The Pistons have gone on a tear recently and now find themselves atop the Eastern Conference standings. It hasn't been a perfect start to the season from an injury perspective, but the Pistons are winning games behind their available young stars. The Pistons' place in the standings might not be permanent, but it does show they are a real threat in the conference.
The Pistons need to keep their momentum going
While the Pistons' schedule recently has been weak, they also have some very solid wins so far. Their very first win of the season was on the road against a tough Houston team that is now looking like a proper championship contender.
