San Antonio Spurs vs Detroit Pistons prediction
Laying chalk with the San Antonio Spurs on the road just isn’t something I’m excited to do, but I’m also not looking in the direction of the Pistons. The Detroit Pistons played last night, had a 20-point lead at one point and then lost by 20 points. The Pistons are a joke at this stage and find creative ways to lose every night. Playing on the end of a back to back doesn’t help matters. If the Spurs are serious about winning, it’s not going to get much easier than this. The line is more than reasonable. Give me the Spurs and the reasonable line. Backing the Pistons isn’t an option at this stage.
