We'll stick with them for yet another.
We’ve used this theory very recently and it was a winner in part of our nine-game winning streak on Hoops Top Plays that we currently have going. This theory revolves around what happens when the “hunter” becomes the “hunted”. This theory is in play again today as the Pistons travel to take on the Timberwolves in Minnesota. Normally, it’s the Pistons that would have to avoid overlooking the T-wolves but this situation is entirely different and what that means for us is a fantastic situation for a play ON Detroit. The Pistons have lost seven of their last nine games. As for the Timberwolves, and we’ve ridden them often during their hot streak, they’ve won ten of their twelve games in January! So, why is the play ON Detroit here? It all has to do with hunger and value! We can take a very talented Pistons team that has their backs against the wall and we can take them to avenge an embarrassing 26 point loss at HOME that was suffered at the hands of Minnesota earlier this season. Yes, the Pistons are currently struggling and the Timberwolves have been hot but a closer look reveals some key factors.
As hot as Minnesota has been this month they’ve been quite fortunate too. They started the month 5-0 but the wins were against the Warriors, Bulls, Grizzlies, Thunder, and Bucks. Of that group, only Milwaukee currently has more than 14 wins on the season and even the Bucks are four games below .500 on the season. Their next five wins in their 10-2 January included the Bulls and Bucks again. Plus, this time when the Timberwolves faced Milwaukee, the Bucks had just lost Michael Redd to a season-ending injury! The other three wins in this stretch included a victory over the Clippers plus a Hornets team that was hammered by the injury bug when the Timberwolves faced them. Perhaps their most impressive win this month was a win over the Suns and yet, even that win was diminished by the fact it came during a stretch where Phoenix would end up losing five of six games! Don’t get us wrong, Minnesota is much better than they use to be and we’ve successfully used them often during this recent run. It’s just that there is a time and place for everything and now, after facing a slew of injury-riddled teams, the Timberwolves are facing a Detroit team that is injury-free and VERY hungry! Allen Iverson sat for much of the fourth quarter in the Pistons tight loss versus Houston on Sunday. Look for this to be a wake-up call for him and for the entire team. This team still has so much talent…they even bring Richard Hamilton off the bench…however, they’re currently “devalued” by the odds makers and the bettors and we’ll take advantage of that here. Play Detroit as a Top Play selection on Wednesday night.
