Cleveland — The Pistons are at a point where they have to think about the big picture. With three-plus weeks of the regular season remaining, they’re in a good position to make the playoffs — which they’ve only done once in the past decade.
After winning 14 of their last 18, the Pistons have shot up the standings and sit in sixth place in the East with 13 games to go. ESPN’s playoff odds have the Pistons at a 98.9-percent chance of making the postseason and fivethirtyeight.com puts their odds at 99 percent.
