The Pistons have drawn the short straw traveling to Boston on short rest after facing off against Milwaukee at home last night. J.B. Bickerstaff’s side has played to an ugly 1-4 record in this spot, made even more concerning when you factor in the Celtics are looking to build on Tuesday’s blowout over Miami that saw Payton Pritchard erupt for 25 points off the bench. Against a Pistons team that has allowed the ninth-highest three-point shooting percentage to opponents, Boston should have its share of opportunities to cash in from three.
Tip: Back the Celtics to Cover the Line (-8.5 Points) @ $1.90
Player Pick: Payton Pritchard Over Points Total
This is an absolute horror spot for a Pacers team battling some key injuries. Already eliminated from NBA Cup contention, Indiana heads to Brooklyn on short rest after facing off against the Raptors in Toronto last night. Having lost two in a row heading in, the Pacers are getting dominated on the glass, ranking 28th in rebounds over their last 10 games. Their three-point shooting hasn’t fared much better, so this looks like a good spot to play on the Nets at home as they look ahead to a three-day break.
Tip: Back the Nets to Cover the Line
