Detroit Pistons meet the Brooklyn Nets on the second of back-to-back nights. After losing to the Nuggets last night, boys from the Motor City are looking to bounce back against a mediocre rival who isn’t in some particularly great shape.
Brooklyn Nets News
Brooklyn is 5-5 in the last 10 games and is coming off a three-game losing streak that saw them defeat the Wizards, Thunders, and Trail Blazers. Their latest fail was the previous night against the Blazers, 121-102.
Cam Johnson leads the way in Brooklyn with 19.1 points and 48.4% FG. The Nets apparently decided to sacrifice this season and focus on the upcoming summer. Draft picks and trades should be the foundation of a rebuild.
Detroit Pistons News
The Pistons finished their rebuild and now look pretty decent. This team needs a bit more experience to become a contender to take the East and maybe a player or two. Overall, they play good basketball, winning eight of the past ten events.
Last night, the Pistons loss to the Nuggets at home 134-119. They couldn’t do anything against Jokic and the boys, but this defeat didn’t hurt them too much, and the Nets are the perfect opportunity for a rebound victory.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Detroit Pistons Predictions
Pistons are in need of a win, and they have a better team overall than the Nets. Plus, they are playing at home, and didn’t have to travel, unlike the Nets, who are coming to the Motor City from Brooklyn. That’s why our pick here is for the hosts to triumph and cover a 7.5-point spread.
