Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Regular Season Record: 17-12
- Spread: [Por definir].
- BetMGM Moneyline: [Por definir].
- Over/Under: [Por definir] .
The Nets are one of the hottest teams in the NBA and with their ninth win in their last 10 games, they remain solidly in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
The win for Brooklyn in Toronto was far from easy and came on a Kyrie Irving three-pointer with one second left in the final quarter, something that kept the game from going to overtime.
However, the key to this good moment for the Nets is their defense, which in the ten games mentioned above has only allowed one opponent to score more than 116 points and on six occasions conceded less than 110 .
Thanks to this good performance, they now rank as the ninth team that concedes the fewest points to opponents per game with 110.9 and on Sunday they will surely have another good day when they face one of the worst offenses in the league, the Pistons.
On the offensive end, the duo of Irving and Kevin Durant continue to do their thing and with their help the Nets rank among the best teams in the circuit in field goal percentage and shooting from long distance.
Betting on the Detroit Pistons
- Regular Season Record: 8-23
- Spread: [Por definir].
- BetMGM Moneyline: [Por definir].
- Over/Under: [Por definir] .
The Pistons continue with a season to forget and if it weren’t for the Hornets they would have the worst record in the NBA thanks to seven losses in the last ten games.
One of those drops came Friday night against the Kings, a team against whom Detroit allowed more than 120 points for the third consecutive game. This is a familiar figure for them after ranking as the second defense allowing the second most points per game with an average of 117.6.
Sacramento shot an incredible 52.8 % from the field, something usual for a Pistons team that allows around 48 % from the field and that this Sunday will have to face a Brooklyn team that is the second best in that category.
On the offensive end, things are not going well for Detroit either, and with a 45.9 % shooting percentage from the field, it is difficult for them to eclipse the amount of points that their defense concedes. Bojan Bogdanovic was once again the offensive leader with 22 points, but as a team, they have the eighth-worst average points per game with 110.9.
