Most Pistons fans would make a surprising bet

Why to take under 24.5 wins for the Detroit Pistons 

Most teams don’t improve by 10 games in one season no matter how low their win total was the year before, so just going by that, the under is the safer bet. 

You’d also make it if you don’t believe Cade Cunningham can stay healthy for 65+ games, which he has yet to do in a season, and know that without him, the Pistons are cooked and doomed for another lottery appearance. 

You bet the under if you don’t believe the veterans Detroit added are anything more than placeholders who won’t move the needle, that Philly fans are right about Tobias Harris being washed, that Beasley is just a gunner who doesn’t do anything else and that THJ is the second coming of Joe Harris. 

You bet the under if you don’t believe in Ivey and Duren’s defense and think Ausar Thompson isn’t going to make an impact until he can shoot 3-point shots. 

You bet the under because the Pistons have plenty to prove and have yet to do it. 

A compelling argument can be made for either bet but given what we’ve seen from the Detroit Pistons over the years, it’s probably best to take the under (and be pleasantly surprised if they exceed it) or to run away.
