Play: Milwaukee +4.5 -105
Time: 3:30 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The Bucks have won seven straight at home and nine of their last 10 overall. On Dec. 26 they beat the Hawks 107-77 at Atlanta. The Hawks are 3-4 in February and are giving up 102.9 ppg over that stretch. They committed 23 turnovers and shot 33% in their last game, a 105-80 home loss to Toronto. Milwaukee holds opponents to a lower shooting percentage, is better on the offensive glass, records more steals and blocks and has the deeper bench. And newcomer Miles Plumlee, acquired from Phoenix at the trading deadline, could make
his debut.
Play: Washington -1 -105
Time: 3:30 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The Wizards took the first meeting this season 107-103, but Brandon Jennings was a big reason why Detroit kept that one close. Jennings, who has since been lost for the season with a ruptured ACL, had 32 points and 10 assists in that contest at Washington. Detroit is 11-18 at home. At the trading deadline it dealt two of its starters (Kyle Singler and D.J. Augustin). The Wizards shoot better and defend shots better and they have advantages in free-throw shooting and rebounding.
Record: 291-210-11 (58.1%)
