The Detroit Pistons will have two key pieces of their starting lineup present against the Oklahoma City Thunder as Andre Drummond and Avery Bradley are both set to play despite sitting out a recent practice session.

The availability of both Drummond and Bradley is huge news for the Pistons, who desperately need a win. They have now lost three of their last four games following a surprising 10-3 start. They suffered their heaviest defeat of the season last time out in a 116-88 thrashing at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Drummond is having a terrific season for the Pistons. The big man is averaging 13.5 points and 15.3 rebounds, which leads the league. He's also averaging 3.4 assists and is shooting 61 percent from the free throw line, which are career-best marks. Drummond was limited to just eight rebounds against the Cavs, the first time he’s failed to grab double-digit rebounds in any game this season.
Meanwhile, Avery Bradley is having a strong debut season with Detroit following his offseason move from the Boston Celtics. The shooting guard is currently second on the team in scoring at 17.2 points per game, which is a career-best. He’s also shooting an impressive 44 percent from beyond the arc.
