Pistons vs Nuggets

Andre Drummond’s time

My pick for the NBA’s most improved player is Drummond. I expect him to have a monster season. And all this after a year in which he averaged 13.5 points and 13.2 rebounds per contest.

I have high expectations for the Pistons and Drummond. And those will get exercised tonight against a good Nuggets team that may even find its way in a race for the final spot in the Western Conference playoffs.
