Pistons Face Mavericks March 21 in Playoff Push

The Detroit Pistons are set to face the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center on March 21, aiming for their third consecutive win. The Pistons are currently sixth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 39-31, led by Cade Cunningham, who averages 25.6 points and 9.2 assists per game. In contrast, the Mavericks, struggling with injuries and a four-game losing streak, hold an 11th place in the Western Conference at 33-37. Dallas will be without key players including Kyrie Irving, while the Pistons have no significant injuries to report. This matchup highlights the disparity between the two franchises' seasons, with the Pistons in playoff contention and the Mavericks facing a tumultuous year. As both teams fight for crucial late-season wins, Cunningham and Dallas's new addition, Kai Jones, will be pivotal in their respective offenses.
