A game between the Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets should have more juice.
It should be a matchup between Cade Cunningham and Jalen Green, the top picks in the 2021 NBA Draft. It should be a game of up-and-coming teams, emerging from the depths of terribleness, that people actually want to watch.
Instead, it’s the worst. I don’t mean the game, I mean the teams. Houston sits last in the league with an 11-38 record, while the Pistons sit 1.5 games back at 13-37. These teams are playing for nothing of note.
