Detroit Pistons vs Phoenix Suns Prediction: High-Quality Defense

Prediction for the NBA Detroit Pistons vs Phoenix Suns match, which will take place on February 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Pistons, like Phoenix, will be on the floor for the second day in a row. In the last game, Dwane Casey's team hosted Charlotte. The first half of the meeting was very productive, but the long-forgotten Detroit defense suddenly started working in the second. In the final 24 minutes, Detroit conceded only 44 points and won 118:112. A great match from the Eastern Conference outsider, albeit only the second in the last eight games, six of which ended in defeats to the Pistons.

The Suns' success in the Boston meeting was a lot unexpected. After all, before that, in a home game, Monty Williams' team was destroyed by Atlanta – 100:132. However, at TD Garden, Phoenix again reminded itself of the sample of the previous two seasons, when the team was one of the strongest in the NBA. Or does it remain so? 106:94 – The Suns demonstrated excellent work in defense, allowing the leader of the East and one of the best offensive teams of the season to realize only 38.7% of attempts from the game.

Phoenix, although it recently lost outrageously to Atlanta, has won seven of the last nine matches, showing in these meetings what allowed the team to achieve success in previous seasons – high-quality defense. There is no reason to assume that this trend will not be confirmed in the game with Detroit. The Pistons are a record outsider of the season and a very young team, which, after a quality game with Charlotte, is likely to fail.
