The Knicks are 10-9 against sides above .500 this season, and that mixed return suggests they shouldn’t be favourites away to a Detroit Pistons side who top the Eastern Conference with a 26-9 record. Detroit are 9-4 against sides with winning records and 12-3 at home this season, so they can edge this battle at the top of the East standings.

Chicago have been a good watch on the road, with 10 of their first 16 away games going over the total. The Bulls have won their last four away games, but they conceded 123, 150, 125, and 126 points in each of those victories. Their previous five trips have featured at least 245 points, while they face a Celtics side that just scored 146 points in a win over the Clippers.

The Suns have a great record against the spread this season, but they’ve struggled to match the Houston Rockets. Houston won 114-92 in their first meeting and 117-98 when the pair met last month. The Rockets have won 10 of their last 11 home games, and when you consider that this is a revenge game for Kevin Durant after his summer move from Phoenix to Houston, the hosts should be able to record a commanding win.

The Trail Blazers have won four of their last five games, and they meet a Utah side who are beginning to worry about their draft prospects after a better than expected season to date. The Jazz have still lost 22 of 34 games, with a point differential of -7.1. Portland have put themselves in the Play-In spots thanks to a winning record against sides below .500, so they’re backed to cover this line having improved since their 136-134 win over the Jazz in October.
