Detroit Pistons

The Pistons, unlike the Pelicans, at the finish of the championship will be a tournament struggle. Now the team holds the sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a balance of 37-31, but to go directly to the playoffs officially Detroit has yet to go. The team from Michigan is separated from the seventh line by 4.0 wins.

Detroit lost their previous two games, both on their home court. First, the Pistons unexpectedly fell short against the last team in the East, Washington (125:129), and then they were beaten by Western Conference leader Oklahoma (107:113).
