The Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Pistons are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Monday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 4-0 in Pacers last 4 overall. The under is 4-0 in Pistons last 4 Monday games. The Pacers are 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Detroit.

The Indiana Pacers just beat the Pistons on the road a couple of days ago, and they need to do it again to improve their playoff odds. The Detroit Pistons have been in tank mode much of the season, and they lose at home by an average of 5.9 points. I expect much of what we saw on Saturday. Give me Pacers and the reasonable chalk.
