Detroit Pistons Vs. Brooklyn Nets Live Stream: Watch Free Online NBA Eastern Conference Basketball At 7:30 PM ET

With Brook Lopez expected to return to the starting lineup, the Brooklyn Nets look to avoid their fifth consecutive home loss Friday night at 7:30 pm ET when the visiting Detroit Pistons come to town.

Brooklyn (12-9) won seven of the first eight at the brand new Barclays Center. However, since allowing 87.0 points per contest while winning six straight there, the Nets have given up 105.8 during their four-game home skid.

They blew a 17-point lead in a 100-97 home loss to rival New York on Tuesday, but bounced back to snap their five-game overall slide with a 94-88 win over Toronto on Wednesday.

Joe Johnson scored 23 points and C.J. Watson added 16 off the bench as the Nets overcame an eight-point halftime deficit, giving them their first win in six games this month.

The Nets will look to get added boost with the return of Lopez, who's averaging 18.5 points and 6.8 rebounds. Brooklyn lost five of seven -- including the four straight home defeats -- while the 7-footer sat with a sprained right foot.

Lopez averaged 21.3 points in the first eight games at the Barclays Center.

Meanwhile, the Pistons snapped a four-game road losing streak with a 104-97 win over Cleveland on Saturday, but it's dropped two straight since then. The Pistons led by eight after one quarter at home versus Denver on Tuesday, but wound up shooting 42.0 percent and committing 17 turnovers in a 101-94 loss.

Pistons guard Brandon Knight, who scored 20 on Tuesday, has averaged 24.0 points in his last three road games.
