Detroit Rock City | Thebigtip

The Detroit Pistons are the hottest betting team in the NBA right now and with 12 points start against the struggling Los Angeles Lakers, are the three-star NBA play of the day and are shaping as the bet of the week.

The Lakers may be 23-11 and the Pistons 11-23 in the standings but betting wise the tale is entirely different. This season Detroit are 20-14 against the line while the Lakers are a losing 15-19.

Detroit have warmed punters hearts over the last three weeks, streaking hard against the bookies line. The Pistons have covered 7 of their last 9 including three of their last four when on the road mainly due to an outstanding improvement in play from Tayshaun Prince.

The Lakers, meanwhile, have covered only one of their last six and have failed to beat the line in seven of their last eight at the Staples Centre.

The 12 points assigned the Pistons is way too big. Get on and get on now.
