NBA Betting Trends

Indiana

The Pacers have covered the spread in six straight after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game, but 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games.

Detroit

The Pistons are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games following a win and 0-4-1 ATS in their last five against Central Division opponents.

Prediction:

The Pacers have won the only meeting this season, but that was when both teams looked very different. The Pacers have been putting up points lately, but that isn’t going to happen in Detroit tonight. The Pistons are a good defensive team and have seen a scoring burst lately. Offense has been the issue for Detroit most of this season, so if the Pistons can hit their groove on offense, they are going to be tough to beat. I think Detroit makes a statement tonight and proves that it can be a contender for the playoffs in the East.

NBA Prediction: Detroit Pistons -2.5
