The Detroit Pistons welcome Steph Curry, Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors to Little Caesars Arena for their annual visit. What was a David versus Goliath situation for almost a decade suddenly looks much more like an even duel. These are no longer the perennial NBA Finals-bound Warriors, nor do they appear to be the same pushover Pistons hoping that lightning will strike and they can steal a win from one of the NBA’s best.

The Warriors enter tonight with a record of 18-18, having lost 15 of their last 21 games. The Pistons are now one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Yes, they’ve played some tough games, and yes, these teams have been missing some key players, but eight wins in nine games isn’t exactly lucky.

Given the progress Cade Cunningham has made, this is also an opportunity to see how capable he is of keeping up with a megastar like Curry. He has defeated Anthony Edwards, Kevin Durant, De’Aaron Fox and LeBron James in this series of games. Let’s see what he can do to keep up with Curry.
