Pistons vs. Bulls gamethread: playing time, tv, odds and more

Play with Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls. Detroit wants to build some momentum under Long Home Stand. Blah blah blah. Luka Doncic was traded from Dallas Mavericks To Los Angeles Freaking Lakers. I’m not sure if the previous sentence is a statement or a question. Maybe it’s both. It literally has nothing to do with the Pistons and Bulls game, for sure, but that’s kind of everything I can think of. I just don’t get it. Will there also be a kind of knock-on effect for both bulls and pistons in the week leading to the trade deadline? It certainly repositions where Mavs and Lakers are located and what they want to be looking to lead up to the deadline. It can also motivate other challengers to change gears a bit. Both Chicago and Detroit are definitely interested in making movements. Chicago has a few veterans they would like to dingle in front of challengers, namely Zach Lavine and Nikola VUUCEVIC. Meanwhile, Detroit has $ 14 million value of Cap space for sale that they would like to use to facilitate offers and collect young/useful assets.

Oh yeah, the game. Right. Cade Cunningham has to do good things and Zach Availer is missing this game so the stamps can’t let Coby White go nuclear. Maybe don’t let this be an evening when VUUCEVIC hits six three-pointers. With avalanche out, Bulls starts a shocking little lineup that contains four guards and VUUCEVIC. Of course, Josh Gidde and Lonzo Ball have a certain size for them, but Detroit has to benefit in a rare game where they have the size advantage everywhere on the floor.
