Pacers vs Pistons Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
DET Pistons -9.5(-110)

Owners of the NBA’s worst record along with the Washington Wizards, the Indiana Pacers are looking to end a 7-game losing streak as they head to Detroit on Monday night. This was a massive rivalry game in the early 2000s, but since then these two teams have taken very different paths to get where they are today. Indy is just unable to get over the injury bug that has them losing games by an average of 14.6 points per game. Offensively this is the worst team in the league, scoring an average of just 104.3 points per 100 possessions. In the underdog role they are 1-10 SU this season, while in road games they are yet to record a win in 7 attempts.

Meanwhile, the Pistons are the complete opposite. They’ve won 8 of 9 games as favorites this season and are 11-2 SU on the season which is their best start in almost two decades. They’ve lost only once at home and currently have a 6-game win streak active there, they might be getting Cade Cunningham back from his hip injury for this one. He has not played since his 46-point performance vs Washington where he took 45 field goal attempts. His absence wasn’t felt almost at all, the Pistons look like a well-oiled machine with others stepping in whenever someone is missing from the line-up.

With the lowest offensive rating and the lowest effective field goal percentage, it’s really hard to consider the Pacers against teams like the Pistons. Detroit has a sizeable gap atop of the East right now, beating teams like the struggling Pacers is a must if they want to keep hold of the number one seed. I’ll take Detroit to cover as double-digit favorites.

Pacers vs Pistons prediction: Pistons -9.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
