Detroit Pistons game score, live updates and analysis as they host the Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry at Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday.

It’s the fourth game of the season for both teams, but the Pistons are playing on the second night of a back-to-back. They lost against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday 128-120. 

The Warriors enter off Sunday’s epic comeback in Chicago, where Damion Lee hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 1.7 seconds remaining to give GSW its first win of the season, 109-108. Fun fact: Lee is married to Sydel Curry, the younger sister of Stephen. Yes, she was excited after the game.

Meanwhile, Stephen Curry had his best game yet, pouring in 36 points vs. the Bulls, but he’s shooting 9-for-35 from 3-point range (25.7%) as he shakes off rust after a broken hand limited him to five games last season. With Bruce Brown no longer on the roster, rookie Killian Hayes likely will start out defending the two-time MVP.

James Wiseman, the No. 2 overall pick last month, is averaging 14.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. Andrew Wiggins is also collecting 14.7 points and 5.7 rebounds, but shooting a brutal 32.7% from the field. 

There will not be a Draymond Green sighting in this game, as he remains out rehabbing a foot injury.

Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose are back in the lineup for the Pistons, after they sat out the Atlanta game Monday. Jerami Grant leads Detroit in scoring at 21.3 points per game, with Griffin averaging 20.5 points in two games.
