Lebron and AD may not play tonight and if that is the case the spurs have a decent chance to end the streak tonight. Either way I think they'll end it first. They've been at least competitive in a lot of games but just haven't closed them out. The pistons haven't even been competitive.

It's been helpful for betting though. Fading those three teams has been pretty predictable this year.

It's mathematically impossible it happens at the same time. Even if they both end the losing streak tonight, Detroit game is 1 hour earlier than the Spurs.

Shout out to the Hornets who have managed to lose to both the Pistons and Wizards this year. They face the Spurs on January 12th.

Pretty wild to see GS on that list. They really seem to be a crumbling dynasty.

Dec 21- Pistons play Jazz at home,Utah is 1-11 on the road and thats a winnable game.
Otherwise probably not a chance to win until the Jan 10 matchup with the Spurs

Looking at the spurs schedule there best chances would be December 26th home vs Utah and December 28th or 29th at Portland. Other than that don't see winnable games for them.

There is real potential that neither team wins another game until they play each other.

In regards to the Wiz/Pistons game. Somebody had to win!

The thing is, the Spurs losing streak made them look worse than they are. They go up in alot of these losses, then lose at the end. That's a promising sign from a young team who just needs experience. The Spurs have until recently played Sochan at the 1, a tried and true tank method for losing more than you should is to make sure the team lacks a point guard.

Meanwhile Detroit is going out and losing by huge margins while playing a more conventional line up. They're just bad.
