Detroit Pistons vs Brooklyn Nets: Odds, Spread, and Total
The Detroit Pistons enter Friday night’s NBA Cup group stage matchup as strong favorites against the Brooklyn Nets. The game tips off at 7:30 p.m. in Barclays Center.
Detroit, remembered for pushing the New York Knicks in last year's playoffs, arrives on a four-game winning streak, including a hard-fought road victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. However, the early NBA Cup stage has shown unpredictable results, with teams like Cleveland and Indiana both starting 0-1 in East Group A.
Brooklyn recently earned its first win of the 2025–26 season, defeating the Indiana Pacers 112–103 on Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Despite sharing a 1–7 record with Indiana, the Nets demonstrated improved defense in that performance.
Could Brooklyn's first win, combined with the unusual dynamics of tournament play, transform the Nets into a potential pick?
