This is a matchup between two teams in the hunt for the top overall pick in the draft. The Spurs have leaned heavily into their rebuild, including trading away Jakob Poeltl and Josh Richardson at the deadline. They have also ruled out Keldon Johnson, Tre Jones, Jeremy Sochan and Romeo Langford for various injuries. The Pistons traded away Saddiq Bey, but should have the rest of their key starters available for this matchup. The Spurs are going to have a difficult time keeping this game close.
The Pistons traded away a solid player Thursday in Saddiq Bey and they are pretty lousy, but San Antonio is in 100 percent tank mode, traded away very good center Jakob Poeltl on Thursday and most of the team's other good players are out injured. Do I trust Detroit -180 worth? Barely and only in this instance.
