NFL (0.5 Unit) New York Jets Team Total Under 12.5 (+105; Odds via Fanduel): 7:15 PM CT on Prime Video

So you’re telling me the Jets, those Jets, from New York, have a team total of 12.5? Facing a Browns team that leads the league in scoring defense at home? The same Jets squad that’s scoring just 11.8 PPG on the road this season and is starting Trevor Siemian again? And there’s a plus-juice return on the under? Bet.

NBA (0.75 Unit) Detroit Pistons @ Boston Celtics -9.5 First Half (-110; Odds via Caesars): 6:30 PM CT on NBATV

It’s important to keep an eye on the status of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown tonight, but I suspect that they’ll play. The Celtics have had a few days off since their Christmas Day demolition of the Lakers, plus this is an NBATV game. And what team would want to be responsible for ending Detroit’s record-setting losing streak?

That should be all the motivation Boston needs to put up maximum effort tonight. It’s also a best-on-worst matchup here, as the Celtics are the league’s top squad for average first half margin while the Pistons are dead last. A double-digit lead at halftime won’t seem like much if Boston has its best players available tonight.
