DETROIT -6- over Brooklyn. That Ron Jeremy look-alike Coach could get fired if he gets swept by Brooklyn twice in a week, and also for the year. Pistons are in a bad funk but have to bring it tonight.

CLEVELAND -5- at Chicago. Stepping out with another slumping team here with the Cavs. They caught a break last night with the Celtics losing at home and need this one for playoff home court advantage.

MINNY -10- over Lakers. LA has no incentive to win, have lost their last 6 road games by 25ppg, and the T-Wolves have revenge from losing to these clowns only a week ago.

PHOENIX +10 against Clippers. The Clips are wildly erratic and are coming off a nice win last night. They won't take this one very seriously and are liable to rest a lot of bodies in this road tilt.

PORTLAND (pick 'em) against Rockets. It's all about incentive. The red-hot Blazers are fighting for a playoff spot while Houston seems to have the 3rd spot nailed down. Also Houston may take it easy tonight with a quick turnaround revenge rematch with the Warriors on deck tomorrow night.

These are all leans so I will play 'em small. Best play is on Detroit.

As always, best of luck
