Why do you have Arroyo in the starting lineup if Nelson isn't on the injury report?

Not that they're going to catch us in the standings, but this is a pretty big game in my books.
They've already beat us once, and we really need to keep the ball rolling.
I'd love to be on a 13 game win streak going into our Sunday matchup on ABC vs Shaq and the Suns.

Big games are tough to come by in games we'll play against other Eastern teams.
Honestly, right now Id only consider games against Boston and a healthy Cavs team as "big games" amongst teams we play against in the East.

But Monday evening, the Pistons reassembled for a late-evening practice to pick up where they left off -- on a 10-game winning streak."There's always a concern your first game after the break," coach Flip Saunders said. "One, you've been away four or five days. You have three guys who have been down at the festivities in New Orleans for five days, and you've got your other players who have been gone. So when you come back, there's always that concern of how are you going to be?"
The Pistons don't have much time to rediscover their groove. They're back in action tonight against the Orlando Magic and then jet to Milwaukee to play the Bucks on Wednesday. They're home to play Milwaukee again on Friday and then it's a week out West, their last lengthy trip of the season."They're ready to go," Saunders said. "The first 10 games after the All-Star break are always tough. Then everything seems to go so quick until you get to the end."
The Magic is a potential second-round playoff opponent come May, and there are only 30 games remaining."This is it -- the homestretch, coming around third, getting ready for the playoffs," Wallace said. "We've got to fine-tune some things, get our bench fine-tuned and get ready for those playoffs."

Flip Murray was the only Pistons player not at practice Monday. Joe Dumars, Detroit's president of basketball operations, said he got a call from Murray earlier in the day indicating he would not make it back in time for Monday night's practice. It is unclear if Murray will be fined.
He was not the only member of the Pistons not at Monday's practice. Saunders said assistant coach Dave Cowens' flight from Florida was delayed. Murray and Cowens are expected to be back in time for tonight's game against Orlando.

After a four-day stoppage for the All-Star break, they returned to practice Monday night with the knowledge that the playoffs are just two months and 30 games away. "This is it now," Rasheed Wallace said. "It's the homestretch coming around third, preparing for the playoffs. We've just got to fine tune some things, get our bench fine tuned and step into those playoffs."
The first order of business is to pick up where they left off. Entering the break, they were the hottest team in the league. They'll try to extend their 10-game winning streak tonight against another division leader, Orlando, at The Palace. "We had a good practice," coach Flip Saunders said. "The guys were pretty focused, very competitive. They're ready to go. The first 10 games after the All-Star break are always tough games."
While the Pistons are not concerned about playoff seeding, they'll clinch the season series and any potential tie breakers with the Magic by winning tonight. They'll also match their season high of 11 consecutive victories.
