๐ฐ Pistons win total prediction
Here's why our NBA expert Corey Scott expects the Pistons to finish Over 45.5 wins as one of his NBA win total predictions for the 2025-26 season:
⬆️ Over 45.5 wins
Cade Cunningham has the seventh-shortest NBA MVP odds and is coming off a breakout fourth season, averaging career highs in points (26.1), assists (9.1), and field-goal percentage (46.9%). While itโs unlikely the Pistons will bring back Malik Beasley, they will have Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson coming off the bench, backing up an improving starting lineup with four players under 25. Iโm betting the Pistons will continue to improve after winning 44 games last season.
โ Prediction: Over 45.5 wins (-104 via FanDuel)
๐ฎ Best Pistons futures bet
Here's why our NBA expert Liam Fox is betting on Ausar Thompson to lead the NBA in steals as one of his best NBA futures bets for the 2025-26 season:
🏅 Ausar Thompson to lead NBA in steals
Ausar Thompson ranked sixth in steals per game a season ago and has a 14.29% chance to do that again this year according to these +600 odds. While the talented defender is dealing at +1400 by the latest NBA Defensive Player of the Year odds, this is the more worthwhile wager for the Pistons wing - his brother is the better bet in the DPOY market.
