Pistons vs. Nuggets GameThread: Game time, TV, Odds, and More

UPDATE: The game between the Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons was postponed minutes before tipoff because of an inconclusive test from a Detroit Pistons player. Contact tracing left the Pistons without the eight available players needed to play. You can read our full story on the postponement. The original story folllows.

———-

Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee return to face their former team. The Pistons look to snatch another win from one of the league’s best. A chance to see potential MVP Nikola Jokic slice and dice the Pistons’ porous defense. This game has the potential to be quite fun. Which would be nice after the absolute egg the Pistons laid against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
