Free Portland Trail Blazers vs. Detroit Pistons NBA Prediction:
Keep an eye on the status of both Jusuf Nurkic and Anfernee Simons ahead of this contest. Basically, the status for the two players is “OUT” as of this writing, immediately after their Sunday matchup with the Orlando Magic, but both have reportedly made progress in their recoveries and are traveling with the team for a reason.
You’ll want to know if either player is upgraded ahead of Monday’s game in Detroit.
However, to be entirely honest, Portland should be mostly fine either way.
Detroit = Ultimate Slump-Buster
Few teams present an opportunity for opponents to break out of a slump like the 2022-23 Pistons. Yes, they have some fun young players who are fun to watch and could grow into competitive stars someday. Right now, however, they’re more invested in short-term losses in lottery positioning over long-term growth.
At this point, Detroit owns the league’s longest SU losing streak at seven in a row. That’s a perfect storm for a team like Portland with a player like Damian Lillard to gain some much-needed momentum.
With all that in mind, give this one to the road Trail Blazers, and give it to them by a comfortable margin.
