Your go-to source for Detroit Pistons news, rumors, analysis, stats, and scores from a fan’s perspective.
Game Overview
The Detroit Pistons enter tonight’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers holding the best record in the Eastern Conference. This is the deepest point in the season they've maintained the No. 1 seed since the Flip Saunders era. The Pistons have been performing strongly, led by Jalen Duren’s breakthrough and Cade Cunningham’s clutch efforts in the fourth quarter.
However, the Pistons’ schedule has been relatively easy so far. They have only beaten one team with a winning record—the Houston Rockets. Their other six victories came against teams with sub-.500 records, and they have two losses against the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers.
This matchup against the Sixers will provide valuable insight into the true standing of Detroit this season.
