How To Watch, Game Notes, Quick Facts, Injury Report: Detroit Pistons at Dallas Mavericks

The Pistons will look to snap a four-game losing streak in Dallas tonight.

How To Watch

At 31-23, the Mavericks are currently 5th in the West and obviously have one of the best overall players in the league in Luka Doncic. Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr. are both hurt, yet Doncic is still leading the Mavs to wins. He's going to be a lot for the Pistons to handle especially if Cade Cunningham can't go for the fourth game in a row.

Probable Starters

As you can see, Cunningham is not listed as a probably starter tonight as he's still recovering from a hip pointer. Expect head coach Dwane Casey to address Cunningham's status later tonight during pre-game media availability.

Reserve wing Josh Jackson remains out and Cunningham is listed as questionable as he has been ever since injuring his hip. 

Game Notes

Hamidou Diallo is averaging 1.2 steals per game and routinely shakes things up on defense whether he's staring or coming in off the bench. That is a testament to his positioning and also to his length and activity. He brought a lot of hustle and energy to the floor as he filled in for Jerami Grant.

Detroit's third-place rank in bench scoring is also impressive and should actually improve as Kelly Olynyk continues to get up to full strength.
