Free Detroit Pistons vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Prediction:

Most NBA teams would be in a tough spot without their star player—especially when that player is a top-3 MVP candidate named Luka Doncic.

Further, most teams would be completely screwed without their top two scorers.

Most teams, however, are not playing the Detroit Pistons on Monday. That’s just the Mavericks. And Dallas can breathe a sigh of relief because of that.

No Luka…No Problem

The Pistons have no interest in winning basketball games the rest of this season, whereas Dallas—even without Doncic and Christian Wood—are scrapping their way through the wild Western Conference and need every win they can get during the regular season’s second half.

Dallas will be motivated without its star players, whereas the Pistons will be shooting for another ping-pong ball in the end-of-season draft lottery.

Give this one to the Mavericks, and give it to them by a wide margin.
