Chicago at Detroit

Premium Pick

The Detroit Pistons made a big push for a playoff run when they acquired Blake Griffin. He was supposed to be the missing piece to carry Detroit over the top. Unfortunately, he has proven to not be the answer. At 32-40, and six games behind the eighth seed in the NBA Eastern Conference, the Pistons would have to win out, and would still likely fall short. Chicago is in full rebuild mode and is almost as close to the Pistons (eight back), as the Pistons are to the playoffs. Simply put, this line is way overdone. Since the first of the year, Detroit owns just six wins of 13 points or more, so I have to question the motivation here as well. Play on Chicago.
