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.

Pistons at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 117, Pistons 99

Moneyline

AVOID.

Even with the Cavaliers being heavily favored, taking them at the current odds (-900) isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

Considering how Cleveland has performed recently, CAVALIERS -13.5 (-108) is an intriguing wager despite it being such a massive spread. The Cavaliers have won each of their last 5 games by 15-plus points.

The Pistons are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road meetings against the Cavaliers. Cleveland is also 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games against a team with a losing record.

Over/Under

UNDER 223.5 (-105) is how I’d play the total with the Cavaliers allowing the fewest points per game (106.5). Cleveland has surrendered 105 or fewer points in 6 of its last 8 games and the Cavaliers play at the slowest pace in the NBA.

The Pistons have gone Under in each of their last 5 games. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are 5-0 to the Under in their last 5 games following a win.

The Washington Wizards (24-26) square off against the Detroit Pistons (13-39) on Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wizards vs. Pistons odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Wednesday is the 2nd of 3 meetings this season between these teams. Washington picked up a 120-99 victory at home while covering as a 6-point favorite on Oct. 25 as the Under (221) connected.

Wizards at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 118, Pistons 110

Moneyline

PASS.

Taking the Wizards (-230) to win on the road at the current odds isn’t advised considering the minimal profit you’ll receive if they do secure the victory.

Against the spread

BET WIZARDS -5.5 (-118).

These teams have played very differently recently. Washington has won each of its last 2 games by 10 or more points and 4 of its last 6 by 6 or more points.

The Wizards are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Meanwhile, the Pistons are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-8-2 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win.

Over/Under

UNDER 237.5 (-108) is how I’d confidently bet on the total in this contest. Both of these teams are in the bottom half of the league in offensive rating despite it being a pace-up game for the Wizards.

Washington has gone Under in each of its last 4 road games against a team with a losing home record and the Under is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings between the Wizards and the Pistons.

Pistons at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 122, Pistons 108

Moneyline

You can PASS on the moneyline in this game with the 76ers being heavily favored at home. Betting on Philadelphia to win straight up isn’t worth doing due to the minimal return you’ll receive if the 76ers do secure the win.

Against the spread

76ERS -11.5 (-110) is an enticing wager in this game with how well Philadelphia has played since G James Harden returned to the lineup. Meanwhile, the Pistons are on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back and were just beaten by 15 points by the Jazz on Tuesday.

The 76ers are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 home games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record. The Pistons are 1-7 ATS in the last 8 road meetings against the 76ers and 5-13 ATS in the last 18 meetings overall.

Over/Under

Even though the Pistons are shorthanded, OVER 224.5 (-110) seems like the ideal way to wager on the total. Detroit doesn’t have anyone that can slow down C Joel Embiid, who is averaging 34.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists on 54 percent shooting from the floor in his last 9 games.

The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between the Pistons and the 76ers when the game is in Philadelphia. Also, the Over is 8-1-1 in the last 10 meetings overall.

Dallas Mavericks at Detroit Pistons odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Dallas Mavericks at Detroit Pistons odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dallas Mavericks (10-10) will square off against the Detroit Pistons (5-18) on Thursday at the Little Caesars Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Pistons odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Mavericks took down the Golden State Warriors 116-113 on Tuesday to cover as 1-point favorites at home. Dallas was on a 4-game losing streak before defeating Golden State.

The Pistons were blown out 140-110 on Tuesday as they fell way short of covering as 4.5-point underdogs at home against the New York Knicks. Detroit has lost 3 games in a row and 8 of its last 10.

Mavericks at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 118, Pistons 108

Moneyline

Just PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Mavericks being heavy favorites on the road. Taking Dallas to win straight up isn’t worth doing as the return would be minimal if the Mavericks secure the victory.

Against the spread

MAVERICKS -7.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning with the Pistons potentially being without their starting backcourt of Cunningham and Ivey. Also, Dallas is coming off an impressive win over Golden State on Tuesday.

The Mavericks are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 matchups against the Pistons and they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road meetings with the Pistons.

Over/Under

Even with the Pistons being shorthanded, OVER 221.5 (-110) is an enticing wager in this contest. We know G Luka Doncic is going to produce plenty of points, so we just need a few other players to perform well to hit the Over.

The Mavericks hit the Over in 4 of the last 5 road meetings with the Pistons and in 4 of the last 5 meetings overall.

Knicks at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 111, Pistons 103

Moneyline

Even though I expect the Knicks to win on the road, PASS on the moneyline in this contest. Taking New York (-200) straight up wouldn’t be worth the risk considering the lack of a profit you’d make if it secures a victory.

Against the spread

KNICKS -4.5 (-120) appears to be the ideal choice in this game given the current state of these squads. The entire starting lineup for the Pistons is either out or questionable to play Tuesday.

The Knicks are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 matchups with the Pistons. On top of that, New York is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 road meetings with Detroit.

Over/Under

With the Pistons likely being shorthanded, UNDER 225.5 (-115) is where I’m leaning in this game. While New York is 15th in offensive rating, Detroit is 25th.

The Knicks have gone Under in each of their last 5 games against a team with a losing home record. The Under is also 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the Knicks and the Pistons in Detroit.

The Pistons upset the Denver Nuggets 110-108 Tuesday to cover as 11.5-point road underdogs. The victory ended Detroit’s 7-game losing skid despite not having G Cade Cunningham available.

The Jazz suffered a 121-114 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Monday as they failed to cover as 2-point road underdogs. Utah has lost 4 of its last 6 games following a surprisingly hot start to the season.

Pistons at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 111, Pistons 106

Moneyline

Even with the Jazz being better than expected thus far, I’ll PASS on the moneyline. Taking Utah (-700) to win straight up isn’t worth the risk at the current odds, especially with how much you’d receive if the Jazz were to win.

Against the spread

Despite the Pistons being on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, I don’t know if the Jazz are capable of beating them by 12 or more points. Considering that, PISTONS +11.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this contest.

The Pistons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings with the Jazz and they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Meanwhile, the Jazz are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Over/Under

UNDER 229.5 (-110) appears to be the ideal wager in this game despite both of these teams being top 14 in pace this season. That being said, the Pistons aren’t expected to have Cunningham available and Conley is sidelined for the Jazz, so neither team will likely push the pace as much as usual.

The Under is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between the Pistons and the Jazz in Utah and its 11-4 in the last 15 meetings overall.

Detroit Pistons at Milwaukee Bucks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Detroit Pistons at Milwaukee Bucks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Detroit Pistons (2-6) take on the Milwaukee Bucks (6-0) Wednesday at Fiserv Forum. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Pistons vs. Bucks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Pistons have lost 6 of their last 7 games since winning their season opener against the Orlando Magic. However, Detroit is getting stellar production from 2nd-year G Cade Cunningham — he’s averaging 23.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game.

The Bucks are the lone unbeaten team in the NBA after taking down the Pistons 110-108 at home Monday, although they failed to cover as 13.5-point favorites. Superstar F Giannis Antetokounmpo is seeking another NBA MVP award as he’s currently posting 33.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.7 blocks per game.

Pistons at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 116, Pistons 103

Moneyline

Just PASS on the moneyline in this game despite that the Bucks (-700) should cruise to a win at home, because there is no value in such a heavy favorite.

Antetokounmpo scored 31 points with 7 rebounds in Monday’s win on 12-of-23 shooting and I expect him to perform even better Wednesday.

Against the spread

It was a close game Monday, but give me BUCKS -11.5 (-110) in the rematch as I expect Antetokounmpo to have a quick start after starting slow in the first half of Monday’s contest. That narrow victory was Milwaukee’s 1st ATS loss of the season.

The Pistons are 4-14-1 ATS in their last 19 meetings with the Bucks and are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Milwaukee.

Over/Under

UNDER 223.0 (-108) is the ideal choice in this game with the Bucks having the best defensive rating in the NBA. The Pistons also have the 4th-worst effective field-goal percentage in the league, so points could be hard to come by.

The Under is 5-1 in Milwaukee’s last 6 games against teams with a losing record and is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between the Pistons and the Bucks.

Atlanta Hawks at Detroit Pistons odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Atlanta Hawks at Detroit Pistons odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Hawks (3-1) will take on the Detroit Pistons (1-4) Friday at Little Caesars Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Hawks vs. Pistons odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks defeated the Pistons 118-113 in their last game on Wednesday, failing to cover as 7.5-point favorites on the road. G Trae Young had his best scoring output of the season with 35 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds.

The Pistons have been a fun team to watch to begin the season, but they’ve lost 4 straight games after winning their season opener against the Orlando Magic. Detroit has gotten plenty of contributions from F Bojan Bogdanovic, who leads the team with 23.2 points per game on 53.3% shooting from the field.

Hawks at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 120, Pistons 116

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game unless you’re confident in the Pistons being able to win at home against the Hawks. I wouldn’t recommend taking Atlanta straight up given the minimal return you’ll receive if the Hawks win.

Against the spread

PISTONS +5.5 (-105) is an enticing wager as Detroit has kept it close against Atlanta when playing at home in recent matchups. If the Pistons can get solid production from Bogdanovic and G Cade Cunningham, they should be able to keep it within two 3-pointers on Friday.

The Hawks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games against the Pistons. Atlanta is also 1-4 ATS in its last 5 meetings overall with Detroit.

Over/Under

Wednesday’s matchup between the Hawks and the Pistons reached 231 total points to hit the over of 229. The projected total has come down for some reason, which is why I’m siding with OVER 227.5 (-110).

The Pistons have hit the Over in each of their last 4 home games and 8 of their last 9 games overall. The Over is also 17-8 in the last 25 meetings between Atlanta and Detroit.

Hawks at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 123, Pistons 109

Moneyline

PASS on the moneyline in this game with the Hawks being heavy favorites over the Pistons on the road. Taking Atlanta (-300) isn’t worth the risk considering the low return you’ll receive if the Hawks win.

Against the spread

I’ll take HAWKS -7.5 (-112) with the Pistons playing a back-to-back after losing at the Wizards Tuesday. I’m expecting big games from Murray and G Trae Young with Atlanta having 2 days of rest since its last game.

The Pistons are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss by 10 or more points.

Over/Under

Even with Detroit having the 5th-worst offensive rating in the NBA, OVER 230.5 (-115) is an enticing bet. The Pistons also have the 4th-worst defensive rating in the league, which should lead to the Hawks scoring points in bunches, and both teams are top 11 in pace this season.

The Over has hit in each of the last 4 games for Atlanta against a team with a winning percentage below .400. Meanwhile, Detroit has hit the Over in 7 of its last 8 games overall.
