Game notes

Projected starting lineups:

Pistons: G Reggie Jackson, G Reggie Bullock, F Glenn Robinson III, F Blake Griffin, C Andre Drummond.

Hawks: G Trae Young, G Kent Bazemore, F Taurean Prince, F Omari Spellman, C Alex Len.

Good trend: Much hoopla was made of Andre Drummond’s “greenlight” to shoot 3-pointers. He has taken 10 through 10 games with only three attempts coming in the past seven games. He banked in his only attempt in the Pistons’ 103-96 victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. The Pistons ended their five-game losing streak with the victory.

Rookie hotshot: Pistons get their first look at Atlanta rookie point guard Trae Young, the No. 5 pick in last summer's draft. He is averaging 18.6 points and 8.1 assists, but shooting 27 percent from 3-point range on 6.4 attempts per game.
