The Coach's NBA Wednesday Night SLAUGHTERHOUSE
(NBA) New York vs. Detroit,
Point Spread: 4.00 | -105.00 New York (Away)
Result: Win
The Detroit Pistons are still in search of their first victory after opening the season with three straight losses to Denver, Minnesota and Brooklyn. They host the Knicks tonight, and I like the visitors getting a handful of points.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin'? - The Pistons lost their only home game so far to Brooklyn by a score of 102-90. They have failed to cover in seven straight at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

2. Carmelo Anthony - He is off to a slow start, but in three games versus the Pistons last season he averaged 29 points on better than 49% shooting.

3. X-Factor - The Knicks have won won eight of the last 10 meetings with Detroit outright, going 8-2 ATS in those games.

Selection: This is a play on the New York Knicks (8*)
