Detroit Pistons vs. Indiana Pacers: Odds, predictions and daily fantasy

The Detroit Pistons will try to end their four-game home losing streak tonight against the Indiana Pacers in Little Caesar’s Arena.

The Pistons (3-10) are coming off a beating at the hands of the Sacramento Kings, while the Pacers (6-9) were losers in their last game against the Knicks.

The Pacers present a bunch of tough matchups for the Pistons, especially on the interior, where they feature two talented big men in Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner.

The Pistons are going to have to keep these two off the boards, as the Pacers are one of the NBA’s best rebounding teams and the Pistons are currently the worst.

Here are the odds, predictions and some daily fantasy tips for the Detroit Pistons vs. Indiana Pacers.

Detroit Pistons vs. Indiana Pacers: Odds, spread and over/under

According to WynnBET, the Detroit Pistons are six point underdogs at home to the Indiana Pacers.

The money lines are +200 for Detroit and -240 for Indiana, so this is a game the books expect the Pistons to lose.

The over/under is set at 211, and is a complete stay-away for me until the Pistons show they are capable of scoring consistently, which may not happen this season. Detroit is currently last in the NBA in points per game is one of only three teams averaging fewer than 100 points per contest.

The Pistons’ offense is headed for the history books for futility, so it’s hard to recommend the over, especially when their defense has actually played pretty well. This should be a grind-it-out affair and I wouldn’t be shocked if the Pistons failed to crack 100 points.

Detroit Pistons vs. Indiana Pacers: Predictions and daily fantasy

As I said before, the Pacers present tough matchups for the Pistons all over the floor, and I don’t particularly like any of them for Detroit.

If Isaiah Stewart gets in foul trouble in this one, Turner and Sabonis are going to feast on the boards, so as much as I hate to say it, Sabonis is probably a good fantasy play tonight.

Cade Cunningham will face some tough defenders in Justin Holiday and Malcolm Brogdon, so it will be tough for him to repeat his big outing vs. the Kings.

If you are looking for a cheap, long shot play, rookie Luka Garza may end up getting extended run in this one, as the Pistons are short on bigs. He racked up seven rebounds in just 17 minutes in the last game, so would be a cheap play that could pay off if he has to play a lot tonight.
