Pistons vs Nets GameThread: Game Time, TV, Odds, and More

Detroit has handled its easier matchups well this season, and Brooklyn needs similar treatment. Today is Emirates NBA Cup Day for the Detroit Pistons, adding an extra layer of excitement to the game.

If the Pistons begin to string together wins in Cup games, it could generate genuine enthusiasm. However, in previous years, Detroit was mostly noncompetitive in these matchups, which to many meant bright court designs and forced excitement from broadcasters.

This year, the Pistons are different—competitive from the start in a way they were not last season. Still, it’s unclear if the Cup experience has improved much.

Detroit faces a Brooklyn Nets team that drafted five lead ball handlers but still seems to lack a true point guard. The Nets do not appear motivated to compete seriously right now, which isn't unexpected.

The Pistons understand that rebuilding requires clearing out old players and focusing on difference-making draft picks. The only drama in this game would be if Detroit fails to show up and play.

Even at their lowest, the Pistons managed to win 15 games in a season. Hopefully, the disappointment this time will not come from them.
