Through his first four games in the NBA, he is averaging 16.0 points and 5.5 assists per contest.
In 2021, the Pistons drafted Cade Cunningham out of Oklahoma State with the first overall pick, so they have a lot of potential in their backcourt.

Bojan Bogdanovic has led the team in scoring averaging a very solid 20.8 points per contest.
The veteran sharpshooter was acquired from the Utah Jazz right before the season.
As for the Hawks, they enter the game with a 2-1 record in their first three contests.
They won their first two games over the Magic and Houston Rockets, but lost their most recent game against the Charlotte Hornets.
