Nothing, not even Covid-19, has surprised me more than the Pistons becoming the safest bet in basketball. At a time when Detroit would be expected to rack up losses in hopes of securing the No. 1 draft pick, they have instead turned into a well-oiled cover. machine.
Since Feb. 16, shortly after Jerami Grant returned from injury, they are 17-2-2 ATS (ATS). This is a coverage rate of 81% over nearly two months. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how ridiculous this is, but just know that this kind of spread isn’t supposed to happen. The bettors’ literal job is to help prevent these kinds of streaks, but Cade Cunningham and the Pistons continue to laugh in the faces of sports betting.
I’ve been watching Cade Cunningham a lot lately and he’s a hooper. The feeling for the game is special.

With Cunningham transforming into a star before our eyes, the Pistons have a base they must be delighted with. They rank 10th in net standings in their last 10 games, thanks to the third-best defense in the entire league in that span. For a team that has had next to nothing to celebrate in recent years, this is a remarkable turnaround.
Indiana, on the other hand, looks a lot more like the tanking team we’ve come to expect from Detroit. They are 28th overall in their previous 10 competitions with one of the worst defenses in basketball. The Pacers are just 2-5 in their last seven games as home favorites, while Detroit is 8-0-1 ATS in their last nine as an underdog on the road.
I’m not one to return gifts, so I won’t think twice about pounding the Pistons at WynnBET today. Let’s go to Motor City, baby – you made me a believer.
