Detroit at Denver

Not so long ago, the Detroit Pistons were once a team that was winning Championships, and in the playoffs every single season. The coaching and talent that led those charges are long gone, and the Pistons just aren't competitive anymore. The Pistons’ last hurrah was winning the Central in 2007-08, but since have been below .500 each season. Their best effort in the last three years has been a .379 winning percentage. Their 0-3 start this year is showing signs of continued trouble. Denver has played three games vs. teams that were in the playoffs last season, and have dropped all three. This will be an angry, hungry team at home for the first time where they always seem to play much better. The Nuggets are 29-10 ATS in their last 39 games vs. Eastern Conference opponents, including 11-2 ATS vs. the Central. Time for the Nuggets’ "A" game, so play on Denver.
