Pistons Schedule Offers Many Chances to See NBA's Best Athletes
In less than two months, the Detroit Pistons will be back on the hardwood embarking on an NBA season. The Pistons have a slew of high draft picks on their roster, but the future of their team's success is uncertain.
New head coach Monty Williams has 78.5 million reasons to want to work hard for his new team. That’s how much money Williams received in his record-setting contract to come to Motown. Whether Williams can resurrect DEEEEEEETROIT BASKETBALL remains to be seen.
But, one thing is certain: hoops fans will have many opportunities to see NBA action in downtown Detroit this season, starting with a rivalry tipoff in the first home game of the 2023-24 Pistons season.

On Oct. 28, Detroit will host the Chicago Bulls at Little Caesars Arena to start their home season. While the Bulls and Pistons haven’t played a rugged playoff series against each other in many years, the two cities, Detroit and Chicago, don’t like each other.
Detroit will also host the Trailblazers, Warriors, and Suns in the first weeks of the NBA season. That means many NBA stars will be running up and down the court in the Motor City. And the venue is one of the best in sports.
Little Caesars Arena, situated in the heart of downtown Detroit, stands as a modern marvel that embodies the city's spirit of resilience and reinvention. This state-of-the-art multi-purpose arena is a vibrant hub of sports, entertainment, and community engagement that encapsulates Detroit's rich history and future aspirations.
