Boston at Detroit

The Pistons did what most thought would be tough as they stole one in Boston, claiming the home-court advantage. That leaves Boston in a position they have not faced yet during the playoffs. They need a road win to have the final say at home. That ultimately means a turn toward defense, and with the series deadlocked at one game a piece, the defense on both ends, should take center stage in tonight's game. When the Celtics allow 100 points, they have come back to play UNDER in the next game in 38 of their last 52 or 73.1% of the time! The Pistons remain an UNDER team having cashed 17 of their last 25 to the UNDER. When we get to game three and defense is expected, games play UNDER. In this round of the playoffs, game three totals of 184 or less have cashed 13 of 17 times the past 14 years. We will play defense and back the UNDER.
