One night, after a road battle against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Detroit Pistons will face the Boston Celtics for the second game of a back-to-back set.

Once again, the Pistons expect to be missing only two players.

As expected, second-year veteran Ausar Thompson has been ruled out as he works to be cleared to return by the NBA after being shut down late last season.

As for rookie second-rounder Bobi Klintman, his debut remains on hold. Although he managed to play in the Summer League and compete with the Pistons in training camp, Klintman suffered a setback just before the team began preseason preparation. Klintman missed the entire preseason and has yet to be cleared to make his regular-season debut.

Outside of these two, the Pistons are healthy everywhere for the game against the Celtics.

On Friday night, the Pistons rolled with the same lineup as their opening game against the Indiana Pacers. The trend will continue against Boston on Saturday night.

Against Cleveland on Friday, the Pistons got another great goal from starting guard Cade Cunningham. He scored 33 points in 35 minutes of action. Aside from a game-high nine turnovers on Friday, Cunningham had an impressive start to the year.

Cunningham’s defense partner, Jaden Ivey, also had quite an outing for himself. In 29 minutes, Ivey produced 22 points, five rebounds and three assists.

Against Boston, the Pistons will need help from their offseason veteran additions. After a 13-point debut from Tobias Harris, he followed it up with a 10-point performance against the Cavs on Friday. As for forward Tim Hardaway Jr, he has returned after struggling with his shot during the preseason. The Pistons will continue to look for ways to get him open looks.

The Pistons and Celtics tip off at 7:00 PM ET.
