Portland at Detroit

This is a mismatch anyway you cut it. You have the Pistons who are easily one of the top three teams in the league right now (with Ginobli out in San Antonio, I say they are #1), and the lowly Blazers who are green and about three years away from contention on any level. Portland played a dissinterested Pistons team tough the first go around this season, but I do not see how this young team can hang this time around. The line has been moving down due to the Pistons winning a close road game last night, but if they show up at all, this will be over before it starts. Detroit takes care of business at home against bad teams. The Pistons are 16-5 ATS at home vs. horrible offensive teams (<88 PPG) since '96. This line seems off by 5+ points as you could argue the Pistons should be much larger favorites. Two stars on the Pistons.
