This will be their third meeting of the season, with both teams failing to defend home court in the previous matchups.

Most recently, Detroit surprised New York with a 124-119 win at Madison Square Garden, led by Cade Cunningham’s 36-point performance. The Pistons will now look to snap their 10-game home losing streak in division play.

Indiana lost 127-117 to Cleveland at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday, despite Pascal Siakam’s 23-point performance, and will be without Tyrese Haliburton, who is listed as questionable. The Pacers have lost three straight games without Haliburton. Additionally, Bennedict Mathurin will miss this game due to a one-game suspension for bumping an official.
