Pistons vs Suns Injury Report

The Pistons don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

The Suns will be without Jalen Green and Jamaree Bouyea. Devin Booker and Nigel Hayes-Davis are questionable.

Pistons vs Suns Prediction

I’m only interested in the Suns if Booker is good to go, so check the injury report before betting. With that said, the Pistons have been hit or miss ATS over the last few weeks, while the Suns are 27-11-2 ATS on the season. With a cover percentage of over 70 percent, no team in the NBA is close to good as the Suns this season at putting money in your pocket.

The Suns are 6-3 ATS in their last 9 games when underdogs of 5 or more points. The Pistons are 4-7 ATS in their last 11 games when favorites of 5 or more points. Give me the Suns and the free buckets.
