Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is on the visitors in this one: Detroit Pistons ML
“Led by Cade Cunningham the Pistons have one of the best records for the month of January in the NBA. They had a big-time prove it game against the Rockets and they were excellent. It looks like the Pistons finally have an identity. I think they should be favored even off the big win.”
