The Sixers have the advantage in this one, in my opinion. Embiid presents a significant challenge for the Heat to overcome. Since his comeback, he has been incredibly healthy and has a sizable advantage against Adebayo in the paint.

The Bulls may be in for a difficult night if Young is performing at his peak, since he is now playing in his fourth game back after being injured. The Hawks have an athletic, offensive-minded tandem in Young and Dejounte Murray to take on the Bulls.

The Red Wings are playing for a postseason position, and I believe that they will be in control in this game played on home ice. The Canadiens allow 3.40 goals per game, thus the Red Wings, who score 3.33 goals per game on average, should have no trouble finding the back of the net.

The Lightning defense should cause turnovers in the defensive zone and restrict shots on goal to help the Lightning contain the Sabres attack, which scores just 2.96 goals per game on average.

In Kyle Dubas' first season as general manager, the Penguins have battled terribly, and it's difficult to put a lot of faith in a team that raised so many expectations only to fall short of expectations consistently.

The Devils have dropped their last four games as well as their last four at home. They have only scored seven goals in their last three home games due to offensive struggles.

Although the Caps are a tough club, you have to question if their six-game losing streak was just too much to overcome. Boston is a seasoned squad that has played in many important games.

In this matchup between two teams headed in different directions, the Warriors should be able to win and cover the spread. The fact that Golden State has performed well on the road this season is definitely helpful.

Without Huerter and Monk, Sacramento has lost three of their past four games and hasn't been the same club. Malik Monk proved crucial to the Kings in the final moments, leaving Fox as the only person who can create shots on the perimeter.

Given the likelihood that Markkanen, Clarkson, or Collins won't play anymore this season, the Jazz will probably stick with their young lineup. Houston had an opportunity to be in the running for the playoffs, but they lost five straight games and were eliminated.

Boston has already secured the top slot in the Eastern Conference, while the Knicks are battling for the best possible position in the playoff standings. In light of this, it becomes a little unclear why Porzingis and Horford are currently designated as game-time choices.

Philly still has perimeter players like Hield and Oubre who can step up and score even without Maxey. Oubre has been very effective lately, scoring at least 25 points in each of his previous two games, showing that he is happy with his increased role.

New York won't be able to keep up in this one without a reliable second scorer, and the Kings have the length to slow down Brunson. In two straight games, the Kings have covered the spread.

The Rockets' offense is not nearly as good as the Warriors', but they still have a more than competitive defense and are a far superior offensive club.

When these teams last faced off, the Clippers prevailed against the Nuggets, ending Denver's eight-game winning streak versus Los Angeles. Denver has won 17 of their last 21 games, demonstrating their outstanding play.
