Boston Celtics vs. Detroit Pistons, 7:00PM ET

The Pistons are 3-2 against the spread in their last five games and they now host a Celtics team that has lost four of its last six and is just 1-7 ATS in its last eight contests. This Boston team just isn't playing well right now, with the team coming off of a home loss to a Phoenix Suns squad that was without Devin Booker. The Celtics were 9.5-point favorites in that game, but they ended up losing by 12. That's a sign of where this Boston team is right now, and we just don't see this group earning a blowout win against a Detroit team that is suddenly confident. 

It helps that Marcus Smart remains out for the Celtics, as that should give Jaden Ivey the opportunity to continue playing great basketball. The rookie has taken his game to another level in the last couple of weeks, as he is now playing a lot better as a playmaker. With Smart not being in the lineup, Boston is missing a little nastiness, and that should give Detroit a chance to hang around — especially if Bojan Bogdanovic gets hot. 

DID YOU KNOW? Detroit's Jaden Ivey has recorded more than 4.5 assists in 11 of his last 15 appearances. That and more in our NBA Trends section.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Brooklyn Nets, 7:30PM ET

The Over is 10-2 in the road games that Los Angeles has played with a total of 210 to 219.5 this season, and the average total points scored in those games is 224.3 points per game. On top of that, the Over is also 11-3 in Clippers road games against Eastern Conference opponents this season. That average total points scored is even higher, as it's up at 234.0 points per game. With that in mind, we see this one being a little higher in scoring than expected. 

The Nets are actually coming off a game in which they earned a 125-123 victory over the Washington Wizards. The team played a very fast-paced style of basketball in that one, with second-year guard Cam Thomas getting the ultimate green light there. If Brooklyn turns to the youngster again here, that'll be a commitment to simply trying to outscore Los Angeles in a shootout. And while the Clippers don't necessarily need to play that way, they definitely have the pieces to get away with doing so. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are both excellent defenders, but they're also capable of combining for 60 or more points on any given night. That's a good thing for Over bettors in this specific matchup. 

SAY WHAT? Los Angeles' Terance Mann has scored more than 7.5 points in 12 of his last 19 appearances. You can find more stats like this in our NBA Trends section.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Portland Trail Blazers, 10:00PM ET

While the Bucks are 36-17 this season, they're just 13-12 straight-up and 10-12-3 ATS when playing on the road. Meanwhile, the Blazers are a much better team at home than they are on the road, and this crowd is going to be very fired up for a big game like this. With that said, we think Portland has a great chance of keeping this close — or winning it outright. 

Jrue Holiday is a tremendous two-way guard for the Bucks, but the Blazers have a huge edge in the backcourt with Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons. That should be rather evident in a game like this, as those guys could get hot with the crowd on their side. Portland also has some lengthy wings it can use to slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton. 

Under Mike Budenholzer, Milwaukee is just 33-52 ATS in road game versus teams that shoot at least 36.0% from three. That's not a good sign heading into a meeting with Lillard and Co. 

TREND: We've also identified an NBA trend for Portland's Damian Lillard that's worth consideration. Lillard has recorded more than 7.5 assists in 13 of his last 22 appearances.
