The Portland Trail Blazers took a heartbreaking 97-96 loss to Boston due to Al Horford's buzzer-beating shot on Sunday. Tough spot to bounce back here, playing on no rest against a re-energized Detroit Pistons team which has won the first three games of a six-game homestand since acquiring Blake Griffin from the LA Clippers. Prior to the Griffin trade, the Pistons lost eight straight but they're now just a half-game behind Philadelphia for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference.

Home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings and Detroit has covered the spread in each of the last four encounters with Portland.

My selection is an 8* play on Detroit Pistons.
