The Detroit Pistons must rely on two journeyman point guards during the first month of the season. The early returns on Ish Smith and Beno Udrih have been promising.
That duo has combined for just two turnovers in the team's first two games. They contributed 29 points and 13 assists in the Pistons' home opener on Friday, a 108-82 thumping of the Orlando Magic.
Detroit (1-1) will try to keep the good vibes going on Sunday when it faces the Milwaukee Bucks (1-1) at The Palace.
Smith was thrust into the starting lineup when Reggie Jackson was diagnosed with knee tendinitis during training camp.
