Expert picks & predictions for Saturday’s Nets vs. Pistons game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Nets +9.5 against the Pistons:
“The hype around the Pistons will start to die off and even more quickly if they don’t win by double-digits against the Nets. Detroit’s eight-game winning streak was snapped and while the mentality is to start a new one, coming off games against the Celtics and Nuggets and then hosting the Nets the following game may not be as exciting for a young team. Brooklyn could backdoor cover, especially with both teams on the second night of a back-to-back, so this is Nets or pass at +9.5. The Under is usually a sharp look with both teams on no rest, so I’d take a look at that too.”
