The Pistons are going to be favored because they’ve been the more consistent team in terms of wins and losses. The Suns are also banged up. However, these teams met just two weeks ago and it was a three-point game. The Suns have also been doubted by oddsmakers all year, and yet they’re winning games and 30-15-2 ATS. With a cover percentage of 66.6 percent, the Suns are the best cover team in the NBA. The Suns are 10-5 ATS in their last 15 games as an underdog. Since December, the Suns are 3-0 SU as a home underdog. Give me the points.
