What you need to know about the Nets

The Nets are coming off a 128-113 loss to the Lakers on Thursday. Kyrie Irving had 20 points, but did it on just 7-of-17 shooting while backcourt mate Spencer Dinwiddie also struggled with seven points on 3-of-9 shooting. Dinwiddie did dole out 13 assists and grab seven rebounds. The Nets managed 55 points off the bench with Caris LeVert contributing 16 points in just under 23 minutes. LeVert is still getting back into the swing of things after missing nearly two months after thumb surgery, so getting more consistent scoring out of him will be key.

What you need to know about the Pistons

Meanwhile, Detroit suffered a 125-112 loss at the hands of Memphis on Friday. Derrick Rose did manage to extend his streak of games with 20 points or more to 11 in the defeat and Christian Wood poured in 20 points off the bench with Andre Drummond (lip) out. Drummond is the subject of trade talks and apparently lost a tooth and lacerated his lip during a collision against the Wizards on Monday. Detroit is hopeful that he'll rejoin the lineup on Saturday.
