Pistons vs Nets NBA Preview
The Pistons have dropped four straight games.
So, I expect to see absolute maximum effort from Detroit here, especially after losing to this same Nets team over the weekend.
I was initially going to lay the 14.5 points on the spread, but I don't love the number given the circumstances.
Ausar Thompson is still out for Detroit. Caris LeVert is also out.
That goes against them covering big numbers overall, even if it's against a terrible Nets squad.
These two teams faced off just a few days ago.
In that game, the Nets somehow came back late and were able to clip the win, but Brooklyn still only went just over its team total set for tonight of over/under 100.5.
Pistons vs Nets Predictions, Betting Analysis
I think this is an absolute revenge spot for the Pistons.
They are going to be all-in, likely locking up Brooklyn at the defensive end of the floor.
I don't see Brooklyn scoring 100 points in this game.
Give me the Nets team total under 100.5 points.
Pick: Nets Team Total Under 100.5 (+105)
