darrell,

Well, officially in a slump now as we lose by a basket for second straight night. Still 17-10 over the past three weeks (48-25 on a star basis) with $100 bettors up $3,370 over that span...

Good luck , darrell!

Game: Detroit at Miami (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 stars on Miami -3

Miami is matchup up well and they get the first game in their backyard. Since game one against Cleveland, Detroit has been more out-of-synch than in-synch. The Pistons are now 1-7 ATS in their last eight games! This year they were 1-9 ATS in road games following two straight ATS losses. And, as stated here when fading the Pistons in earlier road games during the playoffs, Detroit is 18-32 ATS on the road vs. winning teams over the past two seasons. Miami is 29-14 ATS in late season plays at home vs. winning teams. The Heat scored 103 per game at home this season and Detroit's offense is struggling (85 ppg over last five games). Like the Heat to win and cover the small number here...
