ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Allen Iverson, Shooting guard Richard Hamilton, Small forward Tayshaun Prince, Power forward Amir Johnson, Center Rasheed Wallace. Bench -- Guard Rodney Stuckey, Guard Arron Afflalo, Forward Walter Herrmann, Forward Jason Maxiell, Center Kwame Brown. PLAYER NOTES:
--F Tayshaun Prince has scored 42 points in the last two games. He was the only Pistons starter immune to the offensive malaise against Boston. "Throughout all of this, what I love the most is Tayshaun is staying aggressive," Curry said. "That's going to be a big staple with what we're doing."
--G Rodney Stuckey gave everyone a scare at halftime Sunday. He experienced dizziness and tapped on his chest, an indication his heart was racing, as he got up off the bench at halftime. Stuckey sat down for a few minutes before he headed back to the locker room. He apparently had a reaction to some allergy medicine and did not return to the game. He's expected to join the team when it heads to Sacramento.
--F Amir Johnson played surprisingly well against Boston's Kevin Garnett. He guarded Garnett a majority of the time and held the All-Star forward to eight points on 4-of-15 shooting. That means Rasheed Wallace won't have to go one-on-one all the time against Garnett in another potential playoff matchup.
MEDICAL WATCH:
There are no injuries to report.
