Odds Analysis
The Detroit Pistons are one of the hottest teams in the NBA, as they have won three straight games and eight of their past 10. Detroit has moved quickly up the standings in the East and are hoping to win a series or two in the postseason. The Pistons are at home on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls. Some may expect to the Pistons to cool off but it won’t happen in this one. Detroit is not only the choice to win this game but to cover the spread as well.
The Toronto Raptors are hoping to track down the Bucks for the top seed in the East but will need to play really well down the stretch to have a shot. The Raptors are on the road on Sunday in a matchup with the Miami Heat. This is a critical game for Miami as well, because it is clinging to the final playoff spot in the East. Toronto is the better team but look for the Heat to come away with a close win at home. Miami will likely be a slight underdog, so roll with it on the moneyline.
The Pacers-76ers showdown will be shown on ABC. They are right next to each other in the standings and the winner of this game could have the inside edge at capturing the No. 3 seed in the East. Philadelphia may not have star center Joel Embiid, as he has missed eight consecutive games with a knee injury. Indiana has surpassed expectations all year but it will not have the horses to keep up in this game as it is on the road. The 76ers are the choice to win the game and also cover the spread.
The Golden State Warriors have an easy game on Sunday as they host the woeful Phoenix Suns. The Suns have actually won three straight games but don’t have the ability to hang with powerful Golden State. The Warriors should be substantial favorites, but the spread could be too big. Golden State will win this game easily but take its foot off the gas late to allow the Suns to pull the backdoor cover.

Those are some interesting games and there are clear ways on which to bet them. However, there is another one that stands out when it comes to betting on Sunday’s NBA action. The Milwaukee Bucks are going on the road to face off against the San Antonio Spurs in a game that figures to be a competitive showdown.
Milwaukee plays at home on Saturday so this is a tough scheduling quirk. Fatigue could be a factor, and the Spurs have been awfully good at home this year. For those reasons, many bettors are going to back San Antonio. However, if the Bucks are slight underdogs in this one they are the right choice because their talent should overwhelm the Spurs.
This is not an easy game but Milwaukee is a dominant team and should pick up a huge victory over San Antonio in NBA gambling.
