Analysis:

The news isn't all good for Lucas, as Spencer Dinwiddie is slated to start Friday's game against the Bulls. Reggie Jackson, who will serve as the Pistons' new starting point guard, should be available for Sunday's game against Washington. Lucas may split minutes with Dinwiddie on Friday, but his rest-of-season outlook isn't promising.
