It has officially been two games with James Wiseman, Marvin Bagley, and Jalen Duren all in the Detroit Pistons' rotation. Through two games, the results haven’t been what one would call inspiring. The latest was a 121-115 defeat at the hands of the Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers, like the Pistons, came into this game severely shorthanded. Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, and Bennedict Mathurin all missed action due to injury, leaving Indiana severely undersized. This, in theory, opened up the room for Detroit’s bigs to dominate the game. What happened, however, was the opposite.
The Pistons were outrebounded 58-42 and outscored in the paint 64-56.
