Detroit (22-15) at Oklahoma City (7-33)
10 stacks Game of the Season
Detroit Pistons -3.5 @ 5dimes
Detroit has begun to run a 3 guard offense. This is very uncommon in the NBA because it usually means you have a smaller line up on the floor chasing defensive mismatches.If this was any other team I would stay this is a mistake on Detroit's end but in actuality this is not a bad idea. The Pistons play excellent team defense allowing opponents to score only 92 points a night. This new offense allow more scoring in the offense. This 3 guard set also opens up the court for Iverson and Stuckey to create off the dribble. These two guards combine for almost 40 points in the last 5 games. The Thunder are the worst team in the NBA, this will be a great chance for Detroit to master their new offense. I expect Detriot to put up 100 points, while blowing out the Thunder by double digits! Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings
