Prediction:

Although the Pistons’ form has recently declined, their overall strength is still far superior to the Trail Blazers. Portland currently lacks the desire to win, and the management has made it clear that they are not aiming for the playoffs this season. Meanwhile, the Pistons, sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, have a stable position but also the potential to push for a higher ranking. I favor the Pistons to win this game.

Pick: Detroit Pistons -2.5 (bet365)
