    The Brooklyn Nets and Detroit Pistons face off in an Eastern Conference tilt at 7 p.m. ET on Friday. Brooklyn is favored by 10 points at Caesars Sportsbook, while the Over-Under is set at 211 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our NBA odds page). Before making any Nets vs. Pistons picks, you NEED to check out the NBA predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

    The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned almost $9,000 in profit on its top-rated NBA picks over the past three-plus seasons. The model finished up almost $600 on its top-rated picks last season and enters Week 3 of the 2021-22 NBA season on a stunning 106-71 roll on top-rated NBA picks against the spread. Anyone following it has seen huge returns.

    The model knows the Nets are tremendous on offense, leading the NBA in overall efficiency during the 2020-21 season. Kevin Durant and James Harden co-lead a potent attack, and the Pistons are a below-average statistical defense. Brooklyn's defense is an intriguing story in its own right, however, with the Nets ranking in the top ten in defensive rating with the best two-point defense (47.6 percent) in the NBA. Detroit's offense lands in the bottom tier of the league, and Brooklyn has myriad edges on the road.

    The model also knows the Pistons can have some matchup advantages. Detroit is a very strong defensive rebounding team that also lands above the NBA's average baseline in steals, blocks and overall turnover creation. Brooklyn wholly eschews offensive rebounding, ranking last in the NBA, and the Pistons can bank on limiting second-chance opportunities. Detroit is also above-average in free throw creation and offensive rebound rate, leading to extra possessions on the offensive side.

    Now, it has set its sights on Nets vs. Pistons. We can tell you the model is leaning under the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in almost 60 percent of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any NBA picks.

    Who wins Nets vs. Pistons? And which side of the spread hits in nearly 60 percent of simulations? ... Join SportsLine right now to find out which side of the Nets vs. Pistons spread you should be all over Friday, all from the model on a roll on NBA picks!
