Detroit Pistons vs Indiana Pacers Free Pick
The Pistons have struggled offensively in recent games. Their ball movement isn’t as good on the road and they don’t rebound the ball as well as the Pacers do, so don’t expect many easy scoring opportunities against them. Although not great defensively, Indiana should be able to keep the Pistons’ cold shooting offense under wraps. Meanwhile, the Pacers are playing well offensively; their aggressiveness on offense gives them more scoring chances. With current NBA betting odds backing Indiana to come out on top in this matchup, consider taking Indiana as one of these teams.
Free Pick: Indiana Pacers -7.5 (-116)
