KEY GAME INFORMATION
DETROIT: LAST SEASON: 39-43, missed playoffs.
COACH: Dwane Casey (first season, 10th NBA season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Reggie Jackson (14.6 ppg), G Reggie Bullock (11.3 ppg), F Stanley Johnson (8.7 ppg), F Blake Griffin (21.4 ppg), C Andre Drummond (15.0 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: F Anthony Tolliver, F James Ennis III
KEY ADDITIONS: G-F Glenn Robinson III, C Zaza Pachulia PLAYER TO WATCH: Jackson. The Pistons were off to a nice start last season before their point guard went down with an ankle injury in late December. He ended up playing only 45 games.
OUTLOOK: It was an offseason of upheaval for the Pistons, with Casey replacing Stan Van Gundy as
COACH, but Detroit isn't exactly starting over. The roster is pretty much the same, and now Griffin has a little more time to mesh with the Pistons after coming over in a midseason trade. At full strength, Detroit could be a team to watch in the Eastern Conference, but good health isn't exactly a given with Jackson and Griffin.
CLEVELAND: LAST SEASON: 50-32, lost in NBA Finals.
COACH: Tyronn Lue (fourth season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G George Hill (10.0 ppg), G Rodney Hood (14.7 ppg), F Kevin Love (17.6 ppg), F Cedi Osman (3.9 ppg), C Tristan Thompson (5.8 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: F LeBron James, F Jeff Green, G Jose Calderon
KEY ADDITIONS: Rookie G Collin Sexton, F David Nwaba, F Sam Dekker
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Sexton and Osman. The No. 8 overall pick in the NBA draft, Sexton could fill the massive void left when the Cavs granted Kyrie Irving's trade demand and dealt him to Boston last year. Hill can adequately hold down the fort while Sexton, more of a slasher than shooter, develops. Lue will be patient with Sexton, but it may not take long for him to force his way into the starting lineup. Osman has the misfortune of being the player to take the spot owned by James. But the 23-year-old is fearless, very talented and he learned a ton while being teammates with the world's best player.
OUTLOOK: Forget the Finals. After four straight June matchups with Golden State, the Cavs will have a tough time even making the playoffs. Love has gone from being the third option, to the second to the first and it will be interesting to see if the All-Star can carry the Cavs the way he carried Minnesota for six seasons. The Cavs have no intention of tanking, and head into the season trying to stay competitive while developing young players ' and that's not easy.
PREVIEW
Love, Cavs look to contain Pistons' frontcourt duo
 

Kevin Love knows the Cleveland Cavaliers have to do a much better job containing the Detroit Pistons' frontcourt duo of Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will try to avert getting swept in the four-game season series when they host the Pistons on Monday.

Griffin is averaging 20.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists against the Cavaliers this season, while Drummond has posted averages of 20.7 points, 16.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in those games.

Their averages would be even higher if both hadn't sat out of the fourth quarter of the last meeting, a 129-93 blowout on the Cavaliers' home floor March 2. Love, the Cavs' top player, sat out that game.

"Got to keep those two monsters off the glass, keep them as far away from the basket as we can," he said. "We need that communication, and we need to play extremely physical against them, because that's how they play."

Cleveland (17-53) has dropped three straight, including a 121-116 road loss to Dallas on Saturday. That allowed the Mavericks, who shot 51.1 percent, to snap a seven-game losing streak.

"We have so many no-pass or one-pass shots. I think our ball movement and our energy is huge for us," Love said. "But on top of that, we've got to get stops. I think we took a huge step back defensively. When we're not scoring that ball, it's almost like we've giving up on the defensive end."

Dallas scored 66 first-half points and led by as much as 21 in the second quarter before Cleveland staged a belated rally.

"We kept pushing the ball, gave ourselves a chance," said Love, who had 22 points, 12 rebounds and four assists. "But we just got down too early, and that was just too much of a cushion for them."

Rookie point guard Collin Sexton is finishing the season strong. The lottery pick is averaging 26.4 points and 3.3 assists in the past five games. He had 28 points, four assists and no turnovers in 38 minutes against the Mavericks.

The Pistons (36-33) have won two straight and will be kicking off a five-game road trip, with the final four out west. They defeated Toronto 110-107 on Sunday behind Griffin's 25 points. Drummond was also solid with 15 points and 17 rebounds.

The Raptors have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, but Detroit swept the three-game season series. Now, the Pistons can't afford a letdown against one of the league's weakest clubs.

"We've done a good job of stepping up to the challenge but wins are wins," Griffin said. "If you don't face a team in the playoffs, it's just experience. They're a good team, have a lot of great players and we've done a good job against them."

Coach Dwane Casey had a similar message.

"It was huge, just our composure and mental toughness that you have to have, but we can't just have it tonight," he said. "We can't get excited just for the night. Our whole thing is being consistent, whether it's Brooklyn, Miami, Toronto or Cleveland. Whoever it is, that's the approach we've got to have."
