They are coming off a 40-point road victory and sport a 21-6 record at home this season.<\/p>\n Eight of the Pistons’ 15 losses this season have come on the road, while the team is coming off a road loss on Tuesday. Though I predict the Spurs to cover by the hook, paying a little more on the ML is worth it the extra breathing room.<\/p>\n PASS.<\/strong><\/p>\n With the caliber of both these teams, the ML has the best value, as either team could take control down the stretch.<\/p>\n BET OVER 228.5 (-110).<\/strong><\/p>\n The Pistons have scored at least 122 in 2 of their last 4 games and in 4 of their last 7. They have allowed 113 or more in 4 of their last 5 and at least 110 in 6 of their last 7.<\/p>\n The Spurs have scored 126 or more in 2 of their last 3 and at least 121 in 7 of their last 10. They have scored at least 131 4 times in their last 10 overall.<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips<\/strong>, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/strong><\/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>\nPistons at Spurs odds<\/h2>\n
