A game between the Pacers who are fighting for a place in the top four of the Eastern Region and the Pistons who seem to be achieving the goal of entering the playoffs.
Indiana Pacers:
Another year is considered a success for all of the Pacers, which could be even better if they were not unlucky with the injury of their Oladipo leader. A classic example of a group without a superstar that, through the whole, manages to overcome its apparent ceiling. The home advantage was very close, but the negative number of 7-1 numbers in a difficult schedule went back. Recently they have improved their aggressive markers, having the eighth best aggressive rating in 4 last (note that they are in the last positions overall, defining a defensive set).
Detroit Pistons:
High expectations for the guests at the beginning of the year with the team to fulfill them in part. The very good coach at the wheel and the leaders Griffin and Drammon initially seemed enough to secure a good position in the eighth of the East. The team stayed behind with injuries, with the racing recovery coming from February and onwards. Negative record 4-3 counts Detroit, which although based on its defense, has shown last weaknesses in off-home games in this field, numbering the seventh worst defensive performance in 4 last off. Kennard and Galloway are doubtful.
Assessment:
Defending both sets that are lined up tonight that has caused a drop on the lines. However, as we have seen, the recent groupings have made it clever to bet on over 103.5 points by the Pacers at odds of 1.80 on Stoiximan.
