Small chance this could be a trap game.  After the Bulls, Cade and the Pistons have a big week to make a statement, all on national TV.

Monday - Spurs on Peacock.  The two best players under 25 and teams with two of the three best records in the league.

Wednesday - OKC on ESPN.  The Thunder announced on Wednesday that SGA would be evaluated in a week, so small chance he plays.  Williams won't be evaluated for two weeks, so he is out.

Friday - Cleveland on ESPN.  I'm not as high on Cleveland as most are.  But they have won 7 in a row and 13 of their last 15.

total trap game.

but the bulls are total crap so the pistons should be ok.

they played zero defense before the trade deadline and got even worse afterwards.

who plays less in this game: heurter or ivey?

[Deleterious]

The only way either one plays is in a blowout.

Checking in on Ivey is depressing

[Deleterious]

I think he was going to start getting DNP-CD's in Detroit after the trade deadline.  They were tossing him out there for 10 minutes a night as an attempt to maintain some trade value.

Could be an interesting summer for Ivey.  He will probably get some sort of contract, but it will be small.  $5 million for a  year with a team option, maybe.  Someone will take a chance for that type of deal I think.

Cole Anthony needs to be punished for ruining jaden ivey's life.

The Monday game is also on FDS, according to the schedule in the Free Press. I wonder if that's right or if Peacock has exclusive rights?

It says FDS on the NBA site as well.

3PT shooting is the only reason Chicago is in this.  Once that evens out Detroit should be OK.

[Deleterious]

Also, how does Ivey get a DNP-CD last game and is now out for injury management?  

[Deleterious]

Cade is the only Piston to make a 3PT shot that half.  Also, 2nd game in a row that Duncan had 0 points in the first half.

Bulls have lost 8 straight and 11 of their last 12 but are definitely not tanking...

Thompson 8 assists for the 2nd time this season.
