Suns vs. Pistons preview

The Pistons haven't had a win in over a week, but they also have only seen the court once since Jan. 7, which ended up in a losing effort at home against the Los Angeles Clippers.

This rare lull in the schedule is an opportunity for the Pistons to get healthier as they approach the second half of the season. The team is in first place in the Eastern Conference, but they have to keep their foot on the gas in order to remain at the top of the heap.

They will have a chance to extend their lead in the East with a game against the Suns, who have been one of the more pleasant surprises in the NBA. The Suns are at No. 7 in the Western Conference after falling out of the lottery last season and trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets over the summer.

Despite the trade, the Suns have improved and they are very capable of pulling off an upset against the Pistons if they are unable to get back into a rhythm from having four days on the couch.
