The Detroit Pistons Will Finish Third in the Division

The real race from this division is between the third and fourth spots. We know the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls will finish No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. That we do know. We just need to figure out who is going to bottom out the final three spots in this division.

When Indiana lost Paul George this summer to injury, the battle for the third spot in the Central automatically became a closer race than most believe. The Detroit Pistons will be better than last season. That will happen. Many just don’t believe how good they’ll be.

The Detroit Pistons will finish in third behind the Cavaliers and Bulls this season. Most importantly, they’ll make the playoffs.

Book it.
