01-01-22 | Warriors +5.5 v. Jazz | Top | 123-116 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the GOLDEN ST. WARRIORS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. This game sets up very similar for Golden St. with its game against Phoenix on Christmas. It is not often you see Golden St. as an underdog this big but here the Warriors are. Golden St. is coming off a loss to Denver but has won six of eight and eight of 11 games and they still have in the NBA Pacific Division. The Warriors lead Phoenix by a half-game and they now possess the best record in the NBA. Obviously, Steph Curry has been the main focal point of the Warriors success, but they rely on balance after that and the return of Andrew Wiggins provides more offensive pop. The offense remains potent as they are ranked No. 8 in scoring offense and No. 5 in shooting offense while the defense is still the top ranked unit in the league. The Warriors are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Utah is coming off a win over Minnesota on Friday to make it six straight wins but the opposition was below average as the best win came against Dallas at homer by four points. Utah is 26-9 overall and has actually been better on the road with a 12-3 record while going just 14-6 at home. The Jazz are the highest scoring team in the NBA and they are No. 1 in shooting offense while sitting at No. 6 from behind the arc and while the defense is not quite at that level, they are No. 8, No. 8 and No. 3 in those categories respectively so they are an all-around solid team but are overvalued here. The Jazz are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against favorites after scoring 120 points or more two straight games going up against an opponent after scoring 43 points or less in the first half last game. this situation is 44-17 ATS (72.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (557) Golden St. Warriors |

12-31-21 | Bulls v. Pacers +3.5 | Top | 108-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Chicago has won five straight games to move to 22-10 overall and it now sits in second place in the Eastern Conference, one game behind Brooklyn but it is also only 2.5 games out of fourth place. The Bulls are a solid 10-6 on the road but they are just 1-2 over their last three on the highway with the lone win coming against Atlanta. They remain shorthanded with seven players on the NBA health and safety protocol list including Lonzo Ball who has made an immediate impact for Chicago in his first year with the team. They have been one of the better offensive teams, ranking No. 8 in points scored and No. 3 in shooting offense but their defense remains a very average unit. Indiana has lost two straight games and is now seven games under. 500 for the season. The Pacers have been one of the worst road teams in the league where they are 3-13 but they are a much more respectable 11-8 at home where they have won five of their last seven with one of those losses coming against Golden St. by just two points and includes solid wins over Dallas, New York and Washington.. They are outscoring opponents by close to four ppg on their home floor where they are shooting 46.9 percent from the floor. Malcolm Brogdon was placed on the health and safety protocol list on Thursday but this is not an issue considering he has already missed the last three games with an Achillies injury. Here, we play against road teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after two consecutive covers as a favorite, playing a team with a winning percentage between .250 and .400. This situation is 31-10 (76.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (530) Indiana Pacers |

12-28-21 | Lakers -4.5 v. Rockets | Top | 132-123 | Win | 100 | 21 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. The Lakers are floundering with five straight losses with three of those coming against elite teams in Chicago, Phoenix and Brooklyn. This is the perfect opponent to break the streak even though they are short-handed with Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook out with a knee injury and health and safety protocol respectively. This means it will be the LeBron James show and he will have Carmelo Anthony alongside to provide some scoring punch. While the offense has been below average during the losing streak, the defense has been horrible the last two games, allowing 138 and 122 points. They have gone just 12-22 ATS this season so there is value in the number based on that as well. Houston has lost three straight games, all on the road where the Rockets are 3-16, and they head home where they are a much more respectable 7-7. Because of that and the Lakers struggles, we are seeing some early money coming in on Houston. The Rockets have struggled defensively as they are No. 28 in scoring and No. 21 in scoring defense so even though the Lakers are short-handed with their stars, they can take advantage of this unit. They are better offensively but are still in the bottom half of the league and the worst part is that Houston is the third worst free throw shooting team in the NBA at 70.6 percent. The Rockets are 6-21 ATS in their last 27 home games against teams with a losing road record. Here, we play on road favorites after being beaten by the spread by 30 or more points total in their last three games going up against an opponent after going over the total by 24 or more points total in their last three games. This situation is 26-6 ATS (81.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (569) Los Angeles Lakers |

12-27-21 | Jazz -6 v. Spurs | Top | 110-104 | Push | 0 | 21 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Revenge Game of the Month. Utah has won three straight games following a two-game losing streak that included a home loss against San Antonio as an 11.5-point favorite. The Jazz have gone five straight games without a cover which may be giving us some value here even though it is a big number in what might be considered a contrarian play despite the disparity in records between the teams. Utah is 23-9 overall and has actually been better on the road with a 10-3 record. The Jazz are the highest scoring team in the NBA and they are No. 2 in shooting offense while sitting at No. 4 from behind the arc and while the defense is not quite at that level, they are No. 7, No. 9 and No. 3 in those categories respectively. The Jazz are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a losing home record. The Spurs have won two straight games and are 5-3 over their last eight games to move to 13-18 on the season. San Antonio is a better road team than at home as well as it is 6-9 on its home floor and has been able to compete with some the better teams going 9-3 ATS against winning teams. While that is the case, this is not a good spot playing a team with revenge even though the Jazz are without Donovan Mitchell and that is a reason the line is lower than we would normally see. The Spurs are pretty solid on offense, ranked No. 6 in scoring and No. 4 in shooting but the defense has been the letdown as they are No. 24 in scoring, shooting defense and three-point defense. The Spurs are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play on favorites revenging a straight up loss as a favorite of seven or more going up against an opponent off two or more consecutive upset wins as a road underdog. This situation is 30-6 ATS (83.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (553) Utah Jazz |

12-26-21 | 76ers -3.5 v. Wizards | Top | 117-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Month. The Sixers have not hit expectations this season with a 16-16 record and they are coming off a horrible loss to a depleted Hawks team that just got blown out by the Knicks so Philadelphia is in a great bounce back spot against Washington on Sunday. The Sixers have actually been a better road team than at home which has not been the case in years past as they are 10-8 on the highway compared to being just 6-8 at home. The defense has been decent but the offense has let them down as they are No. 25 in scoring offense and No. 15 in shooting which is not horrible but the rebounding is the issue but they could have an advantageous matchup here. Washington got off to a great start but the wheels have fallen off even though it has won two straight games including an impressive win at Utah. Prior to that, the Wizards dropped eight of their previous 10 games and currently they are 8-4 at home yet come in as an underdog. Red flag. Well, that is because Bradley Beal and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope have been put on the health and safety protocol list and that takes over 34 points away from the offense so the value has turned to the Sixers which have lost four of five games. The Wizards were No. 22 in scoring offense so that is not in play anymore while the defense has been average all season. Washington is 1-10 ATS when playing three or less games in 10 days while going 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Here, we play against road underdogs with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 off two or more consecutive upset wins as a road underdog. This situation is 55-22 ATS (71.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (533) Philadelphia 76ers |

12-25-21 | Warriors +6.5 v. Suns | Top | 116-107 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the GOLDEN ST. WARRIORS for our NBA Western Conference Game of the Month. It is not often you see Golden St. as an underdog this big but here the Warriors are. Golden St. has won two straight, five of six and seven of its last nine games but has lost the lead in the NBA Pacific Division. The Warriors trail Phoenix by a half-game and they now possess the second best record in the NBA. Obviously, Steph Curry has been the main focal point of the Warriors success, they rely on balance with five players averaging between 6.7 and 8.4 ppg and with Alan Wiggins out, that balance will become more key. Curry has averaged 35.3 ppg over his last three games and in these spotlight games, this is where he steps it up even more. The Warriors are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Phoenix is on a five-game winning streak with the latest being a 113-101 win over the Thunder on Thursday. The Suns came into the season as contenders for the NBA Title after making the Finals last season and they are proving they are worthy once again. Led by Devin Booker and Chris Paul, the Suns are No. 3 in scoring and No. 2 in shooting offense but face a Warriors defense that is ranked No. 1 in both of those categories. One difference between these two teams in that while Phoenix is 9-0 against the Eastern Conference, it is 17-5 against the West while the Warriors are 14-3 against the Western Conference. Phoenix is just 1-3 ATS at home against teams with a winning record. Here, we play against home teams revenging a loss where opponent scored 110 or more points, off a home no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite. This situation is 63-31 ATS (67 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (589) Golden St. Warriors |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. The Clippers have lost three straight games to fall to 16-15 overall and are now 9.5 games behind Golden St. in the Pacific Division. Their defense remains strong as they are No. 8 in scoring and No. 9 in shooting and the offense will have to get going as they are No. 25 in scoring and No. 21 shooting from the floor. The Clippers are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 road games when playing against teams with a winning percentage between .400 and .499. Sacramento is coming off a loss at Golden St. and has now lost five of its last seven games to drop six games under .500 on the season. The Kings are two games under .500 at home and have yet to cover a game against a winning team. The offense is ranked No. 6 in scoring but the defense has been the liability as they are No. 29 in points allowed and No. 25 in shooting defense. The Kings are 0-6 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play on road teams revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off two or more consecutive upset losses as a favorite.

12-12-21 | Mavs -4 v. Thunder | Top | 103-84 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Dallas is coming off a loss at Indiana on Friday which was its fourth loss in five games. The Mavericks have been huge underachievers all season but are just three game behind Memphis in the NBA Southwest Division and this should be a great opportunity to gain ground. The Mavericks are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Oklahoma City is coming off a loss against the Lakers following a pair of road wins bit it sits at 8-17 on the season and it is in a tough matchup here. The Thunder are 4-8 at home and have lost four straight here heading into Sunday. The Thunder are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 games following a ATS loss. Here, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after having lost two of their last three games, with a winning percentage between .450 and .550 on the season.

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Minnesota was on a roll but it has lost four straight games to fall three games under .500 but those losses came against some of the best teams in the NBA including Utah, Brooklyn and Washington. The last two losses came at home where they are now 7-8 but this is a great line in a rebound spot where they are still outscoring their opponents. The defense has been the fault yet they were great on that end of the floor during their run where they went 7-1 in an eight-game stretch. The Timberwolves are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Cleveland is coming off a win against Chicago on Wednesday to snap a two-game losing skid which came after a four-game winning streak. The Cavaliers are two games over .500 on the season and three games over .500 on the road which is definitely playing into this line. The road record includes three solid wins over Dallas, Miami and Washington but have gone down to the opposition occasionally this season and they are catching a team that is desperate for a win. The Cavaliers are 7-18 ATS in their last 25 games as a road favorite. Here, we play on home underdogs averaging between 104 and 108 ppg going up against teams allowing 104 or fewer ppg, after allowing 125 points or more. This situation is 27-7 ATS (79.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (542) Minnesota Timberwolves |

This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Friday Supreme Annihilator. Atlanta has caught fire after a slow start to the season as it has won eight of its last nine games to get to two games over .500 and move two games behind Washington in the NBA Southeast Division. The offense has been rolling with an average of 119.7 ppg during the winning streak. The Hawks are outscoring opponents by 9.5 ppg at home and they are ranked No. 7 in the league in Effective Field Goal Percentage which is 10 spots ahead of Philadelphia. The Hawks are also No. 2 in three league in three-point percentage and going against the No. 23 ranked three-point defense. The Hawks are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games as a home favorite. We won with Philadelphia last time out as it fell to the Celtics by a point in a big rivalry game and has now lost three of four games to go back to .500 on the season. They have been decent on the road at 5-5 but are in the bottom half of the league in Opponent Effective Field Goal Percentage and ride into a tough game against a hot offense. The Sixers are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up loss. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after having won five or six of their last seven games, with a winning percentage of between .450 and .550 on the season.

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Bucks have won eight straight games to move to into a tie for second place in the Eastern Conference. It took a while and it is hard to go against a team like this especially playing a struggling team. Milwaukee has moved up in all categories including on the road where it is now 7-4 and is in the top ten in both Effective Field Goal Percentage. The Bucks are 4-0 ATS in their last four games against teams with a losing straight up record.

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Atlantic Division Game of the Month. Philadelphia is coming off a win over Orlando which is not saying much especially when it came by just five points against a team that is now 4-18 on the season. The Sixers are a game over .500 and are four games behind Brooklyn in the NBA Atlantic Division while sitting on the outside looking for the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. They have been dominant at home over the last few years but are just 5-5 this season on their floor and have actually been better on the road with a 6-5 record and will be looking to break their 0-4 divisional record tonight. Joel Embiid had a rough game against Orlando, going just 4-16 from the floor and had only 16 point following up a 41-point performance in his first game back after missing 11 days because of COVID. The Sixers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win. Boston is coming off a win at Toronto which snapped a two-game slide and it is also 11-10 heading into tonight. The Celtics had won three straight prior to that and while it included a win over the Lakers, the other two came against Houston and Oklahoma City, which are a combined 10-30 on the season. The Celtics are seventh worst in Effective Field Goal Percentage at home and while their defense has always been a strength, they are on that same ranking at home and they could be without Jaylen Brown who is still listed as questionable for tonight. The Celtics are 8-19 ATS in their last 27 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Here, we play against home favorites off a win by 10 points or more over a division rival, with a winning percentage of between .450 and .500 on the season.

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Home court has not been more important than any other team than Portland as the host has gone 19-2 in the Blazers 21 games this season. The Blazers are 9-1 at home and just finished a 0-3 roadtrip by losing to Utah by 22 points on Monday. The defense was once again atrocious as they allowed 124 ppg and they remain dead last in the NBA in Opponent Effective Field Goal Percentage on the road at 59.1 percent but that comes down to 52.0 percent at home where they allow 104.4 ppg which is a respectable No. 10 in the league. On offense, Portland is No. 3 in the NBA in Effective Field Goal Percentage at home and its True Shooting Percentage is also No. 3 in the league. The Blazers are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as a home favorite. Detroit is 4-16 and has dropped its last six games, including a 110-106 loss to the Lakers on Sunday. The Pistons are 2-8 both at home and on the road and the away numbers have been awful. They are third to last in both Effective and True Shooting Percentages on the road on offense while sitting fourth to last in both categories on defense. Detroit has covered the last two on the road but those were big lines and while this one is on the cusp, this is an awful spot with Portland heading back home after the blowout from last night. The Pistons are 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 games following an ATS win. Here, we play on teams off three or more consecutive road losses, playing on back-to-back days. This situation is 30-9 ATS (76.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (538) Portland Trail Blazers |

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Monday Supreme Annihilator. Minnesota is coming off a double overtime win at Philadelphia on Saturday and the Timberwolves have now won six of their last seven games to get back to .500 at 10-10 overall. They are now three games behind Utah in the NBA Northwest Division while sitting tied for seventh place in the Western Conference, two games out of fourth place.

They are coming off a win in their most recent road game at Chicago to snap a three-game losing streak on the highway and they are just 3-9 on the road this season. Indiana has struggled from long range all season as it is hitting at a clip of just 33.4 percent and the challenge will be difficult here as the Timberwolves are allowing an average of 31.9 percent from behind the arc which is third-best in the NBA. Indiana has failed to cover three of its four road games this season following a loss. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after having won five or six of their last seven games, with a winning percentage of between .450 and .550 on the season.

11-26-21 | Suns v. Knicks +3 | Top | 118-97 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The Suns are coming off a win at Cleveland on Wednesday pushing their winning streak to 14 straight games and they still trail the Warriors by a game in the NBA Pacific Division. They improved to 7-1 on the road with the victory over the Cavaliers and while this streak is impressive, they have not exactly dominated, going 1-5 ATS over their last six games and with a pretty low number here, the public is riding Phoenix yet again. Phoenix has been one of the most surprising teams going back to last season while making a trip to the NBA Finals and this will be a tough spot as they have a game at Brooklyn tomorrow, the top team in the Eastern Conference. The Suns are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games against teams with a winning straight up record. The Knicks defeated the Lakers last time out and while they have been somewhat inconsistent after a red hot start, a couple days off following the Los Angeles win is a benefit as they have following up their last five wins with losses. New York is 3.5 games out of first place in the conference and a win here would be big with a pair of road games upcoming against the Hawks and Nets. The Knicks are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 games against teams with a winning % above .600. Here, we play against road teams with a winning percentage of .750 or better where the line is +3 to -3 after three or more consecutive wins, a playing teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600.

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. We won with Minnesota on Monday as it took care of New Orleans, jumping out to a 26-point lead and never looking back but things get tougher here at home. Part of the reason we played the Timberwolves was because of their success against the poor teams in the league and after that victory Minnesota is 1-6 against the top 16 in the league while now 7-3 against teams below that. Minnesota has won four straight games to move a game under .500 and this includes a 5-6 record at home. The Timberwolves are 6-13-2 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Miami is coming off a win over Detroit last night and it has now won five of its last six games to keep its lead in the Southeast Division lead by a half-game over Washington. The Heat defense has picked things up after a bit of a lull as they have allowed fewer than 100 points in four of their last five games and are now allowing 101.8 ppg overall which is second best in the NBA. They are ninth in the league in Opponent Effective Field Goal Percentage and this is easily the best defense that the Timberwolves have faced over this recent winning streak. Playing on a back-to-back has been no issue for Miami as the Heat are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games playing on no rest. Here, we play against home underdogs off a road win by 10 points or more going up against an opponent off a road win. This situation is 24-5 ATS (82.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (523) Miami Heat |

The Timberwolves are 2-3 on the road with the losses coming against the Grizzlies, Warriors and Clippers and the two wins coming against the Bucks and Lakers which are all .500 or better so the road schedule has been a tough one. They are averaging 110 ppg on the highway and come into this one playing well on offense, averaging 120 ppg during their three-game winning streak. Overall, Minnesota is 1-6 against the top 16 in the league but 6-3 against teams below that. The Timberwolves are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a road favorite. New Orleans is coming off a 17-point loss at Indiana on Saturday to fall to 3-15 on the season. The Pelicans have won two straight games at home after a 0-6 start with the defense allowing 108.1 ppg which is ninth most in the league. Overall, they are No. 26 in Opponent Effective Field Goal Percentage including No. 23 at home. Unlike the Timberwolves, New Orleans has struggled of late on offense as it is averaging just 95.3 ppg over its last three games and has failed to hit 100 points in any of those three games. Going back further, the Pelicans has scored 100 or fewer points in eight of their last 10 games. The Pelicans are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog.

This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. After opening 1-2 in the first three games of a five-game homestand, the Jazz took out Philadelphia and Toronto by 35 and 16 points respectively in the last two games. Utah hits the road for a one-game trip to Sacramento and it comes in with a 4-3 record on the highway and this includes a loss at Orlando in its last road game. The Jazz are outshooting opponents by just 1.5 percent on the road and while the adjusted rankings have been better, this is a big number to be laying on the road. The Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. The Kings have lost two straight games including a 19-point setback against Toronto last night and they have now dropped three straight games at home. They managed only 89 points last night but are still averaging 109.3 ppg on the season which is sixth most in the league. They have been able get it done inside as Sacramento is third in the Western Conference with 48.6 ppg in the paint. Sacramento is 3-0 ATS this season when getting 6.5 or more points and all of those were on the road making this the biggest number it has seen on its home floor. The Kings are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games playing with no rest. Here, we play against road teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after two consecutive covers as a favorite, playing a team with a winning percentage between .250 and .400. This situation is 31-9 ATS (77.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (546) Sacramento Kings |

11-19-21 | Pacers +2.5 v. Hornets | Top | 118-121 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Charlotte has won four straight games to improve to 9-7 on the season and is now just two games behind Miam in the NBA Southeast Division. The Hornets defense has improved considerably as they have allowed 98.3 ppg over their last four games during this winning streak after allowing 118.3 ppg through their first 12 games. They gave up a season low 87 points against Washington last time out as the Wizards were bricking from long range as they were 8-42 (19 percent). Charlotte is ranked No. 23 in Opponent Effective Field Goal Percentage while sitting No. 24 in Opponent True Shooting Percentage so the Hornets are not out of the woods yet on that side of the floor. Indiana has lost their past two games, failing to score 90 points in either of them and part of the issue has been a lack of physicality. Easy buckets were the norm early on but they have not come of late and despite the recent regression, Indiana is still ranked No. 6 in the NBA in Effective Field Goal Percentage. Additionally, the Pacers are No. 8 in overall shooting percentage at 46.3 percent. They are just 2-8 on the road but have played much better than that record shows as five of those losses have come by four points or less so they have been in the majority of those games. The Pacers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play on teams averaging between 104 and 108 ppg after scoring 95 points or less in two straight games going up against teams allowing between 108 and 114 ppg. This situation is 22-4 ATS (84.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (513) Indiana Pacers |

This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. San Antonio has lost three straight games including a 14-point loss at the Clippers on Tuesday that dropped their road record to 2-6 on the season but most of those losses have come against winning teams and they have a great chance to bounce back here. Overall, the Spurs are 1-7 against the Top 16 teams in the NBA and Minnesota is far from part of that group. The offense has played well as San Antonio is ranked No. 12 in scoring offense and No. 5 in shooting offense and while those do come down on the road, again, that is based on the schedule played. Minnesota 11-25 ATS in its last 36 home games against teams shooting 46 percent or better from the floor. The Spurs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams with a losing home record. Minnesota snapped a two-game skid with a 10-point win over Sacramento last night and that put a temporary halt to a 1-8 run where the Timberwolves were outscored by double-digits. To their credit, the opposition was strong but that being said, the Timberwolves have actually struggled against the poor teams in the league, especially on their home floor. Going back, the Timberwolves are 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a losing road record. Here, we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are getting outscored by their opponents by 3.0 or more ppg going up against an opponent after a loss by 10 points or more. This situation is 61-32 ATS (65.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (505) San Antonio Spurs |

11-17-21 | Celtics v. Hawks -4 | Top | 99-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. After six straight losses, the Hawks have won two straight, an impressive 20-point win over Milwaukee and then an 18-point win over Orlando to follow that up. Atlanta has been slid at home and awful on the road and on the season, the home team is 13-2 in Hawks games. That has played into the spread as well as Atlanta is just 1-8 ATS on the road, with the lone cover coming against 2-13 New Orleans while going 5-1 against the number at home. The Hawks are averaging 116.7 ppg at home on 48.6 percent shooting and they are third in the NBA in Effective Field Goal Percentage and second in True Shooting Percentage on their home floor. Overall, Atlanta has played the third toughest schedule in the NBA and it is 12-2 ATS in its last 14 home games off a home win. Boston has been playing much better as it has gone 5-2 over its last seven games after opening the season with an opposite 2-5 mark. The Celtics have been great to their backers as they have covered all seven of those games with the two losses coming as underdogs where they lost by two and three points and managed to get the money by just a half-point each. Boston has been better on the road with a 5-4 record but a win over Miami is the only solid victory. The Celtics have clamped down on defense as they have allowed only 91.9 ppg over their last seven games but they have a big challenge tonight against this Hawks offense. Here, we play against road underdogs after allowing 95 points or less in two straight games going up against an opponent after scoring 120 points or more. This situation is 78-40 ATS (66.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (568) Atlanta Hawks |

11-16-21 | Warriors v. Nets -3 | Top | 117-99 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Tuesday TNT Blockbuster. Brooklyn is back home following a 5-1 road trip and it has now won nine of its last 10 games as the Nets are now gelling after slow start where they lost three of their first five games. Brooklyn is a half-game behind Washington for first place in the Eastern Conference and while it has played a relatively easy schedule, this is a good spot in its first home game since November 3rd. Kevin Durant was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week after averaging 32.3 ppg, 7.8 rpg, and 4.5 apg and has another chance to knock off his old team after winning both meetings last season by 17 and 26 points. While Durant and James Harden are the headliners and it is the second unit that has really propelled the Nets as they are seventh in both offensive rating and effective field goal percentage off the bench, and eighth in net rating. The Nets are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games as a home favorite. The Warriors are 11-2 after Charlotte snapped their seven-game winning streak, 106-102 on Sunday. While the schedule has been easy for the Nets, Golden St. has played the No. 29 ranked schedule in the NBA so a lot of the success can be attributed to that. Stephen Curry is having a monster season but after that, only three other players are averaging double-digits in scoring. Golden St. is ranked in the top three in both offensive and defensive efficiency but playing nine of the first 13 games at home has helped and two of the three road wins have come against teams with a losing record. The Warriors are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as a road underdog. This will be just the second time for Durant and Harden to face Golden St. together and the first at home. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after beating the spread by 18 or more points total in their last three games, first half of the season. This situation is 64-24 ATS (72.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (552) Brooklyn Nets |

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Phoenix has won eight straight games, covering its last seven, and now hits the road after a win last night in Houston and this will also be its third road game in four nights. The Suns are now 4-1 on the road and overall, they have played the No. 28 ranked schedule in the league and the public is all over them again based on the short number and the opponent they are facing. The offense has been rolling as they are now averaging 112 ppg on 47.7 percent shooting, third and first respectively in the NBA. The is an optimal letdown spot as the Suns head back home after this to face Dallas twice and then Denver. The Suns are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games playing on no rest. Minnesota is coming off a 27-point loss against the Clippers which capped a 1-3 roadtrip and the Timberwolves have now lost seven of their last eight games. The home floor has not been kind but Minnesota has been outscored by just five ppg. The big three has been solid for Minnesota as Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging 22.2 ppg and 9.3 rpg and D'Angelo Russell is averaging 17.4 ppg and 5.6 apg while Anthony Edwards is coming around, averaging 24.1 ppg over the last 10 games. Towns could continue his solid play as the Suns will be without center Deandre Ayton once again with a with a right lower-leg contusion. Here, we play against teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after two consecutive covers as a favorite, playing a bad team with a winning percentage between .250 and .400. this situation is 50-19 ATS (72.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (544) Minnesota Timberwolves |

11-12-21 | Knicks -1 v. Hornets | Top | 96-104 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Charlotte is coming off a win over Memphis on the road which snapped a five game losing streak and what opened at a great start to the season has taken a backward turn. The Hornets opened the season 5-2 but the defense, which was bad to begin with, has gotten even worse as they have allowed 120.2 ppg during this recent 1-5 run. Overall, they are allowing 117.5 ppg which is dead last in the league and they are second worst in Defensive Efficiency and third worst in Defensive Effective Field Goal Percentage. Charlotte has dipped on offense as well, falling to No. 18 in Effective Field Goal Percentage. The Hornets are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win. New York is coming off a 12-point loss against Milwaukee which was its fourth loss in six games and the Bucks clearly came into that game more motivated following the home loss they suffered to the Knicks less than a week ago where there was a 43-point swing that took place. The Knicks are 5-1 on the road and they are No. 6 in the league in Effective field Goal Percentage on offense away from home while also sitting No. 6 in points scored overall. New York can definitely take advantage of this awful Charlotte defense and has averaged 116 ppg against teams ranked in the bottom 10 on defense. The Knicks are 18-8 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up loss. Here, we play against home underdogs off an upset win of 10 points or more as a road underdog, with a losing record. This situation is 29-7 ATS (80.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (555) New York Knicks |

11-11-21 | Pacers v. Jazz -9 | Top | 111-100 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Indiana is coming off a loss at shorthanded Denver last night as it came in as a favorite because of the absence of Nikola Jokic who was serving a one game suspension. The Pacers fell to 1-6 on the road and they have a bigger test tonight against the second best team in the Western Conference. Indiana is ranked No. 18 or worse in overall offense and defense as well as shooting offense and shooting defense. The Pacers have dropped six of their last nine games with five of those losses coming against teams at .500 or better. Indiana could be without Caris LeVert again as he is dealing with back issues and he is third on the team in scoring and second in assists. The Pacers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Utah is coming off a win over Atlanta on Tuesday which snapped a two-game slide. The Jazz remain home where they are 4-0 and outscoring opponents by close to 13 ppg. This is one of the most efficient teams in the NBA as they are ranked No. 6 in effective field goal percentage on offense and No. 4 in effective field goal percentage on defense. Utah is also ranked in the top four in both offensive and defensive true shooting percentage. After a slow start, Donovan Mitchell is averaging 29.8 ppg over his last six games after putting up just 20.0 ppg in his first four games. This is a big game for the Jazz as their next three games are against the Heat, Sixers and Raptors before a breather where they play their next six games against teams with a losing record. The Jazz are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a losing straight up record. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after two or more consecutive unders, in a game involving two teams averaging between 108 and 114. This situation is 62-31 ATS (66.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (552) Utah Jazz |

11-10-21 | Heat -4 v. Lakers | Top | 117-120 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Wednesday Star Attraction. Miami is coming off a loss at Denver that got ugly at the end and we expect a fired up Heat team to make amends on Wednesday. The defense has taken a step backwards as Miami has allowed 115 and 113 points over its two games after keeping opponents to 103 points or less in seven of its first eight games and one of those was because of overtime. The Heat are 7-3 and still possess the No. 5 Effective Field Goal Percentage defense in the NBA and are limiting opponents to a shooting percentage of 41.6 percent which is still the best in the league. Miami is ranked No. 9 in Effective Field Goal Percentage offense and that goes up to No. 5 in True Shooting Percentage. The Heat are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite. The Lakers are coming off an overtime win over Charlotte on Monday which snapped a two-game losing streak to move back over .500 at 6-5. The injury list is extensive as LeBron James remains out while numerous other players are listed as questionable. Los Angeles was able to cover by a half-point which broke a four-game non-cover streak. The Lakers are allowing 112.4 ppg which is the third most points given up in the NBA. Offensively, Los Angeles averaged 115.5 ppg over its first six games but has put up only 106.8 ppg over its last five games and a lot of this has to do with the absence of James in the lineup. The Lakers have covered only two of eight home games and they are 0-6 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a home win by three points or less, in November games. This situation is 30-3 ATS (90.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (547) Miami Heat |

11-09-21 | Blazers v. Clippers -3 | Top | 109-117 | Win | 101 | 14 h 44 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Western Conference Game of the Month. The Clippers have won four straight games and seem to be finally getting use to playing without Kawhi Leonard. This comes after a 1-4 start to the season and while the recent winning has not come against any world beaters, Portland falls into the same grouping. Los Angeles is 3-2 at home and the defense has been solid here, allowing 99.6 ppg on 40.9 percent shooting, fourth and third respectively in the NBA so they are getting it done on that side of the floor. On offense, Los Angeles is averaging 105.6 ppg at home which is middle of the pack but has a favorable matchup here. This is a revenge game for the Clippers as they lost in Portland in their final game in October by 19 points and they are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Portland has improved to 5-5 on the season following a pair of wins over the Pacers and Lakers and the Blazers are now 5-1 at home but are 0-4 on the road while getting outscored by close to 14 ppg. They have one of the worst defenses away from home as they allow 50.9 percent shooting, second worst in the NBA and are giving up 115.3 ppg, fifth worst in the league. Looking more analytically into it, Portland is dead last in the NBA in effective field goal percentage allowed on the road at 59.9 percent. Their 43 allowed field goals per game is also dead last in the NBA. The Blazers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 with a winning percentage between .450 and .550 after having won five or six of their last seven games. This situation is 47-19 ATS (71.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (522) Los Angeles Clippers |

This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Brooklyn has won five straight games to pull within a game of the Sixers in the NBA Atlantic Division following a big win over Toronto on Sunday. The Nets have improved on the defensive end of the floor as they used to be awful and this is without Kyrie Irving. Overall, the team has a defensive rating of 103 and they are getting closer to the Bulls (102.6) but are not there yet. One thing they have struggled in is the transition game as Brooklyn is allowing 20.7 ppg of turnovers which is tied for third most in the NBA, the same ranking for fast break points allowed. While going 4-1 against teams outside the top 16, the Nets are a pedestrian 3-2 against teams within the top 16 and while the Nets possess that same record, they do have the advantage of playing at home. The Nets are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog. Despite a pair of losses in their last two games, the Bulls remain in first place in the NBA Central Division, one game over the surprising Cavaliers. Both of those losses came against the Sixers in a home-and-home and in the most recent game, Chicago struggled in one area they have has success at. While going back to the transition issue for Brooklyn, the Bulls like to push it when they can as they are third in the NBA in fast break points while also third in points off turnovers. Chicago is getting great production from Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan but are still looking for more consistency from Lonzo Ball and Nikola Vucevic with both coming off subpar efforts on Saturday. The Bulls are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. 10* (504) Chicago Bulls |

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Milwaukee is coming off a home loss against the Knicks as it took a 19-point lead into the second quarter, led by as many as 21 points and eventually fell behind by 22 points in a horrible stretch that has seen the Bucks go 1-4 over their last five games. They are dealing with injuries and COVID issues but Milwaukee saw the return of Jrue Holiday who logged 20 minutes after missing five games with a sprained ankle and he should see an uptake in minutes here. The Bucks fell to 1-4 at home but they are 3-1 on the road and loss like the one that happened on Friday will have them ready to go. The Bucks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss. Milwaukee has averaged just 102.2 ppg over this stretch but should have some success against a Washington defense that allowed 113.6 ppg prior to it last game on Friday. Washington is looking to build on a 28-point win over Memphis on Friday, its largest margin of victory of the season. The defense was solid as the Wizards held the Grizzlies to just 35.4 percent shooting from the floor and limited Ja Morant to just 11 points although a lot of that was just a poor shooting night. Here, we play on road favorites off an upset loss as a home favorite going up against an opponent off a home win scoring 110 or more points. This situation is 43-17 ATS (71.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (571) Milwaukee Bucks |

This is a play on the PHOENIX SUNS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. After opening the season 1-3, Phoenix has won three straight games to move over .500 for the first time this season. Granted, those wins were against Cleveland, New Orleans and Houston and while some victories can paint a false impression, these were big wins in order to restore any resemblance of confidence. The Suns are shooting 47.1 percent from the floor which is fourth best in the league and they have been efficient with the ball with a 1.90 A/TO ratio, good for third in the NBA. They assist on 66.4 percent of their made field goals which is the second best rate in the league. The Suns are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games against teams with a losing road record. Atlanta has lost two straight games and four of its last five to fall a game under .500 for the first time this season. The Hawks are coming off their first home loss of the season and they hit the road where they are 1-4, the lone victory being a three-point victory over New Orleans which is 1-9 on the season. They are getting outscored by over 10 ppg away from home and have yet to cover a game on the road. Atlanta has averaged just 102.0 ppg on the road which is sixth worst in the league and its 43.0 percent shooting is also sixth lowest in the NBA. The Hawks are 0-3 against top ten teams in the NBA and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as an underdog. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a home loss by 10 points or more, with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 on the season. This situation is 30-9 (76.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (560) Phoenix Suns |

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Nonconference Game of the Month. Portland is coming off a miserable east coast roadtrip at it lost all three games at Charlotte, Philadelphia and Cleveland and the Blazers were favored in all of those games. They are now 3-5 on the season which includes a 0-4 record on the road but they head home where they are 3-1 and that includes three straight wins by an average of 22.7 ppg against the Suns, Grizzlies and Clippers. Despite the struggles, the offense has been fine as they are averaging 111.0 ppg which is seventh best in the NBA and at home, Portland is averaging 120.5 ppg, second best in the league as is its shooting from long range at 41.4 percent. Damian Lillard is averaging just 19.5 ppg as he has been ice cold from the floor but a breakout here is in the cards. The Blazers are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with a losing straight up record. The Pacers have won back-to-back games following a 1-6 start but both of those wins came at home and they are winless on the road at 0-4. The Portland offense should once again flourish here as Indiana comes in with the second worst defense on the road as it is allowing 120.3 ppg which is the second most in the league. The Pacers are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after two or more consecutive unders, in a game involving teams averaging between 108 and 114 ppg. This situation is 61-30 ATS (67 percent) since 1996. 10* (550) Portland Trail Blazers |

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Boston snapped a three-game losing streak thanks to a 33-6 run that blew open a tight game but that was Orlando and now the Celtics face one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Boston held Orlando to 79 points on 32 percent shooting, both season lows, but the Magic have one of the worst offenses in the NBA and one game is not going to turn the Celtics defense around. They are second to last in points allowed, barely ahead of Charlotte, and they will be facing a sneaky good offense from a team that is getting headlines for its defense. The Celtics are 0-5 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog while going 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win. Miami is 6-1 to start the season and it has won and covered five straight games. The Heat possess the best defense in the NBA as they are allowing just 98.9 ppg and 39.7 percent shooting from the floor. On the other side, they also lead the league in scoring at 115.6 ppg and they are averaging 119.7 ppg in their six wins. The Heat are 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite and are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Here, we play on home teams off two or more consecutive road wins, in November games. This situation is 25-7 ATS (78.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (528) Miami Heat |

This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. The Knicks are coming off a bad loss against Toronto which snapped a three-game winning streak to fall to 5-2 on the season. They attempted a season low 76 shots but still had a 15-point lead at one point but obviously let that go. They hit the road where they are 3-0 and that includes a win over Chicago which is the Bulls only loss of the season. New York is third in the NBA in road scoring at 116 ppg and its 49.2 percent shooting is good for second best. The Knicks easily lead the league from long range at 46.6 percent and should be able to once again take advantage here. The Knicks are 23-8 ATS in their last 31 games against teams with a losing straight up record. Indiana snapped a four-game losing streak with a 13-point win over San Antonio which has gotten off to a horrible start. The defense remains an issue however as the Pacers allowed 118 point in the victory and they are allowing 113.3 ppg which is No. 27 in the league. It is not a pace issue as Indiana allows opponents to shoot 45.9 percent, which is No. 24 in the NBA and this includes allowing 38.8 percent from long range, No. 26 overall. The Pacers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 after having lost three of their last four games going up against an opponent after having won five or six of their last seven games. This situation is 85-47 ATS (64.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (509) New York Knicks |

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Miami has won and covered four straight games and with the Chicago win and New York loss on Monday, the idle Heat are a half-game out of first place in the Eastern Conference. The Heat are one of five teams in the early going that are ranked in the top ten in both offensive and defensive shooting and they lead the way in the latter at 39.1 percent while allowing a league-low 97.0 ppg. Miami has held the last four opponents to under 42 percent shooting in each game while giving up an average of 39.2 percent shooting across those. This is nearly unheard of where the NBA is heading but the hard work is paying off. Following three straight wins, Dallas got thumped at Denver by 31 points before bouncing back with a win against Sacramento on Sunday. The Mavericks have picked up their game defensively as well as after allowing 119.5 ppg in their first two games, they have given up 101.0 ppg over their last five games on 43.4 percent shooting. Additionally, they are ranked No. 9 in opponent true shooting percentage which is a measure of shooting efficiency that takes into account field goals, three-point field goals, and free throws. While going 1-2 on the road, Dallas is 3-0 at home and going back, the Mavericks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play against road teams that are allowing opponents to shoot 41 percent or better on the season, after 4 straight games allowing 42 percent or less from the floor.

This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Atlantic Game of the Month. New York has won three straight games to improve to 5-1 on the season and it holds a one-game lead over Philadelphia in the Atlantic Division. The Knicks are ranked second in the NBA in scoring at 117.0 ppg while their 46.5 percent shooting is good for No. 5 in the league. They are one of only two teams that are shooting more than 40 percent from long range. When looking more at the analytical side, New York is No. 2 in effective field goal percentage after finishing sixth worst last season. While the offense is humming, the defense is playing at a high level also as the Knicks are ranked No. 9 in effective field goal percentage defense and their 42.3 percent shooting allowed is No. 5 in the league. The Knicks are 19-8-1 ATS in their last 28 games following a straight up win. The Raptors are starting to turn the corner but we are not sold on them. Toronto is now 4-3 on the season following three straight wins but the early schedule has played a big role in this. The four wins have come against Boston, Orlando and Indiana (twice) and those three teams are a combined 4-16 while the three losses are against teams a combined 14-4. The defense has been playing well but the offense is No. 22 in scoring and No. 24 in shooting percentage. The Raptors are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games following an ATS win. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage of .75 percent or better off a road no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite, playing a team with a winning percentage between .501 and .600. 10* (540) New York Knicks |

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Charlotte is off to a 4-2 start to the season following a 15-point loss at Miami on Friday. The Hornets do own a solid win over Brooklyn but overall, their four wins have come against teams that are a combined 8-19. They still lead the league in scoring offense at 117.5 ppg but the defense remains a work in progress as Charlotte is No. 27 in scoring defense, giving up 115.7 ppg while allowing opponents to shoot 47.9 percent from the floor which is second highest in the league. While the perimeter defense has been good, the Hornets are allowing a league worst 59.7 percent from inside the arc. The Hornets are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games as an underdog. Portland has won two straight games to move over .500 on the season and it has done so with a solid defense, allowing just 43.3 percent shooting which is No. 9 in the NBA. They are No. 8 in defensive rating compared to finishing No. 29 last season and have gone up against good offenses that includes three teams that finished in the top 10 in offensive rating last season. The offense is a notch below from last season and a lot of that is due to the slow start from Damian Lillard who is off to a slow start but is coming off his most complete game of the season. The Blazers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games as a road favorite. Here, we play against home underdogs off a road loss, that had a winning percentage between .400 and .499 last season. This situation is 43-18 ATS (70.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (525) Portland Trailblazers |

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. New York has won two straight games to move to 4-1 on the season to remain in a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference with three other teams. The Knicks have been doing it with offense as they are third in the NBA in scoring, averaging 115.8 ppg but a lot of that is due to pace as they are just No. 15 in shooting at 45.6 percent. This is the second of a back-to-back set for New Orleans as it looks to continually improve as the season progresses without the services of Zion Williamson. The Pelicans 1-5 record does not look great, but their performance Wednesday following their first win of the season marked progress compared to how they played in their first three games when they looked out of sorts in a blowout home loss to the Sixers and road losses to the Bulls and Timberwolves. They lost Friday to Sacramento but it was another solid effort and the free throw line made the difference. They have been solid defensively, allowing 108.2 ppg and their 44.1 percent shooting defense is good for No. 8 in the NBA. New Orleans is 3-1 ATS as an underdog of five or more points and going back, it is 5-0 ATS in its last five games playing with no rest. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in non-conference games in the first six games of the season, after closing out last season with three or more straight ATS losses. This situation is 37-16 ATS (69.8 percent) since 1996. 10* (506) New Orleans Pelicans |

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Southeast Game of the Month. Miami is coming off a 13-point win to move to 3-1 on the season, the lone loss coming in overtime at Indiana. The Heat made themselves stronger in the offseason with the additions of Kyle Lowry and P.J. Tucker and already an excellent defensive team, they have upped it even more. Miami leads the NBA in scoring defense at 95.0 ppg and shooting defense at 39.2 percent and it is second in three-point shooting defense at 28.6 percent. This would typically be a game the Heat could look past but Charlotte has their attention and they will keep their momentum rolling here. Lowry did miss that game against Indiana and while he has struggled offensively out of the gate, Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo have made up for it, averaging a combined 63.6 ppg. This will be their biggest test on offense. The Heat are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. The Hornets are off to a surprising 4-1 start and they have been clicking on offense led by Myles Bridges who is averaging 26.2 ppg which is over double of his career high in a season. The schedule has not been very imposing as their four wins have come against teams a combined 7-13. While the offense has been solid, the Hornets are allowing 116 ppg which is No. 27 in the NBA. The Hornets are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. here, we play against road underdogs averaging 114 or more ppg on the season going up against an opponent after allowing 100 points or fewer in two straight games. This situation is 22-4 ATS (84.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (564) Miami Heat |

This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. After a season opening loss against Atlanta by 26 points, Dallas has won its last two games over Toronto and Houston and it has a half-game lead in the Southwest Division over Memphis. The Mavericks have struggled on offense as they are ranked No. 26 in scoring offense and have had issues shooting the ball as they are dead last in the NBA at 40.4 percent and from long range, they are hitting just 30.5 percent from behind the arc which is No. 28. While listed as questionable, power forward Kristaps Porzingis is expected to miss the game against the Spurs due to a back injury. The Mavericks are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a losing straight up record. Despite a 1-3 record, the Spurs have been efficient with the ball as they have a 2.07 A/TO ratio which is second best in the NBA while their 47.6 percent shooting is tied for second in the league. The backcourt duo of Dejounte Murray and Derrick White is very underrated and Murray is coming off one of the best games for a Spurs players as he had 21 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds as he became the first player in San Antonio history with 20 or more points, 10 or more rebounds and 15 or more assists in a game. The Spurs are 18-8-1 ATS in their last 27 games as a road underdog. Here, we play on teams after two or more consecutive losses in the first six games of the season, playoff team from last season who lost six or more of their last eight games. this situation is 44-17 ATS (72.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (557) San Antonio Spurs |

This is a play on the PHOENIX SUNS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. It has been a slow start for Phoenix after its run into the NBA Finals last season and it got a bad break by having to play in a 3-4 situation to open the season. The Suns lost to Denver in their season opener but rebounded with a 10-point upset against the Lakers on the road only to get blown out at Portland by 29 points a night later. They will be seeking their first home win after shooting just 41.4 percent in their lone home game against the Nuggets. No player scored more than 16 points and all five starters finished with a negative +/-. They are struggling on both ends of the floor and currently have the worst defense in the league, allowing 49.1 percent from the floor. The Suns are 21-9 ATS in their last 30 games following an ATS loss. Sacramento opened the season with a win at Portland but dropped its last two games at home. and it is in a tough spot here. The offense has been showing flashes but the defense is still a liability after posting a 116.5 defensive rating last year, the worst in the league and the highest in in the NBA ever. They are currently ranked No. 26 in defensive efficiency so this is a perfect situation for the Suns to get the offense going and play with more consistency. Sacramento is 7-17 ATS in its last 24 games after two or more consecutive losses. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a game committing 13 or more turnovers than opponent. This situation is 71-30 ATS (70.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (544) Phoenix Suns |

This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Philadelphia has won the last 15 meetings in this series as the last win for New York came back in April of 2017 and that was by just a single point. This is a different team however even though the Knicks are coming off a horrible loss against Orlando on Sunday s they lost by six points as a 12-point favorite. This after winning at Orlando by 25 points two nights earlier which shows anything can happen on any given night. It was a miserable offensive showing for New York as it shot just 37 percent from the floor and while the defense was solid overall, allowing Orlando to shoot only 41 percent, giving up 36 points in the fourth quarter is not going to win any games. New York is 19-3 ATS in its last 22 home games when the line is +3 to -3. Philadelphia is coming off a 12-point win at Oklahoma City to move to 2-0 on the road but those were against two teams a combined 0-6. The Sixers never trailed even though they were outshot by the Thunder and this is a tough travel spot. The Sixers are still without Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid is listed as questionable with right knee soreness and while he likely will go, he might not be 100 percent which is a not so good thing as they are averaging just 43 rpg. Andre Drummond missed the Sunday game with a sprained ankle and is likely not to go again. Philadelphia is 5-17 ATS in its last 22 road games when playing against teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .700. 10* (520) New York Knicks |

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Western Conference Game of the Month. New Orleans and Minnesota square off for the second time in three nights at the Target Center in a strange scheduling situation but that is an edge for the Pelicans as they did not have to travel. New Orleans has lost three straight games to open the season, the first two being blowouts and then a closer game in the first game of this back-to-back. The Pelicans are still without Zion Williamson but this is still a talented roster but they could not shoot on Saturday as they shot just 35 percent from the floor on 31-89 shooting including only 22 percent from long range. Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Minnesota is off to a 2-0 start with wins over the Rockets and Pelicans. The Timberwolves shot just 41 percent from the floor against New Orleans after a 48 percent effort against Houston. The big two of Karl-Anthony Townes and Anthony Edwards have gotten off to great starts and while D'Angelo Russell is chipping in 17 ppg, he has not been taking great care of the ball. The Timberwolves are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up win. Here, we play on road underdogs with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 from last season playing a team with a winning percentage between .250 and .400 from last season. This situation is 42-15 ATS (73.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (513) New Orleans Pelicans |

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. It has not been a good start to the season for Boston as it opened with a loss to the Knicks in overtime and then fell to Toronto by 32 points. And that was on their home floor which is not exactly how you want to start in front of your fans. The Celtics shot just 39 percent from the floor including 32 percent from long range and they went to the free throw line only 11 times. They certainly did not take care of the ball as they had 25 turnovers compared to 19 assists and no team can overcome that. They hit the road again and against an opponent where they should be able to bounce back and the next six games are all very winnable where they should be favored in all of those games. Houston bounced back from an 18-point loss to Minnesota with a 33-point win over Oklahoma City on Friday. The Rockets never trailed, jumped out to a 32-point lead at halftime and won every quarter. Looking at that would make you think that Houston looks like a good team but in reality, it is not because Oklahoma City is just that bad with its first two losses coming by more than 20 points. Houston shot 51 percent from the floor after shooting 45 percent against Minnesota and turnovers have been issue as the Rockets are averaging 20.5 tpg through the first two games. Houston is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 games as a home underdog of six points or less. Here, road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are coming off an upset loss as a home favorite going up against an opponent off a home win scoring 110 or more points. This situation is 29-5 ATS (85.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (573) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS as part of our NBA Saturday Trifecta. Dallas is coming off a clunker, literally, as it lost its season opener in Atlanta by 26 points. The Mavericks shot just 33 percent from the floor including only 30 percent from long range on 13-43 shooting. The big two of Luke Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis scored 18 and 11 points respectively and they were surprisingly dominated down low, getting outscored 46-26 in the paint. Dallas was outrebounded 55-50 but have a better matchup here against a smaller Toronto lineup. The Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Following a blowout loss at home against Washington in its season opener, the Raptors took their frustrations out on the Celtics last night as they dominated Boston leading by as many as 36 points in a 32-point win. Not much is expected from Toronto this season with the loss of defensive stalwart Kyle Lowry and the shoulder injury to Pascal Siakam, who has averaged 22.2 ppg and 7.3 rpg the last two seasons, as he will be out until next month. Last night, they shot only 42 percent from the floor including 29 percent from long range which was pretty much the same as Boston but the Celtics committed 25 turnovers. The Raptors are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* (557) Dallas Mavericks |

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. We won with Chicago as it took down Detroit on the road by six points thanks to a huge game from Zach LeVine who finished with 34 points on 11-17 shooting including going 11-11 from the free throw line. Other than LeVine, the Bulls looked pretty average and they got just 10 points from their bench. Overall, Chicago shot just 43 percent from the floor including 30 percent from long range so there is not a whole lot to be excited about just yet with newcomers DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic and Lonzo Ball still trying to get into a rhythm. New Orleans got thumped at home by 20 points against Philadelphia and will look to rebound from that effort. The Pelicans were tied at halftime before Philadelphia broke it open in the second half. After three solid season in Memphis, Jonas Valanciunas could not get anything going inside against the Sixers interior as he finished with just nine points on 3-19 shooting. Two bright spots were Brandon Ingram who scored a team high 25 points and second year guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker chipped in 23 points after coming on strong late last season. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in non-conference games in first six games of the season, after closing out last season with three or more straight ATS losses. This situation is 36-15 ATS (70.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (545) New Orleans Pelicans |

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our Eastern Conference Game of the Month. Miami opens the season at home against the defensing NBA Champions and the Heat will be fired up for some revenge. The Bucks swept the Heat pretty easily in the playoffs last year in the first round and Miami has higher expectations this season. They averaged just 95.4 points per 100 possessions, the worst mark for any team in any series in the last five years. Miami has been one of the best defensive teams over the past decade and it should be better this season with the addition of Kyle Lowry and P.J. Tucker who will be facing his former team. Milwaukee opened the season with an easy win over Brooklyn which was without Kyrie Irving and now the Bucks hit the road to begin a three-game roadtrip. They are the favorites to win the Eastern Conference and will be facing a slightly different Miami team and one that will matchup well. Jrue Holiday exited the game on Tuesday early, so if he is unable to go, that would be a huge benefit for Miami as well. Obviously, Milwaukee will have the bulls-eye on its back when hitting the road and even more so in this case with the Heat looking for some payback. 10* (530) Miami Heat |

This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. Chicago will be aiming for the playoffs this season after falling two games short a year ago. The Bulls added two key players in Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan so this is now a legit starting five as those two join Zach LaVine, Patrick Williams and Nikola Vucevic. Williams will be replaced by Derrick Jones Jr. for the first few weeks. LaVine is coming off of a career-high in scoring at 27.4 ppg, while DeRozan has averaged over 20 ppg in eight consecutive seasons so with Ball being the true point, they should flourish. Things will be getting better in Detroit but not anytime soon. No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham takes his place on a Pistons team that has some good young pieces but it will take a while for this team to come together, if they ever do. Isaiah Stewart and Saddiq Bey showed promise as rookies last season and while the future does and while the future does look bright, they are a few years away. Detroit finished with the worst record in the NBA last season and will be in the hunt again for that dubious spot. 10* (507) Chicago Bulls |

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Tuesday Star Attraction. This is a rematch of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals from last season which Milwaukee took in seven games. The Bucks are coming off their NBA Championship season with high hopes as they improved themselves with some solid offseason moves. The Bucks are hoping Semi Ojeleye can replace what they lost with P.J. Tucker defensively with his physical stature and a knack for guarding elite players. Another big offseason signing was George Hill who replaces Jeff Teague in the second unit. Milwaukee traded for Grayson Allen and he should make an immediate impact with Donte DiVincenzo who is out with a foot injury. There is a lot of drama in Brooklyn heading into the regular season as the Nets will not allow Kyrie Irving to play or practice with them until he is vaccinated. While they still have superstars Kevin Durant and James Harden, the absence of Irving is a big one and he always has to potential to put up 30 or more points on any given night. He missed the final three games of the series against Milwaukee and his absence was notable although Harden missed time as well. This will be an electric atmosphere as this will be first time fans will have seen their team in a year and a half. 10* (502) Milwaukee Bucks |

Here we play against favorites off an upset loss by 20 points or more as a favorite, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 24-4 ATS (85.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (512) Dallas Mavericks |

03-12-21 | Nuggets -3 v. Grizzlies | Top | 103-102 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The Nuggets return to action for the first time since the NBA All-Star break on Friday, traveling to Memphis, to face a Grizzlies team as close to full strength it has been on the season. Denver was one of the hottest teams entering the All-Star break as it finished its first half of the season on a four-game win streak, despite being short-handed. The Grizzlies rely heavily on their defense creating opportunities on the other end. Memphis is currently first in opponent turnovers, forcing 16.5 giveaways a contest. As a result, it leads the league in points off turnovers at 20.3 and fast break points at 16.6 per game. But this is a strength of Denver as the Nuggets have generally done a good job of protecting the ball, as it currently sits eighth in turnovers per game at 13.6. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after successfully covering the spread in two or more consecutive games, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .501 and .600. This situation is 36-13 ATS (73.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (531) Denver Nuggets |

This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Boston has won three straight games for the first time since early January, defeating the Pacers, Wizards and the Clippers over the past week. The most recent of those victories, 117-112 against the Kawhi Leonard-less Clippers on Tuesday, pushed Boston's record to 18-17 after a stretch of 11 losses in 16 games. Toronto returned from two games postponed due to COVID-19 protocols to get stomped 129-105 Wednesday by a Pistons team that has the worst record in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors are shorthanded but that adds value to the number tonight. Here, we play against favorites in a game involving two teams with a +/- 3 ppg scoring differential after three straight wins by six points or less. This situation is 31-10 ATS (75.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (547) Toronto Raptors |

03-02-21 | Suns v. Lakers -1.5 | Top | 114-104 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. The Lakers were in sync in a 117-91 win over the Warriors on Sunday. LeBron James scored 19 points to lead six Lakers in double figures. James delivered his damage in a season-low 24 minutes as he and the Lakers starters rested the entire fourth quarter. The Suns are red hot with a 14-3 run over their last 17 games. Devin Booker scored a season-high 43 points in the Suns' 118-99 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. He scored 21 points in the third quarter alone, allowing the Suns to take command with a 21-3 surge late in the third and early fourth quarters. Phoenix rolled to its fifth victory in six games and 14th in the past 17. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games going up against an opponent after going under the total by 24 or more points total in their last three games. This situation is 26-7 ATS (78.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (528) Los Angeles Lakers |

03-01-21 | Jazz v. Pelicans +7 | Top | 124-129 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Pelicans are looking for a rebound tonight and are getting a great number. New Orleans lost for the seventh time in 10 games while facing a team that was missing five players for a sixth consecutive game because of COVID-19 protocols. Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a home underdog. The Jazz avoided a potential second consecutive loss when they beat the Magic 124-109 on Saturday in Orlando. Utah is 12-5 on the road but are outscoring opponents by just 1.7 ppg. Here, we play against road favorites off a road win by 10 points or more, when playing their 3rd game in four days. This situation is 45-26 ATS (63.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (506) New Orleans Pelicans |

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Minnesota has lost a season-worst seven straight games for the second time during a dismal season. It owns an NBA-worst 7-27 record. The Timberwolves completed a winless four-game road trip with a 128-112 loss to the Washington Wizards on Saturday for their 13th setback in the past 15 games. Phoenix has won 13 of its last 16 games to move into fourth place in the Western Conference. The Suns opened a three-game road trip with a win at Chicago on Friday but are laying a huge number tonight. Here, we play on underdogs off three or more consecutive road losses, playing on back-to-back days. This situation is 27-4 ATS (87.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (578) Minnesota Timberwolves |

This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Saturday Supreme Annihilator. Denver has lost two of its last three games and four of its last six and now sits in eighth place in the Western Conference with a tough schedule upcoming with four games in six days. Over the past two weeks, Denver has dropped out of the top 10 in rebounding percentage. Similarly, the Nuggets have fallen off in opponents second-chance production so this has to change here. The Thunder have won two straight and three of their past four, including a 118-109 victory over the visiting Hawks on Friday. This is the third and final meeting of the season and the only one in Oklahoma City. The Nuggets won the first two, 119-101 on Jan. 19 and 97-95 on Feb. 12. Here, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an upset loss as a home favorite going up against an opponent off a home win scoring 110 or more points. This situation is 27-4 ATS (87.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (559) Denver Nuggets |

This is a play on the PHOENIX SUNS for our NBA Friday Supreme Annihilator. The Suns are looking to bounce back from a rare loss as of late after falling short 124-121 against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Phoenix has won 12 of its last 15 games and remains in fourth place in the Western Conference but just a game and a half out of second place. The Suns are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. Chicago is coming off a 133-126 overtime win against the Timberwolves on Wednesday. That was the third straight win for the Bulls which are now just one game under .500 but bring in a mediocre 7-9 home record and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games against teams with a winning road record. Here, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an upset loss as a home favorite going up against an opponent off a home win scoring 110 or more points. This situation is 26-4 ATS (86.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (537) Phoenix Suns |

This is a play on the WASHINGTON WIZARDS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. After an awful start to the season, Washington is playing much better. Its five-game winning streak included road victories at Portland and the Los Angeles Lakers before the Clippers ended the run on Tuesday night. The Wizards are averaging 124.4 ppg over this stretch. Denver is coming off a 111-106 win against Portland on Tuesday night after losing three of its previous four. The Nuggets are still short-handed, with two starters, Gary Harris (adductor) and Paul Millsap (left knee) sidelined. Denver is 4-12 ATS against teams averaging 110 or more ppg this season. Here, we play against home teams in non-conference games, off a home no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite. This situation is 86-45 ATS (65.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (527) Washington Wizards |

02-24-21 | Rockets -3 v. Cavs | Top | 96-112 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. Cleveland snapped its 10-game skid with a dramatic 112-111 win over the visiting Hawks on Tuesday. Entering Tuesday, Cleveland had the longest active losing streak in the NBA. That dubious distinction now belongs to Houston following the Cavaliers victory over the Hawks. The Rockets have lost eight straight games and have gone 1-7 ATS over that stretch. Yet they are favored here in what is a great bounce back situation. Here, we play against home teams getting outscored by their opponents by nine or more ppg, after a close win by three points or less. This situation is 32-10 ATS (76.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (505) Houston Rockets |

This is a play on the GOLDEN ST. WARRIORS for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. Despite having lost starting center Mitchell Robinson to a broken hand, the Knicks have won four of five, including a 103-99 home victory over Minnesota on Sunday. The Warriors will be not only seeking to gain a measure of revenge for the earlier defeat against New York but look to bounce back from two straight tough defeats. They blew a 13-point fourth quester lead against Orlando and then blew a five-point lead in the last minute against Charlotte so the motivation will be there. They are 4-0 this season following consecutive losses. Here, we play on teams revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off two or more consecutive upset losses as a favorite. This situation is 91-50 ATS (64.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (569) Golden St. Warriors |

02-22-21 | Wizards v. Lakers -7 | Top | 127-124 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 14 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Favorite of the Month. The Wizards defeated the Blazers 118-111 on Saturday for their tenth win of the season. This was their fourth victory in a row, and this form has seen them climb up to the 13th seed in the Eastern Conference so they have a long way to go. The Lakers suffered from their second loss in a row, as the Heat defeated them 96-94. This was their third loss in their last five games and this is a situation where they can get back on track. Here, we play against road underdogs after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games going up against an opponent after going under the total by 30 or more points total in their last three games. This situation is 42-18 ATS (70 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (564) Los Angeles Lakers |

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Saturday Supreme Annihilator. Portland has won six straight games including the last three coming on the road. The Portland winning streak has been impressive as it continues to play well without injured starters CJ McCollum (fractured foot) and Jusuf Nurkic (fractured wrist). There might be a chip on the shoulder of one Damien Lillard. NBA scoring leader Bradley Beal (32.8 points per game) of the Wizards was tabbed as an All-Star starter for the first time on Thursday, while the Blazers Lillard (third at 29.8) was passed over for a starting spot. The Wizards are also playing well with a season-best three consecutive victories. They began the streak with double-digit victories over the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets before delivering a solid 130-128 home win over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a win by three points or less going up against an opponent after scoring 105 points or more in three straight games. This situation is 92-53 ATS (63.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (534) Portland Trail Blazers |

This is a play on the GOLDEN ST. WARRIORS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Golden St. is coming off a win against Miami on Wednesday for its second straight win and fourth in its last five games. The Warriors hit the road where they are 2-2 in their last four but those came against Dallas and San Antonio. The Warriors are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite. We won with Orlando last time out as it rolled the Knicks but this is a different setting. The 18-point margin of victory was their second largest of the season and that overvalues them now. The Magic are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win. Here, we play against home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a win by 15 points or more going up against an opponent after scoring 105 points or more. This situation is 41-16 ATS (71.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (501) Golden St. Warriors |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. With four straight wins, the Nets are 18-12 and have moved up to second place in the Eastern Conference. They are 13-6 since January 12th, 8-3 against the Western Conference, and 8-1 against the top six teams in each conference. That being said, they are without Kevin Durant tonight who is sitting out with a hamstring injury. The Lakers are 22-7 and in second place in the Western Conference after winning eight of their last nine games. They lead the league in points allowed per 100 possessions (105.1), and they are fourth in opponent effective field goal percentage (51.2), and fifth in opponent field goal percentage (44.9). The Lakers are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 home games off a road win. 10* (572) Los Angeles Lakers |
