Detroit has won and covered the last four meetings, and Portland is playing its third road game in four days and a back-to-back after losing a tough one at Boston on Sunday. The Trail Blazers blew a 16-point halftime lead and lost at the buzzer on a 20-foot jumper by Al Horford. The Pistons have new life after trading for Blake Griffin and have won three in a row, including 111-107 over Milwaukee on Saturday. Ish Smith scored a team-leading 25 points and Griffin finished with 16 points, but the real star was Andre Drummond who scored 23 points and grabbed 20 rebounds. Detroit is 14-6-1 ATS its last 21 games against Western Conference teams, and the home team has covered the number eight of the last 11 meetings. Take the Pistons.
