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

Ahh, a game only a mother could love. Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee (among others) are out for the Pistons. So it’s another night of Deeeetroit Basketball courtesy of the 23 and younger set. It should be a good matchup for rookie Killian Hayes who hopefully gets to see some solid minutes against Darius Garland. Garland will be a great test for Hayes defensively and might enable him to get going a little bit offensively. I’m here for it (against my better judgment), so let’s all just enjoy it together with the comforting fact that after tonight only 14 games remain.
