Deandre Ayton remains out for the Suns tomorrow against the Mavericks due to that right ankle sprain. No new additions to Phoenix’s injury report. – 6:06 PM Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Suns list Deandre Ayton (right ankle sprain) as out for tomorrow’s game against Dallas. Reggie Bullock (right knee soreness) and Maxi Kleber (left knee soreness) are questionable for the Mavs – 6:05 PM Detroit Pistons PR @Pistons_PR
Cade Cunningham (525 pts, 187 rebs, 179 asts, 73 3FGM) is 1 of 4 NBA players ever with at least 500 pts, 150 rebs, 150 asts, 50 3FGM in 34 career games. He joins former ROY winners Allen Iverson, Luka Doncic & LaMelo Ball as the only players to do so. #Pistons
(via @Basketball-Reference) – 5:30 PM Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
The Pistons say Luka Garza (health and safety protocols), Jerami Grant (health and safety protocols), Frank Jackson (reconditioning) and Isaiah Livers (foot) are out for tonight’s game against the Kings. Killian Hayes (hip) is doubtful. Kelly Olynyk (knee) is probable. – 5:00 PM Eric Woodyard @E_Woodyard

It’s been 30 years since the last postseason victory in Detroit and we tell the story of that win over the Dallas Cowboys from those who were there. espn.com/blog/detroit-l… – 4:59 PM Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
The nature of this season means basic questions like “what’s the best starting five?” that remain unanswered at the halfway mark, but since December, the Raptors have shown a lot of what they can be at their best with Siakam and VanVleet leading the way:

#Pistons Kelly Olynyk is upgraded to probable for tonight at #Kings. Killian Hayes (hip) is doubtful.
Jerami Grant and Luka Garza (with the Cruise) are in health and safety protocols. – 4:30 PM Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
