Impact Bey attempted only threes and was disjointed from the offense en route to a forgettable night. Additionally, Bey failed to salvage the outing with meaningful peripheral stats. He'll look to rebound Saturday against the Celtics.

Cade Cunningham - Ugly wins count Cunningham had 17 points (4-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Thursday's 106-103 victory over the Cavaliers.

Thursday marked Cunningham's 14th game this season with at least six rebounds and six assists. With Cleveland sans Caris LeVert (foot) and Darius Garland (back), by no means is it a signature win, but Detroit will look to carry the momentum into a showdown with the Celtics on Saturday.
