After winning three of four on their road trip, the San Antonio Spurs look to start their homestand with a win against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.

The Spurs are coming off consecutive wins over the LA Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center and scored 138 in the latter matchup on 18-for-39 shooting from the outside. Keita Bates-Diop had the game of his life against the Lakers, scoring 30 points on a perfect 11-of-11 shooting in San Antonio's blowout win.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons are just 5-26 and have won only once since November 17th. Still, they had a near comeback win against Miami behind 28 points from former Spur Trey Lyles on Thursday. They're expected to be short-handed, with an extended list of players out for health and safety protocols while Jerami Grant is still out with a thumb injury. Others missing the game will include Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes, and Isaiah Stewart.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Pistons Prediction

On paper, anything other than a blowout for the Spurs would be a disappointment. Still, no NBA team is just going to lay down and die, and no professional team exists without some pride. The Pistons were already bad before being stricken with a COVID-19 outbreak, so San Antonio shouldn't struggle too much to put this team away. Then again, I've thought that with some previous matchups.

I think the Pistons stay in this one for a half, but the Spurs' superior talent should prove too much in the second.
