Bottom Line: The combination of home consistency, defensive leverage, rest advantage, and rebounding edge supports Detroit covering a modest spread.
- Home-Court Reliability: Detroit has been consistent at home, translating to higher win probability and better ATS performance when favored.
- Defensive Control: The Pistons’ defensive efficiency allows them to dictate pace, limit transition opportunities, and suppress opponent scoring runs.
- Situational Edge: Houston is on the second night of a back-to-back, a spot that historically degrades road performance and late-game execution.
- Interior Advantage: With Steven Adams unavailable, Houston is vulnerable on the glass and in the paint-areas where Detroit can generate extra possessions and second-chance points.
