What They're Saying: Pistons vs. Magic 11/6

-Stan Van Gundy tells Mike Bianchi of The Orlando Sentinel that he does not expect Vince Carter to play in tonight's game.

-Rookie Austin Daye had played only five minutes of playing time entering Wednesday's game. He then earned some run and got 16 against Toronto on Wednesday. The rookie is still adjusting to his playing time and the role he is going to play, but that is part of the growing experience, writes Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press.

-Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News has more on Austin Daye.

-The countdown to Rashard Lewis' return is slowly coming to an end. And Stan Van Gundy says it will bring a change to the lineup despite Ryan Anderson's strong play. Lewis will be back in the starting lineup when he returns to the lineup against Charlotte on November 16.

-A large free throw deficit doomed the Pistons in Wednesday's loss to the Raptors. Orlando did not take advantage of the free throw line in Tuesday's loss, that is something the team will look to correct this time around.

-Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press reports that even though it seems like Tayshaun Prince, who will miss his third straight game tonight, is expendable that he is not on the trade block.

-Zach McCann of Orlando Magic Daily explains why Ryan Anderson has no need for the mid-range jumper.
