Get in the Game

  • Atlanta will have the Eastern Conference’s best record and Detroit will be out of playoff position – regardless of this contest’s result.
  • The Pistons’ current win streak is their longest since the 2008-09 season. A win would push it to match one that overlapped the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons.
