The Detroit Pistons seven game winning streak came to an end at home last night in a 106-103 loss to the Hawks. Detroit will host the Brooklyn Nets tonight, who are coming off a loss to the Sixers in Philly last night. The Pistons are playing far better basketball in recent weeks, and I expect them to bounce right back here at home tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Injuries - Brooklyn PG Deron Williams is sidelined with a fractured rib, and will not play in Detroit.

2. Previous History - Nets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall, while the Pistons have covered the spread in six of their last seven overall.

3. X-Factor -The Pistons are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record.

Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Pistons (10*)
