(Sports Network) - A battle of division leaders is on tap tonight at The Palace of Auburn Hills, as the red-hot Detroit Pistons host the Orlando Magic.
The Central Division-leading Pistons have won 10 in a row and headed to the All-Star break with a 96-80 win over Indiana last Wednesday in the opener of a short two-game homestand. Chauncey Billups, Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton had 14 points in a winning effort.
Rodney Stuckey added 12 points and Jason Maxiell finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Pistons, who have won seven in a row at The Palace and are 21-4 in the Motor City this season.
Detroit is trying to match its longest winning streak since ripping off 14 straight victories from December 14 - January 4 this season.
Orlando, meanwhile, will open a brief two-game road trip on Tuesday and is 19-10 as the guest this season. It posted a 109-98 victory over the Denver Nuggets last week before the break, as Slam Dunk champion Dwight Howard scored 23 points and pulled down a season-high 24 rebounds.
Rashard Lewis scored a team-high 25 points and grabbed seven rebounds for Orlando, which has won nine of its last 13 games overall. Hedo Turkoglu and Brian Cook added 18 points apiece in a winning effort.
The Southeast Division-leading Magic will also pay a visit to the Toronto Raptors.
Detroit is 2-1 so far against Orlando this season and has won six of seven and 16 of the last 20 encounters.
