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.
ORLANDO: GUARDS: VICTOR OLADIPO, who will miss the first four weeks of season with a facial fracture suffered in a late October practice, will play off the ball more, allowing him to slash from the wing. It's a more natural role for him . . . With Jameer Nelson jettisoned, ELFRID PAYTON will step in as the starter at the point. He has an enormous transition from the Sun Belt Conference, but the quickness and athleticism are there . . . EVAN FOURNIER never found consistency in Denver, but could be a valuable wing shooter on a team that needs it . . . BEN GORDON was signed with a very 'tradeable' contract in mind. The Magic are hoping he shoots well enough to draw some suitors . . . LUKE RIDNOUR is a veteran insurance policy behind Payton . . . WILLIE GREEN can be an effective second-unit player . . . ROY DEVYN MARBLE seems like a D-Leaguer. FORWARDS: The Magic brought in CHANNING FRYE to provide some floor spacing and a veteran presence, both much-needed . . . TOBIAS HARRIS will likely have to play some more small forward. He has the offensive skill set to do it, but defense will continue to be an issue . . . He can play both forward spots, and AARON GORDON should be one of the league's better defensive forwards right off the bat. But for now, his offense is limited to dunking . . . It's a big year for MAURICE HARKLESS, who has yet to establish himself as a rotation-caliber player. With Harris and Gordon capable of playing the 3, Harkless could lose major minutes . . . ANDREW NICHOLSON has a ways to go after a disappointing second season. He's likely on the outside of this rotation. CENTERS: NIKOLA VUCEVIC is a cornerstone player in Orlando because he's big, and he does everything just well enough. He's not a game-changer on either side of the court . . . KYLE O'QUINN has had some good moments in garbage-time games the past two seasons. It's enough to keep him on the roster.

*Pistons-Magic Preview* =======================

By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer

Detroit (27-44) at Orlando (22-51), 7:00 p.m. EDT

Coach Stan Van Gundy remains focused on this season's final 11 games no matter how unlikely it may be for the Detroit Pistons to leap four teams to secure the Eastern Conference's final playoff spot.

At the very least, he's watching his young roster grow into a team he hopes will contend down the road.

Detroit seeks its fourth consecutive victory when it visits the Orlando Magic on Friday night.

The Pistons (27-44) still are holding on to slim playoff hopes in their first season under Van Gundy, but Charlotte, Brooklyn, Indiana and Boston all appear in better shape as they battle for eighth place.

Detroit has won four of five after beating Toronto 108-104 on Tuesday despite big man Greg Monroe missing each game in that stretch with a knee injury. Reggie Jackson had 28 points and nine assists against the Raptors, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 26 points and Andre Drummond finished with 21 and 18 rebounds.

Monroe will travel with the Pistons for this contest and Sunday's matchup at Miami, but it's unlikely he'll play.

"I've never played a game in my entire life that I didn't think it was important to win," Van Gundy told the team's official website. "Never - not an exhibition game, not anything. The nature of being a competitive person, they should all be important.

"(Tuesday was) a very promising sign for the future, because it was the three young guys getting the job done."

Jackson is averaging 20.2 points and 12.2 assists since Monroe went down. Caldwell-Pope is scoring 22.4 per game while Drummond has averaged 15.6 and 15.8 rebounds in that same stretch.

"We're really playing hard, and we're starting to figure out each other's games," Drummond said. "It's taken all year to get used to each other, but it is starting to come together."

The Magic already are looking ahead to the offseason. Orlando (22-51) has dropped eight of nine after being outscored 27-12 in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's 95-83 loss to Atlanta.

Elfrid Payton scored 19 points and Victor Oladipo added 16, but they shot 11 for 29 and also finished with five turnovers apiece.

"We're still learning, but we have to stop using that as an excuse and get it done," Oladipo said. "We're trying to play better so it carries over into the summer and into next season."

Payton is averaging 15.2 points over his last 10, though he's also committing 3.5 turnovers per game in that stretch. He leads all rookies in assists at 6.2 per game on the season and is trying to help the Magic finish this campaign on a positive note.

"We know we can play with anybody," Payton said. "We have the talent, we just need to close out games. We just have to be more focused, be more dialed in. That starts with me."

Orlando is getting closer to full strength after Tobias Harris scored 14 points in his return from a three-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. Channing Frye played six-plus minutes after missing Sunday's loss to Denver with an illness, and Dewayne Dedmon went scoreless in a starting role after sitting out the previous three with a left ankle sprain.

Detroit has won two of three meetings this season after Drummond finished with 26 points and 17 boards in a 128-118 win Jan. 21.
