The Daily Tank: Detroit Pistons 2020 NBA Draft odds on Feb. 3
The Detroit Pistons are in a tough stretch of the season, and it isn’t getting any easier. Here’s a look at their 2020 NBA Draft odds as of Feb. 3.
The Detroit Pistons are back in the win column, ending a five-game slide, which is great for the confidence of a young team, but not for The Daily Tank.
Detroit had the league’s second-longest losing streak, which came in a tough week of games. But the dawn of a new week leads to a new path for the Pistons towards the playoffs as the Magic stand alone in the eighth seed in the East but also with a five-game losing streak.
The Pistons (18-33) put together a complete performance to beat the Denver Nuggets in a Sunday matinee. The same Nuggets team that beat the Jazz and Bucks to start a three-game road trip. Detroit had seven scorers in double figures.

Oddly enough, the average draft position remained the same at seventh overall. The top position was No. 1, giving them a crack at James Wiseman, LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards or whoever they wanted. The lowest draft selection was ninth overall.
