Detroit at Houston

October 24, 2025
img8:00 PM Eastern

The Houston Rockets will host the Detroit Pistons as the NBA gets into full swing. Both these teams lost their openers in close games and will be hungry for a win. There have been a lot of close games, as 9 of the 16 games played have been decided by 6 points or fewer. Houston took a harsh blow before the regular season got started, as Fred VanVleet will be out for the season with a torn ACL. The Pistons did a good job as a road dog last season, covering 56% of their games. This game looks a lot closer than the line, and I'll make the play on Detroit.

1 unit on Detroit +6.5 (-108) (risk 1 to return 1.93)
