Cade’s two-way impact on display early
23-21 Pistons with 3:03 to go in the first quarter on Peacock.
Ronald Holland II leads Detroit with 9 points, but Cade Cunningham (3 pts, 2 reb, 2 ast) turned in this fabulous sequence earlier.
Powerful swat.
Perfect release. https://t.co/sED0qnm8Aq pic.twitter.com/c1Gmz3cG3L

Two of the league’s best teams go at it
Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs are in Detroit to take on the Pistons tonight in a clash of two of the league’s top teams.
When: 7 ET
Where to Watch: Peacock
The Detroit Pistons (42-13) are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, boasting the NBA’s second-best net rating (+8.5) and second-best defensive rating (108.3). They’re delivering typical Detroit basketball — hard-nosed, tough, physical — featuring the skill of a talented playmaker.
Taking on the legacy of stars like Dave Bing and Isiah Thomas, Cade Cunningham (25.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 9.8 ast, 46.3 FG%) has become one of the league’s top offensive engines. He’s first in the league in total assists, 15th in points per game and eighth in fourth quarter scoring.
He’s also a stalwart, physical defender, holding opposing shooters to 42.9 FG%.
Following their leader, the Pistons get after it — they’re tied for second in fast break points (18.4) and second in points in the paint (57.1), imposing their will with energy and strength. They also lead the league in blocks (6.3) and steals (10.6) per game.
The San Antonio Spurs (40-16) are No. 2 in the Western Conference, standing at fourth in net rating (+6.6) and third in defensive rating (110.7).
Victor Wembanyama (24.3 ppg, 11.2 reb, 2.7 blk) is the latest brilliant center for the Spurs. He has the best personal defensive rating in the NBA (102.3), as well as the best defensive rebounding percentage (33.6), exerting control in the paint.
Wemby put up 16 points and 12 rebounds in his only game against the Pistons, on Jan. 10, 2024. He faces fellow All-Star Jalen Duren tonight in a clash of two of the league’s top bigs.
Cunningham, who put up 25 points and 12 assists in his only career matchup against the Spurs on Feb. 21, 2025, will battle the stalwart Stephon Castle.
Which of these top teams will come out victorious tonight?
