Get in the Game

The Pistons have a non-zero chance of making the playoffs.

Unfortunately, it isn’t much above nil.

If the Pistons – in 12th place and 4.5 games back from eighth place in the Eastern Conference – are going to make a miracle run, this next stretch is key. Detroit’s next four games are against other teams in the mix:

  • April 4: vs. Heat
  • April 8: vs. Celtics
  • April 10: vs. Pacers
  • April 12: vs. Hornets
