What channel is Detroit Pistons game today vs. Chicago Bulls? Time, TV, stream
Welcome to the Detroit Pistons' home opener Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls, their longtime Central Division rival. Both teams are playing their third game of the season and both are on the second night of a back-to-back with travel.
The Pistons return to Little Caesars Arena after a two-game road trip to start the season, which included a 111-99 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night. Alec Burks scored 24 points off the bench, Jaden Ivey added 18, also as a reserve, and Jalen Duren pulled down 17 rebounds.

The Bulls hosted Toronto on Friday night, rallying for a 104-103 victory in overtime, thanks to DeMar DeRozan's 33 points and Alex Caruso's steal and game-winning 3-pointer. That came two days after getting waxed at home 124-104 by Oklahoma City, forcing a players-only meeting. That has to be the earliest locker room panic get-together in sports history, right? Great start!
The Bulls ran it back this offseason and maintain a big-name lineup, with former All-Stars DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic, along with former No. 4 overall pick Patrick Williams and No. 7 pick Coby White. Familiar face Andre Drummond is the backup center, averaging seven points, 3.5 rebounds in 14 minutes per game this season.
