Dallas Mavericks vs Detroit Pistons prediction

The Dallas Mavericks have the offense to blow the doors off, but they’ve been shaky over the last few weeks, and they remain poor defensively most nights. The Detroit Pistons don’t win a lot of games, but they continue to play hard, and they’ve covered 32 of 62 games. It would shock nobody to see this game come down to the final minutes due to the Mavs inability to string together stops. Give me the home dog.
