Matt’s Analysis:
New Orleans has been playing pretty good basketball in recent weeks with no reason to tank and Dejounte Murray back. The Pels haven’t lost a game by more than five since March 3. This is mostly a fade of the Pistons, though, even though they are atop the East. They played a wild OT game last night vs. Atlanta with Jalen Duren getting 42 minutes and Daniss Jenkins 45 — he’s starting because Cade Cunningham is still out injured. Being as it’s also a third game in four nights, I could see Duren taking a seat, and backup center Isaiah Stewart is still out injured.
