NBA referees today: Who are the referees for Monday's contests, what are their foul stats?

After a weekend headlining March Madness' Elite 8 round, it's time we turn our eyes back toward the NBA. Monday evening offers an eight-game slate, headlined by two games on NBA TV (Mavericks vs. Pacers at 7 p.m. ET and 76ers vs. Nuggets at 9:30 p.m. ET). Before surveying your catalog of potential bets for this evening, it can be helpful to know which officials are assigned to which games, as the whistles can substantially the dictate on-floor action.

All referee stats come courtesy of NBA Stuffer and odds are courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

Milwaukee Bucks (-13) vs. Detroit Pistons referees

The home team wins 62.1% of the time in Blair's games as chief, but the Pistons are tanking so this might be a time to bet against the percentage.

Dallas Mavericks (-4) vs. Indiana Pacers referees

This is a 50-50 game but Luka Doncic will be back in for the Mavericks and that likely tips the scales in Dallas' favor. The Mavs had had a tough run in with officiating lately.

Houston Rockets vs. New York Knicks (-13.5) referees

The Knicks should be able to take care of a struggling Rockets unit irrespective of officiating.

Phoenix Suns (-7) vs. Utah Jazz referees

The Suns should be able to handle a tanking Jazz team regardless of the officiating.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Denver Nuggets (-7.5) referees

The home team wins 63% of the time in Fraher's games as crew chief, and the Nuggets look like a good pick with Joel Embiid ruled out.

New Orleans Pelicans (-11) vs. Portland Trail Blazers referees

The Blazers have thrown in the towel, so New Orleans should be good for this game no matter how the officiating goes.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Sacramento Kings (-4.5) referees

The average total in Wright's games as crew chief is 229.8, so the under could be an option on one of the higher numbers on Monday's slate.

Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) referees

Williams averages 37.7 fouls per game as crew chief, so there might be a lot of free throws here.
