The Pistons (-900) are not worth 9 times your money here, but they should come out on top.<\/p>\n BET KINGS +12.5 (-105).<\/p>\n The Pistons continue to win at a high rate, but they haven’t won decisively. They are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 at home. Detroit also has scored 112 points or fewer in 6 of its last 7 games, suggesting it could struggle to separate by this size of a margin.<\/p>\n The Kings have been an underdog of 9.5 points or greater in 4 of their last 8 games, and they are 4-0 ATS in those. They have scored at least 109 points in 8 straight games.<\/p>\n Back KINGS +12.5 (-105).<\/p>\n BET OVER 225.5 (-115).<\/p>\n The Kings do not play much defense. They have gone Over in 3 straight games, ranking 27th in the NBA in defensive rating in that span, and have allowed at least 115 points in 5 in a row.<\/p>\n The Pistons rank as the second-best offensive rebounding team in the league, while the Kings sit 29th in defensive rebounding. Despite not trending toward the Over, expect ample scoring opportunities in this one.<\/p>\n Take OVER 225.5 (-115).<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n Gambling involves risk.
