The up-and-down Detroit Pistons, who have won and lost alternating games for the past two weeks, hope to have leading scorer Jerami Grant back in the lineup Saturday night when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers.

Grant sat out Thursday's 113-101 road win over the Sacramento Kings with a balky right knee. The ailment isn't serious but Grant's availability might not be clear until game time.

The 27-year-old Grant has been a breakout star for Detroit with a career-best 22.5 points per game. He averaged 12 points for the Denver Nuggets last season before signing with the Pistons as a free agent. He hoists an average of 17.3 shots a game this season after averaging 8.9 per outing last season.
