Detroit Pistons 2024-25 Schedule: Top Games

Here are four critical games for the Pistons throughout the rest of their season as they attempt to make the playoffs for the first time since 2019. 

1. Cleveland Cavaliers, Mar 28, 7 PM EST, FanDuel Sports Detroit

The Cavaliers have won all three games in this battle. However, the Pistons took the top seed in the Eastern Conference to the limit in their last battle, only losing thanks to a game-winning three-point shot by Darius Garland. The Pistons will look to avoid the season sweep in this showdown, which could also be a playoff preview. 

2. @ Oklahoma City Thunder, Apr 2, 8 PM EST, FanDuel Sports Detroit

The Pistons suffered a shell shock when the Thunder came into town and beat them 113-107, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's game-leading 48 points. Now, the Pistons will get a chance for redemption as they head into the Paycom Center for a showdown with the best team in the Western Conference. Given that the Thunder will likely have the top seed clinched by this point, the Pistons will have a great opportunity to snag a win and improve their status in the standings. 

3. New York Knicks, Apr 10, 7 PM EST, FanDuel Sports Detroit

This could be a potential playoff preview as the Knicks currently occupy the third spot, and the Pistons currently have the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference. The results were not pretty in the last visit by the Knicks, as they routed the Pistons 128-98. However, the Pistons won both games at Madison Square Garden and will have a chance to make a statement before the playoffs by winning the season series with a victory at home against the Knicks. 

4. Milwaukee Bucks, Apr 11, 7 PM EST, FanDuel Sports Detroit

This will be the first of two games against the Bucks to end the season. Significantly, this game (and the following game in Milwaukee) could determine playoff seeding and possibly be the difference between a first-round showdown with the Indiana Pacers, or one with the New York Knicks.
