Brooklyn at Detroit

The Detroit Pistons are green and growing fast, and I would not want to meet this team in the playoffs. This is a 14-win team from a year ago that is 33-26 this season and in 5th place in the NBA East. They will take on Brooklyn at home tonight. Brooklyn is a team that is not very talented, and they play at a slow pace by NBA standards, and that, and poor shooting, has led them to a 33-25 mark to the under on the season and in their last 14 games, the Nets are 11-3 to the under. The Pistons are UNDER 5-3 in their previous eight games. The eye-opener in those eight games was that they held each Boston and the LA Clippers to 97 points. I like this one to play UNDER the total.
