Detroit Pistons vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction NBA Picks 11/3/24

Pistons at Nets at 3:30 PM ET

The Detroit Pistons are currently experiencing a difficult season, having lost five out of their first six games. After a disappointing home defeat against the Knicks, with a score of 128-98 on Friday, the team is looking to enhance their performance. Cade Cunningham was the leading scorer with 22 points, complemented by six rebounds and six assists on 10 of 19 shooting. Tobias Harris contributed 13 points, eight rebounds, and three assists, while Jaden Ivey added 10 points to the team’s efforts.

The Brooklyn Nets have been performing well recently, securing victories in three out of their last four games. They are now looking to achieve a third consecutive win following their 120-112 triumph over the Bulls at home on Friday. Cam Thomas was the standout player, contributing 32 points on 11 of 23 shooting. Additionally, Cam Johnson supported the team with 14 points, six rebounds, and five assists, while both Nic Claxton and Keon Johnson added 12 points each.

The Pick:

The Pistons have had a challenging start to their season, and their confidence has taken a hit following a significant loss to the Knicks in their last game. On the other hand, the Nets have been gradually improving and appear to offer good value with the current line being relatively short. This matchup may be closely fought, but I believe the Nets will sustain their form and achieve both a win and a cover.

Atlanta Hawks vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction NBA Picks 11/3/24

Hawks at Pelicans at 7 PM ET

The Atlanta Hawks find themselves in a difficult situation, aiming to break a four-game losing streak after suffering a 123-115 defeat against the Kings on Friday. Trae Young led the scoring with 25 points and also recorded 12 assists. Garrison Matthews was instrumental off the bench, sinking seven 3-pointers for a total of 23 points, while Clint Capela contributed with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

The New Orleans Pelicans have managed to split their first six games of the season, and they are eager to build on their recent success after ending a three-game losing streak with a 125-118 win against the Pacers on Friday. Zion Williamson led the charge with an impressive performance, scoring 34 points and dishing out 10 assists on 70% shooting. Brandon Ingram also made significant contributions with 26 points and seven assists, while Jordan Hawkins added 23 points, shooting 41% from the field.

The Pick:

The Hawks are currently dealing with the absence of several important players, such as Bogdan Bogdanovic, De’Andre Hunter, and Cody Zeller, among others. On the other hand, the Pelicans are still without CJ McCollum and Dejounte Murray. The Hawks are encountering difficulties, and while it is easy to place the blame on Young, it is clear that he is not getting enough consistent support from his teammates. The Pelicans have not fared much better, as they too are missing two of their key players; however, they managed to achieve a victory against the Pacers on Friday. The Hawks have the potential to pull off an upset if Young receives the necessary help from his teammates, but given the Pelicans’ impressive performance in their last outing, they appear poised to secure another home win.

Orlando Magic vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction NBA Picks 11/3/24

Magic at Mavericks at 7:30 PM ET

The Orlando Magic faced losses against the Bulls and the Cavaliers. They are currently averaging 111.8 points with a shooting accuracy of 44.9 percent while allowing 109.8 points at a shooting rate of 45.9 percent. Paolo Banchero is the standout player, averaging 29 points and 5.6 assists, and Jalen Suggs is contributing with 18.7 points and 5.5 rebounds. The team has a three-point shooting percentage of 34.4 and a free-throw percentage of 73.3.

The Dallas Mavericks secured a victory against the Timberwolves but suffered a defeat to the Rockets. Currently, the Mavericks are averaging 110.8 points per game with a shooting percentage of 44 percent, while they permit an average of 109.4 points on 43.5 percent shooting. Luka Doncic is contributing an average of 27.2 points and 6 assists, whereas Kyrie Irving is averaging 24.6 points along with 4.6 rebounds. Additionally, the Mavericks are making 35.8 percent of their three-point attempts and achieving a free throw percentage of 76 percent.

The Pick:

The Dallas Mavericks have not managed to cover the spread in four out of their last five contests, and they are still striving to establish a consistent offensive performance. On the other hand, the Orlando Magic remain without their leading player, Paolo Banchero, making it difficult for them to compensate for his absence. I question whether the Magic have sufficient talent to match the Mavericks if they begin to gain traction. While I am hesitant about the substantial point spread, I find myself leaning towards the Mavericks, especially considering the Magic’s loss of their young star.
