The Brooklyn Nets (1-7) have to be feeling good about themselves after notching their first win of the 2025-26 NBA season after dropping their first seven games of the campaign. Brooklyn saw some glimpses of a team that could be better moving forward and they’ll have their next chance to win against the Detroit Pistons (6-2) in the NBA Cup and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!

The Nets come into this game following a 112-103 win at the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday in which Brooklyn found a way to win the game despite guard Cam Thomas suffering left hamstring tightness in the first quarter. Forward Michael Porter Jr. stepped up to the challenge by dropping 32 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists against a Pacers team that was missing half of their roster.

The Pistons come into this matchup after a 114-103 win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday in which guard Cade Cunningham continued his excellent start to the season with 31 points and 10 assists of his own. Center Jalen Duren also played a huge part in the victory as he put up 22 points and 22 rebounds and had a plus/minus of +18 to further show how effective he was.
