The Detroit Pistons almost always find themselves as major underdogs, but the team isn't in that spot at home against a struggling Brooklyn Nets team that is just 9-19 straight up on the road.

Detroit is 13-15-1 against the spread at home this season while Brooklyn is just 8-13 ATS on the road. Neither side is attractive to bet on tonight.

The Indiana Pacers are one of the best home teams in the NBA this season, going 17-13-2 against the spread, but this game features a major clash of styles.

The No. 2 offense (Indiana) is taking on the No. 1 defense (Minnesota) in this one. I wouldn't be shocked to see this game go OVER the total, as the Pacers are 20-12 on the OVER at home and the Timberwolves are 18-13 on the OVER on the road.

This is the first meeting between Dallas and Miami this season, but there is a key trend that could lead to betting on Miami here.

The Heat are 13-7 ATS as a road underdog this season, one of the best marks in the NBA. Meanwhile, Dallas is below average as a home favorite, going 9-12 ATS on the season.

The Toronto Raptors were blown out in their last game, and now they are on the road against a Phoenix Suns team that is just 13-14-1 ATS as a home favoritte, but it upset the Denver Nuggets in Denver on Tuesday.

Toronto comes into this game with a 13-11-1 ATS record as a road dog, but it is 16-8-1 on the OVER in those games.

Boston lost outright on the road to the Cleveland Cavaliers -- blowing a huge lead in that game. That moved the team to 19-10 straight up on the road, and now it takes on a Denver team that is 24-6 straight up at home.

This spread should be close, so Denver may be the bet here -- especially since the team is coming off a home loss. The Nuggets are 13-6 straight up after a loss this season.

This is the second night of a back-to-back for both teams.

In that spot this season, Golden State is 8-4-1 ATS (third best in the NBA) while the Bulls are 5-5 ATS. Don't be shocked if the Warriors handle business at home -- even though they've struggled as home favorites this season.

Chicago is an average 11-11 ATS as a road underdog.

This is the second night of a back-to-back for the Kings, who are just 3-6 ATS in that spot this season.

The Spurs are looking to bounce back from a road loss to Houston, but the team is just 15-18 ATS as a road dog.
