Limited to eight minutes
Reed ended Sunday's 125-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with four points (2-5 FG), four rebounds and one assist across eight minutes.
Analysis
Reed rarely saw big workloads for the Pistons and started just 11 regular-season games, but he was a very reliable reserve center. Across 65 regular-season contests, he shot 61.7 percent from the field for averages of 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.9 steals in 13.9 minutes per contest.

Another big game off bench
Reed ended with 17 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 16 minutes during Friday's 115-94 win over the Cavaliers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Analysis
Reed has been more active off the bench in the Pistons' last four games after being a non-factor for the majority of Detroit's postseason run. He has scored in double digits in each of his last four outings, averaging 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 blocks over 14.3 minutes during that span. Reed has supplanted Isaiah Stewart as the preferred big man off the bench behind starting center Jalen Duren.

Increased role in Game 5 loss
Reed logged 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Cavaliers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Analysis
Reed played the entire fourth quarter, as well as the overtime period, supplanting Jalen Duren, who once again struggled to have any sort of tangible impact. While Reed was able to provide the team with some much-needed energy, it was not enough as Detroit snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, falling to a 3-2 series deficit.
