Lead by newly instated head coach

With 2:33 remaining in the third term of last Sunday’s contest with the Los Angeles Lakers, Bojan Bogdanovic found himself in a familiar position. The Detroit Pistons forward was guarded chest-to-chest above the three-point line by the opponent’s most reliable defender. This time it was Lakers veteran Patrick Beverly.

When bad teams get together, good basketball rarely follows. But fun basketball? Ohhhh yeah, there’s fun basketball. That’s what made Tuesday’s game between the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets so good.

The Hornets then lost Cody Martin in October, Gordon Hayward is out indefinitely after a November shoulder fracture, LaMelo Ball missed the

The troubles started before the season even started with assault charges and disturbing photos released by his wife featuring injuries after an alleged attack. The Hornets then lost Cody Martin in October, Gordon Hayward is out indefinitely after a November shoulder fracture, LaMelo Ball missed the

The bloom sort of feels off the rose on these alleged marquee matchups. Simply put, the Milwaukee Bucks are a lot better than the Golden State Warriors at this point.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham has decided to have season-ending surgery on his ailing left shin, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The former No. 1 overall pick has missed Detroit’s past 17 games as he tried to rest and strengthen the shin, but after consultation with several doctors in recent weeks decided the best

Bojan Bogdanovic couldn’t have picked a better time to score a season-high 38 points and sink six three-pointers.

Jalen Duren got his first start of the season…and it didn’t really make a difference. Just like the last game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Pistons got off to a slow start in the 1st. Killian Hayes had 2 fouls less than 2 minutes into the game and nobody could make any shots They had

Former Purdue Boilermaker and No. 5 overall pick Jaden Ivey has been everything the Detroit Pistons could have hoped for through the first 23 games of his rookie season. The 6-foot-4 guard is averaging 15.5 points per game, good for 3rd amongst all rookies behind only No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero and Indiana Pacers

It was the second night of a

The Pistons will play their second game in as many nights while the well rested Pelicans will play their first game since a convincing 121-106 victory over the Denver Nuggets

Whenever Tyler Herro faces the Detroit Pistons, he looks like more like a superhero. The Miami Heat guard has grown from savvy scorer to elite bench scorer into one of the best backcourt scorers, period, in the NBA. His production is always amplified when Heat star Jimmy Butler is out, as he was Tuesday against

The Detroit Pistons are playing a struggling Miami Heat team today, but there are two more games on the NBA schedule and they are both slated for TNT.
