The FanDuel Sportsbook opened the line at 6.5, which still holds, with a total of 230.5. The real question isn’t just about who’ll cover the spread, but specifically about the Detroit Pistons: Can they secure a win tonight? And if not, when will their next victory come as they creep closer to the NBA’s all-time worst losing streak?

The Pistons have been struggling to find their rhythm, not having won a game since October 28, a span of 26 games. Their schedule doesn’t offer much reprieve, with upcoming challenging games against teams like Boston, Toronto, Houston, Utah, Denver, and Golden State. This daunting lineup raises concerns about when their next win might be, with potential losses looming for weeks.

Monty Williams, respected for his coaching prowess and liked for his approach, has been trying to steer the team in the right direction. However, the team’s performance hasn’t matched expectations.

Despite these challenges, there’s a sense that tonight’s game against the Nets could be closer than many anticipate. The Pistons, back on their home court, might just have the edge they need. Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey showed promise in their last game, and though Saddiq Bey had an off night, there’s hope for a turnaround.

Therefore, the betting advice for tonight is to take the Detroit Pistons +6.5 at home. There’s a feeling that they could be on the cusp of something, possibly coming close to a win before faltering at the last moment. Remember, they just faced Brooklyn in their previous game, so familiarity could play to their advantage. The Pistons might surprise us all with their young talent and make it a tight game.
