The Motor City-Big Apple matchup will replace a Houston Rockets-Phoenix Suns game that was originally scheduled for that time slot.
The game will mark the team's first appearance on TNT since the 2008-2009 season. The Pistons came into the 2015-2016 season without any games scheduled to be played on TNT, ESPN or ABC, but will play four more nationally televised games on NBA TV.
