While I think San Antonio is laying too much, I don't see that here. First off all, we are laying big points on the HOME team here. Second of all, Detroit comes into this one off an embarrasing loss at Toronto in which they lost the game outright as a -8.5 favorite. Now the get the worst team in the league that is in turmoil and absolutely can't wait for this disasterous season to be over. New York put together a string of 3 surprising wins in early April but they have since dropped three straight and they lost nine straight before that. Their last loss was by 17 points to Milwaukee. Detroit can easily cover this spread with their eyes closed. Detroit still wants to stick it to Larry Brown and they are revenging another very embarrasing loss here. Detroit actually lost to New York and Larry Brown on March 17th. They were 9.5 point favorites in that one. Think that stung? Think they really want this one? I sure do. Pistons in a rout.
