HERE WE GO: Here is Pistons' plan for Cade Cunningham in debut vs. Magic

PISTONS STOCK WATCH: This team might have a new best player

Game notes: Finally. Cade Cunningham will make his NBA debut after being sidelined for a month with an ankle sprain. He's expected to play 20-25 minutes, coach Dwane Casey said pregame. The Pistons are desperate for his playmaking and shooting — their 25.8% 3-point percentage is by far worst in the NBA. ... Like the Pistons, Orlando is early in its rebuild and has one of the league's youngest rosters, including 2021 first-round draft pick Franz Wagner out of Michigan, and his older brother, Moritz Wagner. The Magic lost to Toronto, 110-109, on Friday night. Cole Anthony scored 24 and No. 5 pick Jalen Suggs scored 21, as the two starting guards combined to shoot 9-for-14 on 3s.
