This game will continue our NBA odds series as we hand out a Pistons-Kings prediction and pick. We will also let you know how to watch the game.
Detroit (6-43) has been historically bad this season as they are sitting dead last in the NBA with just six wins in 49 games. They are coming off back-to-back double-digit losses to the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Clippers. In their most recent 99-111 loss to the Magic, they allowed Franz Wagner to have himself a career night where he led the team with 38 points. While the Pistons had a collective effort with six players scoring in double figures no one stood out giving them a chance to claim victory at home. Now, they will set out on the road to take on the Sacramento Kings as they look to stop the bleeding in this Wednesday matchup.
Sacramento (29-20) was coming off consecutive losses until they had to go against the surging Cleveland Cavaliers who are the hottest team in the Eastern Conference winning 14 out of their last 15 games. They ultimately lost the game by 26 and both De'Aaron Fox and Domantis Sabonis were held to just 31 combined points which is the lowest combined total of the year for the duo. They now head back home as they welcome the lowly Detroit Pistons to town in hopes of getting back into the win column on Wednesday night.
