With Stewart out, Monty will actually play forwards at the four spot. I think the Pistons will steal one……

I’m hoping we become just a typical bad team now. A bad team typically would take one game from that set. No predictions as to which though. We shouldn’t be favored in any of them.

Probably 0 but maybe we will be able to win one. There are some bad teams (Utah, and Houston is not that great anymore) and we always play well against Golden State, so maybe we win one of those games, but it's unlikely.

I voted for 4 a laugh...
One win against Toronto won't change too much.
We might have a chance against the jazz. That's about it

Nobody wants to mess with us now that we've strung 1 win in a row.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if we went 2-2 now that the weight of the historic losing streak is off, but I think 1-3 is most likely with a win against either the Rockets or Jazz.

Not expecting it, but wouldn't shock me. We should be playing a bit looser.

Going to be hopeful and say one, but my head says zero.

Winning against the Raptors required that team to have its rotation gutted earlier in the day and for the Raptors to be playing an away game on the second night of a back-to-back and playing their third game in four days.

Even then, the Pistons only won by two.

I could see them going 2-2 if they can get keep up some momentum

Yep. Hate to say it, but as bad as we are, it's not out of the question for us to go on another, even worse losing streak. No reason to think we couldn't drop the next 30.

They've got a 100% healthy roster this time around.

Just took Pistons +16.5 tonight. Can’t imagine the Nuggs doing much game planning for this one……
