*** MONEYLINE ALERT ***

The Detroit Pistons are 3-10, but they're actually better than that, especially recently.

They've played the last 3 games close:

- They lost by 1 yesterday to Houston

- They lost the previous game in OT to Atlanta

- They were up 61-55 against Miami in the game before that, before a bad 3rd sunk them. They still finished within 6.

There is some belief that Griffin may sit today (this hasn't been announced, but it might happen). However, Griffin isn't the same player he once was, and Jerami Grant has taken his role to a large degree. Griffin is averaging just 32 minutes, and losing him isn't nearly the same impact it once was. So while I'd rather see him suit up, this doesn't worry me.

Both the Pistons and the 76ers are playing back-to-back games, but Philly had to travel to Detroit, whereas the Pistons are playing their second consecutive home game.
