[h=1]Detroit Pistons at Houston Rockets[/h][h=1]Pick: Rockets -3[/h]This is a matchup here between a team of both the Eastern and Western conference, both teams having average seasons at best. On one hand you have the Pistons who have struggled of late winning just 5 of their last 12 games both SU and ATS. They have not been able to create much of anything on the offensive side of the ball, averaging just 93 points over their last 12 games. They need a strong performance out of their leading scorer Reggie Jackson to stay with the high-powered offense of the Rockets, lead by elite scorer James Hardin. The Rockets are 5[SUP]th[/SUP] in the NBA averaging 104.3 points per game, but their defense has been abysmal giving up 105.3 this season. I think the Pistons struggle to score in this one and end up losing by 8+ points here, so take the Rockets minus the three points.
