The Detroit Pistons will welcome the Houston Rockets to the Little Caesars Arena in an NBA cross-conference clash. The Pistons are at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, while the Rockets are in fourth place in the Western Conference. Here's our match prediction.
The Detroit Pistons enter the first night of a back-to-back, aiming to continue their fine run of form. The home team has won each of their last four matches. Notably, they've won seven of their last eight NBA games.
In their latest match, they faced the New Orleans Pelicans on the road. As expected, they managed to secure a 112-104 victory. Jalen Duren led the team with 20 points and grabbed 15 rebounds.
The Pistons are at home this time around. Their performance has met expectations as they head into this clash riding a three-game winning streak.
The Houston Rockets enter the second night of a back-to-back aiming to return to winning ways. In their recent match against the Philadelphia 76ers on the road, they couldn't live up to their billing as favorites and suffered a 128-122 overtime defeat.
Before this result, the Rockets were on a three-match winning streak. In unfamiliar territory, their performance has left much to be desired. They've lost five straight games after seeing off the threats of the Lakers and the Nets.
