After going toe to toe with the Spurs in the first half of the NBA Finals series Game One, Detroit collapsed in the last 24 minutes, getting outscored 49-32. The end results was a 15 point defeat that has the road Pistons in dire need of a victory to even the series on Sunday. It certainly won't be an easy task however, as San Antonio hasn't lost to Detroit at home since 1997, a span of nine games.

It is certainly fitting that the winners of the last two NBA Finals series' are meeting to decide this year's champion. That occurrence is a first in 18 years. The Spurs, who got here by ousting the Suns in five games in the Western Conference Finals, opened as a -240 favorite but quickly moved to -470 after the easy game one win, according to BetCRIS.com. Detroit, a seven games series winner in the East over Miami, is the defending champion though and a win in game two would steal home court advantage with the next three games coming in Auburn Hills. If you recall, the Pistons swept all three home games in last year's finals series against the Lakers.

Here are some key angles to consider when handicapping the NBA Finals, particularly the first two games of the series:

The Pistons have a strong revenge seeking team this season:
DETROIT is 13-4 ATS (+8.6 Units) revenging a loss where team scored less than 85 points this season. The average score was DETROIT 90.6, OPPONENT 83.4

The Spurs have taken care of business at home, particularly against the good teams. Look at the average score of this impressive trend:
SAN ANTONIO is 12-2 ATS (+8.8 Units) in home games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 70%) this season. The average score was SAN ANTONIO 98.1, OPPONENT 81.8

San Antonio has had a penchant for controlling the tempo as a home favorite:
SAN ANTONIO is 17-3 UNDER (+13.7 Units) in home games as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season. The average score was SAN ANTONIO 96.0, OPPONENT 84.0

Regarding the low scoring output in Game One:
DETROIT is 14-5 UNDER (+8.5 Units) after a combined score of 165 points or less this season. The average score was DETROIT 88.9, OPPONENT 81.6

Anyone risking money on game 2?
