Detroit Pistons vs. Oklahoma City Thunder: Injury report, lineups, TV channel and more
The Detroit Pistons are back on the court, 24 hours after losing at home to the NBA’s second-worst team. Now they will welcome one of the league’s best.
The Pistons will get their second and final go of the season at the Oklahoma City Thunder at 2 p.m., just before kickoff of the Detroit Lions’ NFC championship game against the San Francisco 49ers. Fans who go to the Pistons game are being encouraged to stay after to watch the Lions as well. There is also a watch party at Ford Field, home of the Lions (ticket needed).
It won’t be an easy task for the Pistons as they try and knock off the Thunder, who have been battling with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the top spot in the Western Conference.

The Pistons have faced the Thunder once already this season, a 124-112 loss on the road Oct. 30 that was the first loss of their historic losing streak.
Saturday’s brutal 118-104 loss to the Washington Wizards saw the return of Pistons guard Cade Cunningham, after he missed eight games with a knee injury. Cunningham looked spry and even threw down a dunk over Wizards center Daniel Gafford in the early minutes. But his seven turnovers proved costly despite scoring 20 points and dishing 12 assists. The Pistons will likely be careful with Cunningham, but the team has not said anything about Cunningham not being able to play back-to-backs or having a minutes restriction. He was listed as probable to play as of Saturday night.
The Pistons next travel to Cleveland to face the Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

Water main break forces lane closures on Detroit’s east side
A water main break in Detroit Saturday night has forced lane closures on a road on the city’s east side, according to city officials.
The incident on East Jefferson Avenue near Burns Avenue was reported around 9 p.m. Officials said a 42-inch water main in the area ruptured.
“Crews responded immediately early Sunday morning to shut off the main and to begin preparing for repairs,” Detroit officials said in a news release.
All residents in the area should have service “due to redundancy in the water system,” according to officials. Anyone who doesn’t is asked to call the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department at 313-267-8000.
As of Sunday afternoon, the city has not issued a boil water advisory and says there are no issues with street flooding.
Repairs are expected to begin on Monday and officials estimate they will be completed “around the middle of the week.”
One lane in each direction of East Jefferson Avenue will remain open at and around the area of the break until repairs are done, and bike lanes at the repair location will be closed.
Officials are asking motorists who drive through the area to budget additional time for their commute or seek an alternate route until all lanes reopen.
