Detroit broke a two-game losing streak with a 123-103 over Portland on Sunday in one the Pistons' best performances of the season. Detroit shot 52.4 percent from the floor, including 12-of-22 from long distance. Reggie Jackson led six players in double figures with 30 points and Andre Drummond added 14 points with 18 rebounds. Dallas has lost three straight after getting blown out at home 109-90 to the Clippers as the Mavericks undoubtedly were a tired team after losing in overtime at Denver the previous day. Dirk Nowitzki scored 22 points but his team shot just 37.0 percent overall. This is the first meeting of the season for these teams. Detroit is on a current 5-2 ATS run while the Mavericks are 1-6 ATS their last seven against winning teams. Take the Pistons.
