What to Know

The Phoenix Suns' homestand will continue as they prepare to take on the Detroit Pistons at 9:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Footprint Center. Both of these teams will be coming in off a loss in a game they were expected to win.

Last Thursday, the Suns came up short against the Pacers and fell 120-111.

Kevin Durant put forth a good effort for the losing side as he dropped a double-double on 37 points and ten rebounds. He has become a key player for the Suns: the team is 10-2 when he posts at least eight rebounds, but 4-10 otherwise.

Meanwhile, the Pistons traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road hasn't gotten any smoother so far this season. They took a 126-119 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Jazz on Thursday.

The losing side was boosted by Cade Cunningham, who went 13 for 23 en route to 33 points plus seven assists and four blocks. What's more, he also posted a 56.5% field goal percentage, which is the highest he's posted since back in November.

Phoenix's loss ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 14-12. As for Detroit, their defeat dropped their record down to 11-17.

Looking forward, the Suns are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 6.5 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last three times they've played Detroit.

The Suns strolled past the Pistons in their previous matchup back in February by a score of 116-100. Will the Suns repeat their success, or do the Pistons have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
