Season series: 76ers lead 3-0

The Pistons are coming off a cover as 10.5-point underdogs in a 113-103 loss to the Brooklyn Nets Saturday with the total (216) pushing at Barclays Center. Detroit led by 15 points with 7:49 remaining, before allowing a 29-4 Nets run to close out the game.

The 76ers, sans C Joel Embiid (rest), covered as 3-point favories with a 133-126 double-overtime win at the San Antonio Spurs Sunday as the Over (225) hit. G Tyrese Maxey scored a career-high 52 points for the 76ers, who have covered the spread in 7 straight games.

The 76ers are 2-1 ATS vs. the Pistons this season, and the Under has also gone 2-1. In their most recent meeting (Dec. 15), Philadelphia covered as a 15.5-point favorite in a 124-92 victory with the Under (235.5) cashing at Wells Fargo Center. Embiid had a game-high 35 points.

Pistons at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 110, Pistons 107

Moneyline

The 76ers (-1600) are riding high. Embiid is healthy, they’ve won 5 in a row, and the playoffs are just around the corner. However, I don’t want to risk $1,600 to win $100 and fade a Pistons team that will be motivated to avoid the season sweep.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

I have teams with 2 completely different mindsets heading into this one.

The Pistons are embarrassed after blowing a 19-point lead last time out, while the 76ers erased a 7-point deficit in the final 1:40 of regulation to come back and win in double overtime.

The Pistons are still playing for pride and to end the season on somewhat of a high note. I want no part of the complacent 76ers who have already clinched a postseason berth.

BET PISTONS +15 (-110).

Over/Under

Detroit is not exactly a juggernaut on offense (27th in offensive efficiency), and the 76ers may be looking to rest some pieces in an attempt to guarantee full health for a deep playoff run.

Looking at the injury report, a low-scoring game seems to be the more likely outcome Tuesday.

LEAN UNDER 220 (-110).

Pistons at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 115, Pistons 101

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Hawks (-750), who are 20-18 at home, to beat the Pistons (+525), who are riddled with injuries and just 6-30 on the road.

Against the spread

BET HAWKS -11.5 (-115).

Detroit is dealing with an array of injuries and as a result has failed to cover the spread in 5 of its last 8 games, including 2 of its last 3 on the road as a double-digit underdog. It has scored 99 or fewer points in 3 of its last 4 games and will be unable to keep up with a Hawks squad that has covered in 5 of its last 6 games, including 4 of its last 5 at home.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 223.5 (-110).

The Pistons have allowed 110 or more points in 6 of their last 8 games while scoring 101 or more points in 4 of their last 7.

Atlanta has hit the Over in 8 of its last 10 games including 7 of its last 8. It has scored at least 110 points in 9 of its last 10 games while allowing 122 in 2 of its last 3 and 118 or more points in 6 of its last 10.

While Atlanta should carry a majority of the weight, with Detroit’s recent track record they will not be able to score enough for the Over to hit.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (24-50) visit the Detroit Pistons (13-61) Monday. Tip-off from Little Caesars Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Pistons odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Memphis leads 1-0 with a 116-102 road win Dec. 6

Memphis was routed 118-88 by the Orlando Magic Saturday while failing to cover as a 13-point road underdog. The Grizzlies, who have now lost 3 straight, shot only 36% from the field and 33.3% from deep in the loss. No scorer eclipsed the 16-point mark for Memphis in the loss.

Detroit beat the Washington Wizards 96-87 Friday while covering as a 3.5-point road underdog. G Cade Cunningham put up 33 points while C Jalen Duren added 17 boards for the Pistons in the win. Friday’s win ended an 8-game losing steak for the Pistons.

Grizzlies at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 107, Pistons 104

Moneyline

LEAN GRIZZLIES (+122).

Memphis has won 5 consecutive matchups vs. Detroit and is 8-2 in the last 10 head-to-head meetings. The Grizzlies are also a surprisingly solid road team at 16-22 in away games, while Detroit is only 7-31 at home.

This is only a lean because both teams are only 2-8 in their last 10 games and both are terrible. The only real advantage here is how dominant the Grizzlies have been recently vs. Detroit.

Against the spread

PASS.

I like Memphis +3 (-110) to cover here, but its odds are better on the moneyline.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 213.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in back-to-back games for the Pistons and is 8-2 in their last 10 overall.

For Memphis, the Under hit in its last outing and is 2-1 in its last 3 road games.

The Under has been safer for both teams this season at 39-34-1 for Memphis and 37-36-1 for the Pistons. The Under has also hit in 7 of the last 10 meetings between these squads.

Season series: Wizards lead 2-1

The Pistons wrap up a 3-game road trip on Friday night in Washington D.C. against the Wizards. Detroit did cover Wednesday as a 16.5-point underdog, but lost 106-91 to the Minnesota Timberwolves as the Under (215.5) cashed. G Cade Cunningham carried the Pistons offensively scoring 32 points on 11-of-23 (47.8%) shooting. Detroit has lost 8 straight games.

Washington had its 1st 3-game win streak of the season snapped by the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night, 122-119 in overtime. Despite the loss, the Wizards did cover the 4-point spread and the Over (220.5) cashed. G Jordan Poole had a season-high 38 points while F Kyle Kuzma dropped a double-double (24 points and 10 rebounds).

The Wizards have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Pistons. In their most recent meeting on Jan. 27, Washington won 118-104 as a 3.5-point underdog with the Under (240) cashing.

Pistons at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 118, Pistons 108

Moneyline

PASS.

You have 2 teams that are only playing for pride at this point which means I’m going to ride the hot hand which is the Wizards (having won 3 of their last 4). I’ll save my bet for the spread with the better odds.

Against the spread

BET WIZARDS -4 (-108).

It seems like the Pistons just want this season to end, having lost their last 9 games with 9 left to play. Washington has also owned Detroit of late, winning 9 of the last 10 meetings. The Wizards have also covered the spread in 3 of the last 4. It looks like Washington has found a formula that works.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).

Three of the last 4 meetings between these 2 teams have gone Under the total. The Pistons are 2-8 against the Over in their last 10 while the Wizards have been Under in 3 of their last 4. I’m going to ride the trends and take the Under.

Pistons at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 119, Pistons 101

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the T-wolves (-1400), who are 7-3 in their last 10, to beat the Pistons (+800), who are 2-8 in their last 10.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES -14.5 (-115).

Detroit is just 4-6 ATS in its last 10 games including 1-4 ATS in its last 5, all as a double-digit underdog. It has also failed to cover the spread as a double-digit underdog in 3 of its last 4 road games.

Minnesota is on a 6-0 ATS streak and is 3-0 ATS in its last 3 games at home. Against a Pistons team that is ailing from injuries, expect a dominating performance from the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Over/Under

BET OVER 216.5 (-110).

The Pistons have scored 99 or more in each of their last 4 games and in 8 of their last 10. The Timberwolves have scored 114 or more in 4 of their last 6. Minnesota will be faced with carrying a majority of the load, but it is more than capable of doing so.

Pistons at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 115, Pistons 97

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no way to put money on New York (-2000), 7-3 in its last 10 games, to beat injury-ridden Detroit (+950), a team that is 3-7 in its last 10 and 5-28 on the road this season.

Against the spread

LEAN KNICKS -16.5 (-110).

The Knicks are 6-3-1 ATS, including 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games as favorites and 3-1 ATS in their last 4 at home. The Pistons have faced destruction in their lineup by way of injury and are without many starters and key players. While 16.5 points is a large margin, the Knicks have home court advantage and are nearly healthy heading into Monday’s game.

Over/Under

BET OVER 206.5 (-110).

While both teams have struggled against the Over in the last 10 games (each going 3-7), 206.5 is a low enough total that the Knicks will be able to carry the load.

Detroit has scored 101 or more in each of its last 3 games and 8 of its last 10 while giving up at least 114 in 4 straight games. New York has scored 100 or more points in 5 of its last 6 games while giving up at least 112 in 2 of its last 3.

Season series: Pelicans lead 1-0

New Orleans won for the 4th time in its last 5 games on Friday night, 111-88 over the Miami Heat to cover as a 2,5-point underdog while the Under (207.5) cashed.

Pelicans at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 113, Pistons 100

Moneyline

PASS.

The Pelicans (-700) will win this game, but you should never bet 7 units to win 1 back. You should save your bet for the spread and/or the total.

Against the spread

BET PELICANS -11.5 (-115).

New Orleans has covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 while the Pistons have failed to cover in 4 of their last 5.

The Pelicans are trying to stay inside the top 6 in the Western Conference playoffs and out of the play-in tournament. They sit 2 games ahead of the Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns, and Dallas Mavericks who are all tied for the 6th spot. New Orleans cannot afford to drop a free square like this one with a team that is just playing out the string at this point.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 213.5 (-110).

The trends are too good to ignore with this one. The Pelicans and Pistons have played to the Under in 4 of their last 5. New Orleans is 3-7 against the Over in their last 10 while Detroit is 1-6 over their last 7.

I’m all over the Under in this game.

Season series: Celtics lead 2-0

Boston won its 7th consecutive game on Wednesday night, 122-119 over the Milwaukee Bucks. They failed to cover as a 10-point favorite and the Over (226) cashed. SF Jayson Tatum crossed the 30-point threshold (31) for the 3rd time in his last 4 games and PG Derrick White added 23.

Celtics 124, Pistons 109

Moneyline

PASS.

The Celtics (-1000) will win this game, but you should never bet 10 units to win 1 back. You should save your bet for the spread and/or the total.

Against the spread

BET CELTICS -13.5 (-105).

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that Boston is the far superior team and should on paper wipe the floor with the Pistons. The Celtics have covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 matchups with Detroit including on Monday night. They are also above .500 on the road covering the spread.

The Pistons have failed to cover in 3 of their last 4. They are just playing out the string with 13 games to go before the Pistons can look forward to possibly winning the NBA Lottery.

Over/Under

PASS.

I hate to cop out on this, but I really don’t see an edge in this game when it comes to the total. These two are 5-3-2 against the Over in their last 10 meetings. If I had a lean, it would be the Under because it has cashed in Detroit’s last 6 games.
