Pistons vs. Sixers GameThread: Game Time, TV, Odds, and More
Your top source for Detroit Pistons news, rumors, analysis, stats, and scores from a fan's perspective. The Pistons enter tonight’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers holding the best record in the Eastern Conference, the highest since the Flip Saunders era.
Detroit has been performing impressively, fueled by Jalen Duren's rise as a strong presence and Cade Cunningham's clutch plays in the fourth quarter. However, the Pistons’ schedule has been relatively easy so far; they have defeated only one team with a winning record—the Houston Rockets. Their other six wins were against teams with losing records, and their two losses came from the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Tonight’s matchup against the Sixers will be a significant test for Detroit's true standing.
