Here is the full 2016-2017 schedule for the Detroit Pistons. The team will open the season Wednesday, Oct. 18, at the brand-new Little Caesars Arena, against the Charlotte Hornets, mirroring the opening of The Palace of Auburn Hills (where they also played the Hornets in the opening game).
They then immediately play their first of 14 back-to-backs, Friday against the Wizards and Saturday against the Knicks, both on the road. Fourteen back-to-backs sounds like a lot, but is actually under the new, lower league average. For comparison, last season the Pistons played 18 back-to-backs, going 4-14.
