NBA Picks & Predictions for Wednesday, January 26, 2011
By Drew Sharper
DETROIT, MI (TheSpread) – The Detroit Pistons are starting to find their stride and on Wednesday they host the Denver Nuggets. Here is a breakdown of my pick for this game.
Detroit is 17-28 on the season and 12-9 at home. The Pistons have won two straight and 6 of their last 10. Denver is 26-18 on the season and 6-13 on the road. The Nuggets have won two straight and 6 of their last 10.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have released their odds for this game and they have made the Nuggets a 2-point favorite at Detroit. The over/under total has been set at 203.5 points. Here are some trends to consider and my pick for tonight’s game:
Denver Nuggets vs. Detroit Pistons, 7:30PM ET
Denver is just 3-14 against the spread in their last 17 games with Detroit and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games in the Palace. The underdog has also covered in 5 of the last 7 meetings. My pick goes with Detroit at home with the points as Denver is not a strong road team and Detroit has been playing well as of late with a young roster.
