Detroit is the better team, and the number is not big enough to scare anyone off. The Pistons are 4-1, Brooklyn is 0-4, and the road favorite is the side with the defense and the depth.
Brooklyn has not found a win yet, and Detroit has defended well enough early to trust on the road. Seven and a half points against a winless team is a lay, not a leap.
Betting angle
Detroit Pistons -7.5 (-110). The road favorite, laying points. A $10 ticket returns $19.
Watch Friday at 6:30 PM CT from Brooklyn.
