The Pistons are without Blake Griffin for the rest of the season and Luke Kennard is also out while Andre Drummond is questionable. Drummond is averaging 17.3 points and 15.6 rebounds per game. Derrick Rose is leading the way with 18.8 points and 6.0 assists per contest.

Nets can’t get started

NBA Betting Trends

Detroit

The Pistons are 4-11 against the spread in their last 15 games following a loss and 7-18-2 ATS in their last 27 games as a road underdog.

Brooklyn

The Nets are 1-5 against the spread in their last six games playing on two days rest and 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following a loss.

Prediction:

The Nets picked up a 121-111 win at Detroit just four days ago, but that was also an OT game. The Nets as such a big favorite is concerning. However, Detroit is very beat up and the Pistons don’t have a lot of playmakers to offer, especially if Drummond is out tonight. The Nets didn’t have Irving in their last game as he wanted some time following the passing of Kobe Bryant, a mentor to him. He is expected back tonight and I think we will see a very motivated effort from him to honor his fallen friend. Irving can be unstoppable when he wants to be, and I think he will make a run at a big night tonight and lead the Nets to a dominant win.

NBA Prediction: Brooklyn Nets -8.5
