Nets at Pistons picks and predictions
Prediction
Nets 111, Pistons 109
Moneyline
BET NETS (-138).
Brooklyn has won 3 consecutive matchups vs. Detroit and is 9-1 in the last 10 head-to-head meetings.
As mentioned, the Nets are 3-1 in their last 4 games, while the Pistons are 1-9 in their last 10.
Detroit is also an awful 4-25 at home this season, including 0-4 in its last 4 home games.
Against the spread
PASS, but I could see backing Detroit +2.5 (-110) due to recent trends.
Detroit has covered the spread in 4 of its last 6 games, is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 matchups vs. Brooklyn and is 6-4 ATS in the last 10 in the Nets series.
The Pistons are just a bit better ATS (31-30) than the Nets (28-31-3).
Detroit +2.5 (-110) would be a very slight lean since the series has been mostly even in recent matchups and both teams’ ATS records are similar.
Over/Under
BET OVER 216 (-112).
The Over has hit in back-to-back games for the Nets and is 3-1 in their last 4. For Detroit, the Over hit in its last outing and is 32-28-1 this season.
More impressive is that the Over has also hit in 7 consecutive Brooklyn-Detroit matchups and is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.
However, be warned. The Under has been dominant for the Pistons lately, going 9-1 in their last 10.
