    Anyone Got Any Love For The Pistons Tonight?

    I've been looking at this game and I really want to take Detroit. Only thing I'm worried about is that they are coming off a big win against the Lakers, and the Hawks are coming off a disappointing loss to the Heat.

    However, Detroit has been taking care of business in the Palace. They are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games. IMO the status of Joe Johnson doesn't change too much. Josh Smith also requested a trade just a couple of days ago, I'd have to imagine his mind may not be in the game, and the team could be a bit distracted.

    Line has moved from -2 to -1 with nearly 75% on ATL and Detroit is being juiced up.

    Thoughts on this game.

    I liked ATL earlier mostly becasue of DET coming off of the big OT win and being complacent, but will prob lay off this one. Its hard enough to predict ATL's effort level in normal circumstances, nevermind amid trade rumors and an injured roster.

    Yeah the Hawks and Magic are probably the two hardest teams to predict how they'll come out. IMO this could be a bad spot for the Hawks. They are one lazy team to put it bluntly. And the Pistons are an easy team to over look.

    Pistons have been covering a ton of first halves lately too. Might be worth a 1H play.

    Put the Pistons in a 6 team parlay. I bet Hawks will kill that.

    Teams typically don't cover when they get a star player back from injury.

    Lucky it is a star scrub returning and not an actual star.

    Pistons in line to cover as long as they don't meltdown in the 4th.

    I think I may have been the only one on SBR on the Pistons, but high five to anyone else who was on them.
