Analysis

Ausar Thompson Points Prop is currently Over/Under 8.5 (-117/+113).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 8.5 @ -122 before it was bet up to 8.5 @ -117.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The Detroit Pistons rank as the 3rd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to added opportunities for scoring and assists).
The matchup against Cleveland may be a good one for getting to the charity stripe; the other team's starting SFs have attempted a monstrous 4.4 free throws per game over the last 20 games when the Cavaliers are the visiting team (2nd-most in the NBA).

Favors Under

With respect to 3-point attempts, the least aggressive team in the NBA when playing at home over the last 25 games has been the Pistons.
This year, the opposition's starting SFs have tallied 3.9 three attempts per game (3rd-fewest in the NBA) against the Cavaliers, resulting in a hard matchup.
The 7th-most lethargic pace-of-play home offense in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Pistons.
