Preview

Indiana Pacers will meet Detroit Pistons on Sunday in Boston, this will be the fourth matchup between them as Detroit Pistons have won two of these 3 games and Pacers won only one game which was at home.

Detroit Pistons are coming of 2 wins vs the Oklahoma City Thunder and Philadelphia 76ers and they have been playing hard in every game as of late covering 13 of last 16 games! with one push and only 2 ATS losses, they have been a covering machine and they shouldn't have many problems with this Indiana team that is playing to lose on purpose now.

Indiana Pacers are on 6 game losing streak and are likely to add one more loss after this game with the Pistons as the Pacers always get to early lead then game run away from them bit by bit. Pacers have lost 8 of last 10 games with only 2 wins vs Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers

Head to Head

Straight up record is 5-5 for both teams in this matchup, Detroit are 7-2-1 ATS last 10 games vs the Pacers. The O/U is 4-6 to the Under as Detroit Pistons averaged 106.5 and Indiana Pacers averaged 107.6 points a game. Pistons are playing the better basketball now though and should get another cover here.

Prediction

I really don't think that the Pacers should be laying points to any team in the NBA at this point as they lost 8 of their last 10 games and they are on 6 game losing streak and most of these games thet get an early lead then they start tankin, on the other hand Pistons are playing hard every game beating the 76ers and Thunder last 2 games and they have been a covering machine lately. i like the Pistons to cover here.

Pick: Detroit Pistons +2 (-110)
