------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicago Bulls at Detroit Pistons (ABC | 1 PM ET)
This will Chicago center Ben Wallace's first trip back to Detroit since signing with the Bulls in the offseason. Wallace had a huge game in the first meeting against his former team back on January 6th, totaling 12 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks in a 106-89 victory. EDGE: BULLS
The Pistons seem to have found a solid replacement for Wallace in the middle with Chris Webber, who is averaging 12.7 points and 6.9 rebounds since signing with the team. More importantly, they are 14-3 SU with him in the starting lineup. EDGE: PISTONS
The Bulls have played outstanding defense since the All-Star break, limiting opponents to an average of 83 points per game in three wins. They are also 3-0 ATS during their winning streak, and the total has gone UNDER each time along with four straight overall. EDGE: BULLS & UNDER
The favorite is 19-6 ATS in the last 25 meetings.
Detroit is 4-11 ATS last 15 games against divisional opponents.
Chicago is 7-19-1 ATS last 27 road games.
UNDER is 8-2 in Detroit's last 10 home games.
UNDER is 8-3 in Detroit's last 11 against Eastern Conference opponents.

Houston Rockets at Orlando Magic (2 PM ET)
Orlando center Dwight Howard is averaging 24 points and 12.1 rebounds while shooting 73.9 percent from the field over his last nine games, but the Magic are just 2-7 in those contests. Orlando has lost three in a row and 25 of 39 since a 13-4 start to the season. EDGE: ROCKETS
The Rockets are holding opponents to 90.8 points per game this season, but have allowed 97.8 over their past four contests, going 2-2 in that stretch. EDGE: OVER
Houston has won its last four visits to Orlando after dropping 10 straight there. The Rockets have also won seven of the last eight overall meetings following a 1-14 stretch in the series. EDGE: ROCKETS
The Rockets are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Miami Heat (ABC | 3:30 PM ET)
Cleveland has been playing shorthanded of late but should receive a boost with the return of center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who missed the last four games with family health problems. The Cavs will likely be without guards Sasha Pavlovic and Damon Jones. EDGE: HEAT
If Miami's first game since Dwyane Wade dislocated his left shoulder was an indication of how the team will fare without him, the Heat are in trouble. The Heat trailed by 23 at halftime and by as many as 32 in the fourth quarter of a 112-100 loss at Dallas on Thursday. EDGE: CAVS
The UNDER is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

Washington Wizards at Minnesota Timberwolves (3:30 PM ET)
This is the third game of a season-high five-game homestand for the Timberwolves, who have won six straight over Washington at the Target Center. EDGE: T-WOLVES
Minnesota is scoring 5.7 more points per game than last year, but is giving up 5.5 more points per game. EDGE: OVER
The favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings.
Minnesota is 1-6 ATS in their last seven games playing on one days rest.

Sacramento Kings at Indiana Pacers (ESPN | 8 PM ET)

The Kings have scored 100 or more points in four of their last five games. Their opponents, however, have reached the century mark in each of those five games, leaving the Kings with a 1-4 record. EDGE: PACERS & OVER

Vancouver Canucks at Dallas Stars (3:30 PM ET)
The offseason trade that brought goaltender Roberto Luongo to Vancouver from Florida for Todd Bertuzzi couldn't have worked out any better for the Canucks, who have gone 19-3-3 since Christmas to take over the top spot in the Northwest. EDGE: CANUCKS

Washington at Minnesota
The Timberwolves have lost three straight, including back-to-back home losses to Phoenix (116-104) and Charlotte (100-95), to fall to a season-low five games below .500. Topping it off is the fact that Kevin Garnett has voiced his displeasure at Minnesota's not making any moves before the trading deadline expired. Washington has been sluggish without Antawn Jamison, but still had enough to beat the T'wolves by 12 (112-100) on Tuesday behind DeShawn Stevenson's season-high 23 points. Gilbert Arenas also looks to have shaken off his shooting slump as the All-Star has scored 38, 43 and 36 points in his last three games. The Wizards look like a good underdog pick (+4) in this one according to Dunkel, which has Washington favored straight up by 2. Dunkel Pick: Washington (+4). Here are all of today's games.

Vancouver at Dallas
Vancouver comes into the contest having won seven straight behind the solid goaltending of Roberto Luongo, who ranks among the league leaders in wins (35) and save percentage (.922). The Canucks are also getting good offensive production out of captain Markus Naslund, who has five goals and 10 assists over his last 12 games. Overall the Canucks are 19-3-3 since Christmas to move into the top spot in the Northwest. Even against a hot Dallas team (10-3-2 in last 15 games), the Canucks look like a good underdog pick according to Dunkel, which has Vancouver favored straight up by 1.

Louisville at Connecticut
Louisville is putting together a nice stretch run that has seen the Cardinals win four straight, including back-to-back road victories as Pittsburgh and Marquette. Rick Pitino's team avoided the letdown on Wednesday with an easy 72-48 win over St. John's that saw the Cardinal defense hold the Red Storm to just 26.3 percent shooting. The surge has moved Louisville into third place in the Big East standings and a likely NCAA bid that should help erase the memory last year's disappointing NIT bid. The Huskies' future is cloudier as a 6-7 conference record has them struggling just to make the Big East Tournament. Jim Calhoun started three freshmen and two sophomores in their 65-55 win over Rutgers on Wednesday. But the Huskies have not fared as well -- even at home -- against higher-rated teams with losses to Marquette, Indiana and Providence since the first of the year. Louisville looks like a good pick in a Vegas pick 'em game according to Dunkel, which has the Cardinals favored by 7 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Louisville. Here are all of today's games.
