Detroit at Brooklyn

Both of these teams are battling for playoff position, and Detroit has won five straight while the Nets have won three in a row. Brooklyn defeated Atlanta on Saturday when Spencer Dinwiddie scored 23 points for the Nets, who won even though they missed 21 of 54 free throws. The Pistons are playing a back-to-back after beating Chicago on Sunday and don't have the depth to rest many players. Detroit is 5-12 ATS the last 17 meetings while Brooklyn is 8-2 ATS its last 10 games against teams with winning records. The Nets are 20-16 at home and the Pistons are 13-18 on the road and the Nets are just a small favorite in tonight's matchup. The teams have split two meetings this season, and both were in October with Brooklyn winning the rematch 120-199 in overtime. Play the Nets on the moneyline.
