Detailed Predictions

UConn (-142) to defeat St. John’s: “I think we’ve got a bit of value in what should be an absolute classic of a Big East matchup Friday in the World’s Most Famous Arena, as UConn might technically be the road team but will feel right at home in ‘Storrs South,’” SportsLine expert Chip Patterson commented.

Pistons (-105) to conquer the Knicks: Despite Detroit’s 126-117 loss to the Wizards, the Pistons have the best record in the East at 37-13, while the Knicks sit tied for second at 33-18. The Pistons, with home court advantage, are anticipated to reverse their previous loss to the Knicks from last season.

Celtics (-5.5) vs. Heat (-115): The Celtics have improved to 33-18 with four consecutive victories. They will host the 11-15 Heat, making them the more favorable option according to the model’s analysis.
