Official NBA Play
Detroit +2.5 -110
If Detroit wasn't talking like they are confused about their goals and about each other willingness to do what it take to win....then I would LOVE this play for multiple units. But since there is mumbling of players doubting each other I won't put more than a unit on this. Detroit is the leagues best offensive rebounding team and the Knicks Chandler is doubtful which means NYK are going to have serious issues here. Also, Melo is their next best rebounder, but if he has to exert himself on the D-Boards AND defensively guarding Josh Smith then he won't be able to go 110% on offense like usual. Plus I like Josh Smith guarding him straight up as well because Melo won't be able to muscle Smith like he does most other 3's. ALSO the NYK play the Heat their next game so that always helps. Might add another unit later, but either way get on Detroit now!
