These are two bad basketball teams, and I’m not sure how you can lay points with either side. Sure, the Detroit Titans have more wins, but they’re losing their last 5 games by an average of 9.2 points, and they lose on the road by an average of 10.1 points. If forced to pick, give me the free bucket and the home team.
