What channel is Detroit Pistons game today vs. Cleveland Cavaliers? Time, TV, stream

The Detroit Pistons are in dire need of a win.

Since jumping off to a 2-1 record to start the year, the Pistons have dropped nine straight in a wide variety of different and frustrating ways.

Sometimes it's the offense, sometimes it's the defense, and sometimes it's the turnover. Okay, a lot of times it's the turnovers. But no matter what it's been, the Pistons just simply haven't been able to get in the win column, and once again find themselves at the bottom of the NBA standings after finishing with a league-worst record of 17-65.

Youth and injuries appear to be the biggest contributing factor thus far. As our' Omari Sankofa recently pointed out, the Pistons have had at least 16 turnovers in all 12 of their games so far, and those giveaways have just been too hard to overcome.

The Pistons are 0-2 in their in-season tournament games against the Philadelphia 76ers and the Atlanta Hawks, so Friday's game with the Cleveland Cavaliers may be their last chance to even fight for one of the spots in the knockout stage of the in-season tourney.

Here's what you need to know about the Pistons vs. Cavs game, the league's inaugural in-season tournament, TV and streaming info, the injury report and projected starting lineups.

Pistons injury report vs. Cavaliers

The Pistons had five players who missed the Hawks game Tuesday: center Jalen Duren (ankle soreness), forwards Bojan Bogdanovic (calf strain) and Isaiah Livers (ankle sprain), and guards Monte Morris (quad strain) and Joe Harris (shoulder sprain).

Duren has been in and out of the lineup since injuring his ankle and his status appears to be up in the air for Friday's contest.

Pistons vs. Cavaliers projected starting lineups

Pistons: G Cade Cunningham, G Killian Hayes, F Ausar Thompson, PF Isaiah Stewart, C Marvin Bagley III (if Duren is out).

Cavaliers: G Dejounte Murray, G Bogdan Bogdanović, F De'Andre Hunter, F Jalen Johnson, C Clint Capela.

Pistons head coach Monty Williams hinted that he may tweak the lineups to try and get Cunningham more space to opperate, but didn't say anything was definitive.

Lineups subject to change.
