Brooklyn Nets vs Detroit Pistons prediction
I’ve been backing the Pistons a lot this season because they’re a lot more competitive than their record suggests. The Pistons are 31-30 ATS on the season, so you can make money on them picking your spots. With that said, the public has bet this line down since the opener, and grabbing just two points is saying you think the Pistons win outright. I’m never willing to say the Pistons will win outright. The Brooklyn Nets have their issues as well, but they also have 16 more wins than the Pistons. With the soft line, I have to lean toward the Nets. The Nets have won 9 of the last 10 meetings against the Pistons, including twice in December.
