The Detroit Pistons have lost 10 in a row, and if they can’t pull out a victory tonight against the similarly pathetic New Orleans Pelicans then I’m not sure where their next win is going to come from. The Pistons’ next five games will be against the Brooklyn Nets, road gams against the Chicago Bulls
The streak has to end sometime, right? The Detroit Pistons, coming off a pair of disappointing losses that extended their losing streak to 10 games, will look to break out against another bottom-feeder — the New Orleans Pelicans.

Rookie guard Ayo Dosunmu has started the past two games for the shorthanded Bulls, and Sam Smith of Bulls.com writes that he’s earned that opportunity. A Chicago native, Dosunmu played well in his first start, notching 11 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in nearly 42 minutes during the team’s win over Denver on Monday.
We are barely over half a season (45 games) into Killian Hayes’ young NBA career. Injuries derailed his rookie season and left a small sample of ineffective games to judge (too quickly) Hayes’ NBA future. He’s already played nearly as many games this season as he did all of last season, and I think we
On Wednesday, Hamidou Diallo delivered one of his best games of the season. And he did so while donning a face mask, making him the latest Detroit Pistons player to uphold Rip Hamilton’s legacy in that category. Hamilton famously wore a mask to protect his nose after he broke it twice during the 2003-04 season.
Detroit — In two of the Pistons’ first three possessions against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, Killian Hayes drove to the basket, getting an advantage on his defender. He missed the first short jumper, but the second-year guard made a 16-footer, for the Pistons’ first basket of the game. It was a good beginning to
Isaiah Stewart was and is one of my favorite players on the Pistons roster. I am not from Detroit, in fact I have never been to Detroit (something that will change in March), and just recently started following the team and creating content exclusively a little over 12 months ago. I say that because even
Detroit Pistons coach Dwane Casey doesn’t have a true big man, a shooting guard with a consistent shot and a second starter who has been in the NBA more than a year and a half – the veterans come off the bench. He has a small forward who showed promise as a spot-up shooter and defender in his
Detroit — When it came down to crunch time, the numbers didn’t matter for Cade Cunningham. He had started the game 4-of-16 going into the overtime. Then he clicked it into another gear. Cunningham scored the Pistons’ last eight points of the extra period — all on drives to the rim — and the last
We hear from Dwane Casey after his Pistons rally to take it to overtime but fall to the Wizards 119-116. #ItsMillerTime
We hear from Frank Jackson after he comes off the bench to score 19, including five 3-pointers, in Wednesday night’s OT loss to the Wizards. #DetroitBasketball
Cade Cunningham scored 8 of Detroit’s 10 points in overtime, but a Kyle Kuzma three-pointer with less than one second remaining proved to be the difference in the Detroit Pistons’ 119-116 defeat at the hands of the Washington Wizards. The Pistons coughed up another huge lead to see themselves down double digits late, but unlike
It appeared the Detroit Pistons were heading toward their second-straight collapse on Wednesday night. A late run — and an impressive overtime performance by Cade Cunningham — nearly helped the Pistons snap a nine-game losing streak. But the final moment belonged to Wizards forward and Flint native Kyle Kuzma, who knocked down a game-winning 3
After a hot start the exuded competence and then evolved into outright confidence, the Washington Wizards hype train has derailed a bit. The Wiz have won just four of their past 12 games and are again facing questions about the long-term commitment of Bradley Beal. Of course, when you let the OKC Thunder, a team
Many people thought this year would be the return of a competitive and dangerous Golden State Warriors team. After a few post-Kevin Durant years spent in the NBA wilderness dealing with injuries and aging, the Warriors … well, they’re back. And they aren’t just dangerous, they are close to unstoppable. It’s a position most NBA
Detroit — The Pistons looked to be on their way to ending their eight-game losing streak, but somewhere in the second half, things got away from them. The Oklahoma City Thunder, also on an eight-game skid, erased the deficit and steamed ahead for a win. It’s just another setback in a tough season for the
After a frustrating loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday, the Pistons face a Wizards team that has been off to a surprising start. They have cooled off a bit in recent weeks, but they are still a far more challenging foe than the Thunder. The Pistons played a good game against the Thunder
Jerami Grant has been through this before. The Detroit Pistons star was drafted by the “Trust the Process”-era Philadelphia 76ers in 2014 — a team that started the season 0-17. Grant won 28 total games during his first two seasons in the NBA. In his third season, he finally experienced winning. The Sixers traded Grant
The 4-19 Pistons, losers of nine straight games, are currently sole owners of the NBA’s worst record. Happily from a big-picture perspective, intriguing rookie guard Cade Cunningham is showing promising early signs of development, details James L. Edwards III of The Athletic. Cunningham was shelved for Detroit’s entire preseason and the early portion of the
Detroit — During Jerami Grant’s first season with the Pistons, he was just trying to find his legs. Just trying to find an identity on the court and how he would fit with a new team after signing a three-year contract worth $60 million. It’s also about finding a fit with a new city and
