Nets vs. Pistons Pick
Are the host Detroit Pistons going to earn their fifth consecutive victory tonight when they play the Brooklyn Nets at Little Caesars Arena? Game time is 7PM ET.
Who Oddsmakers Like: Detroit. According to oddsmakers at YouWager.com, the Pistons are listed as a 9.5-point favorite on the spread line. The total is set at 209.5 points. The spread has yet to budge since it opened, while the total has gone up from 208.
Who the Public Likes: Detroit. As of Wednesday morning, 62 percent of public bets have come in on the Pistons. Meanwhile, 60 percent of online bets have come in on the over.
Who We Like: The road team has covered in both meetings this season, with the Pistons winning 114-80 on Jan. 10 and the Nets following up with a 101-100 victory in Detroit on Jan. 21. The Pistons have won four games in a row immediately after an eight-game losing streak. But in the four games and the previous three with Blake Griffin, Detroit still only went 2-2 ATS. Meanwhile, Brooklyn has last four in a row straight up and seven of their previous eight contests. The under has gone 0-4 in the last four meetings overall and 5-1 in the last five meetings in Brooklyn. The Nets are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall.
With the Pistons being red-hot and Brooklyn struggling, I’m going to take the home team as they stay at home and showed recently they can blow out a visiting opponent.
NBA DAILY PREDICTION: DETROIT PISTONS -9.5
