Brandon Jennings had 15 points but shot only 5 of 23 for the Pistons, who are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference and 3 1/2 games behind the seventh-place Nets so this is a key game for the Pistons. "We just have to take care of the things we're capable of taking care of," Cheeks told the team's official website, "and that's playing those teams, playing Brooklyn tomorrow and then playing (eighth-place) Charlotte (in a home-and-home) after the (All-Star) break. "Those are teams we need to beat in order to get ahead of them." Kyle Singler made his second start of the season Wednesday and scored 11 points. Cheeks said he's likely to start again in this contest ahead of rookie Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who had started the previous 40. I like the Pistons tonight at home as Brooklyn will be playing on a back-to-back and they are just not that young of a team anymore. Garnett and Pierce are old. Their depth is not good and Detroit is a young fresh team with plenty of pep in their step. Detroit has won both games vs. The Nets this season and I like them to make it 3 straight tonight. The Pistons have won their last two home games and should be glad to be back home this Friday night after two road losses @ Miami and @ Orlando. The Pistons were dealing with injuries earlier this season but are now playing with a 'full deck' and I like their rotation currently. Drummond, Monroe, and Josh Smith in the paint will cause Brooklyn a problem. Jennings, Stuckey , and Caldwell-Pope are all guys that can push the pace and I like them to do so. Chauncey Billups said that Thursday's practice was one of the best ones they have had this season. While the public is all on the Nets right now I'll take the healthy team who is rested and off a great practice preparing for this game. 10* NBA Game of the week on the Detroit Pistons.
