The Pistons and Pacers link up again on Monday in Indianapolis, just a week after Detroit took the first meeting 127-112 behind Jalen Duren’s dominant 31-point, 15-rebound night. Detroit hasn’t slowed down since. The Pistons rolled into Milwaukee on Saturday and beat the Bucks 129-116, powered by Cade Cunningham’s 29 points, eight boards and 10 assists on an efficient 10-of-18 shooting night. They’ve now won 12 straight ,their longest streak in more than 20 years.

Indiana, on the other hand, is still trying to find its footing. The Pacers dropped another one on Saturday, falling 120-109 in Cleveland despite Andrew Nembhard tying his career high with 32 points and Pascal Siakam adding 26 and nine. Indiana has now lost nine of its last 10 and is searching for answers as they get a quick shot at redemption against Detroit.

PICK – DETROIT -9.0

PICKS ATS

The Cavaliers and Raptors both sitting on 12 wins quare off again Monday at Scotiabank Arena, marking their third meeting of the season. Toronto has owned the matchup so far, taking both prior games on the road, and notably, Darius Garland hasn’t suited up for either one. The Raptors come in riding serious momentum after a 119-109 win over Brooklyn, pushing their winning streak to seven — their longest run since early 2022.

Cleveland is rolling, too. The Cavs handled the Clippers 120-105 on Sunday thanks to Donovan Mitchell’s 37 points, eight rebounds and five threes on 14-of-22 shooting. Cleveland has now won 17 straight when Mitchell hits at least 55 percent from the field. Toronto will be sweating on RJ Barrett’s availability after he exited Sunday’s game with a knee injury.

PICK – CLEVELAND -2.5
