What to look for

Keith Langlois of Pistons.com:

"No Brandon Jennings (Achilles) for #Pistons tonight. Monroe will play little, if any, since he’ll miss first 2 of regular season."

On the bright side, this opens the door for Spencer Dinwiddie to play a larger role on the ball. (I’m assuming Jennings’ absence is largely precautionary. If not, oh boy. Detroit’s backcourt is in trouble.)
