Cleveland may have dominated this matchup in years past, but the Pistons are catching up fast. Detroit’s resilience — rallying in Chicago and notching back-to-back wins over Houston and Boston — shows a team on the rise. Cleveland’s narrow victories mask inconsistency, and this short number suggests the market sees it too. With confidence, home energy, and momentum on their side, Detroit is the live dog here. Pistons outright.

Phoenix hasn’t looked right, dropping two straight by 20+ points, while Utah has shown legitimate improvement — blowing out the Clippers and narrowly losing at Sacramento. The only reason the Suns are favored is history; they’ve beaten the Jazz ten straight times. But trends don’t win games — current form does. Utah is playing better basketball and should be the favorite here. Wrong side favored.

Anthony Edwards left last night’s game just 3 mins in with a hamstring injury, there’s no way he plays for Minnesota on a 2nd night of a back-to-back. Denver scored 130+ points in both games so far this season, they should be beating a Minnesota team without their best player.

Dallas hasn’t shown anything to warrant trust — blown out by San Antonio, upset by Washington, and barely scraping by Toronto with no defense in sight. Now they face the best team they’ve seen all year. Oklahoma City is fresh off a dominant win over Atlanta and finally playing to its potential. With the Mavericks’ flaws exposed and the Thunder rounding into form, this one shouldn’t be close.
