Pistons at Clippers 1/12/19 - NBA Picks & Predictions

The Saturday NBA schedule will tip-off with a matinee between the Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Clippers from Staples Center.

The Pistons have lost four games in a row and are two games back of Charlotte for the final playoff spot in the East. On Thursday, Detroit trailed by 13 points after one quarter and never seriously challenged during a 112-102 loss at Sacramento. The Pistons were dominated on the glass by a 57-40 margin and shot just 43 percent from the field.

Lou Williams led four Los Angeles players in double figures with 19 points and five assists. Tobias Harris added 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Clippers in defeat.

Betting Trends for vs

Detroit F Blake Griffin (rest) did not play on Thursday and is expected to be ready to face his former team. The Pistons rank 25th in offensive efficiency and will be looking to help Griffin defeat the team that traded him away. My lean is on Detroit, but the stronger play is on the under. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Clippers win in under total game 110-103.
