ASA NBA Situational Slam
(NBA) Detroit vs. New York,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -106.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Loss
ASA play on 8* Detroit Pistons +7 over New York Knicks, 7:40 PM ET - NBA scoring is trending up right now, yet this game has an extremely low total of 207 which means limited scoring from each team. That makes the Pistons a “buy” with this generous numbers. Are the Knicks ready to lay this type of number? We don’t think so. The Knicks are 1-6 ATS as a -7 or more favorite this season and have an overall +/- of -1.5PPG on the season. Looking at the Pistons last three games as double-digit dogs we find they were against much better teams at Indiana, Phoenix and the Lakers. The Pistons are coming off a much-needed win over the Heat but had lost 14 straight prior to that W but half of those losses were by 10-points or less. The Knicks are on an 8-16 SU their last 24 games and shouldn’t be laying this many points against the young Pistons.
