Sacramento Kings: Game 44 Preview at the Detroit Pistons
By Tyler Watts
Detroit Pistons’ Scouting Report
The Detroit Pistons enter tonight’s game with a record of 21 wins and 24 losses. That positions them 9th in the Eastern Conference and just 1 game behind the Chicago Bulls for a playoff berth.
The Pistons appear to be hitting their stride recently. They have won 3 straight games by a combined 29 points.
They have also won 3 straight home contests and have won a combined 12 of their 21 home games this season.
Last time out, the Detroit Pistons defeated the Washington Wizards by a score of 113-112 on Saturday. It was a battle between the Morris brothers with Marcus hitting the game winner for the Pistons. Below is a highlight video from that game to give you a glimpse at the Pistons most recent form.
Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson has been a man with much speculation surrounding him so far this season. Jackson started the year off with a sprained knee and missed the team’s first 21 games. Since returning, Jackson has slowly rounded into form but has seen his name pop up in numerous trade rumors. I won’t bog you down with links or articles to the rumors because most likely none of that will come to fruition.
The Pistons have a special 26-year-old point guard in Reggie Jackson and they need to realize that true starting point guards are not easy to find. Unless the trade for Jackson nets them another starting point guard, the Pistons are probably better served to keep Jackson and continue their playoff push with him manning the point.
