Why the Pistons can cover

The Pistons covered the spread as 10-point favorites, securing their first playoff spot since the 2018-19 campaign. Center Jalen Duren posted a double-double with 21 points and 18 rebounds, shooting 9 of 11 from the floor.
Shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 23 points, knocking down 5 of 9 shots from 3-point range. Detroit won a franchise-worst 14 games last season and went through a 28-game losing streak, but it has been a complete turnaround this year. The Pistons have won nine of their last 12 home games, and they are hoping to have Cade Cunningham (calf) back on the court following a six-game absence. See which team to back at SportsLine.
