Command Analysis

Indiana Pacers

USA

Indiana failed to get advantage out of Milwaukee's problems. Bucks' key players were unavailable for the game, but Pacers still failed to record a victory. Only Domantas Sabonis and Caris LeVert tried to do something for the Pacers. Each one of them scored 16 points. Indiana eventually suffered a 99:114 defeat.

After recent defeats Ricky Carlisle's men are unable to improve their position in the Eastern Conference. Team's head coach is heavily criticized by the fans.

Detroit Pistons

USA

Seems like Detroit is destined to be the underdog of the Eastern Conference. At the start of the regular season Pistons at least tried to fight. But now team lost any hope to get higher in the standings. Pistons lost 12 matches in a row. Overall, they suffered 22 defeats in 26 matches of the current season.

In the recent match against Washington team was very close to the victory. The regular time ended with a tie, but Pistons failed to avoid defeat in the overtime (116:119).

Tip and bets

1.82Handicap (+11) points for Detroit

Detroit is in a long-term crisis, but Indiana's results are also not so impressive. Pacers were not looking great in the match against Milwaukee, so we don't think that Rick Carlisle's men will be able to get a confident victory. In our opinion, Pistons will put up a fight to the favourite.

Our prediction - Handicap (+11) points for Detroit

1.67Total under 213,5 points

Detroit is surely not a high-scoring team. Pistons are looking even weaker on away matches. For example, in 4 out of 6 most recent away matches they failed to score more than 96 points. That's why we don't think that we will see a high-scoring game.

Our second bet is on total under 213,5 points
