Schröder at Pistons: Fight for playoffs in the east will be more exciting!

The Detroit Pistons had to give up the Washington Wizards with 125:129 on March 14, 2025. The defeat was the 14th for the pistons this season, while the Wizards celebrated the 14th success in 65 games with their victory. Two days earlier, the pistons had won convincingly against the wizards.

In this game, Dennis Schröder was not in the starting line -up and only came to 20 minutes of play, in which he scored 11 points. The best thrower of the pistons was Cade Cunningham, who contributed an impressive 38 points. Despite the defeat, Detroit remains in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, the last direct playoff place.

Schröder's change to the pistons

Recently Dennis Schröder was transferred by the Golden State Warriors to the Detroit Pistons. This deal was part of a larger trading package, which also included the change from Miami to Golden State. In addition to Schröder, Lindy Waters III moved to Detroit, together with a second -round pick of the Warriors.

This season is the eighth for Schröder in the NBA and his third in the current season after starting the season at Brooklyn Nets and then transferring to the Warriors on December 15. In his previous season, Schröder achieved an average of 14.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists. At the pistons, he will act as a backup for all-star Guard Cade Cunningham, while Detroit continues to fight for a place in the playoffs.

Current placements in the Eastern Conference

The pistons continue to have chances of the playoffs with a balance of 25 wins and 26 defeats. They are just one game behind the Miami Heat, which currently occupy the 6th place. The following placements are emerging in the Eastern Conference:

On the same evening, the Orlando Magic celebrated a clear victory against the New Orleans Pelicans with 113: 93. Franz Wagner contributed 27 points, while Paolo Banchero even scored 34 points. The Magic thus consolidated their place in the eighth place of the Eastern Conference, but are six wins behind the pistons far behind the playoff places.

In addition, the day for Stephen Curry was remarkable when he was 4,000 in the 130:104 win of the Golden State Warriors against the Sacramento Kings. Successful three-point throw. The next day the Star Guard is celebrated its 37th birthday. In the game of Los Angeles Lakers against the Milwaukee Bucks, Luka Doncic scored a defeat (106: 126) despite his 45 points, while LeBron James continues to fail due to injury and forecasts about his return are unclear.
