Detroit Pistons prepare for 2026-27 NBA season

NBA Detroit Pistons Cade Cunningham Eastern Conference fantasy basketball

The Detroit Pistons enter the 2026-27 NBA season following a 60-22 campaign that secured them the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Point guard Cade Cunningham is positioned as the team's primary option, having averaged 23.9 points, 9.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game last season.

In fantasy basketball rankings, RotoWire has placed Cunningham fifth among the top 150 players. However, some analysts suggest Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was recently traded to the Miami Heat, should be ranked higher.

As the Pistons prepare for their season opener against the Boston Celtics on October 20, they face significant competition in the Eastern Conference. Key threats to their championship aspirations include the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks.
