Detroit is the better team, but Orlando are in a more desperate position. The Pistons already locked up the East’s top seed, while Orlando is 42-36, ninth in the conference, with all focus on jumping into the top six and skipping the play-in.

New York is 50-28 but struggles as an underdog and has lost five straight against teams above .500, relying heavily on Jalen Brunson. Atlanta, 45-33, has surged to the 5-seed by winning 18 of its last 20, averaging 118.6 points with elite ball movement. With strong momentum and home advantage, this favours the Hawks.

Although their win streak was snapped over the weekend by the Nuggets, the Spurs are still the odds-on favourites to get a win over the 76ers. Philadelphia just got blown out at home by a Pistons team without Cade Cunningham, and their form has been all over the place of late. San Antonio’s offence is just too much to handle for a team like Philadelphia, so go with the home side to cover.

The Denver Nuggets are riding the longest current win streak in the NBA and have been leading the league in scoring over the last 10 games.

The Trail Blazers are ranked 17th offensively across the last 10, and they have a losing record on the road this season.

Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 on Saturday and have won their last 19 home games, while Atletico Madrid are on a three-game losing streak. Los Colchoneros have scored in ten of their last 11, though, and should find the net against a Barca side with only one clean sheet in their last five.

Arsenal’s reputation as a defensively excellent side has been mudded by defeats to Manchester City and second-tier Southampton while a run of just three clean sheets in ten games suggests they are losing their way on that end.
