Indiana at Detroit

The Detroit Pistons look like a team turning the corner, and only the upstart Boston Celtics have a better record at this point. The Pistons have won five of their last six and come into this game well rested, having had three days off. That should be a huge advantage over an Indiana team that played at home last night, and have to travel to play unrested. A home team on three days rest vs. an unrested opponent has been 19-9 ATS in the last 28 occurrences. The Pacers have had real issues on the defensive end of the court as they have allowed an average of 113.3 points per game in their last four games, and each of those four opponents have blistered the net at over 50%. That is certainly not a winning resume, and playing without rest. They have allowed 111 ppg this season on no rest, so this is a strong opportunity for Detroit tonight. Lay the points and play on Detroit.
