Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Iffy for Game 5
Rotowire

Rotowire
Robinson notched 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and five steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-109 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Robinson was effective as usual on offense, leading the Pistons with four makes from beyond the arc while finishing as the team's third-leading scorer behind Cade Cunningham (27 points) and Tobias Harris (21 points). However, Robinson was also effective on the defensive side of the floor with five steals, the most in a game in his NBA career. The veteran sharpshooter is averaging 12.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.6 steals over 31.2 minutes per game in the postseason.

The 19 points and five threes were both postseason highs for Robinson, who's drilled at least one triple in eight straight contests. The veteran sharpshooter has averaged 11.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers per game in the 2026 playoffs, shooting 40.0 percent from beyond the arc.
Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Drops 14 points, adds four triples
Rotowire
Robinson recorded 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 93-79 victory over the Magic in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Robinson scored in double figures for the fourth time in the past five games, including a series-high four three-pointers. Despite trailing by as much as 24 points in the first half, the Pistons rallied to force a Game 7, which will take place in Detroit on Sunday. Although his production has been somewhat underwhelming, Robinson continues to provide the team with a viable floor-spacer, allowing players like Cade Cunningham to go to work inside.
Robinson amassed 10 points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 98-83 victory over the Magic in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Robinson didn't have the best shooting performance, but he was terrific on the other end of the floor. The Pistons have tightened up their rotation, with Javonte Green being the only reserve to eclipse 20 minutes Thursday.
