This game will be about offense and the home team doesn't have any! The Dallas Mavericks are 58-25 ATS in their last 83 road games and have been great again this season, with a 9-4 straight up record at home and on the road. They are tops in the NBA in scoring. Tuesday's 107-87 victory in New York required little from the starting five. Dirk Nowitzki had 16 points, while Monta Ellis scored 14 and was the only Dallas player to reach 26 minutes. The Mavericks have won five straight and 10 of 11 against the Pistons. Detroit is a mess everywhere at #29 in scoring and #18 in points allowed. The Pistons haven't won a home game since the second week of the season, dropping 10 straight. They're also 0-7 at home against the Western Conference, while Dallas is 7-0 in visits to the East with 11 straight wins dating to last season. The value is with the visitors to win the game, so take Dallas on the moneyline.
