Mavericks vs Pistons Betting Pick
This game will be played at Little Caesars Arena at 7:00 PM ET on Wednesday, April 6, 2022.
Why Bet The Mavericks:
✅ Simply put, the Mavericks are a better team than the Pistons. Back in February, Dallas trounced Detroit 116-86 and easily covered an 11-point spread. The Mavs held the Pistons to only 37.9% shooting from the field and 16.7% from downtown. Furthermore, Dallas has played very well over the last few weeks. The Mavericks have gone 5-2 SU and ATS in their last seven outings and 14-6 SU and 13-7 ATS in their previous 20 showings at any location.
✅ The Mavericks’ backcourt will control the flow of the game and dominate the Pistons, who might miss rookie Cade Cunningham (23.0 PPG in the last ten games). Luka Doncic will torture Detroit all night long, while Jalen Brunson could be an X-factor after averaging 17.6 points on 50.4% shooting from the field in his last ten appearances.

✅ Dallas is only one game behind the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. The Mavs will certainly like to surpass the Warriors and avoid the eventual semifinal clash against the mighty Phoenix Suns, whose record is the best in the NBA by far. On the other side, the Pistons have nothing to play for. Another loss would probably cement them as the third-worst team in the league.
Dallas Mavericks
After suffering a heavy 135-103 defeat at the Washington Wizards, the Mavericks returned to the right track last Sunday. They beat the Milwaukee Bucks 118-112, upsetting the odds as 6.5-point road underdogs.
Luka Doncic tortured the reigning champions for 32 points and 15 assists. Dwight Powell posted a double-double of 22 points and 13 rebounds, while Jalen Brunson added 15 points. The Mavs executed their offense at a high level, making 51.3% of their field goals and 42.1% of their triples.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons have won three games in a row, but two of those three victories have come against the lowly Thunder and Pistons. After beating Oklahoma City 110-101 as 4.5-point road favorites, the Pistons outlasted Indiana 121-117 as 4.5-point road underdogs last Sunday. Now, Detroit is riding a five-game ATS winning streak.
Cade Cunningham sat out the Pacers game due to a hip injury, so Saddiq Bey led the way for the Pistons with 31 points. Bey went 7-for-9 from beyond the 3-point line, and the sharpshooting Pistons made 21 of their 41 attempts from deep.
