What channel is Detroit Pistons game vs. Phoenix Suns? Time, TV, stream
The Detroit Pistons after a quick start to the 2023-24 NBA season have lost three consecutive games, each disheartening in their own way:
A 124-112 blowout loss at Oklahoma City on Monday when the Pistons squandered the rest advantage; a 110-101 loss vs. Portland on Wednesday saw the Pistons blow an 18-point lead against one of the league's worst teams; a 125-116 loss Thursday at New Orleans, which was without its two All-Star forwards, where the Pistons trailed by as many as 25 points late in the first half.
They'll now face a fellow three-game loser in the Phoenix Suns. The Pistons were blasted by the Suns' starters in the preseason opener Oct. 8, before the backups rallied to force overtime in an eventual 130-126 loss at Little Caesars Arena.

The Pistons have a two-day rest advantage, having last played Thursday in New Orleans; the Suns lost Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia, 112-100, and will be playing their second game in 24 hours. Phoenix has lost three straight, though Grand Rapids native and Detroit sports fan Devin Booker (ankle) sat out Saturday's game.
This is the front side of a back-to-back for the Pistons, which host Golden State on Monday (7 p.m.).
