Betting on the Detroit Pistons
- Regular Season Record: 12-37
The Pistons’ poor season continues and it doesn’t look like it will improve anytime soon. This team is one of the worst teams in the league, not only because of its record, but also in its overall performance. The team arrives to this game being at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and beating the Houston Rockets by just one win of difference.
The Pistons suffered their fourth loss in a row, getting defeated 150-130 by the Milwaukee Bucks at home last Monday. The team wasted a very good performance by veteran Bojan Bogdanovic, who scored 33 points. Meanwhile, young Jalen Duren recorded a double-double of 23 points and 15 assists.
Despite those 130 points in their previous game, the Pistons have been rather poor on offense this campaign, with an average of 112.4 points scored per game and 45.4% shooting from the field. Moreover, their defense is now the second worst in the NBA, with an average of 120.3 points allowed.
Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Regular Season Record: 29-17
Although not everything has been good, the Nets have managed to deal, in the last few games, with the absence of their star player, Kevin Durant. Indeed, they defeated teams like the Utah Jazz and the Golden State Warriors on the road, something very positive considering that they had lost their first four games without the 34-year-old forward.
Playing at home considerably improves the Nets’ chances of getting a good result out of this game, given that they have had an average of 114.7 points scored and that their defense has been very solid at this venue. The team has been averaging 109.5 points allowed and limiting their opponents to a shooting percentage of just 45.6% from the field.
JefeBet Prediction
The Nets will arrive to this game having played the night before, a condition in which they have not performed badly, with five wins in eight games, but they have barely covered the spread in three of those games. It will certainly not be an easy game.
That’s great news for a Pistons team that has a 6-19 record playing away from home, with an average of just 110.6 points scored. Something the team will have in their favor is the fact that they have two more days of rest than their rival, so they will be able to press with more intensity until the end.
Although they won just one of their last eight meetings with the Nets, the Pistons managed to cover the spread six times during that stretch, something that speaks to how competitive these games tend to be. So, with Durant injured, and the Nets showing up a bit depleted, we think the Pistons will be able to put up a fight once again and at least not lose by a huge difference.
Prediction: Detroit Pistons Spread.
