Los Angeles Clippers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds │27 NOVEMBER, 2021

In this cross-conference battle, the Los Angeles Clippers host the Detroit Pistons. The Clippers have won 10 out of 18 games while conversely, the Pistons have lost 14 of their 18 games so far. The Pistons are vulnerable in multiple ways and there is no doubt Clippers are the favorite to take this one. For a quick overview, head to the “Notes” section.

Lack of experience: Pistons are simply too young. Killian Hayes, Saddiq Bey, and Isaiah Stewart are all just in their second year while Cade Cunningham is a rookie. Jerami Grant has some experience, Cory Joseph is also a veteran, but the team is largely dependent upon youngsters. And it shows in the way games progress, in some of the games, we have seen the youth movement build a lead early only to collapse late in the game when the pressure gets to them.

Their defense is poor: Pistons allow opponents to shoot 48% or more against them for the season, which is the league’s worst. From the perimeter, teams shoot around 39% against Detroit and that is why the squad is among the worst defensive ones in the league. The defense is largely suffering due to inexperience. On the other hand, Grant can put up 18-21 points regularly but he isn’t the same scorer as last season. Bey gets around 13-15 a game while Cade is figuring it out, struggling from the floor at times. Perhaps, Killian Hayes’ shooting percentage of around 30 is the most worrisome factor right now. Meanwhile, Isaiah Stewart is more like a rebounder than a scorer.

They have struggled lately: While Clippers are surely lightyears ahead of Pistons in terms of depth and experience, they have some frailties too. The Clippers’ offense can go cold if either Paul George or Reggie Jackson is struggling and there are times when the team struggles to put up 25 points a quarter. Jackson and George combine for around 50-55 points on most nights but guard Eric Bledsoe has struggled recently to reach even double-figures. Mann and Kennard are also not consistent double-digit scorers while Zubac has played well in terms of offense. Clippers have to find more offense from players other than George or Jackson.

They defend well: LA Clippers have held multiple teams under 100 and the unit does well defensively. Los Angeles has three superb perimeter defenders in George, Bledsoe, and Jackson, who can be highly pesky. Inside Zubac has discipline while Mann also plays tough on defense. Of course, having Kawhi will make them a better offensive and defensive team but as of now, the team is doing better than expected as a defensive unit.

Here are some quick hitters related to the game:

  • Clippers are 5-1 against teams that have under 50% wins. However, they have lost four out of the last six games, including one against Pelicans who are under the 50% win mark.
  • Clippers are 8-4 at home.
  • Pistons are 2-6 away from home.
  • Pistons are 0-13 against teams that have a winning record. They are yet to beat a team that has a winning record.
  • Clippers have scored 104, 97, 81, 108, 106 in the last five games.
  • Pistons have scored 93, 92, 116, 102, 97 in the last five games.
  • Oppositions have scored 112, 91, 94, 120, 92 in the last five games against the Clippers.
  • Oppositions have scored 114, 100, 121, 105, 89 in the last five games against the Pistons.
  • Jerami Grant leads the Pistons in scoring.
  • Paul George leads the Clippers in points, assists, and steals. He has scored around 26 per game while dishing off 5 assists or so every game on average.
  • Kelly Olynyk and Chris Smith also remain out. Premier rebounder and defender Isaiah Stewart will most likely return for the game after serving a two-game suspension. Killian Hayes is questionable for the Pistons.
  • Nicolas Batum will be out for another 10 days or so. Meanwhile, Kawhi Leonard and Jason Preston continue to remain out for the Clippers.

Points Range: Despite the Clippers’ offense struggling a bit recently, the Pistons offense can allow a ton of points and we can see LA scoring 110-120 on them. On the other hand, the Pistons can get shut out and score under so the points range seems to be somewhere between 200-210

Prediction: Pistons will have to pull off something special to win this game and it is unlikely they will come on top. Clippers’ experienced players will be desperate to notch a win and it is highly likely they will pull through.

  • Total: Over 204.5 for 1.82;
  • Home Team Total Points: Over 109 for 1.90:
  • Alternative Points Spread: LA Clippers -11.0 for 1.80.
