Detroit-Memphis under 174
Larry Brown vs. Mike Fratello. That says it all right there, but I'll add that these teams combined for 140 points when they played earlier in the year. Detroit is averaging 89 ppg. and playing against a slow tempo team like Memphis, it's reasonable to expect them to score under that average by at least 5. And with Detroit expected to win at home, I'd say this game will go under the total.
Memphis is 11-22 over/under and Detroit is 12-18 over/under with 7 unders in their last nine home games. Both teams have been scoring more lately, but those were against uptempo teams that don't take pride in their defense like these two teams do.
13-7 record to date.
