Detroit Pistons vs Brooklyn Nets NBA Cup Preview
The Pistons face off against the Nets today in a matchup where Detroit should roll.
Cade Cunningham has led the charge for Detroit, and is averaging 24.5 points and 9.6 assists per game.
Tonight, I’m targeting Cade as a facilitator.
Those 9.6 assists come on 17.8 potentials per game, and considering Brooklyn allows the most assists per game to their opponents, this is a strong spot.
The biggest thing working against us here is the pace, with Brooklyn playing at the slowest pace, and Detroit playing a touch below league average.
However, given the defensive preferences of the Nets, I expect Cade to carve up the league’s worst defense.
