These teams should know each other fairly well by now as this is the fourth meeting between them in under two months. OKC have won two of those games, but none of their wins have been in double digits. Minnesota have four defeats in their last five but most of those games have been close, and they can keep things competitive against the conference leaders by beating the spread.

Neither team is playing great at the moment, but I still give the edge to Philadelphia. The 76ers are 16-4 SU in the last 20 meetings, while also covering the spread 15 times. They won both meetings this season as well, with the Bulls scoring just 100 and 97 points in those games. A healthy Tyrese Maxey will be the best player on the court, he’ll carry the 76ers to a vital win here.

Both teams will be playing their second game of a back-to-back so neither team will be fully rested. The positive for the Pistons is they will remain at home for the back-to-back while the Clippers will be flying in from Indiana. The Pistons are also significantly younger than the Clippers with an average age of 24 compared to the average of 27 years old for Los Angeles. Along with Cunningham, Jalen Duran has been impressive during the win streak. He is averaging a double-double this season and 16.5 points per game in his last three games. Friday’s game against San Antonio was his best output with 21 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists. The Pistons have been the better team in the past couple of weeks and have less injury concerns. I have no trouble backing them on their home court.
