  • The Pistons have covered the spread in 10 of their last 11 home games following a loss.
  • Ten of the Pistons’ last 11 home games against Eastern Conference opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

Pacers vs Pistons prediction

This is a look ahead spot for the Pacers with a west road trip coming up. The Detroit Pistons have also been a lot more competitive than their record suggests. With that said, the Pacers have an offense that the Pistons can’t keep up with, and Indiana rocked Detroit by 14 points a month ago. The Pistons have scored 101 or fewer points in each of their last three games, and that’s just not going to be good enough against this Pacers squad. I’ll lay the points with the Pacers in what should be a blowout road win.
