Result:
LOSS

The Detroit Pistons are a bad team that got exceptionally hot for awhile, and have now become an over-rated team. This was a 5-23 team a month ago, so what would the line be then? Orlando is certainly not a good team, but what they have been able to do is compete at a competitive level. They have had streaks of covering that reached seven and another where they covered seven of eight, and for the most part have been under-valued. They come into this game with a motive as they lost to Detroit by 23 at home earlier in the season. They have done a great job on the road at 5-1 ATS in their last six. The Pistons have had little home court advantage where they are a dismal 16-36 ATS here in their last 52, including 4-12 ATS vs. a team with a losing road record. Take the points on Orlando.
