New Orleans at Detroit

It seems like not so long ago, the Pistons were battling to cut down nets, now they are fighting for every win. They have had two huge losing streaks on the season that have really killed them. One losing stretch reached seven games and the latest, just broken in their last time out, got to 13. What is amazing is that the Pistons are a 12-5 team around the two huge losing skids, and off a win are 7-4 on the season. That leaves us with a New Orleans team dealing with their own issues that crop up frequently on the road, where they are just 5-14 on the season. So ot's hard to trust them in this spot as a favorite, even more so with their 3-10 ATS mark in their last 13 vs. a team with a losing record. This is a better looking spot for the Pistons than the Hornets, so I'm going with Detroit.
