When I woke up this morning and saw the Detroit Pistons’ injury report, I thought “now THIS is how you tank!”

The Pistons have played competitively all season behind strong efforts from their rookies and Most Improved Player candidate Jerami Grant, but with just 17 games remaining in the season, now is the time to start losing for real.

The Pistons will run out their youngest starting lineup of the season against the OKC Thunder, who currently have a roster that looks like a G-League team.
