KEY GAME INFORMATION
BOSTON: BACKCOURT: It's hard to believe PG Isaiah Thomas was once a bench player for this team, as he proved himself to be the lifeblood of the Celtics offense in making the All-Star team last year. In SG Avery Bradley and PG Marcus Smart, Boston has two of the best defending guards in the league. If Smart can learn to shoot as well as Bradley, his ceiling goes up considerably. Second-year PG Terry Rozier took strides over the summer and will see minutes this season. . . . FRONTCOURT: While Danny Ainge couldn't quite lure KD to Boston, C Al Horford is by no means a consolation prize. He fits perfectly in the offense and instantly becomes the team's best player. SF Jae Crowder is the perfect mentor for rookie SF Jaylen Brown, as both are gritty defenders with the ability to put the ball in the basket. People seem to have forgotten about PF Kelly Olynyk, who's become a better offensive player every season. . . . BOTTOM LINE: The Celtics added a four-time All-Star and an NBA-ready rookie to a team that won 48 games last season. Throughout his career, Brad Stevens has led his teams to overachieve. It will be interesting to see what that means for a Boston team that's now loaded with talent.
DETROIT: BACKCOURT: Emotional leader Reggie Jackson is supposed to miss 15-20 games to start the season, and Ish Smith will start in his absence. Smith showed he could be a playmaker in Philadelphia, which, one assumes, means he can definitely do it here. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope put up 14.5 points per game while regularly guarding the opponent's best player, but only shot 30.9% from deep. . . . FRONTCOURT: Andre Drummond puts up 20-20 stat lines in a way that no one else in the NBA can. The biggest possible step forward for him after his first All-Star campaign would be to improve his free throw shooting. Hybrid F Tobias Harris looked energized in his 25 games as a Piston last season, and remains a unique young talent. SFs Marcus Morris and Stanley Johnson revel in jawing with opponents. PF/C Jon Leuer should contribute as a stretch big. . . . BOTTOM LINE: If anyone can guide a group as unusual as this one, it's probably Stan Van Gundy. The Eastern Conference's crowded middle class presents something of a crapshoot, but Detroit's depth and talent make the Pistons likely to succeed.
PREVIEW
Thomas, Celtics look to bounce back at Pistons
 

The Boston Celtics look much more vulnerable when Isaiah Thomas doesn't deliver a late-game outburst.

Thomas leads the NBA in fourth-quarter scoring but was limited to four points in the final quarter of a 107-97 loss at Toronto on Friday, Boston's first outing since the All-Star break. Thomas was averaging 10.7 fourth-quarter points prior to the break.

The All-Star point guard and his team will try to bounce back when the Celtics visit the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.

"Every time I came off a pick they had two or three guys on me, so their point of emphasis was probably to stop me in the fourth quarter. And they did a good job of that," Thomas told the Boston Herald and other media outlets. "They played harder than us in the second half."

Thomas did extend his franchise record of scoring 20 or more points to 42 consecutive games, but just barely. He hit the 20-point mark on the nose.

Thomas would like to hit the Celtics' top frontcourt threat with more pinpoint passes. Al Horford was held to eight points in 29 minutes on Friday and Thomas knows he has to get Horford more involved in the attack.

"I have to get him the ball. There's no excuse for it," Thomas said to the Herald. "I'm the point guard of this team and I know I have to do a better job of getting him the ball, and getting him the ball in his spots. He has to do a good job of getting open and demanding the ball. But I'll do a better job of that (Sunday)."

Horford made the game-winning layup in Boston's other trip to The Palace of Auburn Hills this season. He also added a game-saving block in that 94-92 victory on Nov. 19.

Boston leads the season series, 2-1, with Thomas averaging 30.7 points. He poured in 41 points in the teams' last meeting on Jan. 30, a 113-109 Celtics victory.

The status of shooting guard Avery Bradley remains in question. Bradley has missed 21 games with a sore Achilles tendon but has returned to practice.

Detroit won its first game after the All-Star break, rallying from an 18-point, second-half deficit to defeat Charlotte 114-108 in overtime on Thursday.

Shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope erupted in the late going, scoring 11 points in the last 2:17 of regulation and seven more in overtime. The Pistons also received major contributions from two reserves -- forward Tobias Harris had 25 points and Ish Smith handed out 16 assists, the most by any NBA bench player since 2005.

Starting point guard Reggie Jackson only played seven second-half minutes. Center Andre Drummond was benched throughout the fourth quarter and overtime as Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy opted to go with a smaller look.

"We've got to figure it out. We need to get Reggie going," Van Gundy said. "With Andre, it was more of a matchup thing. (But) we've got to be able to play with the same energy and spirit that we do with Ish in the game."

Van Gundy is reluctant to make a lineup change. His bench has been so productive, he doesn't want to mess up the second unit's chemistry.

"I just want to see us play hard more consistently and we're having trouble, quite honestly, with that first group," he said. "We're just having trouble finding energy on a consistent basis. We've got to get that turned around and we've got to figure out a way to juggle things."
