Explanation:
3 things to play for in meaningless Pistons vs. Pacers game
by Aaron Kellerstrass2 months ago
The Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers will play a game tonight with nothing at stake in the standings.

Both teams have been eliminated from postseason play (the Pistons pretty much the second Cade Cunningham went out with injury) and Detroit has locked up the worst record in the league.

It’s been an ugly season for Detroit, with few positives to build on as they head into a pivotal offseason that could see some big changes to the roster and coaching staff.
