Nets/Pistons *HARDWOOD HAMMER*
(NBA) Brooklyn vs. Detroit,
Total: 213.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
Play: Under
Rating: 8/10*

The Detroit Pistons will host the Brooklyn Nets Thursday night and I predict a relatively low-scoring affair, just like when the Nets won 98-96 at Brooklyn earlier this month.

The Pistons have dropped five in a row and eight of their last nine games. They've topped 100 points in only contest during that span, a 112-95 victory over Phoenix. Under is 7-1 in the Pistons last eight overall and here they'll host a Nets team that has seen four of its last five games go under the total.

The Pistons are desperate for a win, but they can't rely on their offense to get the job done so I expect them to turn up the heat on the defensive end of the court instead. Let's go with the under.
