Detroit Pistons vs Brooklyn Nets: Odds, Spread, and Total

The Detroit Pistons enter Friday night’s NBA Cup group stage matchup as clear favorites against the Brooklyn Nets. The game is set to tip off at 7:30 p.m. inside Barclays Center.

Detroit earned that status after a strong start to the season, highlighted by a four-game winning streak that includes a tough road victory Monday over the Memphis Grizzlies. The Pistons are still recognized for their gritty performance against the New York Knicks in last year’s playoffs, showing consistency and defensive toughness.

Brooklyn, by contrast, began the week without a single victory in regular-season play. However, the Nets broke through on Wednesday, defeating the Indiana Pacers 112–103 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Despite both teams holding 1–7 records in the standings, the Nets displayed improved defense in that outing.

The unpredictable nature of the NBA Cup’s opening stage remains a key factor. Teams like Cleveland and Indiana, both with 0–1 records in East Group A, highlight how unstable early results can be. Given that unpredictability and Brooklyn’s first win, bettors may question whether the Nets could surprise again.

“Could Brooklyn's maiden win coming in, plus the weird circumstances of a tournament tilt, make the Nets into a pick?”
