The set-up: Portland has won three straight on the road. Detroit is just 8-13 at home, so the Blazers have a big opportunity to extend that streak here. The Blazers haven't played since Sunday, when they hammered they beat the Raptors 122-117. Detroit enters off a win over Toronto as well by a score of 129-105. The Pistons have won all three vs. the Raptors this year.

The pick: But Detroit's only won back-to-back games twice all year. The Pistons only average 107.2 PPG this season and it's failed to reach the 100-point plateau in 12 games already this year. I don't trust Detroit's offense, and there's not going to be a need for the Blazers to push the pace either. Finally note that the Blazers have seen the total go "under" in eight of their last 11 road games following a SU/ATS road victory in which they scored 120 or more points in. This number is a little high.

This is a 10* TOTAL COACHS CORNER on the UNDER Blazers/Pistons.
