The Pistons have a long break before they play again and the Drive have back-to-back home games this weekend on Friday and Saturday night so it was a natural choice to have the entire gang come down.
The Drive are 2-2 and coming off a close loss on the road to the Greensburo swarm. It will be interesting if head-coach Ryan Krueger goes with all 5 Pistons players in the starting lineup with Keenan Evans (two-way), Zach Lofton (two-way), Khyri Thomas, Bruce Brown, and Henry Ellenson. That would be a small lineup but could also be awesome.
Both Drive games start at 7:00pm EST this weekend.
