The Detroit Pistons will look for their third win in four games tonight vs. the Sacramento Kings.

The Pistons are coming off a big win against the Toronto Raptors on the road, and there were plenty of promising signs from the win.

Killian Hayes had the best game of his career, Cade Cunningham came up huge in the clutch, Isaiah Stewart was the Pistons’ best all-around player and Saddiq Bey made some winning plays in the 3rd quarter to keep the Pistons in it.

Hopefully the young Pistons can keep it going tonight against the Kings, who are 5-8 overall but have lost four in a row including most recently to the OKC Thunder.

This will be the Pistons 4th game in a row against some of the best players from the 2021 NBA Draft, so once again, all eyes will be on Cade Cunningham, this time vs. Davion Mitchell.

Here’s a look at the odds, some predictions and how to watch the game.

Detroit Pistons vs. Sacramento Kings: Odds, spread, over/under

According to WynnBET, the Detroit Pistons are four point underdogs to the Sacramento Kings, which is somewhat surprising given that they are at home and coming off an impressive win.

The money lines are +170 for the Pistons, and -190 for the Kings, so if you think the Pistons can win this game (they absolutely can), then forget the points and just bet the money line.

The over/under for the game is set at 212.5. This is a tough bet for the Detroit Pistons right now, as you don’t know what type of shooting performance you are going to get from night to night. The Pistons dropped 127 on the Raptors, but it was only the third time this season that they have cracked 110 points.

The Kings have a lousy defense and productive offense, so the over/under will really come down to Detroit’s ability to score. Bettors beware.

Detroit Pistons vs. Sacramento Kings: Predictions

This game will come down to whether the offensively challenged Pistons can score enough points, as their defense should be able to at least slow down the Kings’ high-powered offense.

The Kings feature four talented guards in De’Aaron Fox, Tyrese Haliburton, Davion Mitchell and Buddy Hield.

The Pistons have been terrible at stopping the 3-point shot this season, so getting a hand in the face of Hield will be crucial.

Killian Hayes and Cade Cunningham were very good defensively against the Raptors and will look to use their size to force the Kings’ guards into tough shots.

The Kings have no one to really check Jerami Grant, so he’d be a strong play if you are into daily fantasy. If the Pistons can win the battle of the guards, they will take this game.
