Detroit Pistons vs. Los Angeles Clippers 2019-20 season preview

Series prediction

Game 1: Jan. 2, 10:30 at Staples Center
Game 2: March 27, 7 p.m. at Little Caesars Arena

This series will be fun to see how Griffin plays against his former organization, which he was very outspoken about on ESPN’s 30 for 30 the Sterling Affairs. He’ll be motivated against his former coach though the team is radically different now than several years ago.

Getting a look at the title favorites and seeing how the Pistons stack up is worth the entertainment alone. However, it’s unlikely the games stay competitive for long as the Clippers can match the depth of any team in the league.

Of course, if Leonard takes it easy like he did last year and takes a load management, that changes things in the Pistons’ favor. However, they’d still have their work cut out for them.
