Detroit Pistons vs. New Orleans Pelicans Analysis

The Pistons have lost back to back games, and are 2-3 on the season. Their latest loss to Portland came after blowing a 12 point halftime lead. In the loss, Cade Cunningham poured in a game high 30 points. On the season, the guard is scoring 22.8 points and dishing out 6.8 assists per game.

Jalen Duren is having a nice start to the season, making nearly 69% of his shots, and scoring 15.5 points per game. Duren is questionable in this game, as he is on the injury report with an ankle injury. The Pistons are looking to surpass their 17 wins from a season ago.

For Detroit, they will host the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors next, before a trip to Milwaukee and a home game against the 76ers over the next 8 days. The Detroit Pistons roster is young, but mostly inexperienced in winning consistently.

Pelicans Soaring

The Pelicans have gotten off to a good start, with three wins in their first four games. The latest was a 4-point win over Oklahoma City. New Orleans got down 22 points, but CJ McCollum led them all the way back, with a game-high 29 points. McCollum is second on, when looking at NBA Stats with 21 points per game, just behind Zion Williamson, who is scoring 21.5 per game.

Brandon Ingram has missed the last two games for the Pelicans with a knee injury. He got off to a good start this season, scoring 22.5 points and ripping down 7 rebounds per game. The 2nd overall pick out of Duke in 2016, Ingram is scoring just shy of 20 points per game in his career.

New Orleans is set to play this NBA game on Saturday against Atlanta at home, before going on the road for three straight games; at Denver, Minnesota and Houston, before starting a six-game home stand. The New Orleans Pelicans standings so far have been good, keeping guys off the NBA injury report for an extended time will make a huge deal.

Detroit Pistons vs. New Orleans Pelicans Betting Picks

Both NBA teams are coming off a game on Wednesday, so no excuses about the back-to-back. The Pelicans are better than the Pistons. The Pistons may be a bit younger than New Orleans, so their legs may withstand it better.

But, in the end, the more talented team is New Orleans. Look for the Pistons to struggle to score in this game, and the Pelicans to take advantage of it. In a pretty ugly basketball game, the Pelicans win this game. Our final Pistons vs Pelicans betting picks, bet New Orleans -7.5 over the Detroit Pistons.
