(NBA) New Orleans vs. Detroit, 02/14/2021 7:00 PM, Score: 112 - 123
Point Spread: -4.50 | -110.00 New Orleans (Away)
Result: Loss
The Pelicans will get back to playing good defense against a Pistons team that simply lacks the offensive firepower to embarrass them like previous opponents. Detroit also lacks the defensive ability to stop them on the other end. They are allowing the fourth-highest two-point percentage shooting this season. That stat line is like music to Zion Williamson’s ears coming into a game where he’ll be able to bully the opposition and dominate in the point.

The real unraveling for the Pistons will come on the boards against a Pelicans team that ranks sixth in the league in average total rebounds (54.8). It’ll limit any second-chance shot opportunities a struggling team like Detroit desperately needs and New Orleans should get the win and cover in this one on Sunday night.
