Best bets for Monday, Feb. 23

The San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons meet Monday in a matchup of two title contenders. The Spurs are still trailing the Thunder in the Western Conference but have been victorious in four of five head-to-head matchups, while the Pistons sit atop the Eastern Conference thanks to Cade Cunningham's production. The guard is averaging 25.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game as he makes his case to be the league MVP. The SportsLine Projection Model has the Pistons winning in 69% of simulations, which is good for an "A" grade.

The Cougars and Jayhawks are both looking to get a big win on Monday when they meet at Allen Fieldhouse. Houston is coming off a loss to Arizona while Kansas got demolished by Cincinnati. More concerning for Kansas fans is the inconsistent availability of Darryn Peterson, who is expected to be a contender for the top pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Even if Peterson does play Monday, the SportsLine model has Houston covering as 1.5-point favorites in 55% of model simulations.
