Pistons vs Nets GameThread: Game Time, TV, Odds, and More
It is Emirates NBA Cup Day for the Detroit Pistons. This season, the Pistons have shown competitiveness early, unlike past years when they were mostly noncompetitive in Cup games. Historically, these games have been marked by flashy court designs and enthusiastic broadcasts rather than meaningful competition.
Detroit has handled its easier matchups well this year, and Brooklyn faces the same challenge. The Brooklyn Nets, despite drafting five lead ball handlers, still seem to lack a true point guard and are not particularly committed to competitiveness this season.
The Pistons understand that a successful rebuild requires clearing out ineffective players and finding impactful draft picks. The main concern for this game is whether the Pistons will show up ready to play, as even in their worst seasons, they managed to win 15 games.
