Taking a closer look at the 2018-19 Pistons schedule

First things first: Here is the full 2018-2019 schedule for the Detroit Pistons, who open the regular season on October 17 against the Brooklyn Nets, close the regular season on April 10 against the New York Knicks, and have 80 games in the middle to try and figure out how to be a playoff team. If looking through the schedule on that link doesn’t help you at all (like me), here’s a visual:

On an initial pass, the schedule seems pretty fair. Detroit’s longest road trip is five games (that West Coast swing in March with a game in Cleveland stamped on), their longest homestand is six games (at the tail end of November and into December), and home and road games are pretty interspersed.
