There's a short three-game slate in the NBA on Monday, Feb. 23, but fans might potentially be getting a Finals preview with the San Antonio Spurs visiting the Detroit Pistons. The Spurs have won eight in a row and although they are behind the Thunder in the Western Conference, San Antonio has had OKC's number during the regular season. The Pistons sit atop the Eastern Conference and are on a five-game winning streak, most recently knocking off the Chicago Bulls 126-110.

Pistons vs. Knicks same-game parlay picks
- Pistons money line
- Under 232.5
- Victor Wembanyama Under 35.5 points + rebounds
Pistons money line
Detroit wins in 70% of model simulations, which is good for an "A" grade. The Pistons are 21-6 at home this season and have won five in a row, so they've got good momentum heading into Monday's clash. Even though the Spurs have won eight in a row, they are 18-10 on the road as opposed to 21-6 at home.
Under 232.5
The Spurs are sixth in points per game and the Pistons aren't far behind in eighth. San Antonio is also sixth in offensive rating while Detroit ranks ninth. So why is the model backing the Under, which hits in 68.1% of simulations? These are two of the best defensive teams in the league, with Detroit ranking second in defensive rating and San Antonio coming in third. On the season, the Spurs are 24-33 to the Over and the Pistons are 24-30-1 to the Over.
Victor Wembanyama Under 35.5 points + rebounds
It's tough to suggest any sort of Under for Wembanyama, who has shown he can explode offensively at any moment. The Pistons do have some size in the frontcourt to slow him down, even with Isaiah Stewart still out due to a suspension. Wembanyama has actually gone Under this particular line in four of his last five games and although he's coming off a 28-point, 15-rebound showing against the Kings, the SportsLine props is looking at the bigger trend. It projects him for 30.3 points + rebounds on Monday.
