The Pistons have been a hard team to figure out. Just when they seemed to be finding a new gear, they drop two of three and look ugly in the process. They seem to be a team that raises their game against good competition and has letdowns against poor teams. While Minnesota played last night, it is 3-1 against the spread this season on no rest. I like the Timberwolves to play well against the Pistons tonight.
