PIstons won their fourth straight on Friday night, defeating the Nets 107-92 in front of their home crowd and a slew of Star Wars' characters.
The Nets had previously said that MarShon Brooks' broken toe would keep him out through this weekend's games against the Pistons and Spurs. But on Friday morning, the team said that Brooks is a game-time decision for Friday night's game in Detroit.
The Nets go into Detroit with nine healthy players, including one All-Star (Deron Williams) and one small forward (Shawne Williams). They're hoping to avoid their fifth straight loss and 20th loss for the season. After beating the Pistons by three points with eight players last week, they lost by seven with 10 players on Wednesday.
