• The Detroit Pistons will try to follow up a perfect homestand with their first road win of the season when they visit the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. After opening the season with a setback at Toronto, the Pistons knocked off three straight at home by an average of 18 points — capped by Tuesday’s 102-89 victory over the New York Knicks.

• Harris was 8-of-12 from the floor versus New York and has shot at least 50 percent in all four games, including a 7-of-13 showing from long range. Caldwell-Pope averaged 4.5 points in the season’s first two games but has posted 21 and 19 in his last two, respectively. Andre Drummond averaged 20 points and 14 rebounds as Detroit took three of four meetings with Brooklyn last season.

• Brooklyn was last in the NBA in 2015-16 in opponents’ field-goal percentage (47.9) and it has begun to trend in that direction again, allowing a 50.4-percent rate in its three losses. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has returned from an injury-marred rookie campaign to help out on that end, but he has struggled mightily on offense while scoring 11 points on 4-of-19 shooting in 102 minutes.

• Nets PG Greivis Vasquez (ankle) missed Monday’s game and PG Randy Foye (hamstring) has yet to see any action.

• Pistons PG Ish Smith has at least seven assists in all four games this season.

• Brooklyn averages 35.8 3-point attempts, compared to 18.5 for Detroit.
