The LA Clippers (9-21) host the Detroit Pistons (24-7) at the Intuit Dome on Sunday.
Despite sitting 13th in the West, the Clippers come into this with confidence after beating the Lakers & Houston in the past week. They followed this with a victory over Portland, restricting them to a 31% field goal percentage and just 103 points.
In contrast Detroit were lack lustre in their narrow defeat to Utah Jazz on Friday losing by 129-131. This ended a three game winning run that included back to back road victories. Detroit has been less dominant on the road this season, they come into this 12-5, +4.9 pts vs opposition. At home they are 12-2, +8.7 pts vs opposition.
Betting Markets:
- Detroit Pistons ML (-167)/LA Clippers ML (+130)
- Detroit Pistons -3.5pts (-110)/LA Clippers +3.5pts (-110)
- Over 224.5pts (-110)/Under 224.5pts (-110)
Our Prediction:
I believe both teams will rebound the ball well and this will minimise second chance opportunities.
With the lines very close for this match, I’m expecting a low scoring thriller.
