With their season still on the line, the Detroit Pistons travel to Orlando for a Game 6 matchup against the Magic in this Eastern Conference first-round series.
The Pistons avoided elimination on their home floor with a Game 5 victory on Wednesday, mostly thanks to Cade Cunningham setting the franchise's single-game playoff scoring record with 45 points. However, Detroit needed it to combat Paolo Banchero's own 45-point outburst.
But to force a Game 7, the Pistons will have to win on the road for the first time in this series against a team that has only lost at home once over the past three postseasons. And both teams are dealing with injuries, as Franz Wagner will not play Game 6 due to a calf injury, and Tobias Harris is currently a game-time decision with an ankle injury.
Follow along here for live updates from Detroit News contributor Kameron Goodwill.
