Detroit will start Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Troy Brown Jr., Tosan Evuomwan and Jalen Duren against Boston on Friday.
With Stanley Umude out for the rest of the season, Brown Jr. moves into the starting unit to replace him. This is his first start since being traded to Detroit, and he hasn’t seen many minutes with his new team. However, he had some productive games with the Timberwolves earlier this season and could have a solid night in this game.
