Spurs at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Spurs 129, Pistons 120

Moneyline

The SPURS (-164) are actually a good bet to win this game outright, even as a rather moderate favorite. Both of these teams have endured lengthy losing streaks this season, and this game represents a rare opportunity for a victory.

The Pistons (+138) would have been a tempting play before Cunningham's knee injury, which will keep him sidelined for at least another week. Detroit has it hard enough, and it can ill-afford to be without its leading scorer.

Against the spread

The SPURS -3.5 (-114) are worth a look to win this road game by 2 buckets.

San Antonio catches the Pistons +3.5 (-106) in a tough spot, having suffered a 131-110 setback against the Kings on Tuesday night. Since topping the Toronto Raptors to end a historic losing streak, Detroit has dropped 5 in a row, while going just 2-3 ATS.

Over/Under

OVER 239.5 (-108) is a strong play, as the Over has cashed in the past 2 games for the Pistons, while going 8-1 in the previous 9 outings. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 contests for the Pistons against Western Conference teams, too.

For the Spurs, while the Under has connected at a 3-0-1 pace in the past 4 outings, San Antonio has coughed up 125 or more points in 7 of the past 11 games overall. The Over is 7-3-1 in the past 11 games for the Spurs against teams from the Eastern Conference, too.
