Detroit Pistons vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Detroit Pistons are in better shape than most would’ve thought at this stage, but I’m still not excited to back them just yet. I need to see more to be convinced. The Houston Rockets are the deeper, more talented team and have beaten up on the Pistons in past meetings. The Pistons still have issues on the offensive side, and they have had trouble defending the three at times. The line is reasonable. I’m rolling with the Rockets on the road.
