Brooklyn Nets vs. Indiana Pacers
Matchup Page: Brooklyn Nets vs. Indiana Pacers, 7 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brooklyn Nets | +12.5 (-110) | +560 | O 227.5 (-108) |
| Indiana Pacers | -12.5 (-110) | -800 | U 227.5 (-112) |
Pick: Brooklyn Nets ATS +12.5
The 12.5-point spread is the largest number the Indiana Pacers have been favored by in a game all season. They're taking on a Brooklyn Nets team that had won three in a row SU before falling to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
In games in which the Pacers have been favored by double digits, the team has accumulated a record of 4-2 both SU and against the spread, but there was only one such game in the month of March in which that was the case. Brooklyn, on the other hand, has successfully covered just once in six attempts when serving as a double-digit underdog, but that lone cover did come just a few weeks ago after having avoided such a spread since Valentine's Day.
Indiana hasn't played since Friday, so it's clearly the more rested side heading into this clash. Still, it's such a massive spread and Brooklyn has found some semblance of success as of late, even though they did lose to the Pacers by 21 points on March 16 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Memphis Grizzlies Vs. Detroit Pistons
Matchup Page: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Detroit Pistons, 7 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memphis Grizzlies | +2.5 (-112) | +116 | O 215.5 (-110) |
| Detroit Pistons | -2.5 (-108) | -136 | U 215.5 (-110) |
Pick: Memphis Grizzlies ML
Scraping the bottom of the barrel here with two of the most irrelevant teams in the Association, the Memphis Grizzlies will receive our bode of confidence here based solely on the more profitable moneyline.
Each team is depleted beyond belief, but now the Detroit Pistons may be without Cade Cunningham as he's currently listed as questionable for potential left knee injury management. Recapping the Grizzlies' laundry list of injuries is futile as they've been running a skeleton crew for most of the year.
A victory over Memphis would mark just the fourth time this season that Detroit would have won back-to-back games. That +116 ML is screaming at bettors to put money down on the Grizzlies, though, so with so many of Monday's games having monster spreads, let's take a chance on Memphis and earn more profit.
Atlanta Hawks Vs. Chicago Bulls
Matchup Page: Atlanta Hawks vs. Chicago Bulls, 8 p.m. ET
| Team | Spread | Money | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atlanta Hawks | +2.5 (-108) | +116 | O 223 (-110) |
| Chicago Bulls | -2.5 (-112) | -136 | U 223 (-110) |
Pick: OVER 223 Total Points
The OVER has been incredibly friendly to both the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls as of late, likely due to them ranking eighth and ninth in the NBA in points scored over the last 10 games, respectively.
The total has hit OVER in seven-straight games for the Hawks, and seven of the last 10 for the Bulls.
They've also hit the OVER of 223 total points in both of their earlier meetings, as well, so it's easy to see why we're running with another OVER play here.
