DETROIT -- Andre Drummond was out for Detroit's 108-101 win against Houston because of a right-side rib contusion.
The star center played in Friday night's loss at Philadelphia, but the Pistons held him out against the Rockets. Detroit was also missing point guard Reggie Jackson, who was out with a right ankle sprain.
Houston isn't close to full strength, either. James Harden missed his third straight game with a hamstring strain.
