I have zero faith in this selection, but how can you not pick this trainwreck? It's like looking at a car accident -- you don't want to but can't help it. The losing coach gets fired late Friday night quite possibly. With Tyrese Haliburton ruled out for the Kings, who are also on the second of a back-to-back, and Saddiq Bey cleared to play for the Pistons, we will take the points. Detroit has to win a few games the rest of the way, and they most likely will be at home. The Kings have not only lost nine straight, they haven't covered any of them.

The Kings have lost nine straight games and were just demolished by the Knicks on Thursday, falling by 19 points. If they lose this game, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see coach Luke Walton fired. While the Pistons are an ugly 3-15 on the road, they are 6-8 at home. Saben Lee has filled in well at point guard and Jerami Grant is fresh after being rested Wednesday, so I like the Pistons’ chances of pulling off the win.

Detroit is a respectable 6-8 at home, 9-5 against the spread. The Pistons also are 6-1 ATS as home dogs. The Kings have lost nine straight both straight-up and against the spread, and they continue to trot out the NBA's worst defense. Last night they gave up 140 points to the Knicks. Jerami Grant (23.3 ppg, 5.2 rpg) was rested Wednesday in New Orleans, so he should be ready for 35-plus minutes. Back the Pistons.
