Boston at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers + over Celtics- Difficult to understand why this line is so low as Philadelphia has now lost eight of their last nine games and are seven games out of playoffs. The first clue I receive is that Boston is a lowly 10-18 on the road while the 76ers are 17-15 at home. Then I see that the Celtic are 1-7 ATS in their last eight meetings in Philadelphia. Boston is coming off a win over Golden State and then travel to Philly this is a soft spot for them. Take the home team here. 76ERS!

New York Knicks at Boston 8:00 ET Celtics + over Knicks- The Boston Celtics have fallen below .500 at 20-21 and coach Doc Rivers knows that it's time for his veterans to step forward. They have now dropped four straight and need a win over their fiercest rival in the East the New York Knicks. Boston is not only struggling for wins on the court but in the points spread column as well as they are 14-24-3 ATS and only 18-8 straight-up at home and 8-11-2 ATS as hosts. Boston seems to get 'up' for games against the Knicks as they are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Celtics need this one and will put forth a huge effort tonight. Take BOSTON!

LA Clippers at Chicago 9:30 ET Bulls + over Clippers- Something will have to give here as two winning streaks collide. The Los Angeles Clippers have won six consecutive games while the Chicago Bulls have won their last three. Defense will the key tonight for the Bulls who has kept five of their last six opponents to 88 points or fewer but the Clippers have managed to win nine of the last 11 meetings played in Chicago. But, this time around the Bulls have revenge on their minds having been pounded by the Clippers earlier in Los Angeles 101-80 back in mid-November. It is time for payback...BULLS!

Denver at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons + Nuggets- The Denver Nuggets are know for their 'Mile-High' advantage when they are at home but their road record has always left something to be desired. As of now with two ore games to go on this current road trip the Nuggets are 5-10 on the road where they have played the most games of any NBA team. For the Pistons Brandon Knight has been on a roll scoring at least 20 points in six straight games. Detroit who has lost the last five meetings is looking for revenge from a loss to Denver back on November 6th. Take DETROIT.

Detroit at Cleveland 7:30 ET Pistons + Cavaliers- Let me get this straight, the Detroit Piston lost their first eight games of the season and have lost 10 of 11 road games this a year and have won a grand total of one game away from home. So way in the world would they open a favorite against anybody. Well, Cleveland isn't just anybody, the are without their top start and have won only two of seven home games. The Pistons have also won three straight in the series and 'covered' the last four meetings. Numbers can't lie and they say that Detroit wins here. Take the PISTONS!

Chicago at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons + over Bulls- These aren't the same Chicago Bulls that we have seen play in recent seasons as they have yet to win more then two consecutive games without Derek Rose this year. The odds makers don't have much confidence in the Bulls although they have won 16 straight in this series and seven straight at the Palace of Auburn Hills. After an 0-8 start the Pistons have battle back to go 6-6 including five straight home wins until getting upset by Golden State on Wednesday. Pistons get it back and break the streak tonight. Take DETROIT!

Boston at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers + over Celtics- These two begin a home-and-home series tonight and play again tomorrow in Boston. Even though Rondo is returning tonight after his two game suspension the Celtics have had problems in Philadelphia where they are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven trips to the 'City of Brotherly Love' and the 76ers have won four of the last six regular season meetings. Look for the Sixers to put forth a huge effort here before having to travel to Bean Town. Take PHILADELPHIA!

Denver at Atlanta 8:00 ET Nuggets + over Hawks- This game concerns me a bit as the Hawks are off a six-game winning streak that ended Friday in Cleveland. Denver meanwhile, is just 4-8 on the road and yet with a 9-9 record this game is a virtual pick-em in Atlanta where the 9-5 Hawks are 5-3 straight-up but only 1-7 ATS. Atlanta's long range bomber Kyle Korver did not practice on Tuesday and his status is questionable and so is DeShawn Stevenson. Take DENVER!

Golden State at Detroit 7:35 ET Pistons over Warriors- Last time out we had the Pistons as a 'Money Game' winner over the Cavaliers on Monday as they won by 10. Detroit started the year 0-8 and have now won five straight at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Also on Monday the Warriors had their three game winning streak stopped at home against the Magic. The Pistons are beginning to show some offense as Brandon Knight becomes more aggressive. Take PISTONS!

L.A. Lakers at Houston Rockets + over Lakers- The Lakers still haven't found their way as of yet and are still one game under .500. The Rockets who started fast and then faded have manged to win four of their last five but were beaten by the Lakers in Los Angeles and this is their second meeting of the season. LA is only 1-4 on the road and 3-4 under new coach Mike D'Antoni and they just can't stop opponents from fouling Howard down the stretch. He shooting a career low 41% from the free throw line. Take ROCKETS!

The Nets will miss Brook Lopez who will be missing his third straight game with an injured foot. Oklahoma City is the NBA's top scoring team and ranked number one from the free throw line. Brooklyn is looking to bounce-back from the beating the took in Miami from the Heat on Sunday. At home plus the points it's the NETS!

LA Clippers at Utah 9:05 ET Jazz + over Clippers- The last time these two met in Utah the Jazz had a 16-game home winning streak that the Clippers ended with a 107-105 victory. This time around the Jazz are undefeated at home this season winning all six encounters. Before that win last February the Clippers had lost 38 of their last 39 in Salt Lake City. Los Angeles is currently on a two game win streak after having dropped their previous four game. The Jazz history at home and Clippers' record at Utah drive me to the home team. Take UTAH!
