The Detroit Pistons play in the National Basketball Association. NBA broadcasts split between national windows on ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, and Amazon Prime Video — and regional sports networks for in-market games. NBA League Pass streams every out-of-market game live or on demand.

Local Detroit Pistons games stream on DAZN across Detroit and Michigan. They air on TV20 Detroit there too, which is also free over the air with an antenna. A Scripps Sports deal returns the Pistons to free over-the-air television for the first time since 2005; Grand Rapids gets the games on The Spot 17 and FOX 17.
To stream Detroit Pistons local games, use DAZN. The same games that air on TV20 Detroit stream on DAZN inside the team's broadcast territory, as a subscription. Games shown only on a national network are not part of it.
Fubo does not carry TV20 Detroit. Fubo's regional channel list, which is where its own carriage is published, has no Detroit Pistons channel on it — so Fubo is the wrong subscription if local games are what you want. It is the right one for the national windows on ESPN, ABC and NBC, and it confirms your local channels by ZIP at signup.
