What channel is Detroit Pistons game today vs. Chicago Bulls? Time, TV, stream
The Detroit Pistons visit the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night in a contest between two longtime Central Division rivals, each falling on hard times the past decade.
The Pistons have once again sunk to the bottom of the Eastern Conference, having lost seven consecutive games. Their last win came Oct. 28 against the Bulls in Detroit, 118-102, despite Zach LaVine scoring 51 points (19-for-33 shooting) for Chicago.
Yet the Pistons are severely shorthanded, missing at least five players on their 15-man roster, including starting center Jalen Duren (ankle soreness), who dominated the Bulls for 23 points and 15 rebounds in the last matchup.
The Bulls are well-rested, last appearing Wednesday in a 116-115 overtime loss to the Phoenix Suns. The Pistons lost Friday at home to the Philadelphia 76ers, 114-106.
Next up for the Pistons will be an in-season tournament game Tuesday at home vs. the Atlanta Hawks. The Pistons must win their final three games to keep hope alive of advancing to the knockout round.
