Detroit at San Antonio

The Spurs have lost seven of their last eight games, and while it's not like Pop to panic, this team really needs a win. I think they bring their "A" game here at home and get that win. The losing streak came as part of their annual "Rodeo Road Trip" in which they are forced to play a long stretch of road games during the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo. At home this season, the Spurs are 22-7, outscoring opponents by seven points per game. Yes, the Pistons can score, but their defense is pretty atrocious, allowing 109.1 per game on the road. Detroit has really floundered when playing winning teams late in the season the past couple of years, going 7-21 straight-up in those games. When favored in this range (moneyline of -165 to -500), San Antonio is 700-248 under Gregg Popovich. Take the Spurs on the moneyline.
