The Pistons are now without three starters as injuries take their toll on the top team in the Eastern Conference.

Reggie Miller believes that the Pistons' Cade Cunningham should be near the top of the NBA MVP conversation. The Detroit Pistons have been in a stellar vein of form ever since the season started, perched at the top of the Eastern Conference with a 27-9 record. And the biggest reason for their current position is none other than Cade Cunningham.

Don't look now, but the Jayson Tatum-less Boston Celtics are the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference standings.

Cade Cunningham tuvo 29 puntos y 13 asistencias y los Pistons de Detroit vencieron el lunes 121-90 a los Knicks de Nueva York.

It's not official yet, but Nikola Jokić is almost certainly not going to make the 65-game threshold to qualify for NBA MVP honors. Jokić hadn't missed a single game this season until he hyperextended his knee on Dec. 29, and that injury is expected to keep him out through at least the end of January.

Rarely has Cunningham needed to prove he can put together a strong-bounce back game. The Pistons (27-9) enter Wednesday’s home game against the Chicago Bulls (17-19) with the Eastern Conference’s best record largely because of Cunningham’s play and leadership.

Always by Cade Cunningham is longtime NBA veteran Jarrett Jack. Before he was helping Cunningham, he was by Steph Curry's side.

Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham named three Los Angeles Lakers in his all-time starting five, including LeBron James.
