The head-to-head tiebreaker between the Brooklyn Nets and Detroit Pistons is on the line Monday night at Barclays Center as the teams head to the finish locked in a tight battle for sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
The Nets (35-33) are a half-game behind the Pistons (34-31) and can both take the tiebreaker and swap places with Detroit with a victory on Monday.
Brooklyn last played Saturday, eking out a 114-112 win on the road over the Atlanta Hawks to complete a three-game season sweep and pick up its third consecutive victory. The Pistons clobbered the Chicago Bulls Sunday at home, 131-108, for their fifth straight win.
