    Analysis

    End of a six-game trip for the Lakers on Wednesday, so they figure to be on fumes. They looked a bit tired in a close win last Saturday in Orlando and then very much so in Monday's loss in Detroit. Maybe LeBron James gets this one off after playing 39 minutes in Motown. Luka Doncic has played at least 38 minutes every game this trip. Hey, give him the night off, too. Marcus Smart is doubtful and Rui Hachimura iffy. Looks like the Pacers might try for one game with pretty much everyone who isn't done for the year expected to play in obviously one of the marquee home games of the season. Indiana has covered three straight.

    Picked: Mar 25 @ 8:28am

    Analysis

    Jalen Smith played 26 minutes and hit three three-pointers against the Rockets on Monday. After battling a calf injury, he has played at least 26 minutes in four of his last five games. The one time he didn’t, he logged just 17 minutes in a lopsided loss to the Raptors. With him playing more, he made at least two three-pointers in four of those five games. The 76ers have allowed the eighth-highest three-point shooting percentage in the league over their last 10 games and Smith shoots 40.0% from deep on the road for the season. After making at least two threes in both of his first two meetings with the 76ers, I think he reaches this over Wednesday.

    PTS + AST + REB
    Picked: Mar 25 @ 3:52pm

    Analysis

    Dyson Daniels has faced the Pistons three times, putting up 27, 20, and 33 combined points, assists and rebounds. He's coming off a blowout win in which he played just 24 minutes. This game is expected to be tight, suggesting Daniels will play 30-plus minutes. Jalen Johnson (left shoulder inflammation) is questionable. I expect Johnson to play in this big matchup in Detroit, but if he doesn't then Daniels' usage certainly would go up.

    J. Giddey
    Over 18.5
    -115
    REB + AST
    Picked: Mar 25 @ 4:02pm

    Analysis

    Josh Giddey has averaged 36 minutes over his last 10 games. That helped him average 9.5 rebounds and 11.9 assists a night. In eight of those games, he finished with at least 19 combined rebounds and assists. One time that he didn’t, he just missed with 18 combined in a terrible matchup against the Thunder. The 76ers aren’t as troublesome because they rank 15th in rebounds allowed per game and 24th in assists allowed per game over their last 10 games. In two previous games against them, Giddey had 17 and 27 combined rebounds and assists. I think he shines again.

    Spread
    Picked: Mar 25 @ 5:17pm

    Analysis

    The Chicago Bulls have covered three out of their last four games, and our coming off one of the biggest surprises of the week. They took down the Houston Rockets as a nine point home underdog their last time out. I’ll fade them on the road tonight against a Philadelphia 76ers team that has quietly gained strength with the growth of their reserve starters. Justin Edwards is one of many 76ers players that has shined with roster injuries. Tail Philadelphia as the home favorite.
