The Detroit Pistons will try to snap their seven-game losing streak tonight on the road against the shorthanded Denver Nuggets.
Of course, Detroit will be shorthanded as well, as Cade Cunningham is still out, although there have been some positive signs around his injury (more on that later).
Detroit still hasn’t won a game on the road and currently sits alone with the worst record in the NBA, while the Nuggets are 10-6, which is good for the 3rd seed in the crowded Western Conference.
This will be the first game of the Pistons’ SIXTH back-to-back already this season, so if they don’t win this one, expect the losing streak to carry on in Utah on Wednesday. Good times!
Here is all of the information you need for tonight’s game.
Detroit Pistons vs Denver Nuggets: Odds, Spread, Over/Under
Even though the Nuggets are missing half of their team, Fanduel still has Detroit as 6.5 point underdogs on the road. The money lines are set at +240 for Detroit and -295 for Denver.
With so many players out, there isn’t an over/under for this game, but I expect it will be low, as most of the best scorers are out or questionable.
Pistons injury report: Is Cade Cunningham out for the season?
Cade Cunningham is still out indefinitely, although he was seen getting some shots up before the game against the Kings. That seems awfully stupid considering the remedy for a stress fracture is rest, but maybe it’s an indication it’s not as bad as originally thought. I’m grasping here.
Isaiah Stewart is still out with a toe injury and Saddiq Bey has returned to Detroit to rehab his ankle, so he’ll be out for the rest of the road trip too.
The Nuggets will be without Jeff Green for sure, and Nikola Jokic, Ish Smith and Aaron Gordon are all questionable. Bones Hyland is probable and Jamal Murray is doubtful, so who knows what Denver team we are going to see.
Detroit Pistons vs. Denver Nuggets: Prediction
It’s hard to predict this game when we don’t really know who is going to play for Denver, but it would be hard to pick Detroit either way.
The Nuggets are coming off a shorthanded win against Dallas on the road, and could be getting some guys back (check the injury report) so should be able to handle Detroit at home where they have only lost one game.
Detroit 105, Denver 115
