Detroit Pistons vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

I'm not ready to say the Detroit Pistons are good, but they've won 3 of their last 4 games and just turned the Lakers and Suns into turnover machines. The Pistons are blitzing defensively and it's worth a watch. The Sacramento Kings have underachieved all season and aren't a team I'm thrilled to be back in the favorite role. The Kings are 4 games below a .500 record and are 10-19-1 ATS. The Kings are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. I'll grab the points with the Pistons.
