Pacers vs Pistons Prediction
The Pistons have not only won 12 straight games, but they’re 12-4 ATS on the season. There’s no reason to step in front of the Pistons right now. The Pacers continue to lose, they’re 7-9 ATS on the season, and they’re as banged up as any team in the league. Already 12 games below a .500 record and guys still on the injury report, at this point the Pacers should probably be in a tank mode. Get guys healthy next year, snag a top-three pick, and the Pacers are in business. As for this game, give me the Pistons and the chalk.
