Randy’s Pick

The Detroit Pistons are not only piling up the losses at a record pace, but they're just 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games despite being big underdogs on a nightly basis. The Indiana Pacers continue to be one of the biggest surprises in the league with their offensive firepower, and they are a profitable 8-6 ATS. I want nothing to do with the Pistons. Give me the Pacers in a blowout home win.
