The Detroit Pistons have dropped three straight on their current road trip, and things won’t get any easier when they collide with a talented Minnesota Timberwolves squad in Minny tonight.
Sportsbook opened the Pistons as 6-point home favorites with a total of 209.5.
- The UNDER is 4-1 in the Pistons' last five road games.
- The Pistons are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings with the Timberwolves.
- The favorite is 9-1-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings between the Pistons and Timberwolves.
The Pistons were coming off a sweep of a five-game homestand before the road trip and blew a 22-point lead while suffering a 107-100 loss to Indiana on Friday. One bright spot for the Pistons is the development of rookie shooting guard Luke Kennard, as the Duke product scored 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting in the finale of the homestand.
Minnesota trailed the NBA-worst Dallas Mavericks at the half on Friday before allowing only 32 points after the break to cruise to a 111-87 victory. The T-wolves held Dallas and San Antonio to an average of 86.5 points in the last two games and held opponents to under 100 in each of their last six wins.
Quietly, the Wolves have been a fantastic UNDER wager lately. Minnesota has cashed under bets in each of its last eight contests.
