Detroit Pistons vs New Orleans Pelicans Pick – 3/17/2025


On March 17, 2025, the Detroit Pistons will face off against the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. The game is set to tip off at 8:00 PM ET, and the Pistons enter this matchup as favorites with a spread of -6.5.

Despite being on the road, Detroit carries an implied win probability of 69%, supported by their strong performance over the last 40 games, where they've secured 26 victories. The Pistons recently experienced a setback, losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 113-107, but their overall form has been considerably better than that of the Pelicans.

New Orleans, on the other hand, has struggled significantly this season, boasting a dismal record of 18-50. They come into this game having lost 36 of their last 50 contests, including a narrow defeat to the San Antonio Spurs, where they fell 119-115. With an implied win probability of just 31%, the Pelicans face an uphill battle against a Pistons team that has shown more resilience.

For bettors looking to explore player prop markets, Jalen Duren's Points, Rebounds, and Assists line has emerged as a popular option, currently set at Over 29.5 with a price of -120. Many sharp bettors are leaning toward the Over, suggesting they believe it’s mispriced and offers good value.

As game day approaches, the Pistons will look to capitalize on their momentum and reinforce their standing, while the Pelicans will seek to turn their fortunes around in front of their home crowd.
