The Portland Trail Blazers ( 17 - 4 ) defeated the Detroit Pistons ( 3 - 19 ) 98 - 86 on Tuesday . Portland is on a five - game win streak . LaMarcus Aldridge took home the game - high scoring honors for a second straight game , finishing with 23 points . The Blazers shot 49 percent from the field , compared to the Pistons ' 35 percent from the field , which tells the gross part of the story as to how they came away with the win . They did n't sell the Pistons any buckets . Detroit has lost 13 straight games in what has been a nightmarish start to the season . Coach Stan Van Gundy has tried to be patient with his rotations and starting lineup , but the players have n't rewarded him with much in the win column . Greg Monroe 's 22 - point , 10 - rebound double - double in 33 minutes off the bench was the only bright spot from the Pistons . They could have Jodie Meeks ( back ) make his season debut in Friday 's game , and it 'll be interesting to see if a single role player can help them dig out of the hole they 've dug .
