Pistons at Nuggets: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

Prediction
Nuggets 117, Pistons 102
Moneyline (ML)
The Nuggets (-770) are way too hefty of a play at this price level. The limit should be -170 or -180 for any singular moneyline plays not tied into a parlay. Laying over seven times your return on investment would just be a shoddy long-term gambling plan. AVOID.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Nuggets to win returns a profit of $1.30.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
While the Pistons (+12.5, -115) covered last time out in Denver, they cannot be trusted in this one. Take the NUGGETS (-12.5, -106), who have posted a 5-1 against the spread mark in their past six as a home favorite while going 7-3 ATS in the past 10 after a non-cover.
The Pistons are just 8-13-1 ATS this season as a road dog, while going 11-12-1 ATS against teams with a winning overall record.
Over/Under (O/U)
Take the OVER 215.5 (-115). Detroit has a 24-15 Over/Under record this season following a straight-up loss. The Over is also 9-2 in their past 11 against teams with a winning record, too.
It’s been all over all the time for the Nuggets lately, hitting in four in a row at home and four of the last five overall.
