When: 7 p.m. Friday.
Where: Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
TV: Bally Sports Detroit.
Game notes: The good news for the Pistons is Luka Doncic won't be in a Hornets uniform. Four nights after Doncic dropped 53 points on the Pistons' heads in a 111-105 Mavericks comeback win, the Pistons take the court looking to get back in the win column. This matchup vs. the Hornets features the Eastern Conference's worst teams, so this game has extra meaning in the "Trauma for Victor Wembanyama" sweepstakes.
