Betting preview for Monday’s top games
One of the highlights of Monday’s sports schedule is the Detroit Pistons hosting the New York Knicks as the teams battle for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons (26-9) sit at the top, while the Knicks (23-12) lead the Atlantic Division but are three games back in the conference and have lost three in a row. The Knicks are 2.5-point road favorites, and the over/under is set at 232.5. These are two of the NBA’s top rebounding teams, while the Knicks have been winning with offense and Detroit is one of the league’s top defensive teams. The Pistons allow 112.8 points per game, fifth-fewest in the NBA, and score 118.9 (11th). The Knicks score 120.6 (fourth) and give up 114.9 (11th). Both are in the top four in averaging more than 46 rebounds per game. Both teams have designs on an NBA title, with Jalen Brunson (29.3) leading the Knicks and Cade Cunningham (26.7) pacing the Pistons. The SportsLine Projection Model has the Knicks covering the spread in 56% of its simulations and gives Under 232.5 a B grade. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
The NBA schedule also features Warriors vs. Clippers and Nuggets vs. 76ers, and the NHL slate is led by Red Wings vs. Senators. In college basketball, No. 13 Nebraska (14-0) tries to follow up its big victory against Michigan State and keep its perfect record intact when it visits Ohio State (10-3). The Buckeyes are 2.5-point home favorites, and the SportsLine model has them winning 72% of the time and covering in 66% of simulations, giving both of those picks an A grade. Also Monday, ninth-ranked Michigan State (12-2) tries to bounce back from the loss to the Huskers but faces a tough test against No. 24 USC (12-2).Â
