The San Antonio Spurs are a banged up basketball team that’s on the end of a back to back, which is usually a disaster. However, the Detroit Pistons are a team I’ll continue to fade until they show signs of improvement, as they don’t play a lick of defense, the losses are piling up and they don’t cover enough games to get my attention. Even with players out, I have trust the Spurs can grind a win out against one of the worst teams in the league. I’ll lay the bucket.
