ASA top play on 10* OVER 234 Indiana Pacers at Detroit Pistons, 7:10 PM ET - Looking back at last season’s meetings between these two teams we see the O/U’s set were 235.5, 247.5, 247.5 and 246. Three of the four games went Over the total with the four games averaging 243PPG. Neither team will play any defense here as the Pistons ranked 26th in Defensive Efficiency allowing 1.190-points per possession. Indiana wasn’t much better, ranking 24th in DEFF allowing 1.181PPP. Detroit averaged less than 1.000 points per possession a year ago but scored points with a higher volume of field goal attempts and a faster pace of play. Detroit was 8th in pace and preferred to play with tempo. That’s not a good recipe against the Pacers who were 2nd in pace, scored 123.3PPG with the second-best Offensive Efficiency rating of 1.211PPP. Detroit should be more efficient offensively with the offseason acquisitions of Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr and Malik Beasley. We like this game OVER the total.
