Pistons vs Kings Prediction
The Pistons are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home with the rest advantage. However, the Pistons have lost three of their last four games, and we’re still seeing Harris on the injury report. While the Kings have been underwhelming, they’re coming off a big win yesterday over the Cavs, and they’re still fighting for playoff seeding.
The Kings jumped into the ninth seed with yesterday’s win, and that’s big considering they’d get a home game against the Mavs. The Kings have won two straight games and have covered four of their last six games. Big game for both teams in terms of seeding, but I’m going to grab the points with the Kings.
