It was the worst of times… then it was not that bad.
Coming off their worst loss of the season in Philadelphia against the 76ers, the Detroit Pistons cruised past the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday to right the ship. Now, they welcome the injury-ravaged New Orleans Pelicans to LCA in search of their second-straight win.
The win over Minnesota was big for a number of reasons, but it did come without the Wolves best player, Karl-Anthony Towns, who is out with injury. That luck continues for Detroit as it gets New Orleans without both Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram tonight.
