IMO this game screamed over based on Utah's recent performance and the two teams' average points scored and allowed.

Generally NBA totals will be close to an average of the two teams' average totals for the season. For this game:

Average total in Detroit games: 192
Average total in Utah games: 180

So in that sense 176 looks very attractive. Detroit under Flip Saunders is much more explosive offensively than they were under Larry Brown.

Of course I'm also on the Jazz +7 and Jazz ML +260, so what do I know. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
