Game notes: Both teams are playing the second night of a back-to-back with the Pistons losing to the Chicago Bulls on Friday at United Center and the Wolves losing to the Milwaukee Bucks on the road. The Wolves have hit a bit of a skid of late, losing five straight after rattling off three consecutive wins. In just his third season, Anthony Edwards looks like a superstar, averaging 23.5 points per game on 46.5% from the field and 36.7% from 3-point range. D’Angelo Russell has stepped up in the absence of Karl Anthony-Towns, who will miss a month-plus with a calf injury. He’s averaging 21 ppg this month, his most in a full slate of action since February. His 46% shooting from the field would be his best season-long mark yet.
The Pistons will be short-handed after a skirmish earlier this week vs. the Orlando Magic, but Bojan Bogdanovic should be out there. He’s leading the team at 20.7 ppg and is shooting a blistering 40.4% from 3-point range. Up next for the Pistons is another road game Monday vs. the Portland Trail Blazers. The Wolves stay home Monday for the Denver Nuggets.
