Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks (-2.5, 193)
The New York Knicks need to turn things around – and quickly – in the wake of a disastrous four-game road trip.
Here's all one needs to know about New York's defense: Despite hitting their first 11 shots and shooting nearly 60 percent in the first half, the Knicks trailed by 15 points in the fourth quarter before a dramatic rally fell short in a 118-114 loss at Milwaukee on Friday.
New York hopes to get center Tyson Chandler (hamstring) back in the lineup after surrendering 119 and 118 points in the last two.
After failing to reach 100 points for 19 games, the Sixers have done it in back-to-back contests and three times in the last five.
Pick: Over +++
Memphis Grizzlies at Denver Nuggets (-6, 202)
Perhaps the 2011 run by Memphis wasn't a fluke after all. The Grizzlies, who upset San Antonio in the first round last year then took Oklahoma State to seven games, are catching fire.
They have won five in a row overall (4-1 ATS) as of Saturday evening and nine of their last 10 (6-4 ATS). They are 3-1 (2-2 ATS) in their last four road games. And they are still doing it without Zach Randolph, who is slated to return later this month.
Rudy Gay has scored in double-figures in 18 consecutive games for Memphis and he has double-doubles in two of his last three. Marc Gasol has reached double-figures in scoring in 14 straight contests and he has double-doubles in five of his last eight.
Denver has been solid of late as well, winning five of its last six games (4-2 ATS). However, the Nuggets have been unspectacular at home of late. Prior to a 110-97 win over Golden State on Friday, they edged Sacramento 119-116 in overtime and lost to Cleveland 100-99.
