Detroit Pistons vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Indiana Pacers keep getting the benefit of the doubt I guess because of what they did last year, but they still don't defend, and they're 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games. I don't trust the Pacers and big numbers. The Detroit Pistons keep playing hard, find themselves in close games most nights, and have four wins on the road. The Pistons are a feisty, competitive bunch that's not going to lay down. That could be a problem against a Pacers side that can be soft at times. Give me the points.
