The Brooklyn Nets are coming off one of their better performances of the season, and they have the rest advantage here. The Detroit Pistons continue to make a case for the worst team in the league, and playing on the end of a back to back likely doesn’t help matters. The Pistons are awful, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Big number, but you don’t have much of a choice. It’s got to be Nets here.
