A loss to the Magic on Saturday held playoff implications, and it won't be the last time for the Pistons this season.

Against the Cavs, the Pistons will be without Ron Harper Jr. (NBA G League assignment), Jaden Ivey (fibula), Daniss Jenkins (NBA G League assignment), and Tolu Smith (NBA G League assignment). Tobias Harris, meanwhile, is questionable with post-traumatic headaches after suffering a scary head injury in Detroit's loss to Orlando.

Saturday's road contest against the Orlando Magic positioned the Pistons in the latter half of their season-longest five-game road trip. However, despite their success away from Little Caesars Arena, the Pistons fell 121-113 at Kia Center. The loss ended Detroit's four-game road winning streak and dropped their overall record to 23-22.

Franz Wagner scored 25 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter, Paolo Banchero had 32 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, and the Orlando Magic snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Detroit Pistons 121-113.

When travel issues brought the Pistons to a random Buc-ees in Alabama, they embraced it. It's a clue into why this year's team is so different.

The Detroit PIstons have suddenly caught fire to start 2025. Winners of 10 of their last 12, the Pistons are showing what complementary basketball looks like. Each piece of this roster that JB Bickerstaff and Trajan Langdon have put together is playing their role perfectly, and as a result, Detroit is on a roll we haven’t seen in half a decade.
