Teams Preview

Detroit Pistons

The Detroit Pistons are currently 4th in the Central Division and 6th in the Eastern Conference, with a 33-26 record. The Detroit Pistons recorded their best performance in January with 10 wins and 6 losses, having a win percentage of .625%. In February, the Detroit Pistons have won 9 games of the 11 played so far, having a win percentage of .818%.  The Detroit Pistons are just 0.5 games behind the Milwaukee Bucks for the 5th seed. The Pistons will host the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, before they face the mighty Brooklyn Nets. The team is currently on a 7-game winning streak and will be hoping to make it an 8-game winning streak before they face the Nets.

The recently concluded all-star game saw Cade Cunningham make his all-star debut as he leads the side in 25.7 points and 9.5 assists a game. To top that off, he currently has 8 triple doubles this season just behind Nikola Jokic and LeBron James. Jalen Duren has been fantastic for the Pistons this year. He is averaging 10.3 rebounds per game. Despite having a strong backcourt, their offense had been struggling to find their feet, but lately they have picked it up as they are averaging 114.3 points per game and are ranked 12th in the league. Defensively they allow opponents to score 113 points per game(15th overall) and average 45.4 rebounds, which is pretty good as they rank 7th in this category and provide 26.3 assists(15th overall), showing some balance. 

Jaden Ivey, who has missed the last couple of games, will miss this game as well. Dennis Schroder and Simone Fontecchio are being monitored on a day-to-day basis. The starting lineup comprises Cade Cunningham and Tim Hardaway Jr., who will play as guards in the absence of Jalen Ivey, who has been sidelined due to a broken fibula on his left leg. Ausar Thompson will play as a small forward and Tobias Harris will fill in as the power forward. The centre position will be occupied by Jalen Duren. Malik Beasly, their second most prolific scorer in the absence of Jaden Ivey, will come off the bench as the sixth man.  

Brooklyn Nets

After winning three games in a row, the Brooklyn Nets seemed to have lost their way as they have managed to win just one game in their last 4 games played. January was harsh for the New York team considering that they managed to win just 2 games of the 14 played. However, in February, the team has been playing better basketball, winning 6 and losing just 4.  When writing, the Brooklyn Nets hold a 21-37 record, placing them 11th in the Eastern Conference and 3rd in the Atlantic Division.

One of their key players is Cam Thomas, who averages 24.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists but has managed to play in just 19 games so far. In his absence, Cameron Johnson leads the team with 19.1 points per game. The team ranks 29th in terms of offense scoring a mere 105.1 points per game but has been solid defensively ranking them 8th overall as they allow opponents 111.1 points per game. However, in terms of points deferential, the team lies on the negative with -6. They average 41.1 rebounds per game ranking them 29th in this category and 24th in terms of assists as the team manages to assist just 24.8 assists a game.

The Nets are also grappling with significant injury issues with no player playing all the 56 games this season. They currently have 3 players injured. Cam Thomas is said to be making significant progress and Noah Clowney finds themselves injured from the Nets roster along with D’Angelo Russel. For the upcoming game against the Pistons, the potential starting lineup includes Killian Hayes at point guard, Keon Johnson at shooting guard, Z. Williams at small forward, Cameroon Johnson at power forward, and Nic Claxton at center.
