Game: Detroit Pistons @ Memphis Grizzlies - Tuesday December 11, 2007 8:00 pm
Detail: IC'S TUESDAY NBA PLAY OF THE DAY! Pick: 3 units (Play of the Day) TOTAL: Over 204.5 (-108)
I have been hitting the Pistons over consistently for quite some time when they hit the road and today is no different. The Pistons many feel are a great defensive team, they are - but the catch this year is that they are a more offenisve minded team as they have plenty of young blood, are not as affective defensively on the road - the Hornets game was an exception and they are taking less time between possessions as they are simply more offensive minded this year with the new blood that Dumars has brought in. The Pistons are 6-0 as road favorites and I have hit the over for the Pistons on the road trips at least 3 of those times and the over is 6-1 when the Grizzlies are home dogs and undoubtedly they will get up for this game as everyone uses this team as a measuring stick to see at what competency they are at. Memphis has lost 4 straight ballgames as they return home and they will look to get back on track as they come back home as I see both teams topping 100 today as this game should tip over as I have it at 215.

Game: Seattle Supersonics @ Chicago Bulls - Tuesday December 11, 2007 8:30 pm
Pick: 3 units (Normal) TOTAL: Over 192 (-110)
I've made it a point to play the Supersonics over anytime they shoot less than 40%, and in particular, under 37% the night before. They have done this twice including scoring pitifully at Orlando only to come the next day at Miami to get their first win and score well above a 100. This team responds well when they have a poor shooting night like against the Hornets where they went a deplorable 34 for 90 and for many teams that stat is ok, but given that this team is offensive minded, they will have a better night shooting today in my opinion. The Bulls are also scoring more points of late hitting 111 against Charlotte at home (their breakthrough offensive game), 98 against Dallas and even 98 on the road at Detroit. This comes off a frustrating offensive game against a Celtics team that is great defensively, which is the same situation the Sonics come off playing against a defensive Hornets tema and I think both teams pop 96 today and consequently the over. I have this game at 204 as I think Seattle will push Chicago and consequently the over.
