Pistons vs. Hawks GameThread: Game Time, TV, Odds, and More

The Detroit Pistons have been a pretty awful team through two games. Now imagine them without Jerami Grant. Scary, right? Well, we might just see that tonight against the Atlanta Hawks as Grant is questionable with a left elbow infection. The Pistons are the only team in the Eastern Conference without a win. Will that change against what might be one of the East’s most dangerous teams? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean the team can’t make progress. Like hitting some 3s. Cut down on the turnovers. Run sets that look like actual offensive plays. Off ball movement! OK, well maybe I’m just being greedy.
