Miami at Detroit Eastern Conference Finals game #1.
The rematch everyone was expecting. The players are saying rested Heat if they're going to fight they must take one in Detroit. They're ready, willing and able. The dynamic dual of Shaq and Dwayne will bring their game to the Palace. Heat with +5.5 points are the way to go......
I'm not all the way sold on Miami with 6 days without play.
Detroit was not all there in the Cleveland series, but even in bad times Pistons defense kept them in game and ultimately played Detroit basketball to take game 7 in dominant fashion. When this team comes to life it's tough to compete especially at the Palace. The dynamic dual will get their scores, but the supporting cast of Heat may get shutdown.
That's my devils advocate for those thinking easy Miami money.
But I'm not all for giving up -5.5 points either.
I will go with the Detroit Playoff home 1st quarter record 5-2 ATS with recorded wins by minimum margin of 6 points.

DET 1st Quarter -1.5 at -110 for 2 units(L)
Players were right Miami did bring their game on the road.
0-1 -2.20 units
