The Pacers are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Detroit.
I continue to have issues figuring out the Indiana Pacers, but they’re finding ways to finish games now, and they’ve covered six of their last eight games. The Detroit Pistons aren’t winning or covering numbers, and they’re losing at home by an average of 11 points while shooting 38.6 percent from the field. It’s Pacers or pass for me. The Pistons are terrible.
