This Friday will see an inter-conference showdown as the Detroit Pistons head down to the Lone Star State to take on the Houston Rockets. The Rockets took a close one in their last meeting, winning 99-96 on November 11, 2016.
The Pistons have been flat-out bad over the last two weeks, losing two straight and seven of their last eight.
They fell at home 105-102 to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Detroit is currently in 11th place in the Eastern Conference and only one loss from being out of the playoff hunt.

The Rockets have rebounded from a three-game losing streak to win their last two. They defeated the Denver Nuggets 110-104 on Wednesday and locked in the 3rd place spot in the West.
Detroit Pistons
If you only looked at the results over the last couple of weeks, it would appear like the Pistons are tanking.
However, it is clear that is not the case as they continue to put in effort and lose close games.
They lost in overtime 108-105 at Milwaukee on Friday and allowed the Raptors to come back late on Wednesday. Their fatal number is now down to one, and they would need a perfect finish to make the postseason.

The Pistons average 101.1 points per game which ranks 26th in the NBA. They rank 4th in rebounding with 45.6 and 25th in assists with 21.1 per contest. Their defense has been good this year– allowing only 102.4 points per game which ranks 6th in scoring D.
Houston Rockets
The Rockets locked in the 3rd place spot in the Western Conference with a 110-104 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.
Considering the fact that their position is now solidified, they could just coast through these last few games.
However, that is not Houston’s style, and they are expected to play their starters in this game. That includes MVP candidate James Harden who returned from a wrist injury on Wednesday.

Free Detroit Pistons vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
These teams are obviously in very different situations, but both should be expected to play well in this one. The Pistons need the win more, and their strong defense should be in full-force.
Of course, Houston can score on anyone, but they should not have to light up the scoreboard to beat Detroit.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: UNDER 223.5
Rockets get the win in a relatively low-scoring game (by their standards).
