At the start of the season, the Detroit Pistons had some big names in their roster. But after a horrible showing in the first half, the team has parted ways with their veterans and have gone for a rebuild focusing on young talent.

The Detroit Pistons will enter this contest on a two-game losing streak but will fancy their chances of a shock win if their star player Jerami Grant gets off to a good start. He is leading the pack with career numbers across the board, clocking 23.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists on 43% shooting from the floor.

In their injury report, the Detroit Pistons have ruled out Dennis Smith Jr. for Saturday night's contest. Killian Hayes is on the mend from a hip strain that sidelined him from action. However, Jahil Okafor remains out after surgery to his left knee, with no timetable for his return just yet.

It would have been an amazing sight for fans to witness Blake Griffin make his debut against his former ball club. But it appears the Brooklyn Nets coaching staff has benched the 6x All-Star for this contest.

Blake will join Kevin Durant on the sidelines as the Brooklyn Nets let loose their lethal duo of James Harden and Kyrie Irving. Meanwhile, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (knee) has been listed as doubtful for this game.

The Brooklyn Nets have won three straight games as Steve Nash is enjoying incredible success in his first year as head coach in the NBA. His team is being touted as the favorites to win it all this season.

The Nets will roll out at the Barclays Center with the top-rated offense in the league. Kyrie Irving is having a career year in his 10th year in the league, leading the pack with an average of 27.7 points on an efficient 51% shooting accuracy from the field.

The Brooklyn Nets played 13 games in the month of February, scoring an average of 118.2 points on 50% shooting as a unit.

At the defensive end, the Brooklyn Nets rank among the bottom five teams, though. Nevertheless, they will be the heavy favorites for this game against the struggling Detroit Pistons on Saturday.
