In what could be a preview of a first round pairing in the playoffs, the Nets travel to Detroit to take on the first place Pistons. Rejuvenated since the arrival of Chris Webber, the Pistons have a 45-26 record, but both Webber and Rip Hamilton missed Thursday's loss in Chicago with the flu. Starting for Webber was Jason Maxiell, who had 19 point, 15 rebound game earlier this week. The Piston front court will no doubt be a good measuring stick for the newly confident Josh Boone.
