Brooklyn Nets vs Detroit Pistons Injury Report

Ausar Thompson is out for the Pistons. Cade Cunningham is questionable.

The Nets will be without Egor Demin.

Brooklyn Nets vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

Thick number for a Pistons team that could be without Thompson and Cunningham. However, the Nets are in tank mode and they’re not covering enough numbers to be worth a look. When these teams met a month ago, the Pistons won 130-77. The Pistons are likely sitting players due to this game being absolute cake. The Nets aren’t a threat to any decent team the rest of the way. I don’t love huge numbers when key rotation players are out, but the Nets suck. It’s Pistons or pass for me.
