Result:
LOSS

This is quite a low number for a basketball game, though Detroit has been known for their wonderful defense this year and in years past. With a closer look though, one may start to realize just how low this number actually is. This will be New Jersey's lowest over/under in any of their away games this year and it is the second lowest over/under for any of Detroit's home games. Why is this? It's not as these teams lack offensive power as seen in Portland @ Charlotte. At home, Detroit is averaging over 100ppg which is surely a reason they are 15-8-1 OVER this year (at home).  New Jersey is scoring around 94ppg this year, they have scored around this number in their past 5 games, and have scored around this number in away games this year. In short, they put points on the board consistently. This game could be a defensive struggle at times, but in the end I like the total to be over 180 points. Two stars on the OVER.
