The Detroit Pistons will be on the road to take on the Portland Trail Blazers. The tip-off is set for 10:00 ET from the Moda Center.
This game is the 2nd night of a back-to-back for the Blazers. The Pistons last played on Sunday.
The Trail Blazers have remained a 9.5 point favorite in this one. It really has not changed all that much. The total is currently 215.5, but I have seen some that are showing 216.
Detroit Pistons
Things have not gone well at all for this Pistons team so far. They will get used to losing a lot of ball games this year.
This team has now lost their last 6 games. I would be very surprised if that number does not go up to 7 after this game with the Blazers.
One positive in this disastrous year so far is rookie Cade Cunningham. He has had issues staying on the basketball court, but I have been impressed with what I have seen when he is out there.
The struggles of this Detroit team are not all that surprising. This is a squad that a lot of people thought would do a lot of losing in 2021. The fans do not want to hear it, but this year is going to be about development.
They last played on Sunday, where they lost to the Lakers 110-106. Although they did not win the game, it is encouraging to see them compete with a team that is a lot better than they are.
In the loss to Los Angeles, Jerami Grant was the leading scorer with 32 points and 6 rebounds. The aforementioned Cade Cunningham had 15 points and 11 boards. Frank Jackson also contributed 17 points.
Portland Trail Blazers
The Trail Blazers have not had a great year so far. Their main issue has been consistency. I suppose they could get better as the year goes on, but that does not look like the case at the moment.
At the moment, Portland has a record of 10-11, which puts them in 10th place of the Western Conference. Simply put, that record is not good enough to do damage in a loaded NBA.
If I am the Blazers, I would be very worried about Damian Lillard. Their best player is simply not having a good year and it is not just a skid. He has not played up to his ability the whole year.
The Blazers got crushed by the Utah Jazz on Monday by a score of 129-107. It is one thing to lose to one of the best teams in the league, but it is another to lose by 22 points.
In the loss on Monday, Damian Lillard had 11 points. That performance is a perfect example of this guy not playing well. If he does not get better as the year goes on, I have a hard time seeing this team get better.
NBA Betting Trends:

- The Pistons are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games.
- The Trail Blazers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.
- The Trail Blazers are 9-0 SU in their last 9 games at home.
Detroit Pistons vs. Portland Trail Blazers NBA Prediction:
This is a battle between two teams that have not been playing well lately and who need to get back on track.
Things have not been going easily for this Portland team this year, but you must take care of your business when you face a team like Detroit. No excuses.
Look, I would be shocked if the Pistons win this thing, but I do feel they can keep it competitive.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Pistons ATS
This Detroit team clearly is not a good team, but they have been better when it comes to ATS. They may not win a ton of games, but oftentimes they are in them.
For me, the 9.5 point spread is just too high to lay with the Blazers. At the moment, I have very little confidence backing Portland.
