Are you betting on the Pacers or the Pistons? (AI Wire Images)

The only sure thing tonight in Detroit is one team's losing skid will end when the Pistons look to bounce back from a loss to the Eastern Conference's worst club and notch their eighth straight win over the Indiana Pacers.

Indiana has won just once in its last seven games but that is understandable if you consider the schedule they have had. The Pacers had a stretch of games where they played four straight games versus the best teams in the NBA.

Considering the Pacers have lost seven in a row to Detroit, you would figure the odds are stacked against them tonight. But the Pistons have dropped three straight for the first time since January including a 107-94 loss to a Wizards team which entered with a 3-15 record.

The Pacers have dropped four straight in Auburn Hills, including a 100-94 loss on Oct. 29 despite getting 33 points from Danny Granger.
