Pistons at Nets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 119, Pistons 112

Money line

SPRINKLE on PISTONS (+750) even though they probably won’t win but it’s such a fat payout and Detroit has been better than its record indicates recently.

The Pistons are 11th in adjusted net rating over the past two weeks at plus-3.2 and seventh in ATS margin at plus-4.9, according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

Detroit also plays a young squad that will give PF Kevin Durant and PG Kyrie Irving its best shot and this is a look-ahead spot for the Nets who host the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks Wednesday.

Detroit’s spread is the preferred play because I don’t see Brooklyn losing two straight games but I’ll take a flier on the PISTONS (+750).

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

Definitely BET the PISTONS +13.5 (-107) instead of or heavier than their ML based on the previous analysis and because the Nets are an NBA-worst 4-22-1 ATS as home favorites with a minus-8.5 ATS margin.

We could be getting additional value on Detroit’s spread due to the unfortunate injury to Grant who was the Pistons’ leading scorer.

However, Detroit only scores 1.4 more points per 100 possessions when Grant was on the floor, which grades in the 60th percentile of wings, per CTG. The Pistons would obviously rather have Grant in the lineup but they can keep this game within double digits.

Detroit is 15-1 ATS in its last 16 games as an underdog and 8-0 ATS in its last eight games versus teams with a winning record.

The PISTONS PLUS THE POINTS is my favorite bet in this game.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 233.5 (-112) as a fade against all the Over action that has steamed this total up from the 229-point opener.

Detroit’s defense has been locked in recently, ranking third in non-garbage time defensive efficiency, per CTG. Plus the Under has cashed in two of the three Pistons-Nets meetings this season and Durant played in all three, averaging 34.3 points on 53.5% shooting.

It’s only a LEAN to the UNDER 233.5 (-112) because I feel stronger about the Pistons ATS.

Detroit Pistons at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and prediction

Pistons at Nets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 111, Pistons 98

Money line

PASS on the money line. There isn’t enough money to be made to risk betting the Nets, which is the logical pick.

Now, if you think the Pistons can win consecutive games on the second night of a back-to-back against one of the Eastern Conference title favorites, then you can take them on the money line for a huge payout.

The Nets have not yet won consecutive games this season and they are coming off a win. However, they are immensely more talented than the Pistons. look to the spread and the total.

Against the spread

The Pistons are 2-3 ATS this season and the Nets are 2-4 ATS. But, if the Nets got back on track as it appeared they did in their 105-98 win over the Pacers Friday night, the Pistons are in trouble.

Harden had 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, but the tell-tale sign that he is turning things around is the fact he had 19 free-throw attempts in the game. He had 15 total free throws in the first five games of the year.

With Harden back to form and Kevin Durant averaging 28.5 PPG, the Pistons will not be able to keep up.

Take the NETS -11.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The Nets have not yet had a game this season hit the Over. The Pistons are 3-2 O/U, despite averaging only 97.2 PPG.

The Pistons, if they only score their season average, it will be hard to go Over the projected total.

Take UNDER 212.5 (-110).

Pistons at Nets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Nets 124, Pistons 107

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line as neither side presents enough value. The Nets should be able to win this contest with ease, but -650 odds are just far too low to bet.

Brooklyn has been on a roll of late, winning 11 of its last 12 games. Still, there is just too much risk for such a little payout. Instead, look at the spread for value.

Against the spread (ATS)

NETS -11.5 (-110) is the play as they are 11-1 against the spread in their last 12 games. Their last three wins were by a combined 41 points. This is one of the best teams in the NBA, even without Durant in the lineup.

Detroit will likely have a ton of problems even keeping this game competitive, especially without its top two point guards. Look for Brooklyn to cover this 11.5-point spread and win by close to 20 points Saturday.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 228.5 (-110) is the lean as the Nets have the No. 1 scoring offense. They are averaging 121.1 points per game and their offense is only getting better.

While the Pistons have an average defense (No. 13 in points allowed per game), don’t expect them to hold the Nets under 120 points Saturday. The over has hit in five of the last six games for the Nets inside the Central Division.
