Detroit is #5 in the NBA in rebounds and playing good basketball on an 8-3 ATS run. The Pistons scored 94.4 points per game in opening 5-23, but they've averaged 105.8 in winning nine of 11 since releasing Josh Smith. The Pistons are 6-0 ATS in their last six road games and face an Indiana team that struggles on offense at #26 in points scored. George Hill remains out for Indiana with a strained groin. Indiana comes off a 110-101 loss to Western Conference-worst Minnesota on Tuesday. The Pacers were outscored 41-26 in the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves snapped a 15-game losing streak behind Mo Williams' 52 points. Indiana was coming off a 93-92 loss at lowly Philadelphia three nights earlier. Indiana is on a 0-4 ATS run, and when these teams meet the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take Detroit.
