Not much to say about the Detroit Pistons at this point. The team is an ugly 7-43 on the season, and the rebuild has a long way to go. The Pistons are 3-20 SU on the road, and I'm not sure this is enough points as Portland isn't winning a lot either, but has a chance for a strong feel-good game at home. Detroit is just 1-9 SU on the road when facing a team that has a losing record. The scoring margin in those 10 games was their opponent winning by an average of 8ppg. Detroit is also coming in amidst a road trip and will have had to travel, and are unrested for this one. I like Portland in this one.
