After inconsistent defensive showing by Dallas Mavericks they have settled down in last 2 home games holding opponents below 90 points, 40 points and now 4-0 when holding opponents under 90 points and 3-0 when holding opponents shooting below 40%.
Detroit doing the Texas Shuffle knocking off the Rockets in the first leg, showing they still have the defense to go head to head with any defensive oriented team. I give the Mavericks the home edge with Pistons on back to back road game, but I also understand even if Pistons are off they can keep their opponents off too.
Crunching the numbers I was looking at 183 and the line opened at 187.
I was getting ready to hit the Under, but I stopped myself.
I watched this Total get pounded Under and considered the argument for Over.
By nature of Mavs style to explode is still there and Detroit offense is clearly shining this season. Mavs may have played possum against the Hawks, giving just enough to beat the weaker opponents. Look what happened when Spurs played at American Airlines Center, they bring their game against the winning teams. Pistons played a off game in terms of putting up the numbers that can turn around in a hurry.

Fade the public. Let's go with PISTONS/MAVERICKS OVER 185 at -105 for 2 units(W)
