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

The Detroit Pistons are allergic to winning streaks with only two since December 2019. The Houston Rockets are allergic to winning altogether, currently in the midst of an 18-game losing streak. Something has to give. Oh, and this tank battle is happening on the first weekend of NCAA tournament. Poetic, in its own way.
