Pistons Spotlight

The Detroit Pistons just lost their 7th game in a row, this time to the Portland Trailblazers, failing to cover the 7.5 point spread in the process. On the road, the Pistons rank 29th in points per game, 27th in field goal percentage, and 28th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road, the Pistons rank 19th in points allowed, 27th in field goal percentage, 25th in 3-point shooting, and 15th in rebounding. 

Suns Spotlight

The Phoenix Suns continue their torrid streak, pulling off their 17th win a row, this time against the Golden State Warriors, while they covered the 3.5-point spread. Offensively at home, the Suns rank 9th in points per game, 4th in field goal percentage, and 9th in 3-point shooting. On the defensive side at home, the Suns rank 11th in points allowed, 6th in field goal percentage, 23rd in 3-point shooting, and 15th in rebounding. 

Final Say

Phoenix has been the hottest team in the NBA, but sooner or later this team is going to falter, but against a Detroit team that’s gone 2-17 SU in their last 19 games on the road? Probably not falter, but the Pistons should give them a battle as they’ve been a competitive bunch, going 4-2 ATS in their last six games. They’ve also owed this series, going 8-1 SU and ATS in their last nine games versus the Suns. They’ve also gone 7-2 ATS in their last nine games in Phoenix. The Suns just beat the likes of the Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors, both potential NBA Finals opponents, so it’s hard to imagine that they go full throttle in this game. The Suns will probably win, but I’ll take the free points in what should be a come-down game for the Suns.

Pick: Detroit Pistons +12.5
