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.
