Trail Blazers at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 116, Pistons 111

Moneyline

AVOID.

While the home underdog could be enticing, the Pistons are 1-3 straight up over their last 4 road games and have lost 9 of their last 10. Similarly, Portland (-24) is too pricey to back even though it should win.

Against the spread

LEAN PISTONS +5.5 (-108).

The Pistons have lost 9 of their last 10, but they are 5-5 ATS in that span. They have covered 3 straight games at home despite having lost 2 in a row there.

The Trail Blazers are 1-3 ATS over their last 4 road games and are just 15-17 ATS on the road this season.

For a partial unit given the trends, lean PISTONS +5.5 (-108).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 230.5 (-115).

The Pistons are 1-4 O/U in their last 5 games, and 4 of their last 7 scorers, including their top 2 scoring options, will be sidelined. That has hurt their production as they’ve put up fewer than 100 points in 2 of their last 4 games and fewer than 107 in 4 of their last 5.

The Blazers are 1-3 O/U in their last 4 games as well and have scored 111 points or fewer in 3 of the 4. Ultimately, back the UNDER 230.5 (-115).

Portland Trail Blazers at Detroit Pistons odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Portland Trail Blazers at Detroit Pistons NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Portland Trail Blazers (28-18) take on the Detroit Pistons (13-33)  Wednesday night on the road. Tip-off is at 7:10 p.m. at Little Caesar’s Arena. Below, we analyze the Trail Blazers-Pistons odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Portland is wrapping up a four-game Eastern Conference road trip with tonight’s game in Detroit. The Blazers have gone undefeated in this road swing thus far and have won six of their last eight games overall. They currently sit at the sixth seed in the West and have a 2.5-game lead there. If the season ended today, they would be in the playoffs and would not have to worry about the play-in series. They are led by G Damian Lillard, who is second in the NBA in scoring, averaging 29.8 points per game.

Detroit sits in last place in the East. The Pistons’ 118-104 win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday snapped a three-game losing streak. They are 8-13 at home, giving them the second-fewest home wins in the entire league. They are led by F Jerami Grant’s 22.6 points per game.

Trail Blazers at Pistons: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Trail Blazers 115, Pistons 110

Money line (ML)

Only four teams have more road victories this season than the Blazers’ 14 wins away from home. The Pistons have won at home only eight times this season. Only two teams have fewer home wins. A playoff-bound team playing well against a last-place team seems like an easy call to take the Blazers at -275, but it is a chalky play. Having to wager nearly three times what you can win, you are better off going with the spread or the total.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Pistons, despite being in last place in the East, have the eighth-highest cover percentage in the league at 55.6%. They are 12-9 ATS at home this season. They have covered the spread in three of their last four games and six of their last eight. The Blazers is only 23-23 ATS overall but 14-9 ATS on the road. They are 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games. Take the PISTONS +6.5 (-105). 

Over/Under (O/U)

Three of Detroit’s last four games have gone Over the total. All three games of the Blazers’ road trip have gone Over, and they are 14-9 O/U on the road. They have scored an average of 117.8 points per game over their last four. Detroit has averaged 108 PPG in their last four games. Take OVER 220.5 POINTS (-115).
