Houston Rockets vs Detroit Pistons Betting Analysis
Each team is on a seven-game losing streak, though the Pistons have been a bit more competitive lately, chasing the Bucks on Monday and earning a rare spread cover vs them.
They then had the Thunder and its playoff hopes on the ropes two nights ago before Santa Clara rookie Jalen Williams saved OKC at the death of the match.
Pistons Ride Out Rest of Season
Detroit is thus apparently still trying for Dwane Casey as he gives auditions for future playing time when his currently injury-decimated roster is whole again, and who knows, they may have Victor Wembanyama come next season too.
Taking the most advantage has been rookie Purdue wing Jaden Ivey, who is scoring better than 25 ppg across the past three while recording better than 8 apg during that span and giving player prop bettors some interesting possibilities.
No Time to Think For Thunder
Meanwhile Houston doesn’t appear to be quite as focused, taking some heavy beatings in its current 7-game skid that includes allowing 151 to the Grizzlies and 137 to the Knicks as defensive intensity has been totally absent.
They’ve allowed almost 126 ppg during the losing streak as Stephen Silas is having problems getting 30 minutes of concentration from his troops the past two weeks, let alone all 48 of the game.
Houston Rockets vs Detroit Pistons Expert Prediction
With tanking not an issue, simply prefer Detroit which looks like it’s trying a bit harder the past week and avenge a 117-114 home loss in earlier meeting on January 28.
Pistons at least playing a bit of defense lately, helping contribute to current 7-1 “under” mark into Toyota Center.
Prediction: Detroit Pistons +6.5
