The NBA released its 2019-20 schedule on Monday. The Detroit Pistons have three road trips that could determine their season’s outcome.

The Detroit Pistons 2019-20 schedule is going to be tough down the stretch. In order to make a second straight playoff appearance, the Pistons are going to need to take care of business before the All-Star break.

Detroit’s March is rated as the toughest in the NBA. Soon after the Pistons finish the season with six of their last eight games on the road. Six of those games are against teams – Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat (twice) and the Minnesota Timberwolves – that are expecting to fight for a playoff spot or top seeding in their respective conferences.

It’s not exactly a recipe for success if they are needing to win games to secure a playoff spot, which is why they’ll need to take care of business early on.

The April road trip that isn’t making our cut includes games at Minnesota, Atlanta, Miami and Dallas with an off day before and after each game. That additional rest could be crucial to combat potential injuries.

Fortunately, there aren’t many long road trips to choose from. In fact, despite a trip to Mexico City in December, the Pistons are fifth in fewest miles traveled for this season.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the Pistons’ three toughest road trips.
