Tonight the Detroit Pistons(12-20) take on the San Antonio Spurs(12-18). Tip off is at 8:30 pm and you can watch this game on Fox Sports Detroit or listen on 950 am.
This will be the second, and last meeting of the season between these two teams. The first meeting resulting in a Pistons blowout 132-98 on the Pistons home court. In that game, Christian Wood put up 28 points and 12 rebounds. Luke Kennard put up 20 points and also Bruce and Svi put up 13 a piece.
On the other side, Demar DeRozan scored 20 and that was basically it offensively. The Pistons played very sound defense on the December 1st matchup.
Demar DeRozan and Lemarcus Aldridge is a tough tandem to stop while they are clicking together. The Pistons cannot let them get going early, or it will be a long night with a negative outcome. If we can keep those two in check, it should be a good game.
Things To Remember
• This is the first game of a six game road trip. It definitely is a winnable game for the Pistons. If we could pull this win out, it would be a very encouraging start to the trip.
• Luke Kennard has been ruled out for this whole road trip with knee tendinitis in both knees. That will be a huge weapon in the starting lineup that we will be missing.
Coming up the Pistons play some tough competition including the Lakers, Clippers, Jazz. Every player is going to have to show up ready to play and compete at a high level in order to pick up some needed wins. Hopefully we can ring in the New Year on a high note!
