The Phoenix Suns (24-16) visit the Detroit Pistons (28-10) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Thursday, January 15, at Little Caesars Arena.
The Pistons stake their dominant home record (15-4) when they host the Suns on Thursday. Recently, they suffered a tough 98-92 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, snapping a three-game winning streak. The Pistons struggled to generate offense without their primary playmakers, scoring only 92 points, their lowest output in weeks.
Detroit was without main star Cade Cunningham in that loss, as he missed the team's last two games due to a wrist injury. The good news is that Cunningham's name is now crossed out of the Pistons' injury report.
However, the Pistons will still miss the services of Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris.
As for the Suns, they've lost their last game after a three-game winning streak. Their most recent defeat was a 127-121 decision at the hands of the Miami Heat.
Three Suns players scored at least 20 points in the loss, including a team-high 25 from both Dillon Brooks and Grayson Allen. However, their defense allowed the Heat to make 52.2% of their shots.
The Suns will continue to miss the services of Jalen Green, with Devin Booker and Royce O'Neale currently listed as day-to-day.
