    The Detroit Pistons kick off their new season against the Indiana Pacers tonight at 7:00 PM at Little Caesars Arena on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit, formally known as Bally Sports Detroit.

    After finishing last season with the worst record in the NBA at 14-68, including a 28-game losing streak, the organization spent the summer overhauling it from top to bottom. Former general manager Troy Weaver and head coach Monty Williams were let go and the team introduced Trajan Langdon as the new president of basketball operations, along with J.B. Bickerstaff as the new head coach.

    TRENDING: How many games should the Pistons win this season?

    The new front office selected G League forward Ron Holland II with the No. 5 overall pick in June’s draft. Landgon then went to work on bringing in productive veterans, including Tobias Harris (free agency), Tim Hardaway Jr. (trade), Malik Beasley (free agency) and Paul Reed (free agency).
