KEY GAME INFORMATION
DETROIT: GUARDS: New head coach Stan Van Gundy's system is perfect for BRANDON JENNINGS, as it is heavy on high pick-and-rolls, which is where Jennings is most dangerous. He'll never be an efficient scorer . . . Detroit gave a good chunk of change to JODIE MEEKS, so he's likely to start as a spot-up shooter when he returns from a back injury in January . . . A Tskitishvili Award-winner as one of the stars of Summer League, KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE has a shot to carve out sixth-man minutes . . . After a mini-breakout with Chicago, D.J. AUGUSTIN is the insurance policy behind Jennings. He's also a great fit for Van Gundy's system . . . WILL BYNUM has been downright solid with the second unit, but he'll have to play his way back into the rotation . . . This is a redshirt season for SPENCER DINWIDDIE as he comes back from a torn ACL. FORWARDS: They'll keep shopping JOSH SMITH, who is miscast as a 3 on this roster . . . KYLE SINGLER will continue to see solid part-time minutes. He can play both wing spots and has become a good enough threat on corner threes . . . CARON BUTLER joins a crowded frontcourt. He's evolved into a three-point specialist in the latter part of his career . . . Van Gundy is a JONAS JEREBKO believer. The stretch-4 fell out of favor the past two seasons, but he has a chance to earn a big role off the bench . . . CARTIER MARTIN gives them another athletic wing who can shoot the three . . . Euro import LUIGI DATOME was a big disappointment last season. He'll have a tough time breaking into this rotation . . . TONY MITCHELL might be looking at another year in the D-League . . . GREG MONROE is an everyday double-double threat. He'll fill the stat sheet as he plays for a contract for next season. CENTERS: ANDRE DRUMMOND is a monster on the boards with Defensive Player of the Year upside once he improves in space. Offensively, he can dunk but not much else . . . AARON GRAY is here to fill out the roster once he's cleared to return from his heart problems.
HOUSTON: GUARDS: The postseason was a different story for JAMES HARDEN, but he was a dominant all-around performer during the past two regular seasons. He'll do the bulk of the ball-handling for the up-tempo Rockets . . . After looking for an upgrade during the offseason, it's back to PATRICK BEVERLEY at the point. He's the No. 4 or 5 option on offense, but his defense will keep him on the floor . . . There's little backcourt depth, so rookie NICK JOHNSON has a shot at the rotation. He's NBA-ready as a defender, but his offensive game is shaky . . . ISH SMITH will push for that back-up point guard job . . . ISAIAH CANAAN will have to shoot the lights out early to get a look in the rotation . . . FRANCISCO GARCIA is still here as a 3-and-D option. FORWARDS: TREVOR ARIZA slides into Chandler Parsons' old role, providing defense and three-point shooting. He has a chance for a career-best output offensively . . . The Rockets know they need an upgrade over TERRENCE JONES, but they struck out during the offseason. He's a hustle guy, but he's too much of a defensive liability at the 4-spot . . . After disappearing last season, DONATAS MOTIEJUNAS has a chance to play himself into a thin frontcourt rotation. He's a potential 7-foot floor spacer . . . JEFF ADRIEN will be a "little things" guy in the second unit . . . They wanted to leave CLINT CAPELA overseas, but he'll be in Houston. He might be the future at the 4-spot, but he's years away . . . KOSTAS PAPANIKOLAOU has potential as a versatile bench option. CENTERS: DWIGHT HOWARD looked healthy again and was, at times, dominant. His game still has obvious flaws, namely free-throw shooting and an inability to step away from the basket, but there's no reason he can't flirt with 20-10 nightly while being among the league leaders in blocks . . . Ex-Rocket JOEY DORSEY returns after a strong stint in Spain. He'll bring some muscle (and six fouls) behind Howard.

*Pistons-Rockets Preview* =========================

By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer

Detroit (23-37) at Houston (41-20), 8:00 p.m. EDT

James Harden and the Houston Rockets are on the verge of their longest losing streak of the season, but they should like their chances of avoiding it with the Detroit Pistons coming to town.

Coming off consecutive defeats, Houston goes for a ninth straight home victory over the last-place Pistons on Friday night.

The Rockets (41-20) had won five in a row before falling 104-96 at Atlanta on Tuesday as Harden served a one-game suspension for kicking Cleveland's LeBron James in the groin Sunday.

They hosted Memphis on Wednesday and lost 102-100, erasing a 12-point deficit late in the fourth quarter before Harden didn't get the call after appearing to draw a foul while driving to the basket with a chance to take the lead in the closing seconds.

"It's frustrating when you fight so hard to come back and you have an opportunity to win the game," said Harden, who finished with 18 points and 13 assists. "Tough two games, but that's what it's about - adversity. You've got to fight through it, you've got to find a way to be great."

Harden shot 2 of 2 from the foul line as the Rockets finished 5 of 5, matching a season low for attempts. Houston is 31-4 when Harden converts at least seven free throws, and he leads the NBA with 8.2 made per game.

The Rockets, who have suffered back-to-back losses five times this season, haven't dropped three in a row since March 29-April 2.

They've won 18 of the last 21 visits from the Pistons (23-37) and took seven straight overall matchups by an average of 12.4 points before a 114-101 loss Jan. 31.

Detroit's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a season-high 28 points that night while Harden scored 26. Josh Smith finished with seven points on 3-of-11 shooting in his first matchup against the Pistons since they cut him Dec. 22.

Detroit is trying to avoid a winless three-game road trip and fifth consecutive loss after falling 88-85 to New Orleans on Wednesday. Recently acquired Reggie Jackson had 14 points and 11 assists but missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer with 4 seconds remaining.

The Pistons went 2 of 14 from beyond the arc, and they're shooting 28.4 percent from long distance during the four-game skid.

"We're not making any 3s," said coach Stan Van Gundy, whose team hasn't lost five straight since a season-worst 13-game skid Nov. 15-Dec. 9. "Offensively right now, it's just a real struggle, but when you turn it over 19 times, you're taking away a lot of possessions."

Detroit has also shot 28.4 percent from 3-point range in dropping seven of eight on the road, a stretch during which it's averaged 92.8 points.

Caldwell-Pope has totaled 25 points in the last five away from home while shooting 28.9 percent, including 3 of 15 from long distance.

The Pistons are 8-16 against the Western Conference, while Houston has won eight straight home games against the East by an average of 14.0 points.
