Pistons at Suns: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Suns 115, Pistons 105
Money line (ML)
The Suns have cooled off from their hot start, losing six of their last 10 games and three of their last four at home. However, the Pistons have only won one game all season on the road. The Suns already lost to the Pistons earlier this season in one of their most disappointing games of the year.
They will miss Crowder on defense and for spacing the floor, and Saric's absence has been felt as well, but they are still sixth in the league in defensive efficiency while the Pistons are 24th in offensive efficiency. Take the SUNS (-375).
Against the spread (ATS)
The Suns' overall record mirrors perfectly their record against the spread. In every win, they have covered the spread, and in every loss, they failed to do so. Detroit is 11-9-1 ATS this season and beats the spread by 2.1 points per game. Phoenix has won three of four overall, and they have covered the spread in three of their last four games. Take the SUNS -8.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Phoenix still has one of the lowest Over percentages in the league at 40 percent. The Suns' loss earlier this season to Detroit went Under the total but would have been Over tonight's total by half a point. Two of the Pistons' last three games have gone Under. Both teams combine to average 218 points and allow a combined 221 points per game. With the total at 214.5, take OVER 214.5 POINTS (-110).
