Preview: Surging Pistons Visit Struggling Nets in Brooklyn Rematch BROOKLYN, N.Y. (Interstat) — The Detroit Pistons, boasting one of the NBA’s best records, seek to avenge a recent home loss when they visit the struggling Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night at Barclays Center. The matchup presents a stark contrast in the standings. Detroit (45-18) arrives as a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference, while Brooklyn (16-47) sits near the league’s bottom. The Pistons are installed as heavy 14.5-point favorites, with the over/under set at 216.5 points. This game is a quick rematch of Saturday’s contest, where the Nets stunned the Pistons 107-105 in Detroit. Brooklyn forward Michael Porter Jr. dominated with 30 points and 13 rebounds, outdueling Pistons star Cade Cunningham, who had 26 points and 10 assists. Cunningham, Detroit’s engine, enters on a remarkable run. Over his last 10 games, he has averaged 25.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 10.9 assists, posting five triple-doubles in that span. He will look to control the game after Detroit’s 110-121 loss in Miami on Sunday, where he scored 26 points with 10 assists. For Brooklyn, Porter has been a bright spot during a 2-8 stretch over the last 10 games. He is averaging 21.5 points and 8.3 rebounds over that period and will be central to any hope of a repeat upset. The Nets have lost 10 of their last 12 games overall. The season series stands at 2-1 in favor of Detroit. Prior to Saturday’s narrow loss, the Pistons won the previous two meetings by an average of 40.5 points, including a 130-77 rout on Feb. 1. Following this game, Detroit begins a crucial five-game homestand on Thursday against Philadelphia. Brooklyn embarks on a three-game road trip starting Thursday in Atlanta.
