It would be hard for things to get much worse for the Detroit Pistons, who now own the record for the longest losing streak in a single-season AND are tied for the longest losing streak of any kind in NBA history at 28 games. The 2-29 Pistons' last win came before Halloween, on October 28 against the Chicago Bulls.
If you're like most NBA fans, you're probably wondering when will the Pistons win a game again? Well, the sportsbooks have the answer, sort of. For example, FanDuel has odds on when exactly the next Pistons win will happen — including the possibility that Detroit won't win another game this season. Let's take a look at the odds.
When Will the Pistons Win a Game? Here are the Odds
December 30 vs Toronto Raptors: +134 (Detroit moneyline)
January 1 at Houston Rockets: +500
January 3 at Utah Jazz: +360
January 5 at Golden State Warriors: +1900
January 7 at Denver Nuggets: +3000
January 9 vs Sacramento Kings: +950
January 10 vs San Antonio Spurs: +550
January 12 vs Houston Rockets: +1300
January 15 at Washington Wizards: +2500
January 17 vs Minnesota Timberwolves: +4500
January 20 vs Milwaukee Bucks: +5500
Not to win another game in 2023-24 Regular Season: +80000
Detroit's next best chance to win a game comes Saturday against the Raptors, who will be shorthanded after trading OG Anunoby and others to the New York Knicks on Saturday. And maybe this story is the jinx the Pistons need to get over the hump.
Of course, if they lose on Saturday and then just keep losing, the Pistons could win a game between January 20's showdown with the Bucks and the end of the regular season. But for now, the sportsbook traders aren't looking quite that far into the future. For Detroit's sake, we hope they don't need to do so.
In addition, the Pistons' season win total over/under is currently set at 11.5, with the over +100 and the under -122. The record for losses by a team in a full 82-game season is 73, owned by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2015-16 season.
