The Pistons starting lineup is almost like a Broadway show or a high-level theatrical performance, where fans have to wait and see who will be playing the leading role: the star or the understudy.

It was going to be tough for the Detroit Pistons early this season, with five of their first six games against teams that either made the playoffs last season or were picked to make the playoffs this season. They’ve also played five of their six games without the 2021 No. 1 overall pick, Cade Cunningham.
