Detroit Pistons

East Central · 2026–27 season

The story so far

Pistons fans spent the opening week gloating that the supposedly worst offseason built the deepest team in the East, with Cade Cunningham leading an undefeated start. The Knicks loss turned that swagger into worry about having only one shot creator, leaving fans as uneasy winners at 5-1.
