The Los Angeles Clippers head to the Little Caesars Arena to take on the Detroit Pistons in the NBA on Saturday night. The Pistons (28-9) lead the Eastern Conference standings, while the Clippers (14-23) are 11th in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After a three-game losing run, the Detroit Pistons are starting to heat back up, now riding a three-game win streak after hammering the Bulls 108-93 on Wednesday night.
During this run, the Pistons also smashed the Knicks 121-90, producing arguably their best performance of the season and underlining their ambition this season. The win over the Bulls came with Cade Cunningham, Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren all rested.
Detroit has a top-10 offence, but their major strength has been on defence, where they rank second behind OKC. They will be eyeing revenge here, having lost to this opponent by 13 last month.
Meanwhile, things are starting to click for the Clippers as they have now won eight of their last 10 games after easing past the lowly Nets 121-105 last night.
Kawhi Leonard has been playing his best ball of the season lately, and combined with James Harden for 57 points last night, while Jordan Miller chipped in with a season-high 21 points.
Over these last 10 games, the Clippers rank as the second-best offence in the league and 14th on defence. They are now two wins off the 10th-placed Grizzlies.

Our Detroit Pistons vs LA Clippers Prediction
The Clippers have been one of the in-form teams in recent weeks, but they have relied heavily on Kawhi Leonard, and there is a good chance he will be rested here after a big performance against the Nets last night. Bradley Beal and Derrick Jones are ruled out.
The Pistons could also give Cade Cunningham the night off, which will make producing another solid defensive performance a key factor. Detroit held their opponents to 90 and 93 points in their last two games, and we’re expecting something similar in this one. Our Detroit Pistons vs LA Clippers prediction is under 220.5.
