The Detroit Pistons will play host to the New Orleans Pelicans at Little Caesars Arena in the NBA on Sunday. The Pistons (39-32) are sixth in the Eastern Conference, while the Pels (19-52) are 14th in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Detroit Pistons have been struggling for consistency of late, now 5-5 in their last 10 games after losing 123-117 to the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.
Cade Cunningham led the charge with 35 points and seven rebounds, while Malik Beasley and Ron Holland combined for 28 points, six rebounds and three assists off the bench.
The Pistons are mid-table on both ends this season, 11th for points scored (115.1 PPG), and 14th for points against (112.9 PPG).
Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans have been in very poor form and lost their eighth game in the last 10, going down 134-93 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road on Friday.
CJ McCollum and Bruce Brown Jr combined for 29 points. As a team, New Orleans shot 50% from the field and made 11 of 31 from long range but baskets were too few and far between.
The Pels are bottom 10 on both ends this season, 24th for average points scored (110.3 PPG) and 26th for points against (119.3 PPG).
