The Detroit Pistons have to put a disappointing loss to Atlanta behind them immediately, as they take on the New Orleans Pelicans, who have been struggling to stay aloft without DeMarcus Cousins. Both of these teams need to win to stay in stalking distance of the playoffs - the Pelicans’ recent slide has them only a half-game above the Los Angeles Clippers for the final playoff spot in the West, and the Pistons currently are on the outside looking in the Eastern conference playoff race.
Both of these teams sound like they could use a break, honestly.
