The Detroit Pistons are back home after going 0-4 on their western road trip, and welcome the fast-pace Sacramento Kings to Little Caesars Arena.

The Pistons for the first game this season will be without Cade Cunningham, who suffered a knee strain during Sunday's game in Denver, a 131-114 loss. That puts them in an even bigger hole, having lost 32 of their past 33 games after starting the season 2-1.

The Kings, fifth in the Western Conference standings, were blown out Sunday at home by New Orleans, 133-100. Leading scorer De'Aaron Fox (28.3 points per game this season) was limited to 1-for-10 shooting for three points in 26 minutes.
