The Pistons can only hope that the Portland Trail Blazers, tonight, are worn out after scoring 139 points against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.
The Pistons also hope that they don’t have a repeat of what happened on November 11th, which is when the Trail Blazers defeated the Pistons, 109-103.
While the Pistons did lose that game, there were still a lot of positives from that game for the Pistons. Through out the whole game, the Pistons stayed within distance of the Trail Blazers, and it came down to the last second of the game to decide a winner.
The Pistons will be looking to make a statement against the Trail Blazers, who are the best team in the Western Conference. They are coming off a win against the Brooklyn Nets, and they look to extend it into a multiple game winning streak against the Trail Blazers.
