*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday evening, January 25th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, January 26th.
Detroit Pistons
It’s no fun being a tanking team, especially when other teams use your team to get back in rhythm which is precisely what Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton did to the Pistons on Monday.
They didn’t even need huge minutes to put up big points because this Pistons team isn’t invested in playing defense.
No doubt, that’s tough for a defensive-minded coach like Duane Casey, although he’ll happily get over his disdain super quick if Victor Wembanyama ends up landing in Detroit.
Stats
Pistons’ opponents average 120.3 points per game ranking 29th while limiting foes to 49.5% from the field and 36.2% from deep ranking 29th and 19th respectively.
Offensively, the Pistons score 112.4 points per game which rank 24th. From an efficiency perspective, the Pistons shoot with 45.4% from the field and 35.6% from the perimeter ranking 26th and 18th respectively.
The tanking Pistons have a lengthy injury list with Isaiah Livers (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) are questionable. Cory Joseph (lower back soreness) and Marvin Bagley III (hand) are out. Cade Cunningham (shin) had surgery and was shut down for the season.
Brooklyn Nets
At the time of KD’s injury, the Nets had won 14 of 15 matches and were pushing the Celtics at the top of the East. They briefly dropped to fifth and while the 76ers and Bucks passed them they’ve climbed back to fourth place.
Kyrie has been sharp but against the Sixers, he needed KD to counteract the Big 3 of Philly.
Stats
Additionally, Brooklyn allows 111.2 points per game ranking fifth best, and possess the second-best opponent field goal percentage of 45.2%. So far, their perimeter defense is another story as foes shoot 36.7% from deep ranking 23rd overall.
Also, on the positive side, Brooklyn has the best field goal percentage, shooting 51.1%, and also rank second on the perimeter (39.2%). The Nets score 114.1 points per game which ranks 16th.
Since they played Wednesday, the Nets haven’t submitted an injury report so the only confirmed player out is Kevin Durant (MCL sprain).

Free Detroit Pistons vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
Theorthetically this should be an easy victory for the Nets but it’s somewhat concerning Irving and Nic Claxton played 38 minutes and could be suffering from fatigue.
That makes me a bit nervous about the rich point spread especially because the Pistons tend to dip into their bag when they face elite teams. Case in point, Detroit beat the Warriors twice, the Nuggets, and the Heat for example.
So, I’ll take the points but the Nets to win.
