The Detroit Pistons will host the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday at 6:00 PM ET at Little Caesars Arena with both teams facing injury concerns.
Detroit’s star point guard Cade Cunningham is listed as questionable due to a left quadriceps contusion. Center Jalen Duren is probable after dealing with low back spasms, while Ausar Thompson is out with a right ankle sprain. Two-way players Isaac Jones and Wendell Moore Jr. remain sidelined in the G League.
Brooklyn enters the matchup struggling at 15-47, and several key contributors will be unavailable. Rookie guard Egor Demin is out with a left plantar fascia issue, while Tyson Etienne, Chaney Johnson, and E.J. Liddell remain on two-way assignments. Drake Powell is also sidelined, continuing his G League assignment.
The Pistons have dominated the season series, winning both previous encounters, including a 130-77 rout in Detroit on February 1. Detroit currently leads the Eastern Conference at 45-16, while Brooklyn sits near the bottom with a 15-47 record.
Recent form shows Detroit losing its last two games, including a 106-121 defeat at San Antonio on March 5, while Brooklyn dropped consecutive contests in Miami.
