76ers vs Pistons

The Detroit Pistons, clinging to the Eastern Conference's eighth and final playoff spot, might have a new starting point guard when they visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.

According to MLive.com, coach Stan Van Gundy is giving thought to making former Sixer Ish Smith the starter over Reggie Jackson.

"We haven't ruled it out -- I'm still thinking," Van Gundy told that outlet. "We've got to get better energy off the start of games."

Smith started the first 21 games while Jackson was recovering from tendinitis in his left knee.
