Cunningham accumulated a team-high 25 points (8-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one block over 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-113 victory over the Celtics.

Cunningham has one double-double and two near misses through three games to begin the season, and he's scored more than 20 points in all three, with Sunday's 25 being his best total yet. The first overall pick in the 2021 Draft is coming off a career-best 2024-25 campaign, but Cunningham may not have reached his ceiling yet, and his supporting cast with thePistons continues to improve.

Thompson ended Sunday's 119-113 win over the Celtics with 21 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 36 minutes.

The third-year forward set early-season highs in points and boards in his first double-double of 2025-26. Thompson, the fifth overall pick in the 2023 Draft, could be poised to break out this season, and he's showing some surprising distribution skills so far, averaging 4.7 assists along with 17.0 points, 7.7 boards and 1.3 steals in 31.0 minutes through three games.

Duren had 24 points (6-12 FG, 12-13 FT), 18 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-113 win over the Celtics.

The fourth-year center managed only 12 boards through thePistons' first two games combined, but Duren flashed his upside on the glass in his first double-double of 2025-26. The 24 points were also an early season high, although his night was cut short Friday when he picked up a Flagrant 2 foul and was ejected after just 12 minutes. Duren has averaged a double-double in each of the last two seasons, but Detroit is counting on the 21-year-old to take a step forward now that he's gained more strength and experience.

Sasser (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Sasser will miss his third straight contest due to a right hip issue he suffered in the preseason. Ronald Holland and Duncan Robinson will continue to see a boost in minutes with Sasser and Caris LeVert ruled out. Sasser's next chance to play this season will be Monday night against the Cavaliers.

LeVert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

LeVert will miss his second straight game due to a hamstring injury. Ronald Holland, Duncan Robinson and Javonte Green should receive an uptick in usage in LeVert's absence. His next chance to suit up will be Monday night against the Cavaliers.

Sasser (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Sasser is expected to miss his third consecutive contest to start the season due to a right hip issue. With the 25-year-old guard and Caris LeVert (hamstring) both likely to join Jaden Ivey (knee) on the sideline, Chaz Lanier and Daniss Jenkins are candidates for a bump in minutes.

LeVert (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

LeVert is trending toward missing a second straight game due to a hamstring injury. If he's ruled out Sunday, Ronald Holland, Duncan Robinson and Javonte Green will likely see a boost in minutes.

Thompson totaled 19 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 115-111 win over Houston.

Thompson was limited to just 24 minutes due to early foul trouble, but still managed to deliver a full stat line. Early signs are good for Thompson, coming off a season in which he was eased into things following some health concerns. Anyone who managed to grab him in drafts has to be thrilled with his efforts thus far. Look for him to continue his strong start when thePistons host the Celtics on Sunday.

Robinson produced 17 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 38 minutes during Friday's 115-111 win over the Rockets.

After a first-up dud, Robinson got back to doing what he does best, landing four triples en route to 17 points. Jaden Ivey continues to deal with a knee injury, allowing Robinson to get his feet wet as a member of the starting lineup. Robinson is worth considering as a three-point streamer, at least until Ivey is back in the fold.

Reed had 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 19 minutes during Friday's 115-111 win over Houston.

Reed saw meaningful minutes Friday, filling the void after Jalen Duren was ejected. In what was somewhat of a surprise, it was Reed who got the nod over Isaiah Stewart, falling one rebound short of a double-double. Despite his per-minute upside, Reed is unlikely to feature on a nightly basis, although he is worth keeping an eye on, just in case Duren is suspended.

Cunningham delivered 21 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and a block across 39 minutes in Friday's 115-111 win over the Rockets.

Cunningham finished just one assist away from opening the season with back-to-back 20-point double-doubles. The star floor general is making his presence felt as the engine that keeps thePistons' offense flowing. If there's one area in which he could improve, that's his three-point shooting -- he's made only four of his 14 attempts from beyond the arc so far.

Duren was ejected from Friday's game after collecting a flagrant 2 foul for elbowing Amen Thompson in the face.

Duren appeared to pull Thompson's arm as he went to move past him and caught him with his elbow while running to the hoop, so it'll be interesting to see if he faces further disciplinary action from the league. He'll end his evening with six points (3-4 FG), six rebounds, one steal, one block and one turnover in 12 minutes, and if he needs to miss more games, Isaiah Stewart will be the primary beneficiary.

LeVert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Houston.

LeVert is dealing with tightness in his hamstring, so thePistons will exercise some caution here and hold him out, which should open up minutes for Ronald Holland, Duncan Robinson and Javonte Green. With Detroit's next two games coming as a Sunday-Monday, back-to-back set, there's a chance LeVert will need to spend at least one more game on the sidelines.

Sasser (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Sasser will miss a second straight game due to a hip issue. Ronald Holland and Duncan Robinson will likely continue to see a boost in minutes.

LeVert (hamstring) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.

LeVert was initially listed as probable with knee soreness, but he's now dealing with a different ailment. It's unclear if he perhaps experienced a setback during Friday's morning shootaround. If the veteran swingman is ultimately unable to go, Ronald Holland would have even more streaming appeal against Houston.

Sasser (hip) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Sasser appears on track to miss the first two matchups of the 2025-26 campaign while dealing with a right hip impingement. Ronald Holland and Duncan Robinson should continue to see a slight uptick in opportunities until Sasser is cleared to return.
