Wednesday's NBA Free Pick: Detroit Pistons -3

With the Bobcats winning on the road at Orlando and the Pistons losing at home to the Grizzlies last night, it has set up a very favorable spot to jump on Detroit. Charlotte struggles just to keep games competitive and rarely do you see them win multiple games in a row. The Bobcats are a miserable 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games when they are anywhere from a 3-point favorite to a 3-point dog and are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games following an upset win as a road underdog.

The Pistons were caught off guard earlier this season when Charlotte left Detroit with a 108-101 overtime victory. No need to worry about the Pistons not showing up. Detroit is 29-13 ATS revenging a straight up loss vs opponent as a home favorite of 7or more since 1996. They are also 21-7 ATS in their last 28 road games vs a team with a home winning percentage less than .400. BET THE PISTONS!
