The Detroit Pistons will spend the next few days deciding which experienced players they might send away at the trade deadline as they are once again well on their way to the May draft lottery with a legitimate chance to choose Victor Wembanyama. The Pistons had lost three of their previous four games coming into this contest.
Detroit lost to the Suns 116-100 at home on Saturday night. Bojan Bogdanovic scored the most points, with 23, followed by Saddiq Bey with 25 and Isaiah Stewart with 17 and 9 rebounds. The Pistons’ prospects were destroyed when Detroit let the Suns leave the court swiftly at the beginning of the game and at the opening of the second half.
This season, the Celtics are already 2-0 versus the Pistons, winning by an average margin of 12.5 points. In opposition to the Pistons’ shoddy defense, which ranks in the bottom half of almost all defensive statistics, Boston’s explosive offense should quickly get back on track. The Celtics’ defense has also improved significantly since Williams’ return, but overall, this should be a compelling contest to watch.
