(NBA) Detroit vs. Washington,
Point Spread: 6.50 | -110.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Detroit Pistons.

Detroit has already foiled me twice this year, two late collapses which saw it unable to cover the spread. The Pistons have yet to cover the spread once yet this year but I think can finally keep this one close enough to at the very least sneak in through the back door down the stretch with that I feel is a healthy amount of points that they've been afforded in this one. The Wizards are off to a great start, but note that they haven't won six of their first eight games since 1975. Note that these teams split the four-game series last year. Washington has been getting the job done defensively, meaning that Detroit needs to up its game here; the Pistons averaged 101 PPG last year, but rank 29th in the NBA with 91.9 this season. In fact, Detroit and New York are the only two teams left to yet score 100 points in a game this year; suffice it to say, I think that trend ends today, as the Pistons last went eight games without scoring 100 points in 2011. From a trend based standpoint, this is definitely a sound wager, note that Detroit is 15-10 ATS in its last 25 as a road dog in the 6.5 to 9 points range, while Washington is just 6-7 ATS in its last 13 when playing with three or more days of rest. Grab as many points as you can with the PISTONS.
