--C Chris Wilcox has reached double digits in nine of the last 13 games, culminating with his 27-point performance against Milwaukee Friday. Wilcox did most of his damage by slashing to the basket to catch passes from teammates who had posted up. He also crashed the offensive boards, grabbing five of his season-high 13 rebounds at that end. It was Wilcox's biggest game since he had 28 points for Seattle against Toronto March 9, 2008.

--G Tracy McGrady started at point guard Friday with Will Bynum sidelined by a right knee strain. McGrady did not attempt a field goal in 14 minutes, though he did contribute three rebounds, two assists and two blocks. Rodney Stuckey played the bulk of the minutes at the point.

--F Charlie Villanueva took advantage of the Bucks' undersized frontcourt to score 15 points for the second time in four games. He struggled from beyond the arc, going 1-for-5, but made six of his eight two-point tries. Villanueva is averaging 11 points per game in his second season with the Pistons.

MEDICAL WATCH

--F Jonas Jerebko (partial Achilles' tear, right leg) underwent surgery on Oct. 8 after crashing to the floor while driving to the basket during the opening preseason game. He will not play this season.

--G Terrico White (fractured fifth metatarsal, right foot) was injured during the Pistons' preseason opener and also underwent surgery Oct. 8. He has returned to practice but it's unlikely he will play this season.

--G Will Bynum (strained right knee) missed Friday's game against Milwaukee. He is questionable to play at Charlotte Sunday.

--C Ben Wallace (sore right knee) has not played eight of the last nine games. He is unlikely to play again this season.
