The Portland Trail Blazers head into the Motor City for their first look at the surging Detroit Pistons.  The Blazers team is banged up and battling. With five players sitting and a host of others nursing bumps and bruises, Portland is fresh off a solid victory over Cleveland, giving the team a 1-1 record on this five game road trip. They will face a Pistons team that has been one of the season’s biggest surprises. Building on last season’s gritty playoff performance, Detroit has been kicking ass and taking names. The Pistons enter tonight’s showdown with a 17-5 record that includes a franchise-record-tying 13-game winning streak.  Detroit has gone 7-3 over the team’s last 10 games. Accolades have followed. Guard Cade Cunningham was the NBA player of the month in November while Pistons head man JB Bickerstaff took home the league’s coach of the month honors.

His scoring averages have come back to Earth as he’s moved into the starting lineup and faced stronger competition. To secure a win, the Blazers need him to square off against his former team with a chip on his shoulder. A Loose Cannon. These Pistons have found an edge. Team enforcer Isaiah Stewart was ejected from Detroit’s Wednesday night loss to the Bucks for jawing with Bobby Portis and for raising a fist at him. (The same Isaiah Stewart once broke free of teammates, coaches, and officials and charged LeBron James like an NFL running back. Another time, he was charged with assault for punching out Blazers legend Drew Eubanks.)  What Others Are Saying: A Moment of Silence. Elden“Easy E” Campbell, a member of the Detroit Pistons’ 2004 NBA Championship team, died unexpectedly  on Monday Dec. 1, according to a release from the Pistons. He was 57. His former Lakers teammate, Magic Johnson remembered Campbell in a post on X. I just received devastating news that my former Lakers teammate and friend Elden Campbell has passed away.

Center, Jalen Duren will present one of the most difficult covers faced by the Blazers on this road trip. Jalen Duren is producing 1.45 points per possession as the screener in the pick-n-roll. Easily the most efficient in the NBA among qualifying players.

Detroit has the NBA’s tenth best offensive rating and its fifth best defensive rating. The Athletic’s Law Murray says the addition of Duncan Robinson has impacted both ends of the court. (Subscription required) “Robinson has actually played more minutes through Detroit’s first 20 games than any other player, and he is a 40 percent 3-point shooter who also finds a way to contribute defensively (one of four Pistons with at least 20…
