The Detroit Pistons have lost eight of nine games, but they are well-rested, healthier and have their best opportunity for a win until a Dec. 28 showdown against the Orlando Magic. After winning four straight, including an overtime thriller against the Dallas Mavericks, the Oklahoma City Thunder have dropped two with lopsided losses to the Denver Nuggets and the Milwaukee Bucks.
