KEY GAME INFORMATION

DETROIT: GUARDS: RODNEY STUCKEY was hampered by nagging injuries a year ago. If he's healthy, he's the best offensive weapon they have . . . BRANDON KNIGHT is more of a combo guard running the point. He can shoot, but doesn't bring much else to the table . . . With Ben Gordon gone, WILL BYNUM has a chance to regain a significant role . . . The Pistons' two second-round picks have a chance to carve out big roles. KIM ENGLISH has a skill set similar to Gordon's, capable of heating up and scoring in bunches . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON is more of a spot-up, catch-and-shoot threat only . . . Former No. 6 overall pick JONNY FLYNN agreed to a non-guaranteed contract in October, as he is no guarantee to even make this sorry roster. FORWARDS: TAYSHAUN PRINCE is still hanging on as the Pistons' best all-around player . . . JASON MAXIELL should be able to reclaim his starting spot early. He rebounds and takes up space . . . JONAS JEREBKO showed flashes but looked rusty in his first year back from an Achilles injury . . . 2011 2nd-rounder KYLE SINGLER has a good chance to step into the rotation after a solid year in Spain . . . COREY MAGGETTE was acquired in a Ben Gordon salary dump. He'll see limited minutes . . . AUSTIN DAYE regressed big-time last year. Unless he gets off to a hot start, he'll be on the outside looking in at the rotation . . . TERRENCE WILLIAMS is seeking a new lease on life, but could be too much of a head case to realize he's wasting his talent . . . The Pistons are counting down the days left on CHARLIE VILLANUEVA's contract (two years). CENTERS: GREG MONROE is a solid fit in Frank's system. He's not a great athlete, but he can score and move the ball on offense, as well as rebound . . . ANDRE DRUMMOND could one day be a perfect fit alongside Monroe. But for now, he'll watch and learn as a raw, boom-or-bust prospect . . . VIACHESLAV KRAVTSOV is an athletic big who will bring energy, but little offense in limited minutes.

CLEVELAND: GUARDS: KYRIE IRVING is the real deal, a heady playmaker and near-elite shooter. He should emerge as the NBA's next great point guard this season . . . Rookie DION WAITERS has a chance to step right into the starting lineup. He can get to the rim and generally makes good choices withthe ball. The only thing holding him back is defense after playing college ball in Syracuse's lazy zone . . . C.J. MILES will reportedly start at either the two or three spot, but he really needs to find the range on his shot again for him to stick in the starting lineup . . . Gunning combo guard DANIEL GIBSON is looking like he'll be their sixth man . . . The Cavs are still trying to figure out their second unit. JEREMY PARGO figures to be Irving's backup, but DONALD SLOAN is a better defender and could eventually pass him for this role, which doesn't mean many minutes unless Irving gets injured again. FORWARDS: TRISTAN THOMPSON is trying to add a perimeter shot to his repertoire. Don't count on him becoming David West, but he should improve offensively to go along with his rebounding and shot-blocking . . . ALONZO GEE returns as the starting small forward, excelling on the defensive end, but without a polished enough offensive game to earn 35 minutes per night . . . OMRI CASSPI was in and out of the rotation late in the year as he battled knee issues. It's getting close to make-or-break time for him . . . JON LEUER is a solid stretch four who has a real chance at a rotation spot . . . SAMARDO SAMUELS reportedly dropped some weight in his effort to find some minutes . . . LUKE WALTON is an unofficial member of the coaching staff . . . Undrafted rookie KEVIN JONES could make some noise with his work on the offensive boards . . . LUKE HARANGODY is more of a D-League talent. CENTERS: ANDERSON VAREJAO's wrist should be 100 percent, and Sideshow Anderson should be the same relentless, double-double threat he's always been . . . Rookie TYLER ZELLER is a 7-footer with some nice offensive skills -- he can knock down a jump shot in the half court, and run the floor. He'll struggle to defend in space, but made a living drawing charges at UNC, and should be able to play 20+ minutes as a rookie.

*Pistons-Cavaliers Preview* ===========================

By MATT BEARDMORE STATS Writer

Detroit (6-14) at Cleveland (4-15), 7:30 p.m. EDT

Kyrie Irving won't be able to help. Rookie guard Dion Waiters wishes he could, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Likely missing their top two scorers for a fourth consecutive game, the host Cavaliers will look to snap a four-game losing streak Saturday night when they face the Detroit Pistons for the second time in six days.

Out the last 10 games with a broken left index finger, Irving, who is scoring 22.9 points per game, isn't expected back for a couple of weeks.

Waiters, second on the Cavs (4-16) with 15.2 ppg, has missed the last three contests - starting with Monday's 89-79 loss at Detroit - with a sprained left ankle, and he's not likely to return until at least Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

"He wants to try to play tomorrow, I just don't see it after watching him walk," coach Byron Scott said after Friday's shootaround. "The other thing is, I've always believed when a player comes back, he has to have a full day or practice too. His first chance of doing that would be Monday."

That's bad news for a Cavs team that's averaging 79.0 points and shooting 34.8 percent since Waiters went down.

With the No. 4 overall pick back in Cleveland to receive treatment, the Cavs lost for the 14th time in 16 games on Friday, 91-73 to Minnesota.

There was no excuse for their season low-tying 30 field goals, but Scott found one for the season-low nine free throw attempts.

"(The officiating) was that bad. It really was. It was that bad," he said. "I mean I understand we're playing in Minnesota, but 35-9, we went to the basket just as much as they did. I think we had 38 attempts in the paint to their 34, we get nine free throws, I think that speaks for itself."

So does the Pistons grabbing just five more rebounds than Chicago's Joakim Noah (23) in Friday's 108-104 loss.

"Energy. It's disappointing," coach Lawrence Frank told the Pistons' official website after his team gave up a 17-point second-quarter lead.

Even though Detroit (6-15) had 13 blocks on Monday when it held the lowly Cavs to a season-low 33.7 percent from the field, heading to Cleveland is no guarantee that the Pistons can get back into the win column.

They're 1-10 outside Auburn Hills this season.

The Cavs, meanwhile, are going for their first home win in four tries.

Cleveland center Anderson Varejao will try to start a new double-streak after his run ended at 10 on Friday when he scored four points with 14 rebounds. Varejao had also grabbed at least 15 boards in each of the previous 10 games, including 18 in Monday's loss.

Pistons center Greg Monroe had five rebounds Friday to extend his streak with that many boards to 112. Monroe had 14 rebounds and rookie Andre Drummond pulled down 12 on Monday to help Detroit win its third straight in this Central Division matchup.
