Portland at Detroit 7:00 ET
Pistons (+) over Trailblazers- One of the problems with this Blazers team is their incentive to play hard on a consistent basis. In their last outing against Toronto they (Portland) surrendered 74 first-half points and then held the Raptors to 10 third quarter points. See, boys you can do it, if you try, but...they don't always try so much. Portland is 7-15 ATS in their last 22 road games against teams with losing records and are 1-7-1 ATS in the last nine meetings including 0-4 ATS in Detroit. Pistons playing better of late going 5-2 ATS and 5-2 ATS as underdogs. Take DETROIT!
