Los Angeles at Detroit

The Detroit Pistons used to be a playoff fixture, but times have changed. This team has finished in great draft position over the past few years and, although they are just 7-19 on the season, they are starting to be competitive at home where they are 5-7. They have beaten Boston, lost to Chicago by just four and Oklahoma City by two. They certainly can give the Clippers a run for their money here. The Clippers have won nine straight, but are on their fourth straight road game and have had close calls already vs. Chicago and Charlotte, both games within within points. They have struggled vs. the NBA Central at just 3-10 ATS in their last 13. The Pistons have risen to the task at home vs. a team with a winning road record at 9-3 ATS in their last 12. Play on Detroit.
