Pistons vs. Warriors GameThread: Game time, TV, odds, and more

Mueller report. Good to have you here. With that bit of SEO business out of the way, on to your regular game thread.

The Detroit Pistons are only 3-4 in its past seven games, including a tough 117-112 loss Saturday to the Portland Trail Blazers. While not desperate for a win, a victory would go a long way in locking in a playoff spot in the East. Unfortunately, after playing last night the Pistons are forced to go up against the Golden State Warriors in Oracle Arena tonight. Have fun with that.

There is some good news for Detroit, though. No matter what happens, Zaza Pachulia is getting a championship ring tonight — that’s pretty neat. The Warriors will also be without Andre Iguodala and DeMarcus Cousins. So they’ll ONLY have Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green. Pity for them.
