I'm playing on Det/Portland OVER the total. The Blazers can score points with the best of them. They're averaging 115 ppg on the season, 117 ppg their last five. Their problem is that they also allow a lot (115.3) of points. Yes, they're games are averaging more than 130 points. Now, the Blazers face a Detroit team which has quietly figured out how to score. The Pistons rang in the month by scoring 120 and that was a sign of things to come. In their first three games of this trip, the Pistons have scored 132, 113 and 119 points. When these teams met at the end of March, the Blazers put up 124. They'll post another big number tonight. This time, however, the Pistons will contribute more than the 101 which they scored on 3/31. The OVER is 26-9-1 the past few years, when Portland has faced a sub-500 team in the second half of the season. Expect those stats to improve tonight, as this one should produce plenty of offensive fireworks.
