Game Totals Pick
Over 215.0(-115)

The Detroit Pistons will be hosting the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday and will be encouraged by the fact that Cade Cunningham’s hip issue is not too serious, with the star listed as probable to play. He is second in the league in assists per game and will be crucial to making their offense tick. The visitors will have Michael Porter Jr. returning to the lineup with the forward having missed their last game. In the previous 2 games he has appeared in he managed 36 and 38 points, respectively. With his inclusion in the lineup, the Nets offense should reach their full potential.

Over the last 10 games the Pistons have been playing up tempo basketball, ranking 11th in the league in pace. The Nets during that stretch have ranked 29th in the league in defensive rating so with the tempo, the Pistons should get plenty of opportunities to exploit these weaknesses. They put up 125 points against them the last time these sides met and will have a great chance of putting up similar numbers. The Nets have ranked in the top 10 in the league in 3-point makes per game however, and with Porter Jr. available, should be able to do damage from deep themselves. As a result, the line being set at 215 seems too low, back the over.

Brooklyn Nets vs Detroit Pistons prediction: Over 215 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable to over 216.5.

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
