San Antonio Spurs at Memphis Grizzlies (-6, 189)

One thing the San Antonio Spurs will not have to worry about Monday is whether its starters got enough rest.

Trailing by 18 points in the third quarter at Dallas on Sunday, coach Gregg Popovich pulled all his starters and watched as the bench scored the final 51 points and forced overtime. The reserves ended up falling just short in the 101-100 setback, dropping the Spurs to 2-8 on the road.

Where San Antonio really seems to struggle away from home is on defense, where it has surrendered an average of 102.3 points versus 89.5 at home. The Spurs will try to correct that discrepancy Monday.

The Grizzlies looked like they were on their way to realizing their preseason potential with a seven-game winning streak earlier this month, but a three-game slide has raised more questions.

Pick: Grizzlies

Detroit Pistons at Milwaukee Bucks (-7, 180.5)

No Andrew Bogut, no problem. The Milwaukee Bucks shocked the Los Angeles Lakers 100-89 on Saturday without their starting center in the lineup.

The Bucks will be without Bogut for at least three months after he suffered a broken ankle against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Drew Gooden stepped into the starting lineup and scored 23 points against Los Angeles.

The Detroit Pistons play the second of a four-game road trip in Milwaukee on Monday. Detroit is 1-9 on the road, including a 95-74 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.

The Pistons are the worst offensive team in the NBA and are scoring only 81.4 points per road game this season. Detroit is 2-6 in its last eight games.

Milwaukee beat visiting Detroit 102-93 on Jan. 12. The teams have split their last 10 meetings.

Pick: Under

Pitt Panthers at West Virginia Mountaineers (-7, 137.5)

You knew things were pretty desperate when Pitt coach Jamie Dixon abandoned his usual man-to-man defense for a zone, but that switch may have turned his club’s season around.

Pitt frustrated Georgetown’s offense in a 72-60 win over the Hoyas on Saturday. The Panthers held Georgetown to 42 percent shooting while winning the battle of the boards 35-23.

"We were aggressive," Lamar Patterson told reporters after scoring 18 points in the win. "We weren't letting them push us around. We just held our ground and really wanted to focus in on defense. We haven't been good on defense all year, basically, so we wanted to show everyone we could play defense."

The Panthers had dropped eight straight games before they downed Providence last week. They still have a lot of work to do, but at least they’re protecting the bucket better.

West Virginia has dropped consecutive games, though the Mountaineers did hang around with the Orange at the Carrier Dome over the weekend.

This one should be tight.

Pick: Panthers

Missouri Tigers at Texas Longhorns (pick 'em, 145.5)

When you can shoot just 39 percent and still come away with a win, you have to feel pretty good.

That’s exactly how the No. 2 Tigers feel after sneaking by Texas Tech on Saturday despite the poor shooting effort.

"We just didn't make shots, even though we had a lot of good looks," Missouri Tigers coach Frank Haith told reporters. "Does it make the game look ugly? I guess when they don't go in, yes. But we still have to find a way to win."

The Tigers failed to cover as 23.5-point favorites, falling to 10-6 against the spread on the year. This Texas team is hard to figure out.

The Longhorns have dropped four of their last five, but played Baylor tough in a 76-71 loss, covering as 7-point underdogs. J’Covan Brown had 32 points and hit four treys, though the rest of the Longhorns are going to have to give him some help to keep this close.

Other than Brown, only Sheldon McClellan averages double digits in scoring.

Pick: Tigers
