Nets vs. Pistons: Brooklyn looks for first win as NBA Cup Play begins
The Brooklyn Nets, still winless at 0-4, head into the NBA Cup opener against a 4-1 Detroit Pistons on Oct. 30 at Barclays Center.

The matchup pits a struggling, rookie‑heavy Nets against a hot Pistons squad looking to extend its early success.
