Mavericks vs. Pistons Prediction

The Mavericks' recent victory over the Warriors marked their first win in five games. They'll look to keep this winning form going tonight as they try to regain some of their lost momentum. Despite their recent setbacks, the Dallas crew have looked respectable in regards to offense. It's their defense that has primarily let them down lately but even that isn't as subpar as their opponents' defensive issues.

The Pistons, meanwhile, are in dire straits at this point and have lost their past four home game which doesn't bode well for tonight. Between their struggle to consistently display good offense and poor defense, their season has been incredibly rough thus far. Even with their defense issues of late, the Mavericks should be able to pick up a second consecutive win tonight.

Prediction: Mavericks -8 (-110)
