In one of the more star-studded games on today’s slate, the 76ers will travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls.

Detroit Pistons @ Minnesota Timberwolves (3:30 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: MIN -12.5

Total Points: 230.5

Minnesota is finally playing up to their potential this season and are hosting a weaker Detroit team today. Point guards Patrick Beverley (ankle) and D’Angelo Russell (shin) are listed as probable, and that should be enough in itself.

Center Karl-Anthony Towns is in the top-15 in points and rebounds this season and should be able to hold the fort against this weakened Pistons team that has rookie point guard Cade Cunningham (hip) on the injury report as questionable.

Also, expect a lot of points as the T-Wolves could hit over their 127.5 implied points here.

Brooklyn Nets @ Denver Nuggets (3:30 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: DEN -5.5

Total Points: 229.5

The Brooklyn Nets are dealing with a terrible slide right now as they are on a seven-game losing streak entering this game against the Denver Nuggets.

Shooting guard James Harden (hamstring) and power forward Nic Claxton (hamstring) are both questionable for this game. However, if Harden can play up to his standards with all the drama going on, the Nets should be able to win here.

Go with Brooklyn getting +5.5 here, as they should be able to cover here and snap their losing streak. The points should be flying as well as the over hit in 10 of their last 13 games against one another.

Indiana Pacers @ Cleveland Cavaliers (6 p.m.)

The Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks will square off against one another in a battle of draft-day trades between Trae Young and Luka Doncic.

The Hawks won 113-87 at home in their only game this season between each other. Young is third in the NBA in points (27.9) and assists (9.3) this season and should dominate as he is shooting 42.2 percent from three in his last nine games.

New Orleans Pelicans @ Houston Rockets (7 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: NO -5.5

Total Points: 231.5

These teams have both been struggling this season, and New Orleans has been dealing with some injuries as point guard Kira Lewis Jr (knee), point guard Didi Louzada, center Willy Hernangomez (illness), shooting guard Garrett Temple (illness), and power forward Zion Williamson (foot) are all out for the Pelicans, but the combination of Ingram and Josh Hart should score enough to dominate the weaker Rockets team.

Small forward Brandon Ingram has been stepping up a bit in their last two games as he is averaging 24.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, eight assists, 1.5 blocks, and one steal. The defenses have been struggling a bit in the last five games as the Rockets are giving up 123.2 points while the Pelicans are allowing 104.4 points.

Milwaukee Bucks @ Los Angeles Clippers (9 p.m.)

Favored Team and Spread: MIL -5

Total Points: 228

The under hit in each of the previous six road games for the Bucks against teams with winning home records and also in six of the last seven Clippers Sunday games, so go with under 228 points as well.
