Little-known fact: Road teams that win Game 1
of an NBA Playoff series straight-up are
1-6 ATS in Game 2 since the beginning of last
season. The average result in this situation has
been a cover by the home team by 12.2 points
better than the spread.
That's too strong a tide to swim against.
Pistons shot poorly in Game 1 -- less than 40%
from the field. And only 67% from the free-throw
line. Odds are that they improve those numbers
tonight
