The Pacers roll into Detroit riding high. Indiana (14-7) has won six of its last seven games and can secure a winning record on its five-game road trip with a victory on Friday night over the Pistons (8-14).
But to accomplish that goal, the Blue & Gold will have to deal with a Pistons team that has already beaten them twice so far this season.
Balanced scoring has powered Indiana's offense in recent games. All five starters have scored in double figures in each of the Pacers' past three victories and seven players scored 10 or more points in their last two wins.
