The Detroit Pistons haven't let off the gas in weeks. Detroit claimed its 12th straight victory by snapping a long-term losing streak against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, when previously injured Tobias Harris and Jaden Ivey combined for 28 points. Motor City will attempt to tie a franchise record for consecutive wins when the Indiana Pacers host the Pistons at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday at 7 p.m. EST.
The Pistons could not have drawn a more favorable road game in which to try for a lucky 13. The Pacers are a shell of what they were last postseason, sitting at 2-14 and second-from-last place in the Eastern Conference ahead of the tanking Washington Wizards. Indiana has lost nine of its last 10 encounters.
Indiana will try to take revenge for Detroit's 127-122 victory in the teams' first meeting of 2025-26, which the Pistons won in spite of a depleted lineup that did not feature Harris, Ivey, or Cade Cunningham. Detroit's sharpshooters outshot Indiana 54.5% to 41.7% from the field, scoring 30 points off turnovers.

Detroit Pistons vs Indiana Pacers Predictions and Picks
The Pistons and Pacers are headed in opposite directions, mainly because the Pistons' health meter is going up while the Pacers' injury list only grows. No less than four additional guards have joined Indiana's superstar Tyrese Haliburton on the mend. Andrew Nembhard is trying his best to carry the backcourt while Pascal Siakam carries the frontcourt, but the Pacers are shockingly thin and often ragged on defense.
Detroit was already playing good basketball despite its longer injury list in mid-autumn. Now that the club can glue its starting lineup back together, the Pistons have turned red-hot. MyKhel's hoops blog points out that while Milwaukee would have put up more resistance with a healthy Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Pistons are close to tying a record that was set in "seasons (in which) they won the NBA title."
The Pacers can't count on a rowdy host crowd to turn the tide, seeing as though many of Monday's ticket buyers will be there to watch the sizzling Pistons. Wager on Detroit as a parlay-pick or to cover the spread.
