The Pistons were 27-55 last season despite dealing with a lot of injuries and the poor performances of Ben Gordon & Charlie Villanueva.  For the Pistons to improve this year they need Tayshaun Prince & Richard Hamilton to both stay healthy.  They also need Villanueva & Gordon to step up and earn their paycheck this year.  The Pistons are still not a good team and I would have to side with making a bet on the under.  The Pistons are 150-1 to win the NBA Championship and I don’t even think any of the parents of these players would make a bet on that.

The Detroit Pistons will likely be a fun team to watch because of the offense they have added in the off-season. But, they seem to be a team that will be around .500 so this is a hard bet to consider either way. With a rookie head coach working for the Pistons this season I would side with the under but I wouldn’t bet my house on it due to all of the veteran players on the Pistons who are used to winning.
