The Detroit Pistons have vastly improved from a season ago when they won just 14 games. They are currently 8th in the East, which would have them in the play-in round. Dallas comes in at 26-22, which is good for 8th place in the West. Dallas continues to be without Luka Doncic while dealing with a calf injury. The Mav's play has slipped considerably of late as they are just 4-11 in their last 15 games, and for the season, they are just 9-14 ATS on the road. The impact of the Doncic injury has been tremendous, as he is a top three player in the league, and they have been less than ordinary without him. I like Detroit in this one.
