The pick: Detroit Pistons -4.5 at −110
Lost. Final: Houston Rockets 111, Detroit Pistons 104.
The Detroit Pistons (32-10) host the Houston Rockets (26-16) with significant injury advantages. Houston is missing three key rotation players including starting point guard Fred VanVleet, while Detroit's injuries are less impactful with their core bigs healthy.
