My 8* TOTAL SLAM-DUNK is on the under between Detroit and Dallas at 8:30 EST. Detroit is a decent basketball team this year, and if you underestimate Cade Cunningham and the company, you're likely going to lose. After two straight losses, the 39-31 Pistons enter having won two straight. The Pistons have been great on the road this season as well with a 21-15 away record this season. Dallas is 33-37 overall and 19-16 at home, but the Mavericks have not been the same since the Luka Doncic trade. Dallas also continues to deal with several key injury issues. The Mavericks have lost four in a row and they've seen the total go over the number in six straight. They also play with revenge here following a 117-102 loss at Detroit at the end of January. The total in that contest stayed below the posted number, and I believe that everything points to a similar final combined score here as well. This number is a little high in my opinion, so the play is the under.
