Game Overview
The Detroit Pistons enter tonight’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers holding the best record in the Eastern Conference, marking the latest point in a season they've held the No. 1 seed since the Flip Saunders era.
Current Team Performance
Detroit's strong start is fueled by Jalen Duren's rise as a dominant player and Cade Cunningham’s late-game leadership. However, their schedule has been relatively light — with only one victory against a team with a winning record, the Houston Rockets. Their other six wins came against teams with losing records, and they suffered two losses to the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers.
"The Pistons have played an awfully light schedule."
