Suns vs. Pistons Prediction & Pick
The Pistons have put up a fight lately by taking down two superior teams from the Western Conference, proving they should not be taken for granted, even without Cade Cunningham.
Meanwhile, the Suns will once again be without Chris Paul, who remains sidelined with a heel injury. Phoenix is 4-3 in his absence but has won three of its last four, suggesting that the team is becoming more comfortable without him directing the offense.
Even with Detroit's recent success, this game is still a clear mismatch. The Pistons are scoring the 11th-fewest points per game and giving up the t hird-most, while the Suns rank top-10 in both categories.
This game could end up being closer than expected, but Phoenix should still win fairly easily.
Final Score Prediction:'Suns: 118 | Pistons: 107
Suns vs. Pistons Best Bet
With Paul still out, look for Devin Booker to continue his career-best scoring pace. He's currently averaging 27.4 points per game, which is essentially what is points prop is for Friday. With Detroit allowing a whopping 117.9 points per game (third-most in NBA), Booker should feast and drop 30-pl us.
