Dallas at Detroit

It's not very often you get the ex-world champs for under 6 points at home. The reason is that that Detroit plays the Mavericks whom they lost to by an embarassing 30+ points last time around getting their first loss as they were 8-0 heading into that game. And Detroit comes off a rare home loss (just the third all year as their home record is now 30-3). These facts are not reasons to fade the Pistons but rather to back them as they look to take it to the Mavs as they had it handed to them back in November. Thus, compound this with the fact that the Mavericks are resting key guard reserve Devin Harris as well as starter Josh Howard for the playoffs, this helps the Pistons in the shortened bench for the Mavs. The once world champs are the team to back with revenge and home court on their side.
