PREVIEW: The Denver Nuggets arrive at Little Caesars Arena riding a six-game road winning streak to face the Detroit Pistons, who rank among the league's elite at 36-12. Denver excels at efficient three-point shooting (ranked 1st) and maintains a low turnover rate (3rd), while their attack on the rim ranks fourth in efficiency. The Pistons enter as 4-point home favorites , and they've been dominant defensively this season. Detroit's standout strength lies in defending shots at the rim (ranked 1st) and forcing turnovers at an elite rate (also 1st), making them a formidable defensive unit that could disrupt Denver's offensive rhythm. The Nuggets arrive fresh off a 121-111 home loss to Oklahoma City after enjoying their road success. Detroit has momentum of its own, winning consecutive games including a dominant 130-77 home victory over Brooklyn. Denver scores an average of 119.9 points per game, 10.2 more than the 109.7 points Detroit allows opponents, suggesting the Nuggets' firepower could test a Pistons defense that, while strong, allows room for high-scoring performances. Both teams struggle with defensive rebounding, with Denver ranked 25th and Detroit 26th in that category, potentially creating opportunities for second-chance points in what shapes up as a fascinating matchup between contrasting offensive and defensive philosophies.
