Paolo Banchero is projected to score 21.9 points against the Pistons and is favored to go over 20.5 points. He has scored 29 points after a two-game absence, which is a good sign after struggling after the All-Star break. Bet on him to start a run of scoring at least 21 points in the next few games.

Franz Wagner, meanwhile, is favored to go over 19.5 points, which is a surprise. He has been quiet in the past few games and is less aggressive on offense. Bur bet on Wagner to break out of his scoring funk against the nine-win Pistons team.
