The Cavs have stayed hot coming out of the All Star break, with consecutive double-digit wins on the road at Washington and New York. Both those teams have been slumping though, and Cleveland is in Detroit tonight to take on a surging Pistons team. The visitors appear to be overvalued as a significant favorite.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Home Cookin' - The Pistons have won five of their last seven at the Palace, and their two losses during that span both came in the second game of a back-to back situation. They've covered the spread in eight of their last 10 home games.
2. Previous History - The Pistons have been a good bet in previous meetings with Cleveland, covering the spread in 10 of the last 13 head to head meetings.
3. X-Factor - Newcomer Reggie Jackson was a little nervous in his Piston's debut, missing his first eight shots. He went on to hit seven of his next 10, finishing with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the win over the Wizards on Sunday.
Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Pistons(10*)
