Hamidou Diallo Poised to Make Detroit Pistons Debut
After missing the last month with a groin injury, Hamidou Diallo is probable to make his debut with the Detroit Pistons on Friday night. The Pistons acquired Diallo in a trade for Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and a second-round pick on March 13.
Before the trade, Diallo was primarily used in a reserve role for the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he figures to move into the Pistons’ starting shooting guard role. Diallo is having a career year, setting benchmarks across the board. Points, rebounds, assists, blocks, field goal percentage, three-point percentage, effective field goal percentage, and minutes are all career highs.
The Pistons can use all the offensive help they can get. Detroit is last in the Eastern Conference at 12-31 and is 24th in the league, scoring 107.2 points per game.
Friday is the first night of a back-to-back for the Pistons. They take on the Brooklyn Nets at home before traveling to Washington on Saturday night for an encounter against the Wizards. Check back to FanDuel Sportsbook for a line on the games.
