7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Pistons +3
The Key: I really like the Pistons at home tonight whether Carmelo Anthony suits up or not. The Knicks beat Cleveland Monday but needed 70 points from the bench to erase a 22-point deficit. That big come from behind win places them in a letdown spot here, especially since they host Oklahoma City tomorrow night and have won the season's first three meetings with Detroit decisively. The Knicks will be looking ahead to a matchup with a bigger fish. The Knicks are just 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a win. They have struggled when getting only a day of rest as they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games when playing on 1 day of rest. The Pistons, meanwhile, are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games when playing on 2 days' rest. Lastly, it is certainly worth noting that the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Take the points.
