Pistons vs Spurs Prediction

It’s going to take more than a couple of wins for me to look in the Spurs’ direction, given the struggles over the last two months. However, the Pistons do have some ugly losses lately, and they’re 3-6-1 ATS in their last 10 games. We’re also seeing key players on the Pistons’ injury report, so you should check for updates before betting.

The Pistons have failed to cover their last three games when favorites of nine or more points, and two of those games were outright losses. This is a lot of points for the Pistons, and these are still important games for the Spurs, with them just three games out of a play-in spot. I’ll take a stab with the Spurs.
