The Detroit Pistons will have to attempt for their first victory of the 2020-21 NBA Seaason without some key figures in the lineup.
Per Rod Beard of The Detroit News, the Pistons will be taking on the Atlanta Hawks without Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose:

Additionally, the team could be without Jahlil Okafor and forward Sekou Doumbouya.
With three games in four nights, the Pistons are focused on keeping their key players healthy with the hopes of making a playoff push. Both Griffin and Rose played significant minutes during Saturday night’s setback against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Alongside the newly signed Frank Jackson, young players such as Killian Hayes, Rodney McGruder and Svi Mykhailiuk could see additional playing time.
Tomorrow’s game will tip-off at 7:30 PM from Atlanta.
