Dallas Mavericks vs Detroit Pistons. The NBA pick for this game is the Dallas Mavericks. The Pistons dropped 10 of their last 12 contests, including four consecutive at home. They don’t have a great offensive game, and in their previous three games, they performed poorly, averaging fewer than 105 points per contest. During the span, they had trouble at the free-throw line as well, making fewer than 70% of their attempts. Expect the Pistons to struggle offensively in this match against the Mavericks, who average more than eight steals per game and are limiting opponents to under 110 points per game. Their rebounding also declined along the stretch, and they were very reckless with the ball. They did an excellent job defending the ball and regaining the rebounded ball. The Pistons’ defense, which ranks among the worst in the league and is even worse at home, where they surrender more than 115 points per contest, will struggle to contain the Mavericks. Dallas is the pick to cover the spread. The Dallas Mavericks will win to a predicted score of 115-106.
