Detroit ran out of offense in the fourth quarter. Cade left the game early with a hip pointer. – 9:34 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
I’m not sure I’ve seen an easier drawing of a charge this season than when #Pelicans have stood in the paint on Jerami Grant drives. It happened multiple times in the previous game by Herb – 9:16 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Nice drive and finish by Killian Hayes to end the 3Q. Pistons lead by three going into the fourth quarter.
CoJo: 16 points
Jerami Grant: 14 points
Hamidou Diallo: 12 points – 8:52 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
Pretty awful defensive half. Pels lose Jerami Grant twice late in the second quarter and he splashes two 3s. New Orleans allows 65 points to Detroit, the NBA’s 29th-ranked offense. – 8:14 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
HALFTIME: Pistons 65, Pelicans 57
Jerami Grant: 12 points

#Pistons Dwane Casey says Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk will play tonight vs. #Pelicans.
He says there are no implicit minutes restrictions, but they’ll watch their conditioning. – 5:46 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk will both play tonight, Dwane Casey said. Will be Grant’s first game since Dec. 10 – 5:45 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
It’s February, so screw it, let’s make some trade deadline predictions.
Won’t get traded: Ben Simmons, Jerami Grant, Harrison Barnes, any notable Pacers.
Will get traded: C.J. McCollum (Pelicans), Eric Gordon (Cavs), John Collins (destination unclear), Kenrich Williams (Bulls). – 2:28 PM

Jerami Grant, Kelly Olynyk could return to action for #Pistons tonight vs. #Pelicans: detroitnews.com/story/sports/n…12:47 PM

It looks like Jerami Grant will make his return tonight after missing several weeks with a thumb injury. Kelly Olynyk appears to be back, too. – 12:04 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
We have to talk about the Kings. They’re closer to 15th in the West than the play-in and have been HORRIBLE for the majority of the year.
For the love of all that is holy, do not trade assets for Jerami Grant. What are you doing? Why?! Stop! Reverse! – 9:57 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk are not on the injury report for Tuesday vs. #Pelicans, so they both could return. – 8:26 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk aren’t listed on the 7:30 injury report, meaning they could return tomorrow against the Pelicans. Grant hasn’t played since Dec. 10 due to a thumb injury and health and safety protocols. – 7:43 PM

More on this storyline

Scotto: Utah has discussed several wing options, including Harrison Barnes, Robert Covington, Josh Richardson, Josh Okogie, sources say. They’ve certainly done due diligence, and the mold of finding a defensive wing certainly appears to fit with all those names. There’s a commonality there. -via HoopsHype / February 2, 2022
When Danny Ainge was in Boston, they had talks with the Sacramento Kings to try to acquire Barnes. Now that Ainge has shifted to the Utah Jazz, it appears that the eye for Barnes remains. I’ve said this on other podcasts and have always maintained that Ainge was brought there to make a trade to bolster the team… They’ve got to improve in the West, especially when you look at the Warriors and Suns. -via HoopsHype / February 2, 2022
