Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons take on Lauri Markkanen and the Utah Jazz on Thursday for the first time this season.
The Detroit Pistons (11-16) are coming off one of their biggest wins of the season led by Cade Cunningham. The fourth playmaker is having a breakout season across the board.

Cunningham has been dynamic, stuffing the statsheet with 13 double-doubles and six triple-doubles. His consistency as a playmaker and scorer has been huge for Detroit. This season Cunningham has scored 20 or more points in 19 of his 23 games in this breakout season.
