Pistons +8.5 (got em early at 9.5 too) -
I like the Pistons minus Iverson what can I say. When Iverson is out both Rip and Stuckey have improved games. The way I look at this game: KG is down, Billups was traded away. The difference is that Stuckey is really pulling through while Boston can lay an egg without KG (ie the Clippers game). I know this game is at Boston, but the Pistons play them tough.
Also the RLM really turns me toward this game. The public is on the Celtics today. I mean who wouldn't blame them, Detroit has been on a crazy skid of late.
Atlanta +4 -
I like Atlanta at home, they are not pushovers and they like to prove themselves worthy to be in the ranks of the best NBA teams. I also like that the line hasn't moved and 80% + of action is on the Cavs. I might throw a little on the ml as well.
