Detroit has been decent on the offensive end and the punch they’ve gotten from Rose is a nice addition for their bench group. The Pistons are at home and already own a win over the Pacers: look for them to beat Indiana for the second time in a week as Drummond and Rose lead the way.

The team has played as expected but they have also been competitive in two of their first three games. Even though the Knicks have won the last two games in this rivalry, the Bulls have the advantage in this game because they have played well against the spread on the road and also have a favorable matchup against the Knicks. The battle between the frontcourt of the two teams should even out with R.J. Barrett and Julius Randle going up against Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr. However, the Bulls are better on the perimeter with Zach LaVine and Coby White going up against Elfrid Payton and Allonzo Trier, which will help the Bulls get the win.

While he isn’t likely to miss much time on the floor, it would make sense for the Raptors to rest him in this game and see how his ankle responds to treatment later in the week. His absence will put the Raptors in a bind on the road against a Thunder team that is trying to keep from slipping all the way to the bottom of the Western Conference playoff rankings. The return of Westbrook will be a huge lift for the struggling Thunder, and I expect him to respond emphatically after being suspended and turning in a seven-point scoring performance against the Warriors.

This one is going to be an interesting matchup as the Heat has been on a roll of late while Toronto has sputtered a bit. The Raptors are in a much safer position in the playoff picture than the Heat, who is trying to fight off the Hornets, Magic and Wizards for the final playoff spot at this point. Miami isn’t a great home team, as we’ve seen by their 15-18 home mark. Toronto is really scuffling without VanVleet to run the offense for the second unit and he’s going to be out another couple weeks it sounds like. Leonard has been ruled out for “load management” as they try to keep him fresh for the postseason by limiting his minutes down the stretch. That tilts the needle toward the Heat, who knows that every win is important at this stretch. Look for Miami to find a way to claw out the victory here.

NBA 100 DIME GAME 219 UNDER The focus on this game seems to be the distinct rebounding advantage the Pistons have over the Raptors. While the Pistons rank sixth in the league in rebounds per game, the Raptors rank in the bottom-half. So they will definitely run into problems with Griffin and Drummond both surveying the paint area. As always, scoring points will be the biggest issue for the Pistons. Despite their defensive prowess, the Pistons will be facing a Raptors team that ranks in the top-10 with a scoring average of 114.3 points per game. The addition of Gasol has made them even more deadly on that end of the floor and a handful for any opposing team in the league. Unlike previous years, this isn’t a Raptors team simply looking to compete in the playoffs. They appear to be all-in with their eyes set on an NBA championship. Finishing with the top seed in the Eastern Conference would make the path to the NBA Finals much easier. The Milwaukee Bucks are only two games ahead right now, giving every game a must-win feel to it. Detroit won’t be the only capable defensive team on the floor on Sunday, as the Raptors are considered elite in that category as well. The value is in the under! I have the Raptors winning 108-106.

NBA 100 DIME GAME 216.5 UNDER There is a chance that Love could be back on the floor on Sunday, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the Cavaliers opt to rest him for another game. He is already coming off a foot injury in a down season for a team that’ll be spending the playoffs watching from home. It would be ludicrous to rush him at this point in what is essentially meaningless basketball for the Cavaliers. No Love would mean big problems for the Cavaliers, who already have the third-worst record in the league. The Magic, on the other hand, have slowly climbed their way back to playoff contention. This is one of those rare situations for the Magic where they’ll actually be favorites on the road. There aren’t enough good things being said about Vucevic this season. He is averaging a career-high 20.5 points per game and proving to be a major thorn in the side for opposing teams. Not to mention he’s also leading the team in rebounds with 12.5 per game. Even if Love does play, the Magic have shown the ability to lock up on defense and eke past elite teams, much less one of the worst in the league. The value is in the under! Magic 106 - 103

The Celtics would not have home court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs right now as they are 2.5 games behind the 76ers. Houston has won four straight and rallied for the win over the Heat despite being shorthanded. The Rockets are a dangerous team and they can bury you from the perimeter if they’re on with their shooting. Harden is too much to handle for the Celtics as Houston makes it five straight wins. The books like to keep this line around 215 on the total. The game is tend to play more aggressive in Houston, but with the game played in Boston, I like the under here.

NBA 100 DIME GAME NUGGETS -12.5 The Pelicans are trying to make the best out of a clearly dysfunctional situation right now, which puts them in a vulnerable position going on the road against the No. 2-ranked team in the Western Conference. Davis is being given playing time, but he is also being used sparingly by the Pelicans as a precaution for a future trade. The Pelicans are no longer a team that’s all-in for playoff contention. They’re basically a team that’s trying to make it through the rest of the season quickly and with the least amount of drama possible. As for the Nuggets, they have proven to be more than a flash in the pan team. They’ll be motivated for a bounce-back win after losing to the Jazz on Thursday. It’s hard to envision the Nuggets dropping back-to-back games at the Pepsi Center when they’ve only lost five games at home all season. Davis won’t be available to help out down the stretch, as the Nuggets run up the score on a Pelicans team that has the fifth-worst scoring defense in the league. Guarding Jokic is a full-time job, and if Davis isn’t all-in, the Pelicans won’t win this game. Take the Nuggets in this one.

NBA 100 DIME GAME BLAZERS +5 This one is going to be a heavyweight tilt between a pair of teams that have momentum. The Trail Blazers have picked up wins over Golden State at home, then dispatched Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Boston on the road. That four-game run on the road is impressive as they were 10-15 on the road before that stretch. Toronto is 26-6 at home but we did see them lose to Orlando Sunday. Portland has the momentum and their two-headed monster of Nurkic and Kanter in the low block will make it tough for Toronto on the glass. Look for Portland’s depth in the rotation to give them the edge in this contest.

NBA 100 DIME GAME THUNDER -170 There’s something about George going against the Jazz. He has been the leading scorer the last two times these teams have played one another. It was a 43-point performance in their most recent game in December and a 31-point performance prior to that game. So he’ll definitely be the player to watch in the rubber match on Friday. There is no answer for Westbrook, and he’ll likely take a step back from scoring, while dominating more on the boards and as a facilitator this time around. These are the games when Mitchell hasn’t shown the consistency of a legitimate superstar. When faced with elite opposition, he sometimes disappears entirely or turns in a mediocre performance, particularly when the Jazz are playing on the road. Each loss hurts for the Jazz as they try to stay afloat in the playoff picture with the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers. They’ll feel that pain once again on the road when they succumb to the fearsome duo of Westbrook and George for a third time this season. Give me the Thunder in this game.

NBA 100 DIME GAME WOLVES -5 It’s tough seeing an organization with so much history as the Knicks continue to struggle every season. Basketball enthusiasts aren’t getting pleasure out of watching any NBA team lose 18 consecutive games. So it was a bit of a relief to see the Knicks finally get a win and put that painfully long losing streak in the rearview. However, it won’t remain there for long. The Timberwolves have shown more fight than expected after trading away Jimmy Butler this season, and they are coming off a pair of quality wins over the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers. Karl-Anthony Towns is also on a hot streak right now, netting 24-plus points in his last six consecutive games. He has also registered a double-double in nine of his last 12 outings. The daunting task of slowing down Jeff Teague, Derrick Rose and Andrew Wiggins will be too big of a challenge for the Knicks’ backcourt. They are finally putting the right pieces together, but they are still a long ways off from being a good basketball team. I’ll take the Timberwolves in this game.

NBA 100 DIME GAME LAKERS +2.5 The final stretch of the season will be critical for the Lakers if they have any shot of climbing back into the playoff picture. There is a real possibility that even a James-led team could be left out in the cold this year in the deep and talented Western Conference. These aren’t the good, old days when he could simply drag a bad team to playoff contention. That isn’t to say his talent is diminishing. He is still considered the best basketball player on the planet for good reason, but if the Lakers are going to make a late run in the season, he’s going to need help from some of the other young stars on the roster like Ingram, Kuzma, Josh Hart and Lonzo Ball. The return of Ball and Hart, who have both been sidelined with injuries, will be a huge boost for the Lakers on Thursday against the Rockets. That will ultimately aid in their offensive firepower, which the team will desperately need facing reigning MVP James Harden. There is simply too much on the line for the Lakers at this point to expect James and company to drop a third consecutive loss. This is their first game back from the All-Star break at home, and for the first time in a while, they’ll have all of their pieces available. Another monstrous scoring effort by Harden will lead to a thrilling game, but it will be no match for the must-win hunger from the Lakers. Give me Los Angeles in this game.

NBA 100 DIME GAME ROCKETS -8 There is legitimate concern with the Rockets putting so much of the weight on Harden’s shoulders. His ability to average 30-plus point performances is a spectacular feat, and it might even win him a second consecutive league MVP nod. However, that kind of strategy isn’t conducive for a championship run. Fortunately for the Rockets, Paul is expected to be back in the lineup on Monday, and they are playing against a Suns team that has the second-worst record in the league. Even if Paul couldn’t play, the Rockets should still be able to take care of business in this game. The Suns nearly have more consecutive losses than they have total wins. Despite all of the defensive issues with the Rockets, the Suns won’t be the team to take advantage considering they rank in the bottom-half of the league in total scoring offense. They are actually averaging less points scoring under their own roof than they are on the road. That average of 105.7 points per game isn’t going to cut it with Harden on the floor. Paul should also continue trending upwards after his improved performance against the Nuggets. Rockets by 12 points or more

Both teams have to fly in for this one as the Thunder was in New York Monday afternoon while the Trail Blazers were in Salt Lake City. Oklahoma City plays decent basketball at home, going 14-7, while Portland is 8-12 as the visiting team. With the Trail Blazers having a later start and then having to fly in, they may be a little weary come game time. The Thunder, playing at home and having their game early in the afternoon Monday, gets the upper hand here. The over is a good play here as well

NBA 100 DIME GAME ROCKETS +4.5 I am taking the points with the Rockets in this one. The Rockets have drilled a combined 48 three-pointers in their last two games, and James Harden has single-handedly won his teams games. Harden is averaging a remarkable 44.4 points on the month, and I am confident he can keep his team in the game.

NBA 75 DIME GAME 213 OVER The Heat are hanging in the playoff picture at 22-22, while Boston has won three straight to improve to 28-18. The Celts are currently in fifth place in the East, while Miami is seventh. The Heat beat the Celtics on Jan. 10, 115-99 at home. They’ve won three straight in this series. With the Heat coming in has a under dog, I like the Heat and the Over here. The Heat should put up around 113 points. Over is a strong play here.

NBA 100 DIME GAME CLIPPERS +9.5 Clippers are better offensively, scoring 116.6 ppg to Spurs’ 107.7 ppg, while Spurs are better defensively, allowing 108.2 ppg to Clippers’ 112. Clippers have better percentages both in field goals (47.3% to 44.6%) and in 3-pointers (38.7% to 37.8%). Spurs on the other hand are better both in turnovers committed (12.6 to 14.6) and in dimes made (23.2 to 22.4), while Clippers are better in boards grabbed (46.8 to 45.3). Spurs are struggling, and taking the 9.5 points is good.

Phoenix stands 17th in the league in assists with 24 per contest. Phoenix is 24th in the league in scoring defense as they allow 114.5 points a night. Minnesota dropped their second straight and third in their last four games as they were upended by the Spurs at home Friday night. The Timberwolves entered Saturday’s action 11th in the Western Conference, 3.5 games behind the Lakers for the final playoff spot. I like the Suns within 6 points.

NBA 100 DIME GAME 217 UNDER The Trail Blazers are a fresh road team coming off a five-game home stretch with soaring confidence emanating from a 4-0 run. Granted, three of the teams they defeated during that winning stretch did have losing records, but they also managed to knock off a red-hot Houston Rockets team in what was easily one of their best games so far this season. Both Teams Play a strong defense, and we have the Total at 213 or lower.

The Rockets have reeled off 13 wins in their last 16 games coming into this one despite missing guys like Paul and Gordon. Harden has been electric of late and they should take advantage of the Magic being tired. Orlando has struggled of late and that’s going to hurt them here. The Rockets get the upper hand in this contest. I have the Rockets winning 116-109

NBA 100 DIME GAME 208 UNDER The Bulls are a flawed team in too many ways to have any faith in choosing them on the road against a surging Jazz team. As shown in the win over the Lakers, the Jazz are a versatile team when rolling on all cylinders, and they can hurt opponents in so many different ways. They didn’t even have their best shooting night, and they were still able to bully the Lakers on the defensive end of the floor and muster enough offense to win the game. Three players notched double-doubles in that game for the Jazz. Take a moment and let that thought sink in. The value is in the total. I like the Total at 204 points or less.

NBA 100 DIME GAME 222 UNDER Right now, the Pistons are in a funk with four straight losses on the ledger. This is a return game for Griffin, who was rested on Thursday night in preparation for this one. The problem is, the Pistons don’t have a ton of depth in secondary scoring options at the moment. The Clippers are a talented team with plenty of weapons to work with. Harrell has developed into a force off the bench and combined with Williams, is one of the best bench duos in the league. The under is the play here. I have the total at 217 or less.

Houston has won seven of nine coming into this one and with Harden playing. The key value is in the under. The total should be near 214 points or less.

NBA 100 DIME GAME 227 UNDER Washington is going to have their work cut out in this one as they are missing key players in their rotation with Howard, Wall and Morris all out of the mix. As with most teams, it’s going to be tough to contain Antetokounmpo. Washington’s defense has been poor all season long and this is going to be a major test against the league’s top scoring offense. The Wizards are 29th in three point field goal defense as opponents hit 37.1 percent from beyond the arc. The key value is in the under. 224 points or less.
