The Detroit Pistons ended a three-game losing streak with a convincing win over the depleted Orlando Magic on the night Nikola Vucevic learned he’d made the All-Star team. Tonight the Pistons face a struggling New Orleans team with an aim to slow All-Star big man Zion Williamson. Detroit beat the Pelicans 10 days ago, and
Omari Sankofa II | Detroit Free Press Saben Lee is a rookie on a two-way contract. But with the Detroit Pistons depleted at point guard due to injuries, Lee has stepped up and manned the position like a veteran this week. Sunday’s loss to the Orlando Magic marked Lee’s first time in the rotation since Feb.
The end seems closer than ever for Blake Griffin but what happens between now and then is still very much an open question. The Detroit Pistons are, once again, not a very good team. They have the worst record in the Eastern Conference and in spite of Jerami Grant putting up big numbers and Mason
The Detroit Pistons and New Orleans Pelicans will meet for the second and final time of the season this week. It’s a game that means nothing in the scheme of things, really. The Pistons are one of the worst teams in the league, and another loss is just another lottery combination. The Pelicans are a

Rod Beard | The Detroit News It was the same two teams, but it wasn’t even close to the same result.
