Pistons vs Spurs Prediction
You can talk yourself into the Spurs and the free bucket, as they’re one of the better teams in the league and not a team you’re going to get as an underdog often. However, you can also say the Pistons and the small number are more valuable. The Pistons keep putting their hat in the ring as the best team in the league, and they’re 31-23-1 ATS on the season. The Pistons are 21-6 SU at home. I can’t turn down the small number with the Pistons at home with how consistent they’ve been all season.
