The Detroit Pistons look to snap a five-game losing streak tonight at the Izod Center, where they will face a New Jersey Nets team that’s been playing better defense lately.

NBA basketball betting odds have not been posted yet for this contest.

Detroit, which also hosts the Nets on Saturday, has won nine of 11 in this matchup but has dropped two straight in New Jersey. In the teams’ last meeting at the Izod Center, the Nets won 111-98 on April 1 behind Keyon Dooling’s five 3-pointers and 23 points, and 19 points and 11 assists from Devin Harris.

Harris could return tonight after missing four games with a sprained right wrist.

The Nets are scoring a league-low 89.7 points per game, including 79 in each of their last two, but they are holding teams to 83.7 on 40.1 percent shooting in their last three contests.

The favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings.
