Pistons at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 129, Pistons, 114

Moneyline

The Pistons have only 4 road wins all season and only 1 of those came against a team with a winning record.

The Suns are 16-11 at home and are 13-4 in their last 17 games overall.

This is almost a no-brainer as to who will win the game, but it isn't worth the action to bet the Suns on the moneyline at -950.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Pistons, despite a terrible win-loss record, have been pretty good against the spread. They are 27-26-1 ATS overall this season and 14-12 ATS on the road.

And while the Suns are 10-17-1 ATS at home and 22-30-2 ATS overall, they have covered the spread in all of their last 7 victories. Ans they beat the Pistons by 14 in Detroit when they met in November.

The Pistons are 5-4 ATS with no rest and the Suns are 4-4 ATS on the 2nd game of a back-to-back. After a 14-point loss on Tuesday, the Pistons will lose by a lot again.

BET SUNS -13 (-108).
