The Pacers have one of the worst defenses in the NBA giving up an average of 120.5 points a game. Don't be surprised if the Pistons take full advantage of this even though they have locked up the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. This is going to be Detroit's last game until next weekend when it opens postseason play. So the Pistons are likely to give their regulars, including Cade Cunningham, a fair share of minutes. Plus, Detroit can complete a 60-win regular season for the first time in 20 years. Cunningham is putting up 24.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 9.9 assists a game this season. Spearheaded by Cunningham, the Pistons are ninth in scoring and have the fifth best field goal percentage. They are averaging 123.3 points in going 3-0 versus the Pacers this season. The Pacers will fire away with nothing to lose. They have clinched a bottom-three finish in the NBA, giving them the best possible odds of winning one of the top four picks in the NBA draft lottery. So their tanking mission has been accomplished. All in all, expect a loose game with not much defense. Take the OVER.
