This game is of no interest for the teams,as Detroit will finish in 2nd position of the Eastern Conference and Minesotta is eliminated from the playoffs.

To start with, Detroit is one of the best defenses in the league, specially when playing at home. They are averaging 97.4 points in offense while they are allowing 90.1. Minesotta is averaging 95.3 points offensively and 102.2 points defensively. Also, Detroit is 99.4 and 87.8 at home and Minesotta is 94.4 and 103.7 away. At its last 5 games Detroit is 94.4 and 86.4 while Minesotta is 105.2 and 112.4. Minesotta is scoring and allowing many points at their last 5 games, because they played against teams that are not strong defensively and they are playing in a pretty fast tempo (Memphis twice, Orlando, New Orleans and Charlotte).

At its last 10 Detroit's games, under is 8-2 and at Minesotta's last 10 games over is 6-4. At the last 9 games between them under is 6-2-1, but two games (one was over the totals and one exactly at the totals) had overtime. 4 of these games were held in Detroit and none of them ended over the totals.

Finally, Detroit at home is having 15-24 over/under and Minesotta away is 16-23 over/under. When the totals are between 185 and 189.5 points under is 9-11 for Detroit and 8-12 for Minesotta.

I think that this game will be a slow tempo game, with not many field goals. Pistons, surely will want to keep their strength for the playoffs, which start on Saturday.
