Cunningham provided seven points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and 14 assists across 22 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pacers.
Despite having very little to play for, Detroit opted to play the majority of its roster, including Cunningham, who still managed to hand out a team-high 14 assists. Having recently returned from a collapsed lung, it appears as though Cunningham is ready to go for the playoffs, having played 25.3 minutes per game in his past three appearances since getting back on the floor.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Muted role continues
Rotowire
Sasser ended Sunday's 133-121 victory over Indiana with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) over seven minutes.
With Cade Cunningham now seemingly fit and healthy, Sasser's brief run of relevance has come to an end. In fact, the ascension of Daniss Jenkins may have brought that to an end some time ago. In eight appearances over the past two weeks, Sasser has seen only 9.7 minutes per game, averaging 4.4 points and 1.1 three-pointers.

Pistons' Chaz Lanier: Barely visible in win
Rotowire
Lanier posted two points (1-1 FG) over six minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pacers.
Lanier once again played a limited role, having exceeded 16 minutes on only four occasions this season. Given he has seen the floor only 34 times thus far, it's safe to assume that he won't be a key piece for the Pistons heading into the playoffs.
Reed recorded 26 points (11-11 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks in 21 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pacers.
Reed put together a flawless performance Sunday, logging a game-high 26 points without missing a shot or committing a turnover. On top of an impressive offensive display, Reed was productive on the defensive end, sending back three shots and collecting three steals. With Detroit now entering the playoffs, Reed's role figures to decrease, but he enters the postseason in outstanding form.
With Jalen Duren (knee) out, Reed will get the starting nod in Detroit's regular-season finale. As a starter this season (10 games), the big man has averaged 14.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.8 steals across 27.5 minutes per contest.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Duren (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Pacers.
The Pistons are locked in as the top seed in the Eastern Conference, so Duren will get a little extra rest ahead of the postseason. The fourth-year big man enjoyed a career year in 2025-26, earning his first All-Star selection and averaging a career-high 19.5 points per game along with 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 steals over 28.2 minutes per contest. Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed should both see extended playing time Sunday in Duren's absence.
Robinson finished Friday's 118-100 win over the Hornets with 19 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes.
Even though the Pistons' offense was regularly flowing through Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren, it's safe to say Robinson took advantage of his touches to deliver another solid shooting performance. He has scored at least 19 points in three of his past five outings. This was also his fifth consecutive game with three or more three-pointers made, and his ability to stretch the floor is key for the Pistons' offensive scheme, even if that limits his upside in fantasy.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Fills stat sheet vs. Charlotte
Rotowire
Cunningham posted 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 118-100 win over the Hornets.
Cunningham logged a 13-point, 10-assist rebound across 26 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Bucks, and he posted another decent -- yet unspectacular by his standards -- stat line in the penultimate game of the regular season. Cunningham is simply aiming to get enough playing time under his belt with the playoffs right around the corner, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to produce the same elite numbers he was delivering earlier in the campaign as the regular-season finale against the struggling Pacers looms Sunday.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Nears double-double Friday
Rotowire
Duren had 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists over 22 minutes during Friday's 118-100 victory over the Hornets.
Duren ended just one rebound shy of recording what would've been an efficient double-double in 22 minutes, as he also missed just three of his 11 shots from the floor. Even though this was Duren's fourth straight without a double-double, the All-Star big man continues to produce on both ends of the court for a Pistons team that already locked up the No. 1 seed in the East. Duren is ending the season on a strong note. He has scored at least 20 points and/or has grabbed at least nine rebounds in five of his last six games since a one-game absence on March 30 versus the Thunder due to knee injury management.
Huerter (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Hornets, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Huerter missed Wednesday's 137-111 win over Milwaukee due to an illness. However, after being upgraded to probable for this contest, the 27-year-old is now officially ready to go. In three meetings with the Hornets this season, Huerter has averaged 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.7 steals while shooting 33.3 percent from the field and 15.4 percent from deep across 22.7 minutes of action.
