Team Overviews
The Detroit Pistons currently hold the best record in the Eastern Conference, marking the latest point in a season they've occupied the No. 1 seed since the Flip Saunders era. Their impressive run is largely fueled by Jalen Duren's emergence as a dominant player and Cade Cunningham's key performances in the fourth quarter.
However, the Pistons' schedule so far has been relatively light. They have only defeated one team with a winning record—the Houston Rockets. Their other six victories came against teams with losing records, alongside two defeats by the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Tonight's game against the Philadelphia 76ers will be a crucial test for Detroit, revealing much about their true standing.
