Tyrese Haliburton is averaging a career-high 11.3 assists per game this season. That has included him dishing out at least 11 assists in five of his last seven games. The Pistons have struggled on defense, leaving them with the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league. Haliburton has faced them three times this season, dishing out 10, 16 and 13 assists in those matchups. I’ll pay the juice and take the over here.
There's a reason the Pistons are trending "under" (13-4 their last seventeen games); the offense lacks an extra gear, especially since Bojan Bogdanovic (and Alex Burks) were traded to the Knicks before the deadline, taking away two support pieces from top scorer Cade Cunningham. Meanwhile, Rick Carlisle has gradually slowed the tempo for the Pacers, recently fitting ex-Raptor Pascal Siakam into the mix, and like Detroit, Indiana is also "under"13 -4 across its last seventeen games.

This is a big combo line for Andrew Nembhard who averages 15.2 PRA and routinely plays around 26-28 minutes per game. Nembhard has had an impressive rookie season and not only has earned meaningful minutes on a playoff team, but took over as the starting PG when Tyrese Haliburton was injured. Nembhard has remained in the starting lineup even with Haliburton back, however he averages just 13.8 PRA alongside Hali, compared to 20.7 with Hali on the shelf. Additionally there is some blowout risk as well.
