NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Brandon Miller to go Over 18.5 Points versus the Pistons:

“Brandon Miller is coming off a season-high 29 points and 11 made field goal attempts. Over the last nine games, Miller has shot at least 16 field goal attempts in eight of those and 9 or more three-pointers.

The volume for Miller is here as he has taken command of being the No. 2 scoring option in Charlotte. Miller scored 19 points in the earlier season meeting with Detroit on 6-for-16 shooting, 3-for-11 from three, and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe.

Those efforts could be a small reflection of how he’s been playing now, so I like Miller Over 18.5 Points against the Pistons.”

Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Pistons and the Hornets:

• Moneyline: NBC Sports finds confidence in taking Detroit on the ML (-130)
• Spread: NBC Sports has strong confidence in Detroit -2 on the spread
• Total: NBC Sports has low confidence towards a play on the Total UNDER 221.5 points
