The Detroit Pistons are on a mission. Riding a five-game postseason winning streak, they head to Cleveland for a pivotal Game 3 against the Cavaliers on Saturday, looking to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. It's been a long time coming—the Pistons haven't reached the conference finals since 2008, and with the way they're playing, this could be their moment.

At the heart of Detroit's surge is Cade Cunningham, who has been nothing short of spectacular in the first two games. If he can keep up that level of play, the Pistons will have a serious shot at sweeping the Cavaliers on their home court. But Cleveland isn't going down without a fight. The Cavs are undefeated at Rocket Arena this postseason (4-0), and they'll be desperate to protect their home floor.

Donovan Mitchell has been doing his part, averaging 27 points in the series so far. The real concern for Cleveland is James Harden. The former MVP and veteran guard has struggled mightily, averaging just 17 points while committing more turnovers than made field goals. If Harden can't find his rhythm, the Cavaliers' hopes of climbing back into this series will take a serious hit.

Game 3 tips off at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday, airing on NBC and Peacock. The series schedule is set, with Game 4 back in Cleveland on Monday, May 11, at 8 p.m. ET. If necessary, Game 5 would return to Detroit on Wednesday, May 13, followed by potential Games 6 and 7.
