Detroit Pistons vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction

The Pistons have taken care of business in back-to-back road games and that needs to continue if they’re to be taken seriously in the East. The Pistons have a chance to move up to the fourth seed and get home court in the first round if they keep winning. The Mavs still have an injury report from hell and it’s led to them falling out of the play-in tournament. The Mavs are 1-9 SU and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The sky is falling in Dallas. The only option in this spot is to lay the points with the Pistons.
