*8* TOTAL SURE SHOT on UNDER Pistons/Bucks.

Neither the Detroit Pistons or the Milwaukee Bucks have played particularly good basketball of late. The Pistons have just two wins over their last seven games and the Bucks have lost five of their last six. I think we'll see a tight low-scoring contest when they clash at BMO Harris Bradley Center Monday night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Detroit's Offense - The Pistons are the fifft worst team in the NBA foir points scored this season with an average of only 97.0 per game. They lost 97-95 to the Wizards Saturday when Andre Drummond was held to only eight points with only a total of six shot attempts from the field.

2. Andre Drummond - While Drummond might have struggled offensively against the Wizards, he sure pulled his weight in defense with 13 defensive boards. Detroit is among the worst teams in the league for rebounds and Drummond averaged 11.8 rebounds in Detroit's four meetings with Milwaukee last season.

3. X-Factor - Detroit has the worst free throw percentage in the league with just 66.5.

Selection: This is a play on DET@MIL to go UNDER the total (8*)
