NBA 2018-19: Eastern Conference Power Rankings Week 7

#3 Detroit Pistons

Detroit Pistons v Atlanta Hawks

Week 7 win-loss record: 3-0

In case you were sleeping on the Detroit Pistons before the start of the season, I ask you not to do that anymore, for they are one of the best teams in the NBA and they are putting the league on notice.

After starting the season 4-0, they lost five straight games and slipped few places in the Eastern Conference Standings. However, they recovered immediately after the setback and are currently on a 4-game winning streak.

They played three games last week and picked up as many wins. Their success is in large part due to the dynamic duo of Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond who are causing nightmare to the oppositions with their dominance in the paint. While Drummond is averaging a double-double and leading the league in rebounds per game, Griffin is also averaging close to double-double and barring any injuries, they are definitely going to pose some serious problems to teams, come playoffs.
