10. Detroit Pistons (22-19)

Without Reggie Jackson in the lineup, the Detroit Pistons have struggled to a certain extent. But the fact that they’ve stayed in the top 8 of the Eastern Conference is a testament to the way that this team has played this season.

The Pistons, even without Jackson, should still be a playoff team. Right now, they’re sitting in the sixth slot of the East, but could make a move at the trade deadline that could solidify their playoff ranking.

Question is, will they pull the trigger?
