Though the two teams only face off a couple of times a season, the history of the Detroit Pistons vs the Portland Trail Blazers is one that is filled with tons of points and little defense. This has led to the OVER being an amazing bet with the Pistons and Blazers topping the closing total in 11 of their last 12 meetings. These two squads will meet for the first time this season on Monday in the Motor City.
- The Trail Blazers are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last 4 games against the Pistons.
- The Pistons are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games at home.
- The Trail Blazers are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games with no days off between games.
The once stagnant offense of the Pistons has started clicking during their current three-game winning streak. The Pistons are averaging 113.3 points while shooting 50.4 percent from the field in their past three contests. Of course, the addition of Blake Griffin has immediately added an extra jolt of offense but Andre Drummond has also seemed to take his all-star snub to heart, as the big man is averaging 19.3 points and 19 rebounds during the winning streak.
The Blazers end a short, three-game road swing in this one and hope to head back home with at least one victory during the trip. Though the Blazers are coming off back-to-back losses – including a heartbreaker against the Celtics yesterday – Damian Lillard and company have won their last six games against teams with losing records (the Pistons are 25-26).
