Pistons vs. Magic GameThread: Game Time, TV, Odds, and More
Nothing helps your personal PR like winning. It’s certainly helped Paolo Banchero, who is leading a much-improved Orlando Magic team that is firmly in the playoff picture. Conversely, the lack of winning has very much hurt the Q rating of Cade Cunningham, Orlando’s opponent tonight. Unlike his fellow No. 1 pick in Banchero, Cunningham is either tagged with a label as a bust, a disappointment, or irrelevant because if he was really so good his team would be winning. Paolo, meanwhile, has performed admirably and not spectacularly as a No. 1 pick, but he is sitting pretty and firmly in the discussion as one of the best young players in the game. It’s understandable if not altogether fair. Cade deserves better than this, man.
Grousing aside, the good news for the Detroit Pistons. Quentin Grimes, who the Pistons obtained in the Alec Burks and Bojan Bogdanovic swap with the New York Knicks, is set to make his Detroit debut. Grimes has been out with a knee issue, and head coach Monty Williams says he will not play a full allotment of minutes. Still, I don’t think it will take long for Pistons fans to see how needed a perimeter defender like Grimes will be for this Pistons team.

Winter is in full effect, and if you’re looking for something to do this weekend in and around Detroit, there are a few events to help keep you warm.
First, get ready for some prehistoric family fun. Dinosaur Adventure, will feature life-sized dinosaurs that move and interact with kids.

Here’s an event where you can give back. The Detroit Darlings organization is hosting a community clothing drive.

It will offer a full makeover to an individual in need. It’s happening Saturday 12 p.m. until 4 p.m. at Carley’s Place Boutique, 29187 Northwestern Hwy, Southfield.
It may be freezing outside, but if golf is on the brain, here’s your chance to hit the course. The Chili Golf Open is happening at the Farmington Hills Golf Club.

SALT LAKE CITY — Nick Schmaltz and Clayton Keller had a goal and an assist each, Karel Vejmelka made 29 saves, and the Utah Mammoth beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 on Wednesday night.
Sean Durzi and Dylan Guenther also had goals for Utah, helping the Mammoth improve to 8-1-1 on their home ice since the start of January.
Schmaltz tallied his 23rd goal of the season, matching a season-high set in the 2021-22 season with Arizona. He trails only Guenther, who has 25, in goals scored for Utah this season.
Dylan Larkin scored for the Red Wings, who lost for the fourth time in five games. John Gibson made 21 stops for Detroit.
Durzi snapped in the puck from near the boards 57 seconds into the game. His unassisted goal was the fastest goal scored by the Mammoth on their home ice this season.
Schmaltz doubled Utah’s lead at the 8:11 of the first, scoring on a power play. Guenther tacked on another unassisted goal for Utah at the 4:40 of the third period. He stayed a step ahead of Mason Appleton on a breakaway and then sent a well-timed wrist shot around Gibson’s side.
Larkin snapped in the puck with 4:08 to play to make it 3-1. It was his 26th goal of the season.
