Both of these teams are banged-up and riddled with injuries, but the talent pool is much deeper in Portland, who has been able to win while Detroit has struggled. The Blazers are 12-7 in their last 19 games, with three of the losses coming to Boston, Orlando and Cleveland. The Pistons have just seven wins all season vs. winning teams, so the value is certainly on the side of the Blazers here who have beaten 12 teams with a losing record on the season. The Pistons are just 1-10 ATS after a double digit loss at home, and as a 2-point choice here, that doesn't bode well for the straight-up win either. I'll go with Portland on the moneyline.
