Los Angeles Clippers vs Detroit Pistons prediction
I’ve been pounding the drum for the Los Angeles Clippers for a while now, claiming they are the best team in the league and my pick to win the title, assuming they can stay healthy. The Detroit Pistons have also been fade material for much of the season. With all that said, this will be the Clippers fifth straight rad game, and they go down to Miami after this. Also, the Pistons have been more competitive lately, and they’ve covered 8 of their last 10 games. Thick is a big line. I’m to grab the points with the Pistons at home.
