According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, the Pistons and Pacers are listed as a pick'em for tonight's game. The over-under is set at 210 points.
Detroit comes in with a 10-4 overall record and is 10-3-1 ATS after a 99-95 loss at the Bucks. Indiana is 7-8 overall and 8-7 ATS following a 116-113 victory at the Grizzlies. The Pistons topped the visiting Pacers 114-97 back on Nov. 8. It snapped a six-game win streak by Indiana straight up and ATS in the series dating back to the 2015-16 season. The over-under has gone 4-3 in those seven meetings.
In the loss at Milwaukee, Avery Bradley led the way with 28 points and five assists. Andre Drummond contributed 13 points and 17 rebounds. Tobias Harris added 13 points. The game was tied 41-41 at halftime, but the Pistons were outscored 34-21 in the third quarter.
Darren Collison tallied 30 points and eight assists in the win at Memphis, going 12-for-12 from the free throw line. Victor Oladipo had 21 points, six rebounds and three assists. Bojan Bogdanovic added 16 points. The Pacers led 67-53 at halftime.
Detroit is 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings in Indiana. The over is 12-5 in the last 17 meetings.
Detroit had its five-game win streak snapped at Milwaukee, but still kept it competitive in a tough road environment. Indiana is coming off one of its best performances this season in winning at Memphis, but did it against an undermanned Grizzlies team without Mike Conley. We like the Pistons to get back on track here and get a second win this season over the Pacers, riding the likes of Harris and Drummond to victory.
