Betting on the Detroit Pistons
- Regular season record: 16-60
The Detroit team is playing their second of three consecutive away games this Friday, following their narrow 107-106 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. The Pistons have lost seven games in a row and have suffered 13 losses out of 14 games in March.
What’s more, they have the third-worst offense in the league, scoring an average of 110.7 points per game. On top of that, their defense is fourth-worst, allowing an average of 118.6 points per game. After this Friday’s game, they’ll have five more games to play, three of which will be on the road.
Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular season record: 18-59
The Pistons have the worst record in the Eastern Conference, while the Rockets hold that same title in the Western Conference. The Houston team returns to their home court after a five-game road trip, which ended on Wednesday with a 123-114 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. What’s more, they have seven consecutive losses and in three of those seven games, they have allowed 130 or more points.
The Rockets have the second-worst offense in the league with 110.4 converted points per game, and their defense is the third worst, allowing 118.9 points per game. They have a young group of players, including Jalen Green, who leads the team in scoring with an average of 21.9 points per game. In addition, Kevin Porter Jr. recorded an average of 18.7 points and 5.8 assists.
JefeBet Prediction
While this may not be the most attractive game of the day, the fact that both teams tend to give up a lot of points could make for an interesting matchup. In March, Houston has won five games, compared to just one for Detroit. It’s worth noting that during this month, the Rockets secured victories against playoff teams like the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and New Orleans Pelicans, all three wins coming consecutively.
The Rockets are playing at home and have a recent track record of success, which leads us to believe they could have an advantage in this game. Therefore, at JefeBet, we think the Rockets could come out on top, as they’ve shown more competitive ability in recent weeks, with a team of players who always try to match their opponents, despite the results.
Prediction: Houston Rockets Moneyline (DET 107-118 HOU).
