Box score

Game notes: The Pistons are looking to stop a six-game losing streak and will be doing so without one of their best players, Cade Cunningham. Not only has the 2021 No. 1 overall pick missed the past five games, he is likely to miss multiple weeks and could need surgery. Expect to see more offense from Jaden Ivey, Bogan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks. Saddiq Bey will be out for the Pistons, too.

The Kings have topped 120 points in six of their last seven, with their only loss in that stretch a 116-113 defeat to the Golden State Warriors. De'Aaron Fox leads the team in points per game (24.8) assists (6.4) and steals (1.2) while Domantas Sabonis is also playing like an All-Star (17.7 points, 10.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists).

Up next for the Kings: the Memphis Grizzlies, missing star Ja Morant, on Tuesday. The Pistons, on their yearly trip out West, go from three games in California to Colorado for a meeting with another offensive juggernaut, the Nuggets on Tuesday. They stay on the road until Nov. 27.
