Pistons a bad bet, but Celtics terrible against Detroit

The Detroit Pistons hold the fifth worst record against the spread in the NBA this season, 32-42-1. However, for as bad as the Pistons have been they've always been able to capitalize for bettors against Boston.

The Boston Celtics are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight against the Pistons and are an embarrassing 0-5 ATS in their last five in the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The home team also holds ATS dominance in the series, going 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings.

Detroit are 5.5-point home favs for their contest against Boston Saturday.


Don't expect offensive magic between Wizards/Bulls

In what could very well be a first round playoff preview, the Chicago Bulls will travel to Washington to challenge the Wizards Saturday.

The Bulls No.2 ranked defense has caused more under games than any other team in the NBA this season. The Wizards have also gone under in five of their past six at home. The overall series totals also trend toward the under as 20 of the past 26 games have gone under the total.

In the two meetings between Chicago and Washington this year, they have averaged 189.5 ppg combined and have gone over in both accounts. The two games so far this season have had ending totals of 180.5 and 186.5.

Opening line for the Bulls and Wizards is 183.5.
