Brooklyn Nets vs Detroit Pistons Basketball Preview - March 7

On Saturday night at Barclays Center, the Nets earned their inaugural victory of 2019 over an 0-7 Detroit Pistons squad that hadn't seen victory all season long - it wasn't easy but they managed it and look to do so again against an opponent that is trying to avoid entering history as yet another franchise without winning even once this season on Thursday evening against them.

This matchup should prove entertaining as the Nets take on former teammate Bojan Bogdanovic and his new Detroit Pistons squad, the Detroit Pistons. After spending two seasons with Brooklyn Nets, Bogdanovic left to play with Detroit. Fans are sure to give him an enthusiastic reception when he returns, likely getting an ovation from them as well. His transition has not gone smoothly so far but with such an experienced 3-point shooter among their ranks it shouldn't be long until he returns with more success on this new team he'll eventually succeed soon enough!

The Pistons are 8-22 this season and have struggled without Cade Cunningham or Jalen Duren. Without these players on defense, their defense ranks 27th in the NBA in points allowed per game with opponents scoring an average of 117.6 on the road while they commit 21.9 fouls per game - not to mention giving up 25.5 assists and 42.8 rebounds each night!

Brooklyn stands at 25-37 overall and are currently 2-0 against Detroit this season. Mikal Bridges has been one of their key contributors, averaging 25.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game this year - so expect him to come through tonight if the Nets want victory.
