Oklahoma City at Detroit

Seattle managed a rare road victory, in OT at Minnesota on Sunday. It was just their sixth road victory this season. Detroit has 22 home wins (to 5 losses) and they are holding foes to 87.1 ppg here. On the season, they are keeping opponents to a full 9 ppg less than their scoring average. If that holds tonight, the Sonics, will score in the mid 80s for the game. We like the Pistons to come out and set the tempo defensively. They are holding opponents to 43.5 per game in the first half. Against the young Sonics, we wouldn't be surprised to see a sub-40 performance tonight. The question is how many Detroit will score. We see somewhere in the 50s and thus, we like the first-half UNDER here a lot. Seattle is 34-23 UNDER in the first half this season including 31-19 as an underdog. They are 9-1 UNDER following a game in which they scored 105+ points and 11-3 UNDER off a win. They are also 21-10 UNDER this season vs. winning teams. We'll go with the first-half UNDER here.
