Detroit vs Dallas Prediction: Choosing the Pistons and Total Under

Detroit lost three games, which made their tournament position even worse. Now, with a home game against Dallas coming up, will the Pistons be able to put an end to their losing streak? Check out this prediction for the game. Let's take a look at the stats, the odds, and the bookies' prices, and pick a few bets.

Detroit

The Pistons lost a lot in a row on their away trip, which they finished just before their match against Dallas. J.J. Bickerstaff's team started this run with two wins in a row - over Houston (107:96) and Atlanta (114:104). But then Detroit lost to Orlando (113:121), Cleveland (91:110), and Indiana (119:133).

This stretch wasn't the most successful, and Detroit's tournament position has slipped a bit. With 23 wins and 24 losses, the Pistons are currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings, but they're only 0.5 wins away from the top 6 and the playoff zone.

Dallas

The Mavericks have been playing without Luka Doncic for a while now, but they seem to have got used to the absence of their leader. At least Jason Kidd's team has three wins in four games before they head to Detroit. First, Dallas beat Western Conference leader Oklahoma (121:115), then lost at home to Boston (107:122), but then defeated Washington (130:108) and New Orleans (137:136).

Like Detroit in the East, Dallas is currently in eighth position in the West. The Mavs have won 26 games and lost 22, and are just 1.5 wins behind the top 6.

Expert Betting Tips

Dallas has some issues with the lineup. As well as Luka Doncic, the Mavericks can't rely on two important big men, Maxi Kleber and Dereck Lively. Jason Kidd's team has won three of their last four games, but it doesn't look like the Mavs have much of a chance against Detroit, who are on a losing streak. The Pistons have been playing really well this season, and they'll definitely be able to take advantage of the Mavericks' problems at home and break their losing streak. Also, we'd say there'll be low scores.
