What to Know
The Pistons have lost their last 13 games at home, while the Nets have dropped their last three games away from home. However, someone’s fortune is about to change. The Detroit Pistons will meet the Brooklyn Nets at Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. ET to cap off 2023 at home. We’ll see whether the Pistons are somewhat motivated by the fact that they are predicted to lose this game by 6.5 points.
The Pistons had a difficult season last year, and sadly, things haven’t gotten any easier. They suffered a 126-115 setback to their record on Saturday against Brooklyn.
Isaiah Stewart (20 points, five assists, and five rebounds) and Jaden Ivey (23 points, seven assists, and six rebounds) both had excellent games for the Pistons despite the loss. In actuality, Stewart has scored the most points of the season with that total.
The Pistons concluded the game with only six offensive rebounds as they had difficulty regaining possession of the ball. When they are unable to govern their own glass in such way, they are hopeless (0–4).
Detroit’s record is now 2-27 as a result of their defeat. With the victory, Brooklyn’s record improved to 14–15.
In their most recent meeting, which took place on Saturday, the Pistons lost 126-115 to the Nets. Will the Pistons’ chances of winning improve at home as opposed to away?
