Can we just pretend that Saturday didn’t happen for the Pistons? Facing a Rockets team that was very short-handed, they were ran off the court after a hot start and ultimately fell to the Rockets. For tanking purposes, it was a great loss, but for morale purposes it was demoralizing.
I bring that up because it is important as the Pistons face a likely very short-handed Mavericks team tonight who will be without Christian Wood and likely Luka Doncic. Doncic is a game time decision, but based on what I have seen I would anticipate him sitting this one out.
