ANALYSIS: Both the Hawks and Knicks come off a win and cover Tuesday, but the Knicks got to sleep on their own pillows while the Hawks had to travel. The Hawks have won and covered their last two, while the Knicks have won seven straight and covered 10 straight. The Knicks are playing at their highest level right now, anchored by having the league's No. 1-ranked defense.

ANALYSIS: The Twins come in with a three-game losing streak and losses in eight of their last nine. The A’s have won 10 straight and they do it in a variety of ways. One game is about the starting pitcher, the next a clutch hit from an unlikely source, another is the bullpen, and perhaps a game-saving defensive play. On Tuesday, it was two shutouts in the double-header, 7-0 and 1-0. Fun ballclub. The A’s keep winning Wednesday.

ANALYSIS: Both starters are making their fourth outing, with their teams going 2-1 behind them. Brandon Woodruff has a 2.12 ERA, with two of his starts staying Under. Joe Musgrove has a 0.47 ERA, a no-hitter, and all three of his starts have stayed Under. Woodruff also has an active streak of staying Under in nine straight games against winning teams.

ANALYSIS: The Bulls ended their five-game losing streak on Saturday by beating Cleveland without Zack LaVine (COVID-19), who will be out Monday as well. The Celtics are expected to have both Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jaylen Brown (illness) in the lineup as they go for their seventh win in a row and fifth straight cover. However, Marcus Smart and Kemba Walker are both questionable due to illnesses. The Celtics finally are in a groove and will get the cover.

ANALYSIS: Is Joe Ross someone we can trust? After two outings and a great spring, the answer is closer to yes. He shut the Dodgers down in five innings of a 1-0 loss and then came back in his second start to shut down the Cardinals 6-0 in six innings of work. Jack Flaherty’s last two starts have been business as usual -- four hits, one earned run, and 12 K’s over 11 innings. The Under is the top play Monday.
