What we know about Sunday’s games:
The Pistons put another in the win column, with a 114-110 win over the Cavaliers this afternoon. The game was billed as a battle of the star guards, and it didn’t disappoint, with Cade Cunningham pouring in 27 points, to go with 6 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Donovan Mitchell delivered 30. The unsung hero for Detroit, though, was Daniss Jenkins, who added 25 points off the bench on 6-for-7 3-point shooting.
Injuries haven’t been kind to Denver this season, with Nikola Jokić (knee) and Jonas Valančiūnas (calf) the most recent Nuggets to hit the sidelines. However, this afternoon in their matinee matchup with the Nets, we’ll see the returns of Christian Braun (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) from long layoffs, which should be a boost to Denver’s depth as they await the return of the aforementioned.
Oklahoma City has notched 30 wins in its first 35 games for the second straight season. They’ll be trying to extend their dominance with a victory over Phoenix, who have won five of their last six.
