Detroit was still adjusting to the trade of Chauncey Billups and the Warriors were trying to figure out how to survive without Monta Ellis.

This Friday when the teams square off in Detroit, the Pistons are clinging to a playoff spot and the Warriors are trying to figure out how to get all of their healthy players in the lineup.

Back in November Richard Hamilton scored 24 points and Allen Iverson added 23 as the Pistons won 107-102 after losing their first two games with Iverson.

Since the Iverson deal has clearly not worked to date, the Pistons have moved him to coming off the bench.
Iverson, understandably, isn’t thrilled about being a sixth man. He’s in his walk year and is hoping for one more big payday before his career ends. For the best NBA lines check out the Bodog Sportsbook.
