Cade Cunningham - Productive in loss to PhillyCunningham contributed 21 points (5-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 129-111 loss to the 76ers.
ImpactThe third-year guard is showing signs of improving his efficiency. Cunningham has scored 20 or points in three straight games and nine of the last 12, and his 44.0 percent shooting from the floor and 35.2 percent mark from three-point range are both steps forward from his season and career numbers. He's averaging 22.7 points, 7.3 assists, 4.4 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.1 steals over that 12-game stretch, but it's likely the first overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft has yet to reach his ceiling.

Bojan Bogdanovic - Erupts for 33 in lossBogdanovic ended Wednesday's 129-111 loss to the 76ers with 33 points (11-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes.
ImpactThe veteran forward produced his best offensive effort since making his season debut at the beginning of December, but Cade Cunningham was the only other Piston to score more than 10 points. Bogdanovic has drained at least three three-pointers in four of five games since his return, and he's also been surprisingly active defensively, recording at least one steal in all five contests.

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Solid off bench WednesdayOubre recorded 17 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 23 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 129-111 victory over Detroit.
ImpactIt's the 28-year-old forward's best effort in four games since his return to the lineup after recovering from fractured ribs. Oubre had just moved into the starting lineup back in November prior to being struck by a car, and with Nicolas Batum doing little since joining the Sixers, it's possible he'll regain that assignment once he's fully back up to speed.
