Pistons vs. Nets Prediction and Odds (Brooklyn to Break Terrible Home Trend)

The Brooklyn Nets are officially at full strength and are in the home stretch of the season.

Brooklyn has the easiest remaining schedule in the league, and that starts with the 20-55 Detroit Pistons tonight. The Nets come off a loss to the Charlotte Hornets, which could come back to bite in tiebreaker situations.

The Nets need every win possible. Will they get an "easy" one tonight, or will the Pistons upset them?

Here are the odds for the matchup via WynnBET.

Pistons vs. Nets Prediction and Pick

The Brooklyn Nets have the worst home ATS record in the league. They are 4-22-1 as a home favorite this season. I want to give them a little bit of a pass, as a lot of those games came without Kevin Durant and with a checked out James Harden. Still, that record isn't a good one.

Tonight will be different. Brooklyn is coming off a loss to the Charlotte Hornets, but the Hornets' offense presents an abundance of different challenges for their defense. Detroit has played better as of late, but I still don't trust their offense. The Pistons have the third-worst offensive rating in the league and are 8-29 ATS as road underdogs.

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are going to abuse the Pistons' defense (7th-worst in defensive rating). Now that Irving is eligible to play at home and has gotten a loss out the way, this is the perfect spot for them to bounce back.

Both teams have terrible ATS records in these situations, so I will back the more talented, championship contender Brooklyn Nets tonight.

Lean: Nets -13.5 (-110)
