Monday night has a pair of must-see NBA matchups in store for your viewing and betting pleasure.
First, we have a Central Division rivalry showdown between the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, who are both looking to end their respective losing slides. And then, watch out for another big night from Russell Westbrook when his Oklahoma City Thunder play host to the Atlanta Hawks for their final regular-season meeting. Read on below for a quick look at tonight’s best games.
Chicago was booed by its own fans during the loss to Milwaukee on Friday night, which was the second game of a home-and-home series, as well as the Bulls’ third-consecutive loss (0-3 ATS). They collected a season-low of 69 points on 30.4 percent shooting, while their superstar duo of Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade went 8-of-28 combined from the floor. Their next matchup is against a visiting Pistons team that’s coming off back-to-back double-digit losses and is 5-5 SU and ATS in its last 10 road games. Detroit’s also won four of the previous five meetings in this matchup, including a 102-91 win at the Motor City earlier this month.
Russell Westbrook was back to being “Mr. Triple-Double” on Saturday night’s 114-101 home victory over the Suns, finishing with 26 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high 22 assists. That win also snapped OKC’s two-game skid and improved to 11-5 (9-7 ATS) at home this season. The Thunder should add another win tonight against the reeling Hawks, who’ve lost nine of their last 12 games, and especially if Westbrook continues to put up off-the-charts numbers once again. He boasts a league-best 13 triple-double games this season, with OKC’s going 10-3 during that stretch.
