Despite unstable season, Pistons' playoff chances still 50-50

It's been about a month and a half since we last checked in on the Detroit Pistons' playoff chances.

Surprise, they haven't changed much.

With the Pistons playing a tad better of late, their chances of a second straight post-season birth remain a 50-50 endeavor with 28 regular-season games to go.

Detroit, at 25-29, is given a 47 percent probability of making the playoffs according to FiveThirtyEight, the Nate Silver-founded stats and probability website.

That's a seven-percentage point increase from one week ago, but again, the Pistons had a near-50-50 shot when we last checked in late-December.
