T.M. Selection: Pistons/Magic OVER.

I am on the over in the Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic game on Thursday. Neither of these teams play good defense in their games this year and these are also 2 of the worst teams in the league this year. The Pistons just played in a game where they did not put up 100+ points in the game but this hasn't been common for them lately since they have put up 100+ points in 11 games in a row before that most recent game. They have been terrible on defense in their games too, giving up 100+ points in 28 games in a row and a majority of those games they have been giving up 110+ points in. I think there is going to be a lot of points here due to the lack of defense from both teams and I expect the Magic to control the game more on their home court here. The Magic have been in a ton of high scoring games lately and they have put up 100+ points themselves in 4 games in a row. They just gave up 150 points to the Nets in their most recent game too and their previous 3 games they have given up 110+ points in all 3. I think this is a game where both teams think they can win here so both are going to keep shooting and putting up points trying to take the lead from the other. The defensive effort is minimal from both teams and I don't expect them to start playing defense well in this game. I think both teams are going to put up a ton of points on each other as both desperately search for as many wins as they can get before the year ends. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 118-112 Magic.
