On Saturday night, the Detroit Pistons will play the Phoenix Suns at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The tip-off for their season-opening match is scheduled for 9:00 PM ET.
Detroit has lost seven straight meetings with Phoenix. In this series, will the Suns continue to dominate? To provide you with the best Pistons vs. Suns prediction, let's examine this cross-conference matchup in more detail.
Over their last 10 games, the Phoenix Suns have a 5-5 SU record and a 4-6 ATS record. The Suns were unable to increase their winning streak to three games last Thursday. The Suns lost to the Indiana Pacers 120-111 after defeating the Utah Jazz 134-126 and the Portland Trail Blazers 116-109.
The Suns were 6.5-point favorites when they played the Pacers. Phoenix made 48.8% of its field goals and restricted Indiana to 43.8% shooting from the field. However, the Suns committed seven more turnovers than their opponents (16-9) and only shot 9 for 30 from beyond the arc.
Devin Booker scored 17 points before leaving the game in the third quarter due to groin pain, while Kevin Durant tormented the Pacers for 37 points. Booker is labeled as questionable for the Pistons game despite averaging 25.1 points and 6.4 assists.
With 115.8 points per 100 possessions, the Suns and the Sacramento Kings share the seventh-best offensive rating in the NBA. The Suns' defense, on the other hand, is lacking; Phoenix gives up 116.4 points per 100 possessions, which is 24th in the league.
The Detroit Pistons have lost six of their last ten games and have a 2-2 record both straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in their most recent four contests. Their most recent result was a 126-119 home loss to the struggling Utah Jazz on Thursday, highlighting the inconsistency of this Detroit squad.
Throughout the game, the Pistons were behind Utah, at one point trailing by as much as 29 points. They allowed the Jazz to score 48 points in the first quarter alone. Detroit's shooting was subpar, making only 43.8% of their attempts from the field, including 13 out of 47 from beyond the arc. On a positive note, the Pistons outperformed the Jazz in the paint, scoring 62 points to Utah's 34, and committed 17 fewer turnovers (27-10).
Cade Cunningham led the way with 33 points in the loss to Utah. In a close victory over the Miami Heat last Monday, Cunningham posted a triple-double with 20 points, 18 assists, and 11 rebounds in a 125-124 overtime win. Both Jaden Ivey (knee) and Isaiah Stewart (knee) missed the Utah game and are uncertain for Detroit's upcoming game against Phoenix on Saturday.
Devin Booker has been ruled out due to groin pain, according to the most recent injury report. The four-time All-Star will not be available to the Suns for the first time this season.
The Pistons will still have a tough game against the Suns even without Booker in the lineup. Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal are two elite players that Phoenix will have at their disposal. Detroit cannot ignore this undermanned team, as they have more than enough firepower at their disposal.
Although they were extremely hot at the beginning of the year, the Suns have recently returned to Earth. They are only 14-12 overall and have lost two of their previous six games.
