Denver at Detroit

February 3, 2026
img7:00 PM Eastern

The Pistons nipped the Nuggets, 109-107, in Denver last Tuesday. It has only been a week since that game, but the landscape has changed. Nikola Jokic is back from a knee injury that sidelined him for about a month, including that loss to Detroit. Few would argue that Jokic is not the best all-around player in the NBA. Jokic is averaging 29.3 points a game, 12 rebounds a game and 10.7 assists per game. The Nuggets have won and covered their last six away games. Until losing to the world champion Thunder two days ago at home, the Nuggets were giving up an average of only 103.6 points a game during their last five games. Detroit is playing for the fourth time in six days. The Pistons lack the Nuggets' urgency, having the best record in the Eastern Conference and being 5.5 games ahead of the Knicks and Celtics, their closest competitors. Take the Nuggets.

Detroit at Denver

December 28, 2024
img9:00 PM Eastern

What a difference a year makes as Detroit is competing at a high level, and the Pistons miraculously have won and covered the first three games of this road trip against the Suns, Lakers, and Sacramento. After nearly a decade of lousy shooting, the Pistons finally acquired some scorers who can put the ball in the basket, and they came off a 114-113 victory over the Kings on Thursday. Jaden Ivey converted a go-ahead four-point play with three seconds left, and Detroit overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit. The Pistons have covered four of their past six against Denver and six straight overall as underdogs, with 5.0-10.5 points. The Nuggets have been just 1-4 ATS in their past five games, and they have lost their past two outrights, including 149-135, to Cleveland last night, as they now play a back-to-back. Take the Pistons.
