Detroit Pistons at Boston Celtics [ABC | 1 PM ET]

Pistons: Judging from Friday's performance at Orlando, Rip Hamilton will likely stay in the starting lineup for the rest of the season. Hamilton scored a game-high 31 points in Detroit's 93-85 upset of the Magic after coming off the bench in the previous 16 games. The Pistons were 4-12 in those games. “It wasn’t something that I felt was added pressure because this is what I do,” Hamilton said . “This is my comfort zone. But it is what it is and we got a win and that was a great thing.”

Pistons are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 Sunday games.
The UNDER is 13-3 in Detroit's last 16 Sunday games.

Key Injuries - G Allen Iverson (back) is day-to-day.

PROJECTED SCORE: 82 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Celtics (-9.5, O/U 180): Two lottery picks from the 1996 draft could very well be the difference in this game. Ray Allen has averaged 26 points on nearly 59 percent shooting from the field in the last four games while new addition Stephon Marbury scored eight points off the bench in his first game with the team on Friday, resulting in a 104-99 win over Indiana. “I think I was just so happy to be out there playing and happy to be out there playing with those guys,” Marbury said. “I was tired but my legs were heavy. In the fourth quarter I found some energy. It went the way I was praying for it to go.”

Celtics are 17-7 ATS in their last 24 Sunday games.
The UNDER is 14-3 in the last 17 meetings.

Los Angeles Lakers at Phoenix Suns [ESPN | 3:30 PM ET]

Lakers: (-4, O/U 236.5) LA will be facing Phoenix for the second time in four days, and it remains to be seen whether or not Suns point guard Steve Nash will return to the court after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. The Lakers were able to push the pace without Nash playing on Thursday, opening up a 39-26 lead after the first quarter en route to a 132-106 victory. However, they saw their six-game winning streak come to an end the next day at Denver in a 90-79 loss. The team shot less than 30 percent from the field for just the second time since moving to LA.

Lakers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games.
The OVER is 8-1 in LA's last 9 games vs. Pacific Division.

Key Injuries - C Andrew Bynum (knee) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 122 (Side Play of the Day)

Suns: Phoenix center Shaquille O'Neal is coming off his best game since playing for the Lakers nearly six years ago. O'Neal made 20-of-25 shots and scored a season-high 45 points in a 133-113 rout of Toronto on Friday to help the Suns bounce back from a loss at LA on Thursday. “If I can get the touches like that, it doesn’t matter who is down there,” O'Neal said. “They’re going to have to double or triple me down there. If they don’t, especially with the way I’m shooting free throws, they will have to pay.”

Suns are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
The OVER is 7-1 in Phoenix's last 8 games overall.

Key Injuries - PG Steve Nash (ankle) is day-to-day.
C Amare Stoudemire (eye) it OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 114



Cleveland Cavaliers at Atlanta Hawks [ESPN | 8 PM ET]

Cavs (-4, O/U 189.5): LeBron James will look to follow up an outstanding performance against the Spurs on Friday when he faces the Hawks. James bounced back from a terrible outing in a loss at Houston on Thursday by scoring 31 points and grabbing 14 rebounds in a 97-86 victory at San Antonio a day later even though he sat out the entire fourth quarter. “That’s the best thing about the NBA,” James said. “You can play as bad as you ever played one night and the NBA schedule allows you to make up for it the next night.”

Cavs are 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings at Atlanta.
The UNDER is 8-2 in Cleveland's last 10 games vs. Eastern Conference.

Key Injuries - C Ben Wallace (leg) is OUT.
F Sasha Pavlovic (ankle) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 97

Hawks: Atlanta broke an 11-game winning streak for Cleveland the last time the teams met back on December 13th. This time, the Hawks will simply be looking to win back-to-back games for the first time since February 11th. Al Horford has scored more than 20 points in consecutive games for the first time in his career, and the Hawks are 8-1 when he scores at least 15 this season. “We went to him and utilized him more, and coming down the stretch, that’s something that we are going to have to continue to do,” said Atlanta head coach Mike Woodson.

Hawks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. Central Division.
The OVER is 17-5-1 in Atlanta's last 23 games vs. Central Division.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 93

#8 Missouri at #15 Kansas [CBS | 2 PM ET]

Missouri: The Tigers were able to pull off an amazing comeback the last time they faced Kansas, sneaking out a 62-60 victory. They rallied back from a 14-point deficit after scoring just 16 points in the first half. The key to that victory was turnovers, as Mizzou ranks second in the country in steals with an average of 10.9 per game. The Tigers have already totaled a school-record 304 steals in 28 games. “They turned us over 27 times,” Kansas center Cole Aldrich said. “And that’s two games worth plus a little more for us, in just one game. It’s a tough pressure whether we’re in Columbia or in Lawrence. They were really relentless throughout the whole game. It was tough. It definitely can wear teams out.”

Missouri is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games overall.
The UNDER is 3-1 in Missouri's last 4 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 73

Kansas (-4.5, O/U 150): The Jayhawks blame themselves for losing at Missouri back on February 9th and have responded by winning four straight since then. The defending national champs are going for their fifth straight Big 12 championship despite that loss and find themselves atop the conference standings with a stellar 12-1 mark. “I thought we gave that game away,” Kansas guard Sherron Collins said. “I’m not mad at them. I’m more frustrated with ourselves. We had the game in our hands and we let it slip away. We practically gave it to them by turning it over and making dumb mistakes late in the game. It’s a (rematch) we’re looking forward to.”

Kansas is 15-3-1 ATS in its last 19 games vs. Big 12.
The UNDER is 7-2 in Kansas' last 9 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 77
