NBA Basketball Pick 2-5-10

My NBA pick for 2-5-10 is:

Detroit Pistons at Indiana Pacers – 7:05 p.m. ET

Bet: #803 Detroit Pistons +3.5

 Several reasons why I like Detroit in this spot tonight. First, we have the revenge angle. Indiana went into Detroit two weeks ago and upset the Pistons, 105-93. Secondly, we have Indiana coming off an emotional revenge win at home against Toronto, 130-115. That was the second game of a home-and-home series, and Toronto had won the first meeting by 15. So Indiana was plenty motivated coming back home, and they shot 52.4% in the revenge win. It’s only natural to expect a letdown in this one, especially with another revenge game tomorrow night against the surging Bucks. A similar scenario played out less than two weeks ago. Indiana lost the 76ers by 10, beat them by 11 just two days later (and also shot over 50%), and then laid an egg at home against the Lakers (lost by 22). Now I realize the Pistons are not in the class of the Lakers, but we also don’t need a 22-point win tonight.

Bottom line: Detroit is finally healthy, and Indiana is in a solid letdown spot. The Pacers are also 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a SU win of more than 10 points. Take the points with Detroit.
