What to Know
The Detroit Pistons haven’t won a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers since March 30 of 2019, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Monday. The Pistons will take on Portland at 7 p.m. ET at home. Detroit is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 119.11 points per contest.
Detroit was expected to have a tough go of it this past Saturday, and, well, they did. They suffered a grim 114-90 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Detroit was down 96-67 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Shooting guard Jaden Ivey had a rough night: he finished with ten points on 4-for-14 shooting and turned the ball over five times in his 30 minutes on the court.
Meanwhile, things were close when Portland and the Orlando Magic clashed on Sunday, but the Trail Blazers ultimately edged out the opposition 122-119. Point guard Damian Lillard continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, picking up 41 points and six assists in addition to nine boards. The game made it Dame’s third in a row with at least 33 points.
The Pistons found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 135-106 punch to the gut against Portland in the teams’ previous meeting in January. Maybe Detroit will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
