This season has to be a huge disappointment for the Pistons. In an Eastern Conference that is not very good they still couldn’t crack the playoffs even though they made significant adjustments to the team in the offseason.

Philadelphia (18-63) has had a season to forget. And after posting the second worst record in the NBA, will look forward to getting one of the top picks in the NBA draft.
The 76ers are just 8-32 on the road this season going 3-7 in their last 10, which included a 113-108 win over the Boston Celtics on Monday, behind favorite to win Rookie of the Year, Michael Carter-Williams’ 21 points, 14 rebounds and six assists

Carter-Williams is on fire as of late, shooting at least 50 percent from the field in six of his last eight games.
Meanwhile, the two-time defending champion Heat, will face either the Washington Wizards or Charlotte Bobcats in the first round of the playoffs, meaning this contest has no bearing on anything for them. So it is doubtful that they will play many of their starters — at least very much.

Miami (54-27)rested LeBron James in Monday’s loss to the Wizards, while Dwyane Wade played just 18 minutes, before joining his fellow starters on the bench. Wade, who is working his way back from a hamstring injury, is expected to play Wednesday, however.
The Heat also rested Chris Bosh against Washington, as Miami lost its fifth of its last seven games. The Heat trailed by as many as 36 points in the loss, despite a great performance from veteran all star Ray Allen
The Sixers and Heat have split two meetings this season, including an upset by Philadelphia in its home opener on Oct. 30.
In that one, the Sixers led the Heat by as much as 19 points, holding on for a 114-110 win behind Carter-Williams’ 22 points, 12 assists and nine steals. Nevertheless, Miami has won its last 10 home games versus Philadelphia.
While Philadelphia has little to play for here, they should catch a break, as the Heat will be more interested in preparing their players for the postseason with a little rest.
Because of the unsure status of who will be playing though, I think the safe play here is on the over/under, once it is released.
Heat 101, Nets 94
The Nuggets are 39-41 ATS with an O/U record of 39-41 and the Clippers are 45-34-1 ATS with an O/U record of 42-37-1. This season the Clippers are 33-7 at home and the Nuggets are 14-26 on the road.

The Milwaukee Bucks will make the trip north of the border to the Air Canada Centre for a date with the Toronto Raptors on Monday.
The Spurs are 45-35 ATS with an O/U record of 44-35-1 and the Rockets are 39-39-2 ATS with an O/U record of 44-34-2. This season the Rockets are 32-8 at home and the Spurs are 30-10 on the road.
The Timberwolves are out of the playoffs so you have to wonder how high their motivation will be, especially playing the second game of a back to back so far from home.
The New York Knicks will continue their chase for the playoffs on Friday by making a trip north of the border, where they will take on the Toronto Raptors, who themselves are jockeying for position in the Eastern Conference standings.
The 76ers are putting the finishing touches on a supremely bad season but unless something dramatic happens they still won’t finish with the worst record in the league.
