Detroit might be inching back to respectability, emphasis on might be and inching.
New Orleans seems pretty dead in the water right now. Any thoughts of them being a sneaky contender seem way off.
Detroit needs to bag wins like these to get back into the race in a top-heavy Eastern Conference.
Detroit Pistons
Detroit is off a really good win at home against Indiana. They have won three of four but until they get to .500 you can only think about them so much.
It was another game where Andre Drummond was a monster, 25 points and 22 rebounds against a good front line. He is awesome.

Blake Griffin also chipped in 25 points but in a less efficient way. Still, Detroit needs scoring and if he can keep that up maybe they can get some consistency.
The same goes for bench production. Derrick Rose has become somewhat of a constant but as for others, you can’t count on them.
Christian Wood scored 11 off the bench and he fancies himself a stretch big man but his shooting is inconsistent. Sometimes he has to remember that he is 6’11.
The current starting guard combo of Luke Kennard and Bruce Brown is about the least productive in the NBA. Until they get Reggie Jackson back or someone emerges that is going to hold back the Pistons big time.
New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans have lost eight in a row and might have just suffered their worst loss of the season, 130-84 at Dallas.

Returning home is not going to be enough to cure what is ailing this team. The results are always surprising, playing good teams close and getting skunked by weaker teams.
When you give up 130 points and only score 84 there is a lot of blame to go around. The shooting was the primary culprit as the team made less than 10% of its three-point shots. Lonzo Ball was 0 for 7. I know he has improved in this area but that is still way too many for a guy like that.
Even the great JJ Reddick only made one of four in the loss so sometimes these things just happen. At home, you can expect a little bit of a bounceback but nothing crazy. There is still not a lot to like about this team right now.

Free Detroit Pistons vs. New Orleans Pelicans NBA Prediction:
New Orleans is pretty messy right now but I am not sure I want to buy low and hope for the best. Detroit is the better team.
They have their weaknesses for sure but I don’t see how the Pelicans are going to provide much opposition upfront in this one.
