In what feels like their 10th meeting of the young season, Detroit will host New York for their third and final meeting of the season.
In the midst of another let-down year, the Knickerbockers have handled the Pistons with relative ease. In their prior three outings (including a preseason game) they’ve throttled the Pistons by an average winning margin of 18 points.
However, after a resounding 6-game west coast trip, the Pistons are a much more competitive group than the one New York last faced on November 12th. In spite of significant injuries, Dwane Casey has the team playing a cohesive brand of basketball.
