The Los Angeles Clippers (38-18) visit the Detroit Pistons (16-38) at Little Caesars Arena at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Clippers-Pistons odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
The Clippers pushed past the Indiana Pacers in Tuesday’s game, 126-115, as the Over (233) easily cashed. It was the sixth consecutive victory for L.A., and they have scored 126 or more points in three straight outings.
The Clippers are 5-1 against the spread during the six-game win streak. That includes a 131-124 victory over Detroit at Staples Center on Sunday.
The Pistons have dropped two in a row, but they covered a 13-point number against the Clippers last time out as they had the luxury of not having to face the resting Kawhi Leonard. That might not be the case on Wednesday, although Kawhi is listed as questionable due to a foot ailment.

Clippers at Pistons: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Clippers 127, Pistons 114
Money line (ML)
The Clippers (-500) are rather on the expensive side, as you would have to risk five times your potential return.
They’re likely going to win outright, but playing the second end of a back-to-back, and with Kawhi questionable, there is risk.
AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The CLIPPERS -9 (-110) should be able to secure a double-digit victory. They have won five of the six games in their win streak by 10 or more points.
The only team to keep them within single digits was the Pistons on Sunday, but again, that’s a game in which Kawhi rested.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 220.5 (-110) might be the best bet on the board, as the Los Angeles offense, with or without Leonard, has exploded for 126 points in each of the past three outings, and four of the past five.
They have also allowed 109 or more points in four of those games. Keep hitting the Over until further notice.
