Arguably the 2 best defenses in the league meet tonight. A natural UNDER. Tough to see both of these 2 breaking 80. Detroit has not had much success against the West elite.
From Covers:
Right now, the Pistons are labeled as "offensively challenged," as demonstrated during Tuesday's 82-81 upset loss to the Hornets. Detroit sits at 22nd in the NBA in scoring at 90 points per contest. Defense, on the other hand, is where the Pistons are Vikings. They lead the league with a measly 84.6 points allowed per game, a number that has dipped to 73.6 since Rasheed's arrival.
The Spurs don't exactly light up the scoreboard, either. They're 18th in offense at 91.2 points a night, but second in defense behind Detroit at 85.1 points allowed per game. The under is 40-30 for San Antonio and a bankroll-swelling 43-27 for the Pistons, cashing in the last nine times in a row.
San Antonio won and covered its last five meetings with Detroit before this season. That changed on Jan. 19, when the Pistons beat the Spurs 85-77 as 2-point home faves. The two clubs skimmed below the total by 8 1/2 points.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Solid points, i hope you are wrong tonight for my sake, but you will probably be right.
