Pistons vs Nets prediction
On paper, the Nets should win this game, especially at home with the rest advantage. However, there’s no way in hell I’m laying this many points with the Nets, an underachieving team that has nothing to play for at this stage. Heck, we saw the Pistons and Nets meet a month ago and Detroit pulled the upset as 2.5 point underdogs. The Pistons have 39 covers on the season, while the Nets have 33 covers. This line is nuts if we’re being honest. Give me the Pistons and the points.
