Saturday’s NBA Prediction
AUBURN HILLS, MI (TheSpread) – The Detroit Pistons look to establish a winning streak when they host the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. Here is a breakdown of my pick for this game.
Detroit is 13-26 on the season and 9-9 at home The Pistons have won just 3 of their last 10 games but are coming off a win Friday night. Sacramento is 9-28 on the year and 3-13 on the road. The Kings have won 4 of their last 10 games.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have released their odds for this game and they have made the Pistons a 5.5-point favorite at home. The over/under total has been set at 198.5 points. Here are some trends to consider and my pick for tonight’s game:
Sacramento Kings vs. Detroit Pistons, 7:30PM ET (View Matchup)
The road team is 6-0 against the spread in the last 6 games in this series and the underdog has covered in the last 4 meetings. The Pistons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games after playing the previous day. My pick is with the Kings as the Pistons are coming off a road trip last night and are still having issues on the team due to trade rumors. I look for the Kings to play close and maybe even win.
