Is Duncan Robinson playing in Game 6 tonight vs. Cavaliers?
Sharpshooter Duncan Robinson missed Game 5. Can he help the Pistons stave off elimination tonight?
The Detroit Pistons could be getting a key offensive piece back in Game 6 as they face elimination. Duncan Robinson, who missed the Game 5 loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers, is a game-time decision tonight with a back injury. The sharpshooter was able to participate in shootaround ahead of Game 6, though, so it's possible he makes his way back into the lineup.
Detroit sorely missed Robinson's 3-point shooting in Game 5, as starters not named Cade Cunningham went only 3 of 15 from deep. Robinson averaged 12. 2 points and shot 41% from 3 during the regular season.
The Cavaliers have won three straight against the top-seeded Pistons after falling into an 0-2 hole on the road. Donovan Mitchell has been superb, and his heroics in overtime of Game 5 got Detroit to the brink of elimination. Robinson's return will breathe fresh life into the Pistons' hope of advancing, though it certainly will be daunting regardless of his status.
