New Orleans at Detroit

March 26, 2026

7:00 PM Eastern

The Detroit Pistons hold a four-game lead over the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference. They will host the New Orleans Pelicans, who saw their four-game winning streak snapped their last time out. Detroit should be fired up, as they are coming off an overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks at home. The Pistons are 5-0 straight-up in this spot this year (3-2 ATS), with four of the wins by eight points or more. Their average margin of victory in those five games was 18.2 points, and if Detroit comes even close to the 124.8 average points, they'll cover this one easily. Make the play on Detroit.

Detroit at New Orleans

January 21, 2026

8:00 PM Eastern

Yes, Detroit has the best record in the Eastern Conference at 31-10 and is hot with six wins in the last seven games. Not so fast, though, if you think the Pistons are going to cover this big a number. The spot isn't good for Detroit, nor is the history. The Pistons just defeated their closest Eastern Conference challenger, the Celtics, at home this past Sunday on national television, 104-103. Not only is this a letdown spot for Detroit facing the 10-35 Pelicans on the road, but the Pistons have a far more challenging game looming on Friday when they host the Rockets. New Orleans has a rest advantage, having last played on Saturday. Despite their awful record, the Pelicans have a winning point spread mark. The Pelicans are 8-2 ATS the past 10 times when taking eight or more points. The Pistons are 6-9 ATS as a road favorite. Take the Pelicans.
