Los Angeles at Detroit

Detroit has had a habit of starting strong and then fading in the second half and it happened again as the Pistons lost to Atlanta on Friday night. Now they meet a team that had the same problem that night as Los Angeles shot 51 percent and still lost 119-114 at Philadelphia after blowing a 20-point lead. The Clippers have lost three of their past four road games and they'll be playing without Kawhi Leonard again as he is listed as out for tonight's game while he continues to nurse his ailing knee. The Clippers are 5-22 ATS their past 27 games playing with two days rest and they are just 1-3-1 ATS their past five meetings with Detroit. The Pistons surprisingly have a 9-3-2 ATS record against teams with winning records and they are 7-2-1 ATS their past 10 after a loss. Take the points with the Pistons.
