Detroit Pistons Betting Preview
The Detroit Pistons have been in red-hot form as they’ve won 10 of their last 12 games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back in this one after having their two-game win streak halted by the Clippers in a 123-115 road defeat on Wednesday. Cade Cunningham led the team with 37 points, seven rebounds, and 10 assists, Dennis Schroder added 21 points with seven assists off the bench while Malik Beasley chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Pistons shot 52 percent from the field and 11 of 35 from the 3-point line as they did enough to keep the margin within single digits for the entire game. However, they could never get over the hump as they allowed the Clippers to shoot 55 percent from the field for the game. The Pistons will face the Trail Blazers and Wizards following this one.
