Duncan Robinson (14 pts, 4 3PM) was huge off the bench in his return after missing Game 5 with back soreness, and Paul Reed (17 pts on 7-9 FG, 6 reb, 1 blk) and Marcus Sasser (9 pts, game-best +27) fuel a tremendous showing for Detroit’s second unit.

Cade Cunningham (21 pts, 5 3PM, 8 ast) and Jalen Duren (15 pts, 11 reb, 3 blk) star in the victory, and Ausar Thompson’s (10 pts, 9 reb, 4 ast, 4 stl, 1 blk) presence was felt everywhere despite fouling out with 3:56 left in the contest.

James Harden leads Cleveland with 23 points (6-13 FG), 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, but he tallies a game-high 8 turnovers in 37 minutes. Donovan Mitchell finishes with 18 points on 6-for-20 shooting and a game-worst -25 plus-minus in 37 minutes.

MAY 15, 2026 / 7:53 ET

Detroit setting the tone

Cade Cunningham is up to 10 points on 4-for-8 shooting with two made 3s, adding 3 assists in 13 minutes to help his Pistons take a 38-27 lead with 9:26 left before halftime.

Detroit currently holds a 17-0 advantage in bench scoring, as Caris LeVert (6 pts) and Duncan Robinson (5 pts, 1 3PM) are delivering.

MAY 15, 2026 / 7:43 ET

Pistons climb back, grab 2-point lead

Detroit answers Cleveland’s 17-7 stretch with a 10-2 burst to close the opening period, and the Pistons take a 27-25 advantage going to the second quarter.

Caris LeVert (6 pts, 2 3PM), Cade Cunningham (5 pts, 2 ast) and Ausar Thompson (5 pts, 2 reb, 2 ast, 3 stl) are doing work for the East’s No. 1-seeded Pistons.

The Cavs’ star trio of Evan Mobley (7 pts, 3 reb, 1 blk), Donovan Mitchell (7 pts, 1 reb) and James Harden (7 pts, 2 stl) lead the way, as they’ve each knocked down one 3-pointer.

MAY 15, 2026 / 7:33 ET

MAY 15, 2026 / 7:26 ET

Harden enters top-10 all-time

James Harden passes Stephen Curry to move into 10th place on the NBA’s all-time playoff scoring list.

MAY 15, 2026 / 7:24 ET

Pistons-Cavs underway on Prime

Detroit and Cleveland are tied at 12 midway through the opening quarter on Prime Video!

Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson power the Pistons with 5 points apiece, while James Harden leads the Cavaliers with 5 points and 2 steals.

MAY 15, 2026 / 6:50 ET

Detroit Pistons:

  • PG – Cade Cunningham (26.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 8.4 apg, 1.4 spg)
  • SG – Daniss Jenkins (9.8 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 3.2 apg, 1.0 spg)
  • SF – Ausar Thompson (8.0 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 3.6 apg, 1.6 spg, 1.2 bpg)
  • PF – Tobias Harris (18.2 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 1.4 spg)
  • C – Jalen Duren (9.4 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 1.0 spg)

Duncan Robinson (lower back) will suit up for the Pistons tonight after missing Game 5, but he’ll be deployed in a sixth man role similar to how the Cavs’ Max Strus operates.

Keep an eye on Paul Reed after he played over Duren in the fourth quarter and overtime in Game 5. “B-ball Paul” has three straight outings with 10+ points on a combined 15-for-20 shooting.

Cleveland Cavaliers:

  • PG – James Harden (21.0 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 6.8 apg, 1.4 spg, 1.2 bpg)
  • SG – Donovan Mitchell (30.6 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 2.8 apg)
  • SF – Dean Wade (3.2 ppg, 4.0 rpg)
  • PF – Evan Mobley (14.4 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 5.2 apg, 1.4 spg, 3.0 bpg)
  • C – Jarrett Allen (13.4 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 1.6 bpg)

The Cavs like to use Wade in their first unit as the initial and primary defender on Cade Cunningham, similar to how the Orlando Magic guarded the MVP candidate with Franz Wagner before going out with injury in their first-round series.

Expect Max Strus (20 pts, 6 3PM) and Dennis Schröder (5 pts, 5 ast) to again play pivotal roles for Cleveland’s bench brigade following their impactful performances in Game 5.

MAY 15, 2026 / 6:15 ET

Tonight’s injury report

DET @ CLE — Kevin Huerter (adductor), Caris LeVert (heel) and Duncan Robinson (lower back) are all available to play for the Pistons.

SAS @ MIN — Terrence Shannon Jr. (head contusion) is questionable to suit up for the Timberwolves.
