It\u2019s a mismatch in Motor City tonight, and the Detroit Pistons likely won\u2019t need to get out of first gear against a Brooklyn Nets team that\u2019s lost 10 in a row.<\/p>\n

Despite back-to-back losses, Detroit is a huge favorite here, and my Nets vs. Pistons predictions point to Michael Porter Jr. as the only reason that Brooklyn may hang around at Little Caesars Arena.<\/p>\n

Nets vs Pistons prediction<\/p>\n

Nets vs Pistons best bet: Michael Porter Jr. Over 21.5 points (-112)<\/p>\n

As the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> jockey for lottery balls, Michael Porter Jr.<\/a> is seizing the chance to showcase his offensive arsenal. He\u2019s averaging a career-best 24.2 PPG, and he\u2019ll have the green light again as the Nets\u2019 best source of buckets.<\/p>\n

MPJ has gone past this O\/U points number in five of his last eight outings, and he nailed seven triples on the way to 27 points in Miami on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Detroit Pistons<\/a> are without Ausar Thompson, so there should be just enough cracks in the hosts\u2019 defense \u2014 and more than enough volume \u2014 for Porter Jr. to nail this Over.<\/p>\n

Nets vs Pistons same-game parlay<\/p>\n

The Under is a combined 69-54 for these teams this season, and this has been a winning ticket in the Pistons\u2019 last three contests. With the Nets averaging just 106.9 PPG, last in the NBA, and Cade Cunningham on the injury report for Detroit, brace yourself for a rock fight.<\/p>\n

That should pump up the rebounding numbers, and Jalen Duren<\/a> is averaging 12.7 RPG in his past seven outings. Brooklyn\u2019s Nolan Traore<\/a> has cashed this Over in four of his last five games.<\/p>\n

Jalen Duren Over 10.5 rebounds<\/p>\n

Nolan Traore Over 1.5 rebounds<\/p>\n

Our “from downtown” SGP: “Beef Stew” brings it<\/p>\n

The Nets have some young players in their rotation, and they\u2019re about to be introduced to the Isaiah Stewart<\/a> experience. “Beef Stew” continues to be a key cog off the bench for Detroit, and he\u2019s coming off an 18-point effort in San Antonio on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Stewart could see extended minutes here if the scoreline gets out of hand and the Pistons take a cautious approach with Cade and Duren.<\/p>\n

Nets vs Pistons SGP<\/p>\n

Isaiah Stewart Over 9.5 points<\/p>\n
