Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons [ESPN | 7 PM ET]

Celtics (-5, O/U 185.5): Boston is looking for its 10th straight victory and has reserve guard Eddie House to thank for a hot shooting streak. House has made 22-of-32 shots from 3-point range (69 percent) in the last four games, averaging 19 points per game. The Celtics have won those games by an average of 17 points, and a couple of House's teammates believe he should be participating in All-Star Game festivities. “He needs to be in the 3-point contest,” Boston forward Kevin Garnett said. “That’s what this press conference is about: Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are here to say that we think Eddie House needs to be in the 3-point contest.”

Celtics are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings at Detroit.
The UNDER is 7-2 in Boston's last 9 Friday games.

Key Injuries - F Brian Scalabrine (head) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 97 (Side Play of the Day)

Pistons: Detroit has not enjoyed much success against Boston since the Celtics acquired Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen before last season. The Pistons have dropped eight of 11 meetings, including four of the last five at home. They will be trying to win back-to-back games for only the second time since January 4th after beating Minnesota 98-89 on Wednesday. "Like I said, it’s determination," Detroit center Rasheed Wallace said. "We’re determined and we definitely have to put our foot on the gas coming into All-Star break and we’re just going to have to drive forward.”

Pistons are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
The UNDER is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings.

Key Injuries - G Richard Hamilton (groin) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 89



Golden State Warriors at New Orleans Hornets [ESPN | 9:30 PM ET]

Warriors: Golden State was held below 100 points for the first time in 15 games on Wednesday in a 117-93 loss at Dallas. The Warriors own one of the league's top offenses with 107 points per game but also have the worst defense (111.8 ppg). They trailed the Mavs 69-47 at halftime and never recovered. “I think the biggest problem today was effort,” Golden State swingman Stephen Jackson said. “I just wished we would’ve gone down fighting. We didn’t do anything on defense to get them out of their comfort zone and they just made all their shots.”

Warriors are 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 road games.
The UNDER is 4-1 in Golden State's last 5 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 100 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Hornets(-9.5, O/U 215): New Orleans got a huge boost from its bench in a 94-81 win over Denver on Wednesday. The Hornets' bench ranks just 27th in the NBA with 25.3 points per game but erupted for 42 against the Nuggets. Devin Brown led the reserves with 18, helping overcome the loss of David West (back) and Tyson Chandler (ankle) to injuries. “Sometimes there’s nights like that and we had to do other things,” New Orleans forward James Posey said. “Chris (Paul) was still creating for other guys. Peja (Stojakovic) and then Devin came in and played big for us as well. We worked a little harder on the defensive end and were able to get stops and rebounds and push the ball a little bit.”

Hornets are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games vs. Pacific Division.
The UNDER is 9-2 in New Orleans' last 11 home games.

Key Injuries - F David West (back) is questionable.
G Morris Peterson (foot) is day-to-day.
C Tyson Chandler (ankle) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 109
