Detroit Pistons vs Phoenix Suns prediction

The Phoenix Suns have the talent to blow the doors off here, but they're also on the end of a back to back and coming off a hard fought game against the Kings. There's also a chance the Suns could be without Beal after an injury yesterday. The Detroit Pistons are a competitive bunch that doesn't win games but plays hard and has covered 7 of their last 10 games. Lots of points in this spot. I'll keep riding with the Pistons in the underdog role as long as the tickets keep cashing.
