The Detroit Pistons ( 38 - 34 ) defeated the Orlando Magic ( 29 - 42 ) 118 - 102 on Wednesday . Detroit entered the night on the cusp of the eighth seed , just a mere percentage point behind the Chicago Bulls . However , their efforts to possibly vault into that slot by night 's end - - and keep their two - game winning streak alive in the process - - were going to have to be carried out without their emerging two - guard , Kentavious Caldwell-Pope , who was forced to miss the game with an illness . Detroit proved aptly capable of making up for his absence , as all five members of the first unit posted double - digit scoring . That included 2015 second - rounder Darrun Hillard , who managed 11 points , six rebounds , three assists and a steal in Caldwell-Pope 's stead . The Pistons also played outstanding team defense , holding the Magic to 40 - and - 32 percent success rates from the field and three - point range , respectively . Orlando was led by a spectacular triple - double off the bench from Elfrid Payton , who managed 20 points , 10 rebounds , 10 assists and a steal over 34 minutes . Aaron Gordon was next with a 15 - point total that paced the starters , and he also added 11 rebounds and three assists . Evan Fournier and Victor Oladipo were next with a pair of 14 - point efforts , with the former also contributing a rebound , an assist and a steal , and the latter pitching in with five assists , three rebounds , three steals and a block . Jason Smith was also productive in a reserve role , registering 12 points , four assists and three rebounds . The Magic remain in last place in the Eastern Conference 's Southeast Division , and are 9 games behind the eighth - seeded Chicago Bulls . They head to Miami to take on the Heat on Friday night . Detroit was spearheaded by a remarkable outing from Andre Drummond , who totaled 30 points , 14 rebounds , an assist and a pair of blocks . Tobias Harris was next with a nice bounce - back effort after a lackluster performance in his last game , compiling 18 points , four rebounds , three assists and a pair of blocks . Reggie Jackson stepped up with 16 points , nine assists and two rebounds , with his six turnovers serving as a blemish on an otherwise solid night . Marcus Morris was close behind with 15 points , five rebounds , four assists and two steals . Stanley Johnson and Arron Baynes paced the reserves with a pair of 13 - point contributions . The former complemented his scoring with eight rebounds , two assists and a steal , while the latter also supplied two rebounds and a block . The Pistons have moved into third place in the Eastern Conference 's Central Division , and have momentarily vaulted into the eighth seed in the conference with the victory.They 're home again versus the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night .
