With Detroit laying just 1.5 points at home and the moneylines sitting near even, this game projects as a possession-by-possession battle where late execution and free-throw math can decide both the winner and the cover. In tight spreads like this, the handicap usually comes down to three things: which team takes care of the ball, which team wins the rebounding margin, and which team can generate efficient offense without needing a hot three-point night.
