Detroit already showed it can control this matchup and it came from repeatable strengths like defence and rebounding. The Pistons force half-court possessions, where Minnesota’s offence can stagnate. At home, Detroit’s consistency becomes even more reliable. Detroit won by over 20 points in Minnesota last week, before pushing the Thunder and thumping the Raptors. On the back of those results, the spread should really be higher here.

The Suns’ recent away form has been poor, as their only victory across their last six trips came at a dire Memphis team. The Hornets are aiming to bounce back from defeats to Boston and Philly at home, and they returned to winning ways with a 30-point win over Brooklyn. The Hornets have been winning games at an elite pace in 2026 and that can continue here.

Golden State had a mini-revival against some weak teams, but they fell apart as soon as they returning to playing decent opposition. Double-digit losses to Denver and San Antonio showed their limitations without Steph Curry, and Cleveland can take care of business here after winning six of their last eight.

The scrappy Pelicans have lost their last five games, including a 134-102 loss to the Rockets in their last game. They’ve suffered three straight double-digit defeats, while Portland have won four of their last five and seven of their previous nine. The Trail Blazers have an 11-point average margin of victory as a home favourite, so back them to clear this line.

The Spurs have won the first two meetings by four-points, including one inspired comeback. Victor Wembanyama is in incredible form, and it’s hard to see the Clippers having any answer for that after trading away their starting centre at the deadline. San Antonio have won 13 of their last 14 away games, and they’re on a 10-game winning streak overall.

Adelaide have only failed to score twice this season, and seven of their last eight games have seen BTTS land. The hosts have lost three of their five clashes with the sides above them, with BTTS landing in all five. The visitors have won six times on their travels, and they can pick up another win.

Aaron: Walsall have recovered well from a wobble, going four games unbeaten and that includes a 3-0 victory at playoff rivals Crewe. Gillingham head to the Bescot Stadium on a five-game losing streak and they have shipped five in defeats to MK Dons and Cambridge during that period.

Joe: Bristol City made the unusual decision to persuade Roy Hodgson to come out of retirement for the final seven games of the Championship season after losing five of their last six games and, they have only scored in one of their last five.

Jamie: No Championship team can better Norwich’s points tally of 33 over the past 15 games. Pompey’s winless run was extended to six with a 6-1 hammering at mid-table QPR last time and they are now just one point above the drop zone.

Alex H: Plymouth are finishing with a flourish in League One and the Pilgrims still harbour hopes of a playoff place in the third tier. Argyle have lost just one of their last nine league matches, winning seven of those, and they should be too strong for a Bolton side third in the table despite having failed to win in their last three outings.

James: After losing four games in a row, QPR have roared back to form with two-successive victories and they can extend that record to three when they host a Watford side who have struggled on their travels. Watford have registered just one away win in their last seven Championship assignments and have lost on two of their last three trips to QPR.

Alex W: Bloomfield Road hosts a relegation six-pointer on Good Friday and the hosts should increase their standing against a struggling Exeter City. The Seasiders have taken seven points from their last three games and have won three of their last four on home soil.

Woking fell to defeat at promotion hopefuls York City at the weekend, but they have won five of their last six at Kingfield Stadium and should coast to victory against an Altrincham side with nine defeats from their last 12 away fixtures.

Burgos are pushing for promotion to the Spanish top flight and hold the third-best home record in the division. They have taken 16 points from the last 18 available at Estadio El Plantion, and another three-point haul is on the cards against Ceuta, who have lost five of their last six trips.

Both teams to score has landed in eight of Bahia’s last nine home games and more goals should be on the cards when Athletico PR visit Salvador, with the visitors scoring in ten successive away games but only keeping three clean sheets in that run.

Barracas Central are worth taking at odds-against to beat Sarmiento Junin, who have lost all five away games in the Argentina Liga Profesional this year. The hosts have won their last three home games by an aggregate scoreline of 6-2 and can take the points on Thursday.

Millwall are closing the gap on the automatic promotion spots in the Championship and they can upset the odds to add to their points tally against second-placed Middlesbrough on Good Friday. Boro are winless in their last four home games and face a Lions outfit with 13 points from the last 15 available on their travels.

Norwich have won seven of their last eight Carrow Road assignments  and can keep their faint play-off ambitions alive against Portsmouth. The visitors have only taken one point from their last six games and were demolished 6-1 at QPR last time out.

Elche are the only La Liga side yet to win away from home in the league and the division’s worst travelling side could receive another blow in their battle against relegation. They have lost their last six away games on the spin and hosts Rayo Vallecano are unbeaten in their last four home league games.

Manchester City lifted the EFL Cup before the international break and should keep their FA Cup hopes alive against Liverpool. The Reds have lost three of their last four away games and were beaten 3-0 here in November, while Pep Guardiola’s side have won seven of their last nine at the Etihad.

Verona are nine points adrift from Serie A safety and their situation is unlikely to improve against a resurgent Fiorentina outfit. La Viola are unbeaten in five games and look set to inflict a sixth defeat in seven games on their struggling hosts.

Monaco are only three points adrift of Marseille going into gameweek 28 in the Ligue 1 season and they are chasing a seventh successive league win. They have beaten Lyon, Lens, and PSG in this time and Marseille, who have lost three of their last five away games, could be Les Monegasques’ next victims.

Barracas Central are unbeaten in five games and have won their last three at home. They face a Sarmiento side with the second-worst away record in the league, losing all five of their Argentina Liga Profesional trips away this season.

Real Sociedad B have lost their last two fixtures but they should find the net in defeat after notching in ten of their last 11 games. Eibar have won four of their last five matches and have conceded in victory in each of their last three meetings with Real Sociedad B.

Both teams have scored in Castellon’s last five games, but they are winless in that run and face an Almeria side with title-winning ambitions. The visitors have won three of their last four games, but have conceded in each of their last three.

Leyton Orient are the team in the better form with four wins and a draw in their last five games, and they’ve managed back-to-back clean sheets. Orient have just one defeat in their last six away (W3, D2) and that run has seen them beat promotion hopefuls Stevenage and take a point at Stockport. The O’s won the reverse fixture 2-0 and can complete a league double over drop rivals Wigan, who have four defeats in their last eight at home.

Sergio Arribas took his tally to 21 goals for the season with a brace last time out, and the 24-year-old Almeria attacker has netted nine of these in his last nine appearances for the club.

Wigan have only conceded 15 goals across their 19 home games and they have failed to score in six of their seven home League One losses this season, while Orient have managed consecutive clean sheets and score on average just over a goal per-game on their travels. That all suggests this will be a low scoring and tight affair but the visitors can nick a 1-0 win.

Four of Cambridge United’s last eight games have ended all square and Swindon have drawn three of their last six. Five of these combined seven draws have ended 1-1 and, with only two points separating these sides, another tight affair is expected.

Both teams see a low average of goals in their games, particularly recently with three of Leganes’ last five having under 2.5 goals and four of Zaragoza’s last five. Expect a low quality, low scoring match with under 2.5 goals
