Detroit has its backs against the wall yet again. After falling behind 3-1 to Orlando in the first round, Detroit rattled off three straight wins to claim the series, so the Pistons are familiar with this spot. Cade Cunningham scored a personal series-high 39 points in Game 5, which was needed since Detroit was without Duncan Robinson and received minimal help from its role players. The Pistons have three players on the injury report ahead of Game 6 compared to zero for the Cavaliers.
