The Pistons entered Game 4 down 2-1 to the Knicks, who won Game 3 to reclaim home-court advantage in the best-of-seven series. Cunningham, playing in his first postseason, came into Game 4 averaging 26.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists in the series.

Michael Wilbon believes that Cade Cunningham is the best player in the Pistons-Knicks series, not Jalen Brunson.

The Detroit Pistons will be without center Isaiah Stewart for a third straight game because of a knee injury and the New York Knicks say center Mitchell Robinson is available to play in Game 4
