Pistons vs Kings Prediction
The Pistons have the ability to blow the doors off here because the Kings suck. However, this is a lot of points and I do question just how motivated the Pistons will be to lay the wood in an early start on Sunday afternoon. A win and get out situation. Also, the Kings are 3-0 ATS and 2-1 SU over the last two weeks as a double-digit underdog. This simply feels like too many points to pass up despite there being a large gap between the teams. It’s Kings and the points or pass for me.
