San Antonio Spurs - Detroit Pistons - NBA

San Antonio Spurs will play the Detroit Pistons at the ATT center tonight, as the game will be available on Fox Sports San Antonio, with tip-off set for 8:30 p.m. CST.  Tony Parker will be out again tonight and P. Mills (10 asts in his last game) will get the start. Houston Rockets just handled a tough loss to the Spurs 101-99, as Lamarcus Aldridge missed a tip-in, which could have tied the game in the last few second of the 4th quarter. Spurs lost two straight games at home, very unusual for them, and this will not be tolerated by Coach Popovich, who will strongly insists the team plays hard for the entire 48 min.; My view is that the Spurs will play much better tonight. San Antonio is still 2nd in the league in 3-pt % (39%), and I hope they shall cover the "Alternative Point Spread" of (-2.5 pts.) - Bet365. With that, I pick the San Antonio Spurs with (-2.5) points. 

UPDATE November 15, 2016 - FINAL Result: San Antonio Spurs 96-86 Detroit Pistons. San Antonio Spurs recorded a 96-86 win over Detroit.  Paul Gasol had season highs with 21 points and 6 assists, and the San Antonio Spurs snapped a 2-game home losing streak at home. Gasol also had 9 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. It was the most points he has scored in any half this season and was his second-highest total this year. Kawhi Leonard had 17 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Spurs. Tony Parker added 7 points and 4 assists.  Andre Drummond matched his season high with 20 points and had 17 rebounds, but Detroit lost anyway. Another easy win for us, since we have had a "safety net"-bet: Spurs with only (-2.5) pts.
