YTD: 81-56-1
Wont be around tomorrow morning Oz time for this game but posting now. I expect the Pistons to be completely focused in this game as this is a key game for them to try and lock down a playoff spot before they head out to play Indy in a double header starting off Indy and then back to Detroit. The Blazers have survived so far without Nurkic against the Bulls and Hawks, 2 teams that really aren't know for defense. They face Drummond in the middle for this game which will be licking his chops facing Kanter. The Blazers are starting this game less than 24 hours after beating the Hawks but I think this is a horrible spot for them tomorrow on a B2B. They have 2 easier games to win coming up against Minny and then Grizzlies so I wouldn't be surprised to see Stotts limit minutes in this game and focus on those other 2 non playoff teams. Pistons were winning this previous fixture until a complete meltdown with about 4 minutes left and the Blazers took over. The Pistons are 15-0 S/U as a home fav against teams on B2B's this season and last and I expect that trend to continue and for them to cover this line.
