With Zion Williamson sidelined, the Sacramento Kings have a significant advantage in this matchup. The Pelicans will struggle to fill the void left by Williamson's absence, especially against a motivated Kings team fighting for a playoff berth.

Given Jimmy Butler's absence for the Miami Heat, the Chicago Bulls have a significant advantage in this matchup. DeMar DeRozan will lead the Bulls to victory with a stellar performance, securing the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Neither starting pitcher has been particularly dominant this season, with Andrew Heaney and Chris Sale both posting ERAs above 4.50. This suggests that both offenses could find success against the opposing pitchers.

With Verlander potentially not at his best in his first start back, the Nationals have an opportunity to capitalize and put runs on the board early. Their ability to get to Verlander and take advantage of any potential weaknesses in his game could be the deciding factor in this matchup.

Both starting pitchers, Garrett Crochet for the White Sox and Spencer Turnbull for the Phillies, have been solid on the mound. Crochet boasts a respectable 3.57 ERA, while Turnbull has been even more impressive with a 1.80 ERA. Their ability to keep opposing hitters at bay suggests a low-scoring affair.

Both the Hawks and Bulls have shown the ability to score in bunches, and with their playoff hopes on the line, expect a fast-paced game with plenty of scoring opportunities.

Embiid's presence on the court has been transformative for the 76ers, providing them with a dominant inside presence and elevating their overall performance.

Offensively, the Braves boast a formidable lineup led by Marcell Ozuna, capable of capitalizing on France's struggles. With their pitching advantage and potent offense, the Braves are well-positioned to secure a win in this contest.

The Yankees have a significant advantage on the mound with Marcus Stroman, who has been exceptional with his 2.12 ERA. Facing a struggling Kevin Gausman, the Yankees' offense should have opportunities to score runs and provide ample run support for Stroman.

What do you need?

Bayern Munich holds the advantage with their potent attacking lineup and the home support of the Allianz Arena. The recent draw against Arsenal served as a wake-up call, and Bayern will be determined to rectify their performance and secure a decisive win

The Mariners have a clear advantage on the mound with Logan Gilbert, who has been exceptional with his 2.66 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. Facing a struggling Hunter Greene, the Mariners' offense should have opportunities to score runs and provide run support for Gilbert.

The Braves come into the game with momentum, boasting a solid record and a potent lineup led by Marcell Ozuna. With Reynaldo Lopez on the mound, who has been virtually unhittable with his 0.75 ERA, the Braves have a strong chance to shut down the struggling Astros' offense.
