Detroit at Denver

What a difference a year makes as Detroit is competing at a high level, and the Pistons miraculously have won and covered the first three games of this road trip against the Suns, Lakers, and Sacramento. After nearly a decade of lousy shooting, the Pistons finally acquired some scorers who can put the ball in the basket, and they came off a 114-113 victory over the Kings on Thursday. Jaden Ivey converted a go-ahead four-point play with three seconds left, and Detroit overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit. The Pistons have covered four of their past six against Denver and six straight overall as underdogs, with 5.0-10.5 points. The Nuggets have been just 1-4 ATS in their past five games, and they have lost their past two outrights, including 149-135, to Cleveland last night, as they now play a back-to-back. Take the Pistons.
