Why the Pistons can cover
The Pistons managed a 136-130 home victory on Sunday over the New Orleans Pelicans in what was a true team effort. Ron Holland, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, came off the bench to lead Detroit with 26 points to go along with six assists and five boards. Fellow reserve Marcus Sasser had a 20-point outing, while Jalen Duren notched a double-double with 22 points on 8 of 11 shooting, plus 12 rebounds.
Detroit pulled off that victory without Cade Cunningham (calf) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle), and both are listed as questionable to return on Tuesday. However, few teams have been beset by injuries as much as the Spurs who have lost Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) and De’Aaron Fox (finger) for the season. Additionally, Rookie of the Year favorite, Stephon Castle (knee), is questionable to suit up, and Detroit has the big season-long spread advantage. The Pistons have the third-best spread record in the Eastern Conference, while the Spurs have the fourth-worst ATS record in the West. See which team to back at SportsLine.
Why the Spurs can cover
Meanwhile, the Spurs waltzed into their Sunday matchup with two straight wins, but they left with three against the Toronto Raptors as San Antonio made off with a 123-89 victory. The Spurs can attribute much of their success to Devin Vassell, who shot 78.6% from the field to rack up 25 points and six rebounds, and Julian Champagnie, who went 6-for-9 on his way to 20 points along with five boards and three steals. The Spurs’ bench combined for 63 points, more than doubling the 26 points that Toronto got from its second unit.
Not only was it the third straight outright victory for the team, but it was also its third straight ATS victory. San Antonio is 4-1 ATS over its last five versus Eastern Conference opponents, and the Spurs get to face a Pistons team which has struggled under the status of being a home favorite. Detroit is 6-13 versus the spread, when favored at home, which is the second-worst record in the league (min. five games). Finally, one of the Spurs’ strengths is the 3-point shot, as they rank eighth in made 3-pointers, while a weakness for Detroit is defending the perimeter as it is in the bottom 10 in 3-point defense.
