As was the case for most of the regular season, Hardaway provided points and three-pointers, and not much else. That said, this was an encouraging performance, given how he ended the regular season. In Detroit’s final three games, Hardaway totaled 19 points on 7-of-21 shooting. With the defensive attention the Knicks have devoted to Cade Cunningham, there will be opportunities for Hardaway to put up points playing off the ball. He and the Pistons will look to even the series when they face the Knicks in Game 2 on Monday.

Stewart has been dealing with right knee inflammation for a while now, including Saturday’s loss to the Knicks in the series opener. While “Beef Stew” played for 19 minutes, he appeared to struggle with his movements and was not as impactful as he could have been. If Stewart cannot play on Monday, Paul Reed would likely move into the rotation; however, he is not as impactful, especially defensively.

As was the case for most of the regular season, Beasley provided solid production off the bench in Game 1. And after shooting 14-of-25 from three in two games against the Bucks to end the regular season, he carried that form over into Saturday’s matchup. Beasley shot 6-of-12 from three in Game 1 while also providing solid value in rebounds, steals and blocks. In four regular-season meetings with the Knicks, he shot 55.6 percent from three with an average of 3.8 makes and 15.8 points. Based on those numbers and his showing on Saturday, Beasley will have value in this series. Game 2 is on Monday night.

Cunningham recorded a double-double in his playoff debut, but this was far from a smooth performance for the Pistons’ point guard. Guarded by OG Anunoby for most of Game 1, Cade shot under 50 percent from the field and committed six turnovers. Also, he and the Pistons appeared powerless to stop what would become a 21-0 Knicks run to open the fourth quarter. Now that Cunningham has a taste of the postseason, he’ll look to rebound on Monday when the Pistons and Knicks meet again in Game 2.

In addition to the victory, the good news for the Celtics on Sunday was that Brown’s right knee did not appear to give him any trouble. The time off, with the Celtics’ guard having missed the team’s final three regular-season games, appeared to do Brown some good health-wise. He didn’t have the best afternoon from a scoring standpoint. Still, the improved production offered by Derrick White and Payton Pritchard helped the reigning champs compensate for their three primary scorers having lackluster days. Game 2 is on Wednesday.

It appears to be all systems go for Brown. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla told reporters the 28-year-old small forward had a good week of practice without limitations. Brown missed multiple games towards the end of the regular season and even received pain management injections due to knee pain. Nevertheless, he appears to be full-go for the playoffs.
