Cory Joseph missed Monday’s game due to a bout with bronchitis. One probably wouldn’t have guessed that, judging by his performance Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks.

As the season has progressed, Detroit Pistons rookie forward Saddiq Bey has reached major 3-point shooting milestones with increasing frequency. On March 30, he tied Damian Lillard as the third-fastest player in NBA history to hit 100 3-pointers. Bey and Lillard did so in 44 games. (The record-holder, Lauri Markkanen, needed 41.) On April 6,
