People are so confused about the Andre Drummond trade

What are the Pistons doing?

Andre Drummond is reportedly set to become a Cleveland Cavalier… which makes absolutely no sense.

The Pistons were trying to get rid of Andre Drummond so they wouldn’t have to pay him a ridiculous amount of money this offseason to stay in basketball purgatory.

That makes perfect sense, right? They wanted to get something back for Drummond instead of just letting him walk for nothing. That’s prudent General Managing, if I do say so myself.

Now, let’s see, what did they get back… Brandon Knight? John Henson? And a second round pick? WHAT?

Fam… a ham sandwich would’ve been just as good. What are the Pistons doing?

The internet was trying to figure it out, too. Obviously, we’re all clueless.

This trade is super weird, man. Not only does it not make sense, it puts the Pistons right back on this weird wheel of mediocrity that they’ll run on forever and ever.

Oh no. The Pistons… the Pistons are a hamster.

Good luck this season, Pistons fans. You’re going to need it.

Prediction

Grizzlies 125, Pistons 108

Moneyline (ML)

The Grizzlies (-357) are a little more expensive than I like on the moneyline, even though they’re a solid play at home against a team which just played Sunday afternoon and had to travel. AVOID.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The GRIZZLIES (-7.5, -110) are the play on their home floor, as the Pistons (+7.5, -110) should have some tired legs after edging the Denver Nuggets in overtime back in Detroit Sunday afternoon before traveling. Look for Memphis to handle its business at home and bounce back after a disappointing loss last time out in New Orleans Friday.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 227.5 (-110) is worth a look due to a handful of factors. First, the Pistons traveled after going to overtime Sunday afternoon against the Nuggets. Their legs should be plenty tired, leading to some shaky defense. Plus, these teams may or may not have enjoyed some Super Bowl festivities on television, and don’t think that won’t play a factor in their energy level on defense, too.

Cavaliers at Pistons: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 7:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Pistons 115, Cavaliers 112

Moneyline (ML)

The Pistons (-286) are heavily favored vs. the Cavaliers (+225), but it’s buyer beware. These teams just met at LCA Jan. 9, and the Pistons were favored by 7.5 points and lost outright to the Cavs 115-112 in overtime. AVOID.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The CAVALIERS (+7.5, -129) are worth a small-unit bet based upon the two most recent meetings, which saw Cleveland cover in both outings. Overall the Pistons (-7.5, +105) are 2-1 SU/1-2 ATS in three meetings this season.

Neither of these teams are very good against the number, as Detroit is 2-10 ATS in the past 12 at home, and 1-4 ATS in the past five as a favorite. Cleveland is 2-5 ATS in the past seven overall, but is a solid 4-0 ATS in the past four on the road against teams with a losing home record, and 16-7-1 ATS in the past 24 against teams with a winning percentage under .400.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 219.5 (-121) is your best bet, cashing in all three meetings this season, and each of the past six meetings overall between these rivals. The Over is 10-3 in Cleveland’s past 13 overall, and 12-5 in the past 17 on the road, while the Over is 6-1 in Detroit’s past seven overall and 6-0 in the past six against teams with a losing overall record.

Grizzlies at Pistons: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Grizzlies 123, Pistons 116

Moneyline (ML)

The Grizzlies have recently cooled off, losing two straight games, after a recent seven-game winning streak. Conversely Detroit has won three out of their past four games including a 127-106 blistering of the Sacramento Kings on Jan. 22. Where Memphis has a major advantage in this matchup is in the interior:  the Grizzlies score the most points in the paint per game and the Pistons give up the sixth-most points in the paint per game. Furthermore, the Grizzlies are only ranked 16th in rebounds per game but rank 12th in opponent’s rebounds per game and the Pistons rank dead last in rebounds per game.

HAMMER GRIZZLIES -106.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Despite a litany of injuries and the much-needed revival of Derrick Rose, Detroit is surprisingly in the mix for the final spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs. But, the Pistons might be a little starved tonight from a lack of home cooking; home teams are 36-49-1 ATS this season when this officiating crew is reffing the game. Though the Grizzlies-Pistons only play twice a year, Memphis has played well in Detroit recently—Grizzlies are 13-3 against the spread in the last 16 meetings in Detroit. Plus the Grizzlies are slightly better ATS on the road against below .500 teams (5-5) compared to the Pistons at home against below .500 teams (6-8 ATS record). Also, and most importantly, the Pistons are 17-27-1 ATS on the season.

However, since we are on the Grizzlies to win outright and there’s a minuscule line in Grizzlies-Pistons, PASS ON AN ATS WAGER.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 229.5 (-115) because the matchup edge discussed above, the Grizzlies terrible defense and the Pistons 27-18 over/under record on the year. Throw-in the facts that Memphis is seventh in field goal percentage and 25th in opponents’ three-point percentage, while Detroit is 27th in opponents’ field goal percentage and fourth in three-point percentage, the Over in Grizzlies-Pistons is the only play here.

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Pistons 113, Cavaliers 109

Moneyline (ML)

The Pistons (-294) are just too expensive in the second end of this home-and-home. It wouldn’t be advised to risk three times your investment on any team, let alone lowly Detroit Basketball. AVOID.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The CAVALIERS (+7.5, -121) are catching nearly four buckets from the Pistons (-7.5, +100). The Pistons defeated the Cavs 115-113 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Tuesday. The Cavaliers are 3-8 ATS in the past 11 games on the road, so you’d be going against the grain a little here. They’re also just 1-4 ATS in the past five overall.

However, the Pistons are 3-9 ATS in the past 12 games overall, while going 1-5 ATS in the past six games overall. They should pull out a win against their Lake Erie rivals, but they won’t win by more than four buckets.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 221.5 (-106) is worth a small-unit play, as the total has inched over the line in each of the past five meetings. The Over is also 4-0 in the past four for Cleveland, and 8-3 in its last 11 away from home.

For the Pistons, it’s been all about the Over lately, too. The Over is 7-0 in their past seven as a favorite, 5-1 in the past six at home and 7-2 in the previous nine games overall, too.

Prediction

Pistons 114, Cavaliers 107

Moneyline (ML)

The PISTONS (-167) are banged up, but the Cavaliers (+135) are a mess. Pick your poison. Cavs PF Kevin Love is reportedly frustrated with the play of the young players around him, and was visibly upset with SG Collin Sexton last time out. That type of non-unity isn’t going to cut the mustard.

New to sports betting? Every $1.67 wagered on the Pistons ML will profit $1 if they win.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The PISTONS (-3.5, -106) are worth a roll of the dice. They’re not that much better in the win-loss column than the Cavaliers (+3.5, -1115). The Pistons are 4-1 ATS in the past five as a favorite, and they’re 5-2 ATS in the past seven against teams with a winning percentage under .400, too.

Cleveland has earned its old pre-LeBron nickname – the Cadavers – back. The Cavs are 5-11-1 ATS in the past 17 at home, and 0-4 ATS in the past four overall.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 214.5 (-115) is attractive. The Over has hit in six of the Pistons’ past eight, and is a perfect 6-0 in their past six as a favorite. For the Cavaliers, the Over has connected in five of the previous seven, and seven of the past 10 as a ‘dog.

In loss vs. Detroit, Warriors’ bench score highest total since 2009

Behind Alec Burks and Omari Spellman, the Golden State Warriors bench unit registered their highest-scoring night since 2009.

Against the Detroit Pistons, the Golden State Warriors were down two key contributors heading into the game, late in the third quarter, it didn’t get any easier when Draymond Green was ejected.

Green was thrown out of the game by referee, Tre Maddox with a little under five minutes into the third period, subtracting another player from the Warriors already thin lineup.

With Green hitting the showers early, and both D’Angelo Russell (shoulder) and Kevon Looney (abdomen) ruled out, someone needed to handle a bulk of the minutes against Detroit.

It wasn’t just one player, but the entire Golden State Warriors bench unit carried the load against the Pistons. The understaffed Warriors couldn’t overcome the pairing of Derrick Rose and Andre Drummond. Yet, their bench ended up turning in a valiant effort.

Breakout journeyman, Alec Burks came off the bench to lead the Warriors in scoring with 27 on 5-of-13 shooting from the field. Burks was a technician getting to the charity stripe, knocking down 14-of-14 attempts from the free-throw line against Detroit. The Colorado product added seven board and five assists, potentially boosting his trade value.

Behind Burks was big-man Omari Spellman, who provided the Warriors with a spark off the bench against the Pistons. The former Villanova Wildcat scored 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field, adding a perfect 4-of-4 from beyond the arc. Late in the fourth quarter against Detroit, Spellman threw down a powerful one-handed jam to put an exclamation point on his impressive night off the bench.

After the game, Steve Kerr praised the bench’s effort to reporters, saying the Warriors needed them after their slow start.

“The bench came in a did a great job, and they had to because we got off to a very slow start — second game in a row that we’ve really came out of the gate slow and had to play from behind for pretty much the whole night — it’s a tough way to play, so the bench did a really good job for us.”

Burks, Spellman and the rest of the bench combined for 77 total points, the high for bench points this season and the most since November 9, 2009, against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

With the Warriors’ slim roster struggling near the halfway point of the season, Kerr may need to rely on his bench at a similar rate until Looney and Russell return to the lineup healthy.

Injury Report: Without D’Angelo Russell who will step up vs. Pistons?

After colliding with Luka Doncic, D’Angelo Russell is expected to miss his third straight game with a shoulder injury, this time against the Detroit Pistons.

Before the Golden State Warriors lost their last two games, the team was playing its best basketball of the 2019-20 season. They went on their longest winning streak on the year, victorious in four-straight and even stealing their Christmas day matchup against the Houston Rockets.

Two games later, the Warriors have looked more like the team their 9-27 record reflects.

Although the team is still without both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, in December, Steve Kerr had a reasonably deep rotation for one of the first times all season. Again, the injury bug found its way back into the Warriors locker room.

The Athletic’s Anthony Slater reported D’Angelo Russell (right shoulder contusion) and Kevon Looney (abdominal soreness are still ruled out for the Warriors’ first game of the new year in the Chase Center against the Detroit Pistons.

Detroit will be Russell’s third straight game he’s been held out since colliding with Luka Doncic of the Mavericks. Russell was down on the floor for a significant amount of time after running into Doncic but quickly returned to the game after a short trip to the locker room.

Russell played out the last minutes against the Mavericks; however, the All-Star guard hasn’t been able to suit up for Golden State as the calendar has turned to 2020.

Along with Russell, hobbled big man, Looney is scheduled to miss game number 22 on the season. The UCLA product has dealt with a complicated neuropathy injury and is now dealing with left abdominal soreness. Golden State has been patient with Looney’s injuries as they signed him to a three-year contract worth $15 million over the offseason.

After joining Russell and Looney on the bench for the previous two games, Willie Cauley-Stein is listed as questionable against the Pistons. Cauley-Stein has been dealing with an illness that’s been making its way through the Warriors’ clubhouse.

Although Golden State is expected to be understaffed when Detroit makes its first-ever appearance in Chase Center, the Warriors still have a chance for victory, as the Pistons are dealing with their share of injuries as well.

Rod Beard of The Detroit News reported Blake Griffin (knee), Luke Kennard (knee) and Markieff Morris (foot sprain) are all listed as out on the Detroit injury report.

Without Russell over the past two games, Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III have led the Warriors in scoring. Burks has been one of Golden State’s primary offensive initiators without Russell. Burks has started the past two games while Russell’s been on the bench, scoring 35 total points on 48 % shooting from the field. Burks also added five 3-pointers on six attempts in his last two contests.

Alongside Burks, Robinson III has tallied 41 combined points on an efficient 54.8 % from the field. The former Michigan Wolverine is averaging nearly 36 minutes per game over the last two games, shooting 50 % from beyond the arc, while grabbing nine total boards.

If the injury report doesn’t change by the time things tip-off between the Warriors and the Pistons, expect Kerr to lean heavily on his swingman duo of Burks and Robinson III.

Prediction

Spurs 111, Pistons 104

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Spurs to win outright returns a profit of $4.80.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The SPURS (-5.5, -106) are worth a small-unit bet, as the Pistons (+5.5, -115) are just too banged up right now. Plus, the Pistons are 1-5 ATS in the past six games overall, and 3-9-1 ATS in their past 13 games on the road. San Antonio is 4-1-1 ATS in the past six games overall, and 7-3 ATS in their past 10 against Detroit.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 220.5 (+105) is an intriguing play at plus-money. The Under is 6-2 in the past eight meetings in this series, and 4-0 in the past four meetings in San Antonio, too. The Under is also 7-1 in the past eight for the Pistons.

Wizards at Pistons: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated 1 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Wizards 128, Pistons 119

Moneyline (ML)

The WIZARDS (+220) just beat the Pistons (-278) by a 133-119 score Dec. 19 at LCA, and they’re 2-0 SU/ATS vs. Detroit this season. What you have to like about Washington is its bombs away perimeter shooting. It ranks third from behind the 3-point line, while the Pistons are a dismal 23rd in 3-pointer defense.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Wizards to win outright returns a profit of $22.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The WIZARDS (+5.5, -106) are a nice play against the spread. As mentioned, they’re 2-0 ATS against the Pistons (-5.5, -115), who enter the game on a five-game losing skid while also going 0-5 ATS. They have averaged just 105.4 PPG in the past five while allowing 120.6 PPG.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 231.5 (-106) is where it’s at. The Pistons are terrible defensively, especially lately, while the Wizards have been dropping in plenty of triples. Washington was 18-of-34 (53.0 percent) from behind the 3-point line in the Dec. 16 meeting. The offenses might not be as prolific in this one, but an Over bet is still the way to go.
