Pistons vs. Magic preview: Ish Smith starting in place of injured Reggie Jackson

Reggie Jackson is out at least six weeks, after which time he will be re-evaluated. His grade 3 ankle sprain suffered against the Indiana Pacers is an injury that keeps many players out up to 12 weeks or more. In other words, the Pistons need to figure out how to succeed for the rest of the season without Jackson in the fold.

It starts tonight against the struggling Orlando Magic. After a hot start the wheels have really fallen off for the Magic, who are 3-20 after an 8-4 start.
