Siena at #3 Pittsburgh [ESPN2 | 9:30 PM ET]

Siena: The Saints have won three in a row following a three-game losing streak, relying on pressure defense to get the job done. They rank 18th in the country in forcing turnovers at 19.4 per game and got Marist to give the ball up 26 times in a 77-60 win. Siena has its top three scorers back from a team that upset Vanderbilt in the first round of last year's NCAA tournament, as Edwin Ubiles, Alex Franklins and Kenny HaXXXouck all average more than 13 points per game.

Siena is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games vs. Big East.
The UNDER is 10-2 in Siena's last 12 games overall.

Key Injuries - F Cory Magee (concussion) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 51

Pitt (-18.5):The Panthers are 10-0 for the sixth straight year and have won all of their games by at least 13 points. That has translated to a 3-1-1 ATS record as well while Siena is 0-3-1 ATS in its last four lined games. Pitt hit 13 shots from 3-point range in a 91-56 rout of Maryland-Baltimore County on Saturday, the team's highest total in almost 12 years. “Usually, we kind of throw it down low, bang it out and grind it out,” Panthers leading scorer Sam Young said. “But we couldn’t really get it down low like we wanted to because they were in a zone. That kind of forced us to shoot the 3 a little bit. We got hot, so we kept it going.”

Pitt is 7-2-1 ATS in its last 10 games overall.
The OVER is 8-3 in Pitt's last 11 home games.

Boston Celtics at Atlanta Hawks [ESPN | 7 PM ET]

Celtics (-4.5, O/U 185.5) (NA): Boston hopes to have leading scorer Paul Pierce available after he injured his left knee in a 100-91 win over Utah on Monday, the team's 15th victory in a row. “It should be all right,” Pierce said. “I put a little weight on it. It didn’t go back that far, so it should be all right.” The Celtics are riding their longest winning streak since a franchise-record 18 in a row during the 1981-82 season thanks in part to the maturation of point guard Rajon Rondo, who totaled a career-high 25 points, nine rebounds and eight assists against the Jazz.

Celtics are 10-5 ATS during their 15-game winning streak.
The OVER is 7-2 in Boston's last 9 games vs. Southeast Division.

Key Injuries - F Paul Pierce (knee) is probable.
G Eddie House (personal) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 97 (OVER - Total Play of the Day)

Hawks: Atlanta has won seven straight home games, going 9-1 at Phillips Arena this season overall. The Hawks also won all three home games against Boston in last year's first-round playoff series. In fact, the home team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings between the teams. Atlanta ended Cleveland's 11-game winning streak with a 97-92 victory on Saturday. “If we continue to take care of our home court, we can put ourselves in good position to get ahead of some of the teams in our division,” Hawks guard Joe Johnson said. “It’s a big advantage (playing at home), especially when the crowd is up to it.”

Home team is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
The OVER is 14-6 in Atlanta's last 20 home games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 92



San Antonio Spurs at New Orleans Hornets

Spurs: San Antonio has won a season-high six straight games and appears to be peaking much earlier than usual. The Spurs are 15-5 following an 0-3 start, including a 6-1 mark in December. “Usually, it takes us a while,” San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich said. “It usually takes us into March and April before we’re really ready to go. I think we’re on the right track for sure.” Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker are averaging a combined 36.3 points and 11.8 assists during the winning streak.

Spurs are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games overall.
The UNDER is 23-9 in San Antonio's last 32 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 94 (Side Play of the Day)

Hornets (-2.5, O/U 187): New Orleans returns home following a 2-1 road trip and will be playing on consecutive nights for the sixth time this season. The Hornets are 1-3-1 ATS when playing without rest this year and will try to erase the memories of last year's second-round playoff loss to the Spurs, who won four of the last five games after falling behind 0-2. The Hornets had won four of the previous five meetings with San Antonio both SU & ATS before dropping four of five in the series.

Home team is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
The UNDER is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

Key Injuries - C Tyson Chandler (neck) has returned.

PROJECTED SCORE: 93
