Just one Friday night play from me.....

2* CHICAGO +8.5 over Detroit

Divisional home favorites of -4 or more pts that are playing a 5th game in 6 days are just 11-31 ATS since 1995 if their opponent today is on exactly 1 days rest. The Pistons are also just 4-9 ATS since the start of last season when home off back-to-back road contests, and in recent years they have not been a reliable home favorite in divisional games going just 5-13 ATS in that role last 18. Take the points here with Chicago.

I will be on 1 game for 2*

2* PHILADELPHIA over NY Knicks

Sixers aren't exactly one of my play on teams in this situation, so that's why just a 2*. Knicks allow 105 on the road and 46.7% shooting. The home team in this series is 19-7 ATS. In the Sixers last 4 home games vs the Knicks they have won by 20, 21, 19 and 15. The Knicks are 20-41 ATS off an ATS win, 18-38 ATS vs a <.400 opp, 15-37 ATS as dogs of less than 5 points, and 5-21 ATS as road dogs of less than 5 points. Knicks only win on the road so far has been against a Kidd-less Nets team. Think the Sixers get the W tonight.
