“Detroit is still exploring ways to make a deal for Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer(notes), but the most likely scenario centers around the free-agent signing of Drew Gooden, or distantly, Boston’s Glen “Big Baby” Davis.”

Take into account that I got word from our Pistons insider Matt Dery of 97.1 the Ticket that Joe isn’t looking to pick up Boozer and he was right about the Afflalo move, so I trust what he’s got to say.

“I’ve got to make a decision on that,” he said. “I have to take a long look at Orlando. They are one of the teams we’d like to be big against, but we’ll have to see.”

Confounding Curry’s decision is the uncertainty of Richard Hamilton’s health. He missed the win at Milwaukee on Saturday because of a strained left groin. He won’t test it until this morning.

If Hamilton can’t play, then Curry’s decision is made for him. He will have to use his big lineup, and against Howard, he would probably start Kwame Brown instead of Amir Johnson, who contributed 11 rebounds and four blocks in his start Saturday.

….Beside’s Hamilton’s groin strain, Antonio McDyess and Prince needed extra treatment after the game Saturday.

• The Pistons are quietly on a three game winning streak of their own.
• Talk of Rip for Boozer keep floating.
• Amir stepped up on Saturday. It’s obvious he needs more minutes.
• SI thinks Sheed will be gone by the deadline.
• Got kids?
• Did you win?

Tip off is at 7:30 P.M. on FSN and NBATV for those of you who get it. If you can’t watch the broadcast, tune into 1130 AM The Fan where you can catch our friend Matt Dery with the Pre-Game starting at 6:30. Can’t do either, follow the game on NBA.com.
