What might look like an under on the surface is really an over tonight in Miami when the Heat host the Pistons.
As far as total applications these two have change character based on their most recent team trends.
In this once classic series, the under has won out in eight straight on the board. In fact, Detroit is 19-7 Under on Thursday and 11-2 Under on the road of late. Miami is 10-1 Under over their last 11 vs. the Central Division.
Interesting too is the Heat are playing without Shaquille O'Neal and the Pistons lost #8 to the Bulls in free agency. Normally, this would appear to be a classic short number. But the Pistons are on a 6-game winning streak and are shooting lights out. Also, Miami expects to have James Posey back in the lineup for this encounter.
Current reality has the Pistons going over in four of their last five while Miami is also over in four of their last five. Look for a high scoring game this time out.
