Result:
LOSS

Detroit can pound the glass, ninth in the NBA in rebounding, and they catch a break playing a bad and banged up Nets squad. The struggling Brooklyn Nets have had a rough go without All-Star center Brook Lopez, and they could be in for an even bumpier road without another key piece. Deron Williams is listed as doubtful Sunday. Williams limped off the court in the second quarter of Friday's 95-91 loss at Cleveland with a strained right calf and didn't return. Williams' absence could prove especially costly for a Nets team that's averaged 89.5 points in dropping three straight and six of eight. The Nets are on a 2-7 ATS run at home. When these teams meet, the underdog is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings, plus the road team is 7-2 ATS. The Pistons are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Brooklyn, too. Play Detroit.
