We will throw a sprinkle down on Ayton as he's averaging 14.8 rebounds per game and Detroit is without its top rebounder in Jalen Duren.

Every indicator that the Pistons are an improved outfit this season, with a healthy Cade Cunningham scoring at better than 21 ppg and NBA sources noting that new HC Monty Williams appears a perfect fit with his patience and emphasis on structure for an emerging young team. Still not high on Portland even after the surprise win at Toronto, as three losses with spread Ls preceded that success vs. the Raps. Play Pistons

The Blazers selected Scoot Henderson with the 2nd overall pick in the draft and then subsequently traded future HOFer Damian Lillard to the Bucks, essentially handing the keys of the franchise over to Henderson. Henderson will play upwards of 35+ minutes tonight in a game that should be competitive. Scoot has yet to have a true breakout game and as a result we're getting a very friendly number here and too low to resist.

The Trail Blazers are 1-3 and have the look of one of the worst teams in the league. They didn’t enter the season with much depth and things have become more complicated with their top scorer Anfernee Simons (thumb) out. The result has been them averaging only 101.3 points per game. With rookie Ausar Thompson leading the charge, the Pistons have given up just 107.0 points per game on their way to a 2-2 start. Don’t expect the Trail Blazers to be able to score enough to pull out the road victory.
