Nets at Pistons picks and predictions
Prediction
Nets 117, Pistons 105
Moneyline
PASS.
While the Nets should secure the win on the road, I wouldn’t advise taking them straight up with the lack of profit you’d receive if they get the victory.
Against the spread
NETS -10.5 (-110) is the pick in this game with both teams playing on a back-to-back. The Pistons have lost 10 straight games and have lost 8 of those games by 12-plus points.
Detroit is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 220.5 (-110).
The Nets play at the 9th slowest pace in the league, but they’ve scored 123-plus points in 3 of their last 6 games. Detroit also boasts the 3rd-worst defensive rating in the NBA this season.
The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings and 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Detroit.
