Indiana Pacers vs Detroit Pistons prediction

There’s some concern for a letdown here with the Pacers after being in a crazy atmosphere in the tournament and now going to Detroit to play a team that hasn’t won a game in a month. Can the young Pacers keep that level of intensity? With that said, the Pistons are terrible, and they’re 9-13 ATS despite being big underdogs nightly. The Pacers smacked the Pistons a couple of weeks ago while scoring 136 points. I have to lay the points with the Pacers, but this is a game I’d probably get involved live after feeling things out.
