Betting odds for the Detroit Pistons vs. Phoenix Suns NBA preseason game

For the second time this week, the Detroit Pistons face a direct duel with the Phoenix Suns.

On Tuesday, the Pistons were on a roll with a surprising win against the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite trailing by double digits early in the game, the Pistons managed to recover and secure a double-digit win that ended 1-0 in the preseason.

However, the Suns forced them to produce different results in the second game.

With a 21-point performance from Kevin Durant, the Suns outscored the Pistons 105-97. Detroit once again found itself in a big deficit, trailing by as many as 21 points on Tuesday night. Despite another decent offensive performance from Jaden Ivey, the Pistons were unable to pull off the surprise.

On Friday, Detroit will have a chance to get back on its feet. They hope to make an important contribution as experienced striker Tobias Harris returned to the team to take part in training on Thursday afternoon.

So far, Harris has missed both preseason games in Detroit. He was the team’s largest free agency acquisition of the summer, signing a two-year contract worth over $50 million. If all goes well for the Pistons health-wise on Friday, they could have Harris in his debut.

The Suns and Pistons meet again on Friday.
