Command Analysis

Minnesota Timberwolves

Wolves are still going down. Timberwolves have serious injury problems. Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert are still unavailable. Their absence surely affected team's performance.

Detroit Pistons

Detroit team is still at the bottom position of the Eastern conference. Casey's men are quite impressive on the offense, but their defensive game is terrible. Pistons' head coach is still unable to improve team's defensive performance, so results are underwhelming.
In the most recent game Detroit suffered another defeat. This time, Pistons lost to Chicago (118:132) on away, but before that, team secured a victory over Orlando (121:101).
