Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Pistons to cover:
"While neither team is playing good basketball with two straight blowout losses, Detroit is the far superior team that is still playing for postseason positioning. This is a good spot for Detroit to bounce back with a road win before four straight home games. It's Pistons or pass."
