Phoenix is having a great year. But this is a flat spot for the Suns sandwiched around games against Golden State. The Suns returned home from a four-game road trip and defeated the Warriors this past Tuesday.

Following this game, the Suns travel to Golden State for a rematch against the Warriors on Friday. That's the game they are pointing to.

The Suns won't have their leading scorer, Devin Booker. He suffered a hamstring injury and will be out several games.

The Pistons have lost seven in a row. They are a young team and they play hard. Detroit has covered four of its last six. The Pistons often are undervalued. That's the case here given that the Suns will be minus Booker and are in a letdown/lookahead spot.
