Detroit Pistons vs Indiana Pacers 10/22/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Detroit Pistons will go against the Indiana Pacers in NBA action in Gainbridge Fieldhouse, IN, on Saturday, October 22, 2022, at 7:00 PM ET.

The Detroit Pistons are unbeaten so far this season and appear to be a squad with a brighter future. In the first game, Detroit beat the Magic 113-109 by combining the experience of an experienced player with their youth.

Bojan Bogdanovic, who the Pistons acquired from the Jazz in the summer, made his debut with 24 points, while Jaden Ivey and Cade Cunningham, two rookies, combined for 37 points.

The Pistons managed just 43% field goal shooting overall, 25% from beyond the arc, and just over 60% of their free throw attempts.

As one of the NBA’s younger teams, the Pistons will experience many ups and downs this season. The oldest starting by a wide margin is Bogdanovic, who is 33.

The other four starts are ages 23, 21, 21, and 20. The Pistons were effective with the basketball thus far despite their youth, with only 27 turnovers total in the two games.

They will struggle from the outside because Ivey and Cunningham may be more unpredictable from long range, while Bogdanovic is their only reliable three-point threat in their regular rotation.

The Detroit Pistons are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 matches.
The total went OVER in 6 of Detroit’s last 6 matches.
The Pistons are 1-4 SU in their previous 5 matches.

Detroit Pistons vs Indiana Pacers Predictions 10/22/2022

The Pacers are going through a rebuild right now, much like their opponent on Saturday night. The club may elect to sell big man Myles Turner this year at the trade deadline after parting ways with a handful of veterans last year.

Turner, who is still just 26 years old, would be a valuable big man for a club that wants to win a championship and would probably benefit from a change of environment.

The Pacers are 0-2 after two games due to Turner’s injury to start the season. The Pacers suffered their second consecutive home loss on Friday night as they were defeated 137-134 by the Spurs in a shootout.

The Pacers were among the worst defensive squads in the NBA last season, and early indications indicate that the Pacers may have further difficulties this season.

In terms of points surrendered per game and opponent field goal % last season, the Pacers were just 18th and 25th, respectively, in the NBA.

The Pacers gave up 55% overall field goal shooting and 54% from 3-point range to the Spurs. Turner won’t be there for at least the first week, which will severely limit the team’s ability to defend the rim.

The total went OVER in 8 of Indiana’s last 9 matches.
The Indiana Pacers are 0-10 SU in their previous 10 matches.
The Pacers are 0-7 SU in their last 7 matches at home.

Detroit Pistons vs Indiana Pacers. The NBA pick for this game is the Indiana Pacers. In games between teams with young players, consistency is never easy to find.

The Pacers have a little bit more experience, but their defense is questionable. They gave up an average of 125.5 points and more than 50% of the field goal attempts in their last two games.

The Pacers had to make ferocious comebacks in both games after getting off to sluggish starts in each. Even though they are younger than the Pacers, the Pistons have the ability to play a little bit better defense and are a bit more careful of the ball.

Cunningham, who is only in his second season, already has the look of a potential all-star and excelled at the point guard position despite having trouble getting off the ball to begin his NBA career.

Expect the Pistons to win a difficult road game by capitalizing on the Pacers’ sluggish beginnings. The Pacers will win with a predicted score of 117-112.
