Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The bet on 'Detroit Pistons Under 132.5' points is a well-founded choice based on the Pistons' recent scoring trends. In their last five games, the Pistons have averaged only 103.6 points overall and 106 points at home. Both averages are significantly lower than the 132.5 point threshold for this bet. Additionally, the Pistons' recent performance at home has been poor, with a 0-5 record in their last five home games. Coupled with the model prediction of 124.23 points, which is also below the 132.5 point mark, these statistics heavily support an Under 132.5 bet. The fact that the model also gives this outcome a high implied probability of 87.7% further underscores the solid statistical reasoning behind this bet.
