Doesn't play vs. Washington
Cunningham wasn't announced in the starting lineup for this contest, with Daniss Jenkins taking his place, but the star guard didn't even step on the hardwood. This was likely a precautionary move to manage Cunningham's workload before the start of the regular season, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about his absence. His next chance to play in the preseason will come Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Close to double-double Saturday
Reed was one of five Detroit players -- and one of three starters -- to score in double digits, and he finished second in both rebounds and steals. Reed made the most of the absence of Jalen Duren (rest), but when the latter is healthy, Reed will operate as his backup off the bench, limiting his fantasy upside considerably.

Starting Saturday
The Pistons won't start Cade Cunningham in Saturday's preseason contest, meaning Jenkins will get the nod at point guard. The former St. John's standout is expected to operate as Cunningham's backup as long as he stays healthy, so he'll get the chance to run with the first-team offense in this game. He averaged 9.3 points and 3.9 assists per game across 72 contests (19 starts) in the 2025-26 regular season.
