The Pistons now look primed to continue that winning streak over the rest of the week as they start a stretch of winnable games tonight against the Utah Jazz. This is still the NBA and the Utah Jazz have proven to be a feisty team if they are not taken seriously, but the Pistons are favored in this game for a reason.

But, within a positive night for Utah, there was one name in the mix during that Jazz win who wound up emerging as the team's biggest X-factor in the eyes of head coach Will Hardy, and a sentiment that Kevin Love would agree with following the game: second-year big man Kyle Filipowski.

That shift came within the frontcourt in the form of two notable swaps. Instead of starting the combination of Kyle Filipowski and Walker Kessler at the four and five spots, Taylor Hendricks and Jusuf Nurkic would be the starting pairing to start the night for Utah–– one move made due to injury, and the other being a coaching decision.
