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.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New Orleans Pelicans (43-27) end their 4-game road trip on Sunday against the Detroit Pistons (12-58). Tip-off at Little Caesars Arena is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Pelicans vs. Pistons odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

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.

The Boston Celtics (55-14) begin a 6-game road trip on Friday against the Detroit Pistons (12-57). Tip-off at Little Caesars Arena is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Celtics vs. Pistons odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

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.

The Pistons began a 3-game homestand on Wednesday night with a 122-103 loss to the Indiana Pacers, failing to cover as an 11-point underdog while the Under (235) cashed.

Celtics at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

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.

LEAN PISTONS +9.5 (-110).

The Pacers are just 4-5 ATS in their last 9 games and have failed to cover in 2 of their last 3, both as favorites. Haliburton has been in a shooting slump, most recently going 1-of-9 from beyond the arc, and the team has struggled to score as a whole.

Against the spread

Heat at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 108, Pistons 100

Moneyline

The Heat won by 13 on Friday in Detroit. They have 19 road wins, 7 more than the Pistons have total wins, who only have 7 wins at home all year.

And while the Pistons have won 3 of their last 5 games, it is the only time all season they have done that. They have not won 3 straight yet this season.

So it isn’t a smart bet to go with Detroit, while it isn’t a valuable bet to go Pistons here.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Pistons are 2-1 ATS against the Heat this season and they are an overall decent ATS bet. Despite only 12 straight-up wins, they are 34-32 ATS overall and 17-17 ATS at home.

Detroit’s last 4 losses have been by 8 or more points while 5 of the Heat’s last 6 wins have been by more than 7 points.

BET HEAT -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

After 5 straight games of scoring 110 or more, the Pistons were held to 95 by the Heat on Friday. They have averaged 102.3 points in 3 games against the Heat.

The Heaat have scored 108 or fewer points in 5 straight games.

BET UNDER 214.5 (-110).

PASS.

There is better value on the Detroit (-160) spread.

Against the spread

BET PISTONS -3.5 (-110).

While neither the Hornets or Pistons have played well recently, the Pistons have covered in 2 of their last 3. They have also scored more points in each of their last 2 games than the Hornets have scored in their last 10.

Season series: First meeting of 2023.

Mavericks at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 120, Pistons 109

Moneyline

PASS.

The Mavericks are a far superior team but too expensive to play outright. Avoid backing the Pistons to pull off the upset as well.

Against the spread

BET MAVERICKS -7.5 (-106).

The Mavericks have covered 3 of their last 6 games but have covered 2 of their last 3 on the road. They have a talented side and have far more scoring, notching at least 114 in 3 straight games.

While their defense has left a lot to be desired, the Pistons don’t have the weapons to make them pay. Detroit is 1-2 ATS in its last 3 games as a single-digit home underdog.

Expect the Pistons to again struggle and back MAVERICKS -7.5 (-106).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 234.5 (-110).

If there’s one thing that teams have done as of late, it is hit the Under. The Mavericks have gone Under in 6 of their last 10 games while the Pistons have gone Under in 9 of their last 11.

Detroit has scored Under 110 points per game in 4 of its last 5. It doesn’t have the firepower to help the total go Over here. That said, back UNDER 234.5 (-110).

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.

Pistons at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 113, Pistons 99

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Heat (-650) to beat a Pistons team that is 5-26 on the road this season.

Against the spread

BET HEAT -11.5 (-110).

The Pistons have failed to cover the spread in 5 of their last 8, including back-to-back games overall and 4 of their last 6 as double-digit underdogs. Miami is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games, including 3-1 ATS in its last 4 at home. Against a struggling Detroit team, expect Miami to dominate Tuesday night.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 217.5 (-115).

The Pistons have hit the Over just once in their last 10 games and have hit the Under in 9 straight. They have scored 105 or fewer points in 3 consecutive games and have not scored more than 111 in 9 straight.

Miami has a 23-37 Over record this season and has hit the Under in 7 of its last 10 games, including 2 of its last 3 at home. It has scored 109 or fewer points in 5 of its last 9 games and has held opponents to 110 or fewer in 9 of its last 10.
