Parlay: Pistons +8.5 + Hardaway under 10.5 points + Fox over 5.5 assists<\/strong> (+310)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pistons +8.5 (-177):<\/strong> Has Detroit finally turned a corner? It’s probably too early to say but the Pistons have been playing well lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J. B. Bickerstaff’s squad picked up back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns and have now won four of their last six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pistons kicked that streak off by beating a surging Knicks team in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I keep waiting for Sacramento to find its footing but that might not happen. The Kings are on a four-game losing streak and are now 13-17 on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re loaded with talent but haven’t been able to put things together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sacramento is 10-19-1 ATS including a 4-9-1 mark as a home favourite. Detroit, meanwhile, is 8-4-1 ATS as a road underdog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hardaway under 10.5 points<\/strong> (-143):<\/strong> This is a great spot to fade Hardaway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detroit’s small forward is shooting an uninspiring 42.2% from the field and is only taking 8.1 shots per night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are games where Hardaway isn’t involved offensively \u2014 he’s scored five or fewer points five times in the last 15 games \u2014 and I think tonight will be one of those contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sacramento is allowing the sixth-fewest points per game to opposing SFs, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardaway has cleared this line in consecutive games but is 12-15 against this number on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox over 5.5 assists (-295):<\/strong> Fox’s floor as a facilitator is high:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • He has averaged at least 5.6 assists per game since his rookie season.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fox has 5+ assists in 23\/30 games this year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    It’s worth noting that this is a tough matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Pistons allow the second-fewest assists per game to point guards and the 11th-fewest assists overall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, Fox has been dishing it. Sacramento’s floor general has seven-plus assists in eight of 10 games in December. I like him to stay hot despite Detroit’s defensive prowess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
