Wed November 19th ‘08 7:35p - Click Here for More NBA Picks
The Under is a remarkable 25-6 in the last 31 meetings between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons, and the fact that both teams have good Over records this season has inflated this total to the point where the Under looks to have great value.
These teams went Under in all four meetings last season, with the average combined total score in those games being an extremely low 164.8 points! In fact, only one of the last 11 meetings has exceeded 183 points, and even that game went into overtime and was at only 182 points at the end of regulation time.
Sur the Cavaliers are scoring more points this season, but their defense is still allowing only 92.5 points per game on 42.3 percent shooting, and that figure even drops slightly to 90.8 points on the road. Cleveland has allowed 100 points just once during their current eight-game winning streak, allowing only 91.1 points per game in the other seven contests.

The Pistons are playing their first home game after a four-game Western road trip, a situation where the home team often comes up flat. Looking specifically at Detroit, their games have averaged just 187.6 points when returning home after a road trip of four or more games since the 2000-01 season.
Despite the fact that both clubs are playing more up-tempo this year, we feel compelled to play the Under here with the posted total set nearly 30 points higher than the average total score in all their meetings last season.
