The Pistons have won both games straight up and against the spread since the deal and are 7.5-point faves in their first game with AI on the floor.

Since their last win in the series in 2006, the Nets have lost seven straight against the Pistons by an average of 14.0 points.
               
Snapping that skid could be a challenge against a Detroit team that is third in the league in scoring and field-goal percentage. Not a good sign since the Nets let the Suns connect on 63.2 percent of their shots in a 114-86 loss to Phoenix on Tuesday night.

If Nets backers need something to feel good, consider Iverson has been held to 23.5 points and 37.0 percent shooting from the field in his last four games against New Jersey.
