Previewing the Detroit Pistons Upcoming Four-Game Road Trip

The Pistons will start their road trip against arguably the hottest team in the NBA, the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets are 25-28, but are winners of nine straight games, including a 126-119 win over the Atlanta Hawks. It’s possible Super Bowl Sunday and a travel day could throw things out of rhythm for the Hornets, but they are a team Pistons fans should not take lightly. 

Pistons Will Take on Reeling Raptors in Middle of Road Trip

Detroit will travel to Toronto to battle the Raptors following their game against the Hornets. The Pistons will have a day off in between games, which should allow them to either bounce back from a loss against Charlotte or carry over momentum from a win. 

The Raptors currently sit in 5th place in the Eastern Conference and have lost three out of their last five games. This is the first time the Raptors and Pistons have met this season, as the two sides will meet twice more after their first meeting. 

Pistons Play New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in Middle of Road Trip

The Pistons' road trip doesn't get any easier after a trip to Toronto, as a trip to New York to take on the Knicks looms for Detroit for the third game of their four-game road trip. The Pistons were able to blow out the Knicks 118-80 on February 6, thanks in part to Daniss Jenkins' 18 points. The Knicks are currently 33-19, and 21-6 while playing at Madison Square Garden. 

The Pistons will end their road trip with a trip to Chicago to take on the Bulls. Chicago is currently 24-29 and sit in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, just one game out from a play-in spot. A 3-1 record for the Pistons through these next four games would be fantastic, and a 2-2 record through these next four games wouldn't be the end of the world either.
