What you need to know about the Pistons
The Pistons lost in overtime against the Los Angeles Lakers this past Saturday, 135-129. Jerami Grant, had 32 points and six assists and Delon Wright dropped a double-double on 22 points and 10 dimes. Detroit has lost four consecutive games.
Josh Jackson scored 28 points vs. the Lakers, the most points by a Detroit reserve this season. The Pistons have won seven of their last 10 home games vs. the Nets.
What you need to know about the Nets
The Nets have won just one of their last four games. They are 1-3 against the spread during that span as well. Irving is averaging 27.5 points per game and his return should be a boost as he'll pair with James Harden in the backcourt to help carry Brooklyn while Durant remains out.
Harden is still capable of going for 30 or more points on any given night, but he's been a great passer since joining the Nets. He's recorded at least 10 assists in every game but one thus far for Brooklyn. The Nets lead the NBA with 121.5 points per game, but they're also giving up 118.2 per contest.
