At Moda Center on Thursday, the Portland Trail Blazers (15-35) take on the Detroit Pistons (7-43). The game is set to begin at 10 p.m. ET. Let’s examine the lines provided by FanDuel Sportsbook for the Pistons vs. Trail Blazers game and provide our professional NBA predictions and picks.
Season series: Trail Blazers lead 1-0 with their Nov. 1 road victory of 110-101.
In the first encounter, Portland defeated Detroit as a 3.5-point underdog when the Under (216.5) struck.
The Pistons surprised the Kings on Wednesday in Sacramento, winning 133-120 despite being 13.5-point favorites, and the Over (238.5) came in. The Pistons have accelerated their winning streak to three in their last seven games while covering the spread at a 10-2 ATS rate. In three of the last four games, the over has come in.
Despite losing both of their back-to-back games in Denver on Friday and Sunday, the Trail Blazers managed to cover the spread in both occasions. In reality, over the last 15 games, Portland has won four in a row, and the Under has a slim 10-5 advantage. In the last 11 attempts versus Eastern Conference clubs, Portland is also 8-3 ATS.
You will pay more than twice as much for the Trail Blazers (-215), which is a significant risk for a comparatively small payoff. Even though the Pistons (+180) have only won ten games, three of those games have occurred in the last two weeks.
Portland has also won three of its last seven games, including home victories over the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks. Even if the Blazers have been performing better lately, this is still too much to gamble on one play.
The PISTONS +5.5 (-108) have covered four times in the last five games and are 10-2 against the spread in the previous twelve contests. Although Detroit hasn’t been winning many games by a wide margin, it has been winning a lot of covers.
Both of these clubs are among the hottest in The Association against the number, with the Trail Blazers -5.5 (-112) having cashed in 9 of the previous 12 games. But as a favorite this season, Portland is 1-3 ATS. Assist the guests.
