Dennis Schröder

Dennis Schroder tallied 18 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in 30 minutes in Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the Knicks.

Schroder’s play on both ends of the floor is one reason why the Pistons have been highly competitive in their first postseason appearance since 2019. After scoring eight points in Game 1, he totaled 38 in Games 2 and 3, making plays on and off the ball. Also, Schroder has done a good job of defending Jalen Brunson when his name has been called, even if the Knicks point guard made some big plays down the stretch on Thursday. Schroder and the Pistons will look to even the series on Sunday when they host Game 4.
