(NBA) Cleveland vs. Detroit,
Point Spread: 4.50 | -110.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Loss
I'm taking the points with the Pistons on Friday. Detroit had their chances in game one, which included a seven-point lead early in the fourth quarter and a small, three-point deficit with just over two minutes to go before falling 106-101. They led by a basket midway through the third quarter of game two, but then went silent, not scoring a single point for three minutes and scoring a total of just six points over an eight-minute span from the late stages of the third quarter through the first few minutes of the fourth. I expect different results at home. Detroit is actually 12-3 ATS at home and in revenge of a double digit loss. I like the fact Detroit is playing a physical series, they just need to get out on the perimeter quicker, which I believe they'll do here tonight.
