Pistons vs Suns Game Preview and Analysis
Detroit enters this matchup playing some of its best basketball of the season. The Pistons have won six of their last seven games and just opened their West Coast trip with a tough two-point win in Denver. That result matters, especially with this being the second night of a road swing.
These teams met two weeks ago and Detroit found a way to win despite shooting poorly from deep and leaving points at the free-throw line. That game showed how thin the margin already is for Phoenix, and this version of the Suns is even more short-handed.
Phoenix is coming off a win over Brooklyn, but that game came without Devin Booker. The Suns have struggled to cover numbers recently, and the scoring drop-off is showing up in totals as well. Detroit’s current form and relative health give them a clear edge.
Key Injuries and Notes for DET and PHX
- Devin Booker is not expected to play for Phoenix due to an ankle injury.
- Isaiah Livers is also out for the Suns.
- Collin Gillespie and Jalen Green are questionable for Phoenix.
- Caris LeVert is questionable for Detroit.
Final Score Prediction
If Detroit avoids the free-throw and shooting issues it had in the first meeting, this matchup sets up well for a comfortable road win.
Final Score: Pistons 109, Suns 101
ATS and Total Picks
- ATS Pick: Pistons -4
