Mavericks vs. Pistons picks and predictionsPrediction<\/p>\n

Pistons 115, Mavericks 105<\/p>\n

PASS.<\/p>\n

The Pistons (-300), as the far healthier team, should come out on top but are too expensive to consider on the moneyline.<\/p>\n

BET PISTONS -7.5 (-115).<\/p>\n

The Pistons have been on fire offensively and put up 135 points on 49% shooting in their last contest. Detroit’s defense has stayed solid as well, ranking as the tenth-best unit in the NBA. The Pistons are going against a Mavericks side down 3 starters and potentially 5 contributors.<\/p>\n

Dallas already doesn’t have an efficient second unit with its bench players shooting 42.6% from the field, ranking 21st in the league. That could be a major factor with those players getting more minutes Saturday. Without many weapons and against a strong defense, expect Dallas to struggle.<\/p>\n

Back PISTONS -7.5 (-115).<\/p>\n

BET UNDER 222.5 (-105).<\/p>\n

Both teams rank in the top 10 in defensive rating with the Mavericks seventh and the Pistons tenth. Dallas has had some major scoring woes this season as well, tallying 107 or fewer points in 4 of its 5 contests.<\/p>\n

While Detroit has been more consistent, it has scored more than 115 points in just 2 of its 5 performances. Considering those trends, back UNDER 222.5 (-105).<\/p>\n
