Detroit Pistons lose to Chicago Bulls, 117-115: Game thread replay
Detroit Pistons (15-47) vs. Chicago Bulls (28-34)
When: 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Where: Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
TV: Bally Sports Detroit.
Radio: WXYT-FM 97.1 (Pistons radio affiliates).
Starting lineups: Bulls start Patrick Beverley, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso, Nikola Vucevic; Pistons start Killian Hayes, Jaden Ivey, Rodney McGruder, Bojan Bogdanovic, James Wiseman.
Game notes: The Pistons have lost five in a row. They have lost twice to the Bulls this season, both by double digits. They play again in the regular season finale April 9 in Chicago. The Pistons are without Jalen Duren, Isaiah Livers and Isaiah Stewart, but Jaden Ivey and Bojan Bogdanovic are set to return after a one-game absence. We could see either of the Pistons' two-way players get a shot in the rotation. The Pistons also have the rest advantage, after the Bulls played in Toronto on Tuesday night, losing 104-98, to snap a two-game win streak. Chicago is a highly disappointing 11th in the Eastern Conference, 1½ games behind Washington for 10th, and owes its first-round pick to Orlando, protected 1-4. That pick is currently No. 7.
