Indiana had won and covered five meetings in a row with Detroit before losing 130-106 to the Pistons on Nov. 29. The Pacers will be out to avenge that loss tonight and they are on a 6-1 ATS run. Indiana also is 9-1 ATS its past 10 road contests and it has covered four of five against Eastern Conference opponents. The Pistons are 1-7-1 ATS versus the Central Division and 1-5 ATS overall their past six Thursday games. Indiana had its six-game win streak snapped by Cleveland on Tuesday, but the Pacers already had beaten the Cavaliers two nights before. The Pistons come off a big win at New York while shooting 50 percent and hitting 15 of 34 3-point tries. Both are considerably above their season averages and the Pacers shoot 49 percent on the season. Take the Pacers.

Premium Picks
Detroit at Indiana
Detroit already has won as many games as it took them to Feb. 8 to win last season, even though they have played six of their past eight on the road. The Pistons traveled to Indiana tonight to try to snap the Pacers' three-game win streak, although the wins came against teams with a combined record of 13-42. The Pacers are 0-6-1 ATS against teams with losing records and 0-5-1 ATS in their past six games. Indiana's previous three games before the streak were all outright losses as it faced tougher competition, including against Houston and Milwaukee. Detroit hopes to get Cade Cunningham back in the lineup, as he has been out with a hip injury. The Pacers have five players out themselves. Take the Pistons.
