This is not last year's Pistons team. They are scoring at will and their defense has been relatively slack. At home the Pistons are pouring in nearly 107 points per game! Their defense is still good but not exceptional. Against good shooting teams (46%+), Orlando is 18-7 OVER the last 3 seasons. Orlando hasn't played since Dec 30th of last year and games with a total between 180 and 189.5 points with a team playing with 3 or more days rest off a win are 91-50 (65%) OVER over the last 5 seasons. I expect this one to sail into the 190s and maybe reach 200. Three stars OVER.
