Play: Detroit/Milwaukee over 194 -105
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The Pistons are coming off their highest-scoring game of the season, a 128-118 victory on Wednesday vs. Orlando. They have five guys averaging double-figures in scoring, led by the big threesome of Brandon Jennings, Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond. Against the Magic Jennings became the first player since 2009 to have a 20-point, 20 assist game and he, Monroe and Drummond combined for 74 points. Jennings also missed both of the matchups with the Bucks earlier this season and he has averaged 19.4 points and 9.4 assists in five other meetings against his former club. Drummond had scored 49 points and grabbed 30 rebounds in his last two tilts against Milwaukee. In the last 15 contests, Jodie Meeks and Kyle Singler have shot 44.3% from behind the arc. The Bucks are still without their defensive anchor, Larry Sanders (drug suspension), and they are above average in shooting from the field, on threes and from the line. Games for both teams average more than 194 points both overall and in the home/away splits. Games for all three referees for this one (Bill Kennedy, John Goble and Courtney Kirkland) average at least 202 points. Detroit is outstanding on the offensive glass (12.8 per game) and at home the Bucks average 12.3 offensive rebounds.
Record: 255-193-9 (56.9%)
Bankroll: +162.05%
