Pistons at Rockets picks and predictions
Prediction
Rockets 110, Pistons 100
Moneyline
The Pistons may be on a high from their last win, but this Rockets squad is much better than a Raptors team now without F OG Anunoby. But at the current line it is best to PASS.
Against the spread
Houston is 11-5 ATS at home and 5-2-1 ATS as a favorite at home. They have failed to cover in 3 straight games, which has happened 3 other times this season. Each time the Rockets have won and covered the next game by at least 9 points.
LEAN ROCKETS -9.5 (-110).
Over/Under
The Pistons this season have trended toward the Over (20-12), but now they play a Rockets team whose defense is quite impressive. Houston allows the fewest field goals made per game (39.1) and holds their opponents to a 32.5% on 3-pointers.
Combine that a Detroit defense that allows 30.4 attempts from 3 a game (2nd-lowest) and I like the Under for this game.
BET UNDER 226.5 (-110).
