A minuscule NBA slate on Thursday features only one game with a big spread, though we still have a few spots that are worth your bankroll. Check out our Mavericks-Pistons NBA picks based on the top odds.
The Mavericks have been about as mediocre as you can get this season, sitting at 10-10 and eighth in the Western Conference. They are coming off a close win against the defending-champion Golden State Warriors and will play an inter-conference road game against the Detroit Pistons, who are dead last in the Eastern Conference at 5-18.
Here are my NBA picks and predictions for Thursday's game between the Mavericks and Pistons (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
