The Rockets come in at 8-5 and have won three of their last four, during a homestand against teams they were forecasted to beat.

The Pistons have lost their last three, most recently a 94-92 bitter defeat at home against the Boston Celtics. Despite a sub-.500 record on the year, the Pistons are 5-1 at home this season.

Houston Rockets at Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Pistons are a different basketball team when they are at home. The Pistons own wins over Oklahoma City, Denver, Milwaukee, New York and Orlando by considerable margins, as their average margin of victory in these contests is above 14 points. Houston’s defense has always been the issue with the Rockets and the Pistons will look to see if there are any improvements. The Pistons offense has managed to proliferate more than 103 points in eight of their last ten games even an injury to their key point man Reggie Jackson. The Pistons have made their front court much stronger since losing Greg Monroe to Milwaukee in the acquisition of forwards Tobias Harris and Marcus Morris. Lest us also forget Detroit has a beast at the five position in Andre Drummond who could be good for 20 and 10 on any given night. Detroit will likely outmuscle the Rockets who have no one to combat this trio up front. We suspect this meeting will be settled by less points than many anticipate as both squads will be focused on limiting offensive production.
