Tonight, the Detroit Pistons are on the road against a divisional opponent with a lot of history.
The Indiana Pacers are another daunting task in this brutal stretch of games in December. They’re currently 23-12 on the season and just 2.5 games behind the Toronto Raptors for the first seed in the eastern conference.
Last season, the Pistons were able to take three out of the regular season games between these two teams. That was all without Blake Griffin.
Last December was the last time these two teams met.
Many forget they came close to knocking off LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of last year’s playoffs.
