- Moneyline: Not recommended — Detroit Pistons ML is -180, juice is too steep for value.
- O/U: Over 205.0 (-109, LowVig.ag) — Implied total is 206.4, which roughly matches the actual line of 205.0 — lean Over as both teams are trending up offensively.
I'm taking Detroit Pistons -5 (Spread), Over 205.0 (O/U).
