Game Preview
The Suns are having a turbulent season. Right now, they are looking well, being 4-1 straight up in the last five games. If they continue to play like this, the Arizona franchise just might get back to the playoff zone.
Kevin Durant is the NBA’s No.6 scorer, averaging 27.2 points per game. He shoots well, too, at 52.4% from the field. In a 130-123 win over the Wizards in DC, he had 23 buckets, while Devin Booker delivered 37 points.
The Detroit Pistons are also solid. They lost against the Pacers in their most recent appearance, 111-100, in Michigan, but they are 7-2 straight up in the past nine events. With a 21-20 record, the Pistons sit 10th in the Eastern Conference.
Detroit scores 112.4 points per game and allows 113.3. They are overall a nasty team, yet still lack experience. Also, Jaden Ivey’s injury is a big hit for this team. The explosive guard averaged 17.6 points with almost 41% form deep this year until he picked up an injury.
