It will be a busy weekend downtown. The Detroit Lions will play the Washington Commanders at Ford Field, the Detroit Pistons will host the Phoenix Suns at Little Caesars Arena, and the Detroit Auto Show will be held at Huntington Place.

The Detroit Pistons vs. Phoenix Suns game has been moved up to accommodate for the Lions-Commanders playoff game at Ford Field later that night.

During a recent podcast, Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff revealed his connection with Lions coach Dan Campbell and shared plans to have Campbell speak to his team after the playoffs.

Oakland has won 14 of the last 16 games against Detroit Mercy in men's basketball, including the last nine games at Calihan Hall.

The dangerously cold temperatures are expected in the region from Sunday through Wednesday. Wind chills are expected to be 15-25 degrees below zero Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning. By Wednesday afternoon, temperatures will get into the single digits below zero and up, so it will still be extremely cold in Metro Detroit.

The stars aligned for Phoenix Suns teammates Kevin Durant and Devin Booker to make a friendly wager on some playoff football.

With the Lions, the auto show, and the Pistons all in town this weekend, Detroit will be buzzing with fans for all three main events. Here is how police will approach security.

Detroit police said the public can expect an increased presence downtown Saturday for the Lions -Commanders game, the Pistons game and the Detroit Auto Show. "We're excited," Detroit Police Cmdr. Matthew Fulgenzi of the Third Precinct said in a Friday media briefing at the department's headquarters. "We have a lot going on downtown tomorrow."

The projection also factors in the Pistons game that day at Little Caesars Arena and the Detroit Auto Show at Huntington Place, which means higher foot traffic.

Detroit as a sports town had never been more down a few years ago. Now, from the Lions' epic run to the Pistons' rebuild, things are turning around.
