This is a sleeper game, where on paper Detroit should beat this team. Detroit is coming of an impressive home away sweep of the Cavs, and Denver is coming of an dreadful lose to the Bucks of all teams.

Keys to the game: The Pistons need Tay to get off the pony and lite a fire under his butt. Tay will be gaurding Melo and if he can hold him to his average or less than Detroit will be fine. Last years game in Denver was a route by the Nuggets but it was after the brawl and the Pistons were not playing any ball at that time. This game will be hard fought and the Pistons are coming in focused and ready to pile up the W's.

My perdictions in this game look for the Pistons D to lock up the flow of the game 93-81. CB will have a double double 19-10.
