Detroit Pistons at Chicago Bulls [TNT | 8 PM ET]

Pistons: Detroit will be short-handed in this key meeting with the Bulls, who sit just two games behind in the race for the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons have lost five straight games at Chicago and hope Rodney Stuckey can play better than he did in the last meeting. Stuckey scored a career-high 40 points in a 104-98 win over the Bulls on December 23rd but totaled only 16 in a 107-102 loss on February 20th. Chicago rookie Derrick Rose had 23 points in that victory, and the Bulls are 16-8 when he scores 20 or more this season.

Pistons are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall.
The OVER is 7-1 in Detroit's last 8 games overall.

Key Injuries - G Richard Hamilton (groin) is doubtful.
F Rasheed Wallace (calf) is OUT.
G Allen Iverson (back) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 91

Bulls[-5, O/U 191: Chicago nearly blew a double-digit lead for the second straight game but this time escaped with a 101-99 victory at Washington on Monday. The Bulls had led the Lakers by 14 points on Saturday before suffering a 117-109 loss. “Of course there’s a concern, but the biggest concern is winning and losing,” Chicago head coach Vinny Del Negro said. “That’s what it comes down to. We made enough plays today to win. We were fortunate a little bit at the end, but we got the job done.” The Bulls sit 1.5 games ahead of Charlotte for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Bulls are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games.
The OVER is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.

Key Injuries - F Luol Deng (shin) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 100 (Side Play of the Day)



Houston Rockets at Utah Jazz [TNT | 10:30 PM ET]

Rockets: Houston has once again surprised critics with an outstanding late-season run that has seen the team go 16-4 since losing Tracy McGrady for the season with a knee injury. The Rockets are coming off an impressive 87-85 win at San Antonio on Sunday behind 24 points from Ron Artest. “I would say it’s been a surprising climb to first,” Rockets forward Shane Battier said. “We’ve had so much - just melees this year with all the injuries we’ve had and lineup shuffles and trades. I don’t know that too many people thought we would be here today.”

Road team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
The UNDER is 7-2 in Houston's last 9 games overall.

Key Injuries - F Carl Landry (calf) is OUT.
G Tracy McGrady (knee) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 92 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Jazz (-5, O/U 193): Utah is not only chasing Denver and Portland for the Northwest Division title but also Houston for the #2 seed in the Western Conference playoff race. The Rockets are just 2.5 games ahead of the Jazz, making this a very important game that could ultimately determine where the teams finish. Utah will likely have center Mehmet Okur back for this matchup after he was poked in the eye in Friday's 101-94 victory at Oklahoma City last Friday. “It feels a lot better now but it still isn’t 100 percent,” Okur said. “I’m going to be alright, hopefully.”

Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
The UNDER is 7-2 in last 9 games as a favorite.

Key Injuries - C Mehmet Okur (eye) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 98
