We have reached the point of the season where the previous versions of the Pistons would be resting players with “injuries” to try to improve their standing in the lottery. Now, every game matters as the Pistons try to catch the Pacers and/or Bucks for the 4th or 5th seed in the East. What a difference a year makes.
In the case of tonight’s game, a Pistons win combined with a Bucks loss will put them into sole possession of 4th in the East since the Pacers do not play. Luckily for the Pistons, they face a Wizards team that they just beat by 20 points on Tuesday.
