Miami at Detroit

The Detroit Pistons are a half-court team, and if this one is going to top the total Miami is going to have to do a lot of scoring. Miami is a very good defensive team, and a few short weeks ago these teams combined for a total of 175 points in Miami. I’m not sure what has changed since then, but I believe this total is a bit inflated. The Pistons have played their last 20 as a dog from +5-+10.5 to a 14-6 mark to the UNDER as they obviously have trouble scoring vs. the better teams. The Heat has had the same effect on losing teams where four of their last five vs. a team below .500 have failed to reach the total. I’ve got the UNDER.
