Re: Nba 25/2 Pistons -1 Is this going to be a let down game? I don't think so. They got on a plane to play three of the top in the west with a game vs the clippers to finish it off. I don't see them looking at tonight as something to chance on.
They're rested. In the rout that they gave the Suns the 5 starters all played below their normal minutes. A couple, well below as the bench continued what the starters started.
They looked as good as I've seen them last night, and frankly stat wise over the past two games. Now while some of yesterday was clearly the Suns undoing, the quickness of the transition from offense to defense cannot be underrated.
Nuggets do get Linas Kleiza back as he was rested the previous game with an ankle strain.
The "shootout" style of play should really hurt the Nuggets in this game. I'd say with the Pistons impressive defense and transition game there will be quite a bit of turnovers and as long as the bench for Detroit continues the high value play, this is a no brainer. |
