Analysis:

Caldwell-Pope was sidelined during the second quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Celtics with the groin injury and ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said after the game that Caldwell-Pope is almost certainly out for Thursday's game, and depending on the severity of the injury he could miss additional time as well. Expect Stanley Johnson to be the main beneficiary in his potential absence.
