Preview:
Detroit gave the Miami Heat a scare Wednesday night falling 101-98. Key players Charlie Villanueva, Will Bynum, Ben Gordon and Tayshaun Prince all missed the game for the Pistons. Prince was out with a family matter and his status for Friday's game against Atlanta is unknown. Austin Daye picked up a lot of the slack scoring a career-high 28 points against the Heat.
Atlanta won three of the four matchups last season against the Pistons. Josh Smith averaged 23 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in those games. Friday's game will be Atlanta's third on its current five-game road trip. The Hawks split the first two games winning in Milwaukee and falling in San Antonio on Wednesday.

Hawks Request Waivers On Rookie Guard Donald Sloan
by Kris Willis on Jan 26, 2012 3:20 PM EST
The Atlanta Hawks made a roster move today requesting waivers on rookie point guard Donald Sloan. Sloan appeared in five games for the Hawks and averaged 1.2 points, 1.0 assists per game. By cutting Sloan, the Hawks salary figure dips slightly below the luxury tax threshold.
Sloan became expendable with the return of Kirk Hinrich to the active roster. The Hawks point guard rotation has Jeff Teague entrenched as the starter with Hinrich as the backup. Jannero Pargo figures to slide out of the rotation once Hinrich is completely 100 percent.
Before joining the Hawks in training camp, Sloan played five games for the Erie Bayhawks in the NBA Development league averaging 24.8 points and 8.4 assists per game. He played in 49 games with Reno during the 2010-11 season and finished with averages of 10.7 points and 4.4 assists.
