Pistons vs Nets Prediction
The home team usually has the edge when other teams are on the end of a back-to-back, and it doesn’t hurt that the Pistons are as hot as they’ve been in a decade. The Nets are letting games slip away, and you have to wonder if they’d rather have a higher draft pick than sneaking into the play-in tournament. The Pistons are 2-0 against the Nets this season and have won those games by an average of 14.5 points. The Pistons are 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. I’m riding with the Pistons for a bounce back game.
