Detroit is the much better team here, and with the spread only at 3.5 it is obviously raising some doubts.  Some trends to look at here is the famous CK trend of a team coming off a nationally televised game usually struggles.  However, that game was on Wednesday night, so the Pistons have had plenty of time to recover and focus on this one here tonight.  Could be a little bit of a look-ahead game as the Pistons head back home to take on the Suns tomorrow night.  The way I see this game going is the Pistons jumping out to a big lead and then going into cruise control for the 2nd half.  Could be a backdoor cover if the Wizards are able to get some home crowd momentum going in the 4th quarter.

Detroit  -1.5   First Half

Washington just beat Orlando and Miami. Following his best offensive game since a long injury absence, Caron Butler will see if he can build off the performance when he faces one of the league's top defensive teams. Second on the Wizards (35-33) with 20.9 points per game, Butler missed 16 consecutive games from Feb. 6-March 11 with a strained hip flexor. In his first four games back, he averaged 14.5 points on 35.1 percent shooting, but Butler broke out Friday night in a matchup against lowly Miami. The All-Star forward scored 25 points on 9-of-12 shooting, hitting three 3-pointers, and added six assists as Washington beat the Heat 103-86. He had 16 points in the first half, helping the Wizards build a 52-39 lead. He is averaging 22.8 points in his last eight games against the Pistons (49-19), and Washington has gone 5-3. Butler scored 22 points on Jan. 2 in a 106-93 home loss to Detroit in the only meeting this season.
 
While the Pistons are likely to finish second in the Eastern Conference, the Wizards are clinging to fifth place with a half-game lead on Toronto. After Sunday's home game, Washington begins a five-game road trip through the end of March. They are in a must win tonight! They have more to lose than Detroit. They will be fighting all the way. They need all the help they can get before embarking on that 5-game road trip. Washington faces a Detroit team which is holding opponents to 90.8 points per game this season to rank among the league leaders. The Pistons are 27-4 this season when not limiting the opposition under 90 points, but one of those defeats came in their most recent game in an 89-73 loss to Cleveland on Wednesday. The Pistons scored their second-fewest points of the season and shot just 39.7 percent from the field after scoring 136 points on 60.4 percent shooting the previous night in a win over Denver. The Pistons led by three at the end of the first quarter, but scored just 13 points in the second to trail 45-38 at the half. Rasheed Wallace led Detroit with 16 points but went 6-of-17 from the field, and Chauncey Billups was held to 10 points on 4-of-12 shooting. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak, which included wins over San Antonio and New Orleans.
 
What does all this mean? To me.... Washington is in a must win at home, before a long road trip and will play much harder than Detroit at home.
 
Washington +5.5 at home

hei man.look at this
dalas -3,5 maney line 100-200 means spures cover

torronto -2.5 maney line 100-200 means toronto -3 or more

because the line is less for home

so  -5,5 to home team mens  away team to cover

so now detroit is away team  with -5,5

I am not sure but i think on detroit -5

I belive in u WiseGuy702 

the spread here are  5.5 is to much for a team that the maney line is 200- 300 and playing away .

200 -300 means -6 in my analise  and is datroit would win the spead sould be  -4 


So WIZARDS +5,5 is the way for the maney

Washington +1.5 1stQ
 
Detroit usually comes out slow on the road against a worthy opponent. I like Washington too set and keep the pace in this one anyway.

I took action on both sides of the spread.  And given that half point, we know that these points won't push.

I my heart of hearts, however, I am hopeful that the Bullets can "pistol" the Pistons.  GL

    Some asshole came in here and started talking shit about his wife and pissed CK off, he then got put in the penalty box, then banned.  It sucks, but I talk to him on the phone daily so it don't mean shit to me.

    he was a great read, had some great info
     
    I disagree about his 3 point buy method, but he followed the Association closely and had some great insight

    Good analysis Kong.  I agree that this was too many damn points to be giving the home team, in this match.  Hopefully that statement won't come back to bite me/most of the rest of y'all in the ass.  Enjoy the rest of the show folks.  Cheers.
