The Pistons recently defeated Minnesota on the road. The Pistons are unlikely to do worse on their home court. We think that Casey’s team will be able to put up a good fight against the Wolves.
As a rule, the Pistons are quite efficient at home. The Pistons have scored more than 120 points in 3 of their last 5 games. That kind of performance automatically increases the likelihood of a high-scoring encounter.
One win and four defeats. It is the result of the Pistons’ last matches. The team is now on a black streak. They lost twice to the Philadelphia 76ers (116:147 and 111:123) and once to the San Antonio Spurs (109:121).
The last time a Michigan team won was on January 5. That was in an away game against the Golden State Warriors (122-119).
In the latest game against the 76ers, Saddiq Bey scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
There’s no way the Detroit Pistons are getting out of the bottom of the standings. The team has just 11 wins and 33 losses.
The Pistons have a minimum total of 230 points in 10 of their last 12 games.
The situation is diametrically opposite for the Minnesota Timberwolves. They are on a four-game winning streak. They defeated the Denver Nuggets (124:111), Portland Trail Blazers (113:106), Los Angeles Clippers (128:115) and Houston Rockets (104:96).
D’Angelo Russell showed his best game against the Rockets. The Minnesota guard scored 22 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.
The Timberwolves continue to climb up the standings. The team is in 8th place in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves have 20 wins and 21 losses under their belt.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Detroit Pistons: Killian Hayes – Jaden Ivey – Hamidou Diallo – Saddiq Bey – Isaiah Stewart.
Minnesota Timberwolves: D’Angelo Russell – Anthony Edwards – Jaden McDaniels – Kyle Anderson – Rudy Gobert.
Cade Cunningham (Out), Buddy Boeheim (Out), Marvin Bagley III (Out), Isaiah Livers (Out), Bojan Bogdanovic (Day-to-day), Jalen Duren (Out) and Isaiah Stewart (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Detroit Pistons.
Karl-Anthony Towns (Out), Jordan McLaughlin (Out) and Anthony Edwards (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
