Detroit Pistons vs. San Antonio Spurs Preview
The Detroit Pistons (29-26) and San Antonio Spurs (24-29) are all set to square off from Moody Center in Austin.
The San Antonio Spurs are on the second night of a back-to-back. While they were excited about their 120-109 win over the Phoenix Suns last night, there’s a dark cloud hanging over the franchise after they announced that Victor Wembanyama would miss the rest of the season due to a blood clot in his left shoulder.
The Pistons are sixth in the East and are 15-13 on the road this season. The Spurs have struggled this season shorthanded. They have lost their last six games with no rest.

“Betting on the Pistons is the angle you’d likely want to take. However, the line is a bit too inflated. I would have likely priced this closer to -2.5 or even -3, with the Pistons being on the road. With that being the case, you almost have to take the Spurs +4.5, given the line being a bit too inflated.”
Here are the best bets our model is projecting for today’s Pistons & Spurs game:
- Moneyline: NBC Sports Bet is recommending a play on the San Antonio Spurs on the Moneyline.
- Spread: NBC Sports Bet is leaning towards a play ATS on the San Antonio Spurs at +4.
- Total: NBC Sports Bet is staying away from a play on the Game Total of 232.
