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:
--G Rodney Stuckey has been cleared to play after a dizzy spell on Sunday and could be back in uniform Thursday. Stuckey felt lightheaded at halftime in the last home game against Boston. He stayed in Michigan Monday while the rest of the team flew to Sacramento for further evaluation. "I talked to him today and he's real upbeat and anxious to get out here with us," coach Michael Curry said.
--F Walter Herrmann did not play for the first time this season. Michael Curry's decision to use smaller lineups came at the expense of Herrmann, who had cooled offensively after a quick start. He scored 26 points in the first two games and just 12 in the next four while going 2-for-10 on three-point attempts.
--G Allen Iverson received his first technical as a Piston, arguing a foul call in the third quarter against the Kings. Iverson felt that Sacramento's John Salmons committed a traveling violation on the play.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--No injuries to report.
