Houston at Detroit

Looks like a strong play normally but the low line is a little suspect (assuming it doesnt pop up too high) given Detroit plays decently at home.

I see this game going over... Det has been on a pretty good over run playing at home and Houston should add to the total... Ive watched a couple of their games and each time thought "how did they score that many?"... They just score silently... Im also on the H to cover tonite as well... BOL!!!

I would not touch the side - I like under 203 at this point.

I usually dont bet when teams are coming into a game after an All-Star break... not quite sure what to expect

Tough game. Maybe the over. GL

Pistons as a dog at home could be the play.

The Pistons are looking forward to a new start after the All Star Break. They open at home and take on a team a long way from home and one that doesn't play any defense. That's key as Detroit is not a tall team, stocked with small scorers. Houston is on a 1-3 SU/ATS run giving up 112, 106, 102 and 114 points. The Rockets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 3 or more days rest, while the Pistons are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 3 or more days rest. A good matchup for the struggling home team. Play the Pistons.

Yup. DET's vets and deep bench are gonna help them carry that steam they were building going into the break. HOU's young offense (and that's all they have) may still be on vacation. Can't believe DET are dogs here.

Really liking the statistics Antwon. Thanks!

Found this while looking up players to add/drop in my fantasy roster. I don't know how many teams this has affected but its showing up on some Detroit players.

Bynum missed Monday's practice due to travel related issues, the Detroit News reports.
Spin:
Numerous players throughout the league ran into weather-related travel problems when trying to return to their respective teams after the All-Star break. The Pistons haven't given any indication whether or not Bynum will return in time for Tuesday's game against the Hawks, but we expect him to be active.

tough tough call, better games on the board

Git Lo · 02-22-11, 04:55 PM

I went with Houston. There are a solid team and it appears a few Piston players haven't practiced.

Scholesy said it best, much better games on the board. Leave this game for the players close friends and family.

70% on Houston and line moved in their favor
