Here are Today’s NBA Picks:

BET OF THE DAY:

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Detroit Pistons

Since the 2016-17 NBA season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a 16-40-1 against the spread record in night games during January. (Stat courtesy of Statschecker)

The Detroit Pistons will look to rebound after back-to-back losses to the Memphis Grizzlies and the Brooklyn Nets. On Saturday night, Derrick Rose finished with a team-high 27 points to go with six assists and four rebounds for the Pistons in a 121-111 loss to Brooklyn. Andre Drummond added 20 points and 21 rebounds for Detroit.

This will be the fourth and final meeting of the season between the Cavaliers and Pistons. Detroit won two of the previous three meetings, including two victories over the Cavs in Cleveland. Drummond and Rose will look to continue to lead the Pistons.

Take Detroit minus the 6.5 points in this matchup.

2u – Pistons (-6.5) @ -105

San Antonio Spurs @ Chicago Bulls

Sacramento Kings @ Minnesota Timberwolves

Since the 2011-12 NBA season, the Sacramento Kings have a 13-17 against the spread record against the Minnesota Timberwolves. (Stat courtesy of Statschecker)

The Minnesota Timberwolves are just dying for a win here at home against the Sacramento Kings.

About a month ago, the Timberwolves had lost 11 straight games before eventually coming away with a win over the Kings. Look for Minnesota to finally rebound at home in this one.

Take the Wolves minus the three points here.
