Pacers at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 138, Pistons 124

Moneyline

PASS.

Indiana should pick up the win here, but a -275 favorite is never worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

LEAN PACERS -6.5 (-110).

Indiana is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 overall and holds a 3-2 edge ATS in the last 5 matchups with Detroit. The Pacers are also 12-8 ATS on the season while the Pistons are only 9-13. Indiana is much better offensively than Detroit, and both teams are bad defensively, so Indiana's offensive edge will make them a safe bet to cover.

Over/Under

BET OVER 247.5 (-110).

The Over is 16-4 for the Pacers on the season and 12-10 for the Pistons this year. The Over has also hit in back-to-back Pacers-Pistons matchups and is 5-1 in the last 6 of such matchups.

Indiana scores a league-best 128.4 PPG and should eclipse that number vs. this bad Pistons defense, so the Over should be a lock here.
