Key Matchup
vs

Notes The Pistons will be playing in the second of back to back games and are coming off a win over the Raptors. They may have nothing to prove, but they are sending a message to the other playoff teams that they are the team to beat.

you can count on all the starters for the Pistons playing about as many mins as they would for an exhibition game if they play at all in this one.

I think the C's will get to run vs the back ups and should be able to handle them.

Close one, but only because the Pistons starters weren't really playing.
