Pistons Aim to Extend Winning Streak Against Hawks
Updated March 25, 2026, 1:21 p.m. ET
The Detroit Pistons, fresh off a victory against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, March 23, look to continue their winning streak as they host the Atlanta Hawks at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday. The Pistons defeated the Lakers 113-110, ending Los Angeles’ nine-game winning streak.[1]
The Hawks are coming off an 11-game winning streak that was snapped by the Houston Rockets on March 20.[2] This recent success has positioned them favorably for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference and a potential second-round playoff matchup.
Impact of Cade Cunningham’s Injury
The Pistons will be without All-Star point guard Cade Cunningham, who is sidelined due to a collapsed lung.[2] Daniss Jenkins, a former two-way player, will continue to start at point guard in his absence. Jenkins recently had a career performance against the Lakers, scoring 30 points, eight assists, and four rebounds.[1, 2]
Detroit is also missing standout backup Isaiah Stewart (calf injury) and Marcus Sasser.[4] Despite these absences, Jalen Duren has been dominant, averaging 23.2 points on 66.5% shooting with 10.9 rebounds in 17 games since returning from a two-game suspension.[2]
Hawks Injury Report
Atlanta’s Jalen Johnson is questionable for Wednesday’s game with left shoulder inflammation.[4] Asa Newell is doubtful, and Gabe Vincent is listed as out.[4]
