Detroit Pistons vs Los Angeles Clippers prediction
I’ve been pounding the table for the Los Angeles Clippers pretty much all season, as I believe they’re the team to beat in terms of an NBA title as long as they stay healthy. The Clippers could blow the doors off here. However, it is an early start, especially for a west coast team, and the Clippers could be in a look ahead spot with the Timberwolves and Warriors on deck. Also, the Pistons have been a lot more competitive lately, which includes two straight wins and covers in 8 of their last 10 games. Give me the Pistons and the boatload of buckets.
