The Pistons host the beat up Wizards tonight at The Palace. Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler will be doing most of the work for the Wizards with Gilbert Arenas sidelined after a third knee operation in 1 1/2 years and center Brendan Haywood possibly out for the entire season after surgery on his right wrist.

This will be the first time Jason Maxiell will take the court after signing his new four year 20 million dollar deal with Detroit.

“Deep inside, I’m a Bad Boy and I fit here,” said Maxiell, drafted 26th overall out of Cincinnati in 2005. “I love playing for Joe (Dumars) and Mike Curry and feel this is going to be home for a while.” Via The Detroit Free Press
