The Pistons have won 4 of the last 5 games against the Nets, and they’ve covered 8 of the last 10 games. The Pistons are a profitable 6-2 ATS on the season overall. Thick number, but the Pistons are finding their groove while the Nets suck. It is what it is. Give me the Pistons by double-digit points.
