Pistons vs. Thunder preview: Nice to Svi you again

Photo by Zach Beeker/NBAE via Getty ImagesIt’s been a few weeks now since the under-the-radar deadline-adjacent trade that saw the Detroit Pistons send Svi Mykhailiuk and a second-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Hamidou Diallo. In truth, it seems the fans of both franchises are pretty happy with how things have turned out as the players are providing an element the team had previously lacked. In Detroit’s case, Diallo is serving as a high-level switchable defender and in OKC’s case, Svi is delivering some much-needed spacing as a perimeter-oriented scoring threat. The two teams will meet today in a battle of shockingly competent bad teams.
