Milwaukee looks to continue its strong play against a Dallas team dealing with injuries. The Bucks are coming off a 121-112 win over the Nuggets, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 28 points and 19 rebounds. With the addition of Kyle Kuzma, Milwaukee has improved its fourth-quarter scoring. Dallas, missing frontcourt players like Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II, will struggle to contain Antetokounmpo inside. Dallas has relied on 7-foot-2 Moses Brown on a 10-day contract but lacks size otherwise. The Bucks are poised to cover as they head into this matchup.
Detroit aims to rebound after ending its eight-game win streak with a loss to the Nuggets. Cade Cunningham will look to bounce back from a tough outing, and the Pistons will lean on their defensive intensity to get back on track. Brooklyn, having lost three straight, is struggling to find consistency. Detroit has been strong at home and is favored to cover the spread as it faces the Nets for the third and final time this season.
Houston has been on a solid run since the All-Star break, with Jalen Green playing at an elite level and averaging 26.5 points in his last four games. Sacramento is still figuring out how to adjust after trading De’Aaron Fox, leaving Domantas Sabonis to shoulder most of the load. The Rockets’ defensive improvements and rebounding advantage will be key in this game, and they should cover the spread against the Kings.
Golden State enters this game on a five-game winning streak, with Stephen Curry playing at an MVP level. Curry’s 56-point performance against Orlando proved he’s the driving force behind the Warriors’ success. The 76ers, without Joel Embiid for the rest of the season, are struggling and have not won since Feb. 4. With Curry setting the tone, Golden State is expected to cover the spread comfortably in Philadelphia.
