After 24 games in the weekend, the NBA continues tonight with another six matchups. We will have both conferences’ #2 seed playing and the playoff implications for today’s slate can determine more teams clinching their spots. It’s time for the NBA Monday preview, with odds and predictions for the matches.

Chicago Bulls (33-37) @ Philadelphia 76ers (48-22) – 7:00 PM

Starting off our NBA Monday preview we have East #2, the Philadelphia 76ers, hosting the Chicago Bulls trying to clinch a playoff spot. Also, they are trying to get their ninth win in a row. If they win, they are in, and because of that, they are favourites by 8.5 points in the game.

  • Spread: CHI Bulls +8.5/PHI 76ers -8.5
  • Over/under: 225 points
  • Pick: PHI 76ers -8.5 and over 225.0

Dallas Mavericks (36-35) @ Memphis Grizzlies (43-27) – 8:00 PM

The second game of the list is the Memphis Grizzlies, West's #3 seed, hosting the Dallas Mavericks. While the home team needs the victory to get closer to the playoffs, the visitors want to avoid the play-in tournament. Both teams come from two straight wins but the Grizzlies are favourites by 4.5 points to get the third victory.

  • Spread: DAL Mavericks +4.5/MEM Grizzlies -4.5
  • Over/under: 227.5 points
  • Pick: DAL Mavericks +4.5 and over 227.5

Sacramento Kings (43-27) @ Utah Jazz (34-36) – 9:00 PM

To wrap up our preview we have West’s #2 visiting the Utah Jazz. The Sacramento Kings won their last three games and need the fourth to stay in second and keep chasing the Nuggets for the #1 seed. Oh, and also get closer to their playoff spot. The Kings are favourites by 6.5 points.

  • Spread: SAC Kings -6.5/UTA Jazz +6.5
  • Over/under: 238.5 points
  • Pick: SAC Kings -6.5 and over 238.5
