelphia 76ers’ shortcomings and was no longer regarded as a core player. He has fit nicely in Detroit, however, boosting the squad with his veteran leadership and overall efficient offense. Injuries have prevented him from fully experiencing the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/detroit-pistons/pistons-continue-historic-achievements-defeating-pacers">Pistons’ historic start</a> to the season, but he remains a key component of this team.</p><p>Ergo, it is important that Harris stays on the floor and continues to build chemistry with this teammates. The 33-year-old is on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. Will he play tonight?</p><p><i><b>*Watch NBA games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2><b>Tobias Harris’ injury status for Pistons-Bucks battle</b></h2><p>Harris <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-12-06_04PM.pdf" rel="noopener">is listed questionable</a> with a left ankle sprain. He missed three weeks in November because of a right ankle sprain, so this issue is obviously worth monitoring.

Detroit has the depth to prevail in this home matchup.</p><p>Again, though, the Pistons (18-5) will probably need a healthy and productive Tobias Harris at some point this season. He is averaging 14.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from 3-point range.</p><p>Fans will have to wait a little longer to find out if Harris is going to suit up against the Bucks (10-14).

Stewart left his mark on the 122-116 win with four blocks, which marks his fifth game of the season with at least four blocks. Pistons’ head coach J.B. Bickerstaff was not shy about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACDRjataKkE" rel="noopener">expressing his admiration</a> for Stewart’s value to the team. He offered a heavy endorsement for Detroit’s defensive anchor during the postgame media session.</p><p>“He’s the best defensive center in the league, and it’s not close. I think it’s time for everybody who watches basketball to recognize it,” Bickerstaff stated. “It’s not just something that we see here in Detroit, he’s the best defensive big in the game.”</p><p>Detroit is currently the fourth-best team in NBA defensive ratings, and Stewart is a major reason behind that. The Pistons’ backup big man is averaging a career-high 2.1 blocks in 22 minutes per game this season. Stewart’s impact goes beyond numbers as his production has helped build the foundation of this team. His defensive focus and versatility have been important factors for the Pistons all season. Stewart’s teammates are recognizing and <a href="https://x.com/omarisankofa/status/1997162100284690849" rel="noopener">appreciative of those efforts as well</a>.</p><p>“I think he’s the best defensive player in the league. I would love to see him get a Defensive Player of the Year award, because he deserves it,” Cade Cunningham said to the media. “I see opponents’ best defenders all the time. I’m thankful I don’t have to see Stew every night. He’s just different; he does it all. He can guard a quick, shifty point guard; he can go guard a bruising big man. He can do it all, and he’s going to meet everybody at the rim.”</p><h2><b>Foul-heavy battle between Pistons, Blazers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Foul-heavy-battle-with-the-Blazers-image.jpg"><figcaption>Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Pistons have embraced the physical contests against their opponents all year and it reached a new high against the Blazers. The officials called 64 personal fouls between both teams. Portland was whistled for 35 fouls and Detroit received 29 of their own.</p><p>The constant whistle changed the pace of the game constantly. The Pistons connected on 36-of-48 free throw attempts and the Blazers connected on 32-of-35 of their attempts. Bickerstaff spoke on how the guys were able to battle and persevere on the way to their 18th victory.</p><p>“That’s growth for us, right? Things were happening out of our control, and instead of reacting to it, we went out and did the job. I give our guys a ton of credit for that because it wasn’t easy,” Bickerstaff said. “[Fouls were] frustrating. Last year, I think that would have rattled us. But this year, you’ve seen the maturation of our group. They were able to help handle it well, stay calm and then go out and execute.”</p><p>The Blazers had three different players foul out in the fourth quarter. The Pistons were hampered by foul trouble early as six different players with at least two fouls in the first half.</p><p>Six different Pistons players also finished in double figures with scoring. Cunningham led the Pistons Friday night with 29 points and nine assists. Center Jalen Duren put up 18 points in 27 minutes. Bench forward Ron Holland had an impressive night with 17 points off the bench. Forward Ausar Thompson recorded 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting from the field. Guard Duncan Robinson returned from an ankle injury and scored 14 points.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After the game, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers told reporters he thinks the team has ruled out the worst-case scenario.</p><p>“Doc Rivers tells reporters that he thinks the Bucks have ruled out an Achilles injury for Giannis Antetokounmpo,” beat writer Eric Nehm relayed on X, easing the <a href="https://x.com/eric_nehm/status/1996427702933582110?s=20" rel="noopener">biggest fear</a> for everyone in Milwaukee.  </p><p>Even without their superstar, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-myles-turner-mercilessly-puts-isaiah-stewart-on-poster">the Bucks fought back</a>. Kevin Porter Jr. dropped 26 points and seven assists, Ryan Rollins added 22 points and eight dimes, and AJ Green buried five threes on his way to 19 points as Milwaukee erased an 18-point deficit in front of a nervous Fiserv Forum crowd via the ESPN Box Score. Jericho Sims chipped in a 15-point, 14-rebound double-double, while Bobby Portis delivered 13 second-half points.  </p><p>This is not Giannis Antetokounmpo’s first scare of the season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-news-giannis-antetokounmpo-exits-cavs-game-groin-injury">He already missed time with a left groin strain</a> and returned only recently, trying to steady a Bucks team that has stumbled out of the gate.  </p><p>All of this plays out against a wild backdrop. Earlier in the day, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-news-giannis-antetokounmpo-starts-talk-possible-trade">ESPN reported that Antetokounmpo and his agent</a>, Alex Saratsis, are discussing his long-term future with the Bucks. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-news-doc-rivers-over-giannis-antetokounmpo-trade-rumors">Rivers pushed back hard</a> on any idea that Giannis wants out, insisting pregame that there have been “no conversations” about a trade and that his star still loves Milwaukee.  </p><p>For now, the calf strain and the looming imaging will dictate everything. The Bucks escaped with a win and sidestepped an Achilles nightmare. How long they must live without Giannis Antetokounmpo is the next, much bigger question.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is averaging 9.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game in just over 22 minutes. But the former Washington Huskie brings more than depth to the Pistons’ lineup. Stewart brings a level of physicality and toughness that is not always matched by opponents.</p><p>Portis, however, on Wednesday night, was happy to oblige.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In the third quarter of Wednesday’s matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons, with Detroit up 64-58, Myles Turner sized up the floor at the 3-point line.</p><p>He put the ball on the deck, blew past Tobias Harris on a straight-line drive, and went straight through Isaiah Stewart at the rim, hammering home a dunk that instantly turned the Fiserv Forum crowd into a madhouse.</p><p>Stewart went up to contest. Turner went up to end the play. Only one of them won that collision. The poster came in the middle of a gritty night for the Bucks, who are trying to hang with the East-leading Pistons while navigating life without a fully healthy Giannis Antetokounmpo. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-news-giannis-exits-pistons-game-non-contact-injury">Antetokounmpo played only briefly before exiting</a> with a right calf strain, leaving even more pressure on the rest of the rotation to create something out of nothing.</p><p>Turner answered that call. The big man came up with 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 blocks in 20 minutes, shooting 2-of-5 from the field and 4-of-4 at the free throw line, while spacing the floor with a made three. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-milwaukee-myles-turner-scoring">His scoring line will not blow up the box score</a>, but that dunk felt like a momentum play straight out of a playoff reel.</p><p>Detroit still controlled most of the stat sheet, winning the battle on the glass and getting balanced scoring across the rotation as it carried an 85-78 lead into the fourth quarter.</p><p>No matter how this game ends, that dunk is going straight into the Bucks’ 2025-26 season highlight mix.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
