Where to watch Pistons vs. Pacers in Wednesday's season opener

The Detroit Pistons hope Wednesday marks the start of a refreshing new era of basketball. After coming off two straight seasons with fewer than 20 wins, the Pistons made some big changes in the offseason.

After one season of the Monty Williams era, the Pistons called it quits on their head coach. While they invested a lot of money in the former Phoenix Suns head coach, Detroit decided that Williams wasn't the right man for the job after all.

The new addition is former Cleveland Cavaliers head coach JB Bickerstaff. The former Cavs coach will have the opportunity to coach a team that has been streamlined by new president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon.

The Pistons have plenty of returning young players for the 2024-2025 NBA season and are keeping their expectations in check. However, they want to turn things around and go in a completely different direction as they believe it is time to get out of the reconstruction.

In the offseason, the Pistons added a handful of veterans, including Tobias Harris, Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. In addition to several key additions, the Pistons have reaffirmed their confidence in Cade Cunningham, who will remain a key player for years to come They agreed to a maximum extension with the veteran.

The Pistons had a successful season considering the circumstances of last year. After defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers a week ago, Detroit finished the friendly phase with a record of 3-2. They begin their series of regular season games with a matchup against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

The game will be broadcast by FanDuel Sports Detroit (formerly known as Bally Sports Detroit).
