West Virginia at Oklahoma State 9:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Mountaineers- West Virginia has already had a 'comeback' season at 11-2 as they were 15-21 under Bob Huggins. Oklahoma State was blown out in their Big-12 opener 85-50 by Texas Tech as they scored just 20 points in the second half but respond after defeats going 6-1 ATS following a straight-up loss. That fits well with against the Mountaineers who are 8-17-1 ATS in their last 26 games as a favorite and the fact that the Cowboys are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as an underdog. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

01-06-20 | Bucks v. Spurs +7.5 | 104-126 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Bucks- These two played a very physical affair in Milwaukee Saturday night as the Bucks grabbed a 127-118 non-cover victory. San Antonio tried to challenge Antetokounmpo. But fouling the Super-star didn't work as Giannis converted 12 free throws. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich admitted that the Spurs 'fouled too much' and they have to play better defense. San Antonio has their work cut out as the Bucks are 5-1 ATS in their last six as road favorites and the Spurs are 7-20 ATS in their all 27 home games but, are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight-up loss. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Utah at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Jazz- When these two clubs met in early November Utah scored a season high 128 points as Donovan Mitchell also scored a season high 37 points. New Orleans of course had a rough start to the season but have played well of late winning five of their last six. Speaking of playing well of last the Jazz have won their last five games SU and are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games overall and are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 meetings in New Orleans.

Detroit at L.A. Lakers- 10:00 ET Lakers (-) over Pistons- Detroit ended a 3-game losing streak last night as our Power Play winner over Golden State but have still lost nine of their last 10 games overall while the Lakers have won four straight after a four-game losing streak. The Pistons are just 9-27-1 ATS in their last 37 road games and are 0-4 when playing in the second of back-to-back games. Add that Detroit is 1-8 ATS in their last nine meetings in Los Angeles and the Lakers are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 at home against teams with losing records. Take the LAKERS! |

Minnesota at Cleveland 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Timberwolves- The lowly Cavaliers who have lost their last three had a mini steak where they won four of five including a win at Minnesota. The Timberwolves who are 3-2 since injuries to Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins after an 11-game losing streak and are just 1-4 ATS as favorites and 1-6-1 ATS after a win of 10 points or more. Cleveland who is 8-17 ATS in their last 25 games overall are 5-2 as a home underdog and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings against the T'wolves. Take CLEVELAND! |

But, the Heat had hit a lull where they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games and have had a rash of turnovers as their shooting percentage has dropped. Portland who is just 1-5-1 ATS overall in their last seven games themselves are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take the TRAILBLAZERS! |

01-05-20 | Michigan v. Michigan State -9 | Top | 69-87 | Win | 100 | 1 h 1 m | Show |
Michigan at Michigan State 1:30 ET Spartans (-) over Wolverines- Wait a second here...my first thoughts when viewing this matchup is that the line is awful high considering the rivalry between these two schools. Then when I noticed that #13 Michigan the heavy underdog is ranked higher than the #16 Spartans and that peaks my interest. This 'price' draws even more thought when I see that Michigan is 10-4 AST as an underdog and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall, so why such a high line. After a rocky start Michigan State has reeled off six straight wins with the last winning by an average of 35.5 points. State is 21-10 ATS in their last 31 home game and are 23-8ATS against teams with winning percentage about .600. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |

01-04-20 | San Diego State v. Utah State -2.5 | 77-68 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
San Diego State at Utah State 10:00 ET Aggies (+) over Aztecs- One of the two remaining undefeated teams No. 12 San Diego State travels to Logan to play Utah State who is undefeated 8-0 at home. The Aggies may have gotten caught in a look-ahead situation last time out as they fell at UNLV 70-53 and never really get it a shot. Last season's Mountain West Conference Player of the Year Sam Merrill was held to 10 points in Las Vegas and I expect a huge rebound game from him here. SDS is 5-0 ATS in their five road games as favorites but the home team is 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these two. Utah State is 5-2 ATS as home dogs and get the money here. Take UTAH STATE! |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Pistons -3 v. Warriors | 111-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Detroit at Golden State 8:30 ET Pistons (-) over Warriors- The Pistons are a group of walking wounded as Blake Griffin, Marcus Morris and Luke Kennard are battling injury bugs. Talking about injuries there is no other team in the NBA that has had the hardship that the Warriors have had to endure this season. As thin as Golden State's roster has already been this season there are more trouble ahead as D'Angelo Russell, Kevon Looney and Willie Cauley-Stein are questionable. Detroits Andre Drummond who has 28 triple-doubles is o the trading block and should have another great performance just to get away from the Motor City. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Celtics v. Bulls +105 | 111-104 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Boston at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Celtics- Boston has won seven of their last eight but will have a pair of key players missing tonight in Chicago where Kemba Walker and center Enes Kanter are questionable. The Celtics of course have great trends supporting their cause as they are 9-4 as favorites and 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. The Bulls who are improving on a daily basis are 8-1 ATS after a SU loss and are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 as underdogs as well as 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Take CHICAGO! |

The Nets on the other hand are 7-2 ATS in their last nine at home and they are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a loss. Take BROOKLYN! |

01-04-20 | Missouri +8.5 v. Kentucky | 59-71 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 41 m | Show | |
Missouri at Kentucky 2:00 ET Tigers (+) over Wildcats- Kentucky is coming off of a 78-70 overtime win at home Saturday their tenth straight home game and they have a victory over then No. 1 Michigan State as well. Missouri who opened the season 4-4 with losses to Xavier, Butler and Illinois have now won four straight and are 6-1 ATS following a ATS win. The Wildcats are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall and are 1-4 ATS against a team with a winning record. The bad news for Missouri is that the home team is 7-0 ATS in the past seven meetings. Still, the Tigers are now playing with confidence and will take this one down the the final buzzer. Take MISSOURI! |

01-04-20 | Iowa +3 v. Penn State | Top | 86-89 | Push | 0 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
Iowa vs Penn State 2:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Nittany Lions- Two more Top-25 ranked teams in the Big Ten hook-up at the Palestra in Philadelphia a place where neither of these two teams have much experience. Both clubs are on 4-game winning streaks with Penn State's biggest win over Maryland at home and Iowa has wins over Cincinnati and Minnesota. After that win State vaulted into the Top-25 the first time that they have been ranked since 1996. Iowa is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games on neutral sites while the Lions are 16-6-2 ATS in their last 24 games overall. The Hawkeyes are led by Big Ten leading scorer Luka Garza who is averaging 21.6 points and 10 rebounds per game. More big game experience for the Hawkeyes. Take IOWA! |

01-03-20 | Hawks +11 v. Celtics | 106-109 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Boston 7:05 ET Hawks (+) over Celtics- Boston is getting healthy and have won xis of their last seven while the Hawks remain grounded despite breaking a 10-game losing streak on Monday with a win at Orlando. The win came as ball hog and 'gunner' Trae Young is sidelined with an ankle injury and the rest of the squad understands the 'team' concept. The Celtics have won seven of the last eight meetings and are 5-2 ATS at home against Atlanta. Five men that play as a team can surprise even the best of NBA clubs. Take ATLANTA! |

01-03-20 | Blazers -6.5 v. Wizards | 122-103 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
Portland at Washington 7:00 ET Trailblazers (-) over Wizards- Carmelo Anthony's 'return' to New York was a disaster as the Trailblazers were blown out by the lowly New York Knicks (Megabucks winner) and admit that they just got 'outplayed' despite Anthony's season high 26 points. Today, we have Portland 0-5-1 ATS in their last six on the road and is 6-12 SU on the road overall a road favored at Washington. The Wizards are 1-4 ATS at home in their last five and 2-8 ATS against teams with losing records. Take PORTLAND! |

Miami at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Heat- Sometimes in sports one team may seem to have another club's 'number' despite the rival being an inferior squad. The Miami Heat have won three NBA titles while Orlando has yet to even appear in an NBA Final and yet the in-state rival has won eight of the last 11 meeting including 3-1 last season. The Heat are 16-1 SU at home but just 9-8 SU on the road and are 1-4-2 ATS in their last seven in Back-to-back contests.

St. Mary's at San Francisco 11:00 ET Dons (+) over Gaels- Oh gone are the glory days of Bill Russell and K.C. Jones (some need to look that up) when the Dons ruled the college basketball world. Still, at 11-4 San Francisco has become more respectable and are looking to compete in the West Coast conference against the likes of Gonzaga, Brigham Young and tonight St. Mary's. The Gaels have won four straight and 9-of-10 with the lone loss to No. 20 Dayton and are undefeated since.

The Thunder have surprised many of the pundits with their winning ways are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog but are 0-6 ATS in their last six trips to San Antonio. But, this is a different Spurs team that is just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games at home and 5-16 ATS as favorites. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

Minnesota at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Bucks (-) over Timberwolves- Minnesota was a nice win for 'us' over Brooklyn last time out especially because they were without their two top scorers in Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.

Portland at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Trailblazers- Things can change pretty quickly in the NBA and the fall of the Trailblazers didn't take long. Portland who made to the Western Conference Finals last season are 14-20 on the years having lost their last four and don't have much hope of making the playoffs at all this season. New York hasn't had aspirations of getting to the post season and they fired their coach David Fizdale when they were 4-19 and they have gone 5-6 since under Mike Miller. The Blazers have won six straight in the series but that ends tonight! Take the KNICKS! |

Denver at Houston 7:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Rockets- James Harden is questionable because of a sprained toe and the Rockets may need him against the surging Nuggets who have won nine of ten and get Houston while they are hurting. The Rockets may also be without center Clint Capela who is nursing a sore knee. Denver has struggled in Houston where they have lost their last six encounters but this 'number' tell us something else. Take the NUGGETS! |

Phoenix at Portland 10:00 ERT Suns (+) over Trailblazers- Phoenix who just ended an eight-game losing streak with a win over Sacramento and hope their fortunes continue against the struggling Trailblazers who have lost their last three. After dropping a 128-120 decision to the Lakers Saturday coach Terry Stotts was happy with the loss and that just doesn't bode well for Portland. The Suns are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Portland and get the cash here. Take PHOENIX! |

12-30-19 | Harvard v. San Francisco -5 | Top | 84-81 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
Harvard at San Francisco 9:00 ET Dons (-) over Crimson- Sunday I thought it odd that Harvard was favored on the road against a Pac-12 team in California and they delivered with a 71-63 win over the Golden Bears. Now, Harvard going to San Francisco where the Dons have struggled as a home favorite 3-8 ATS and the Crimson are 21-5-1 ATS as road underdogs. But, what gets me here is that the Crimson are favored and defeat a Pac-12 club and yet come up and underdog against a West Coast Conference team. Take SAN FRANCISCO |

Seton Hall at DePaul 8:30 ET Pirates (+) over Blue Demons- This is a comeback in epic proportions as DePaul has pulled themselves up from the depths and are 12-1 on the season. The Blue Demons who went three years winning only four Big East conference games are hosting Seton Hall who has the Big East's preseason player of the year in Myles Powell. Powell has missed the last two games (both wins) because of concession protocol and status is still questionable. This is the Big East opener for both and the Pirates are 7-2 ATS in conference openers under coach Kevin Willard. The Demons have made a leap this season but fall short here. Take SETON HALL! |

12-30-19 | Nets v. Wolves +3 | 115-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Nets- It just doesn't look like the expectations in Minnesota are just not being met. The Timberwolves just broke an 11-game losing streak with a 2OT win at Sacramento and then promptly lost to the Cavaliers their next time out. The disappointing Nets have lost three of their last four with their lone win coming over lowly Atlanta but are 9-2 ATS following an ATS loss. Brooklyn is still without a pair of guards as Kyrie 'World is Flat' Irving is still out and Caris LeVert is expected back in January. Take MINNESOTA! |

But, Chicago has found a groove and have won five of their last six including a 116-81 win as a 9.5-point favorite over Atlanta last time out.

Arkansas at Indiana 6:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Hoosiers- A pair of unranked teams with each with a single loss meet for the third time in the past year with Arkansas winning the regular season match last November and Indiana getting the best of the Razorbacks in the NIT. Not only are their records similar but both teams received the lone losses on December 7 and neither has played since winning on December 21. For Arkansas the trends are not very pretty as they are 1-5 ATS in their last six overall and they are 0-5 ATS after a straight-up win while the Hoosiers are 5-1 ATS at home.

12-29-19 | Harvard -3 v. California | Top | 71-63 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show |
Harvard at California 6:00 ET Crimson (-) over Golden Bears- Really now...it seems a bit 'off' that in this meeting of the 'minds' has Harvard an Ivy League school favored on the road 3,000 miles from home against a major conference the Pac-12. This even becomes more interesting when 'we' see that the Bears are 6-1 SU at home and the Crimson are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. This one smells worst than Boston's and Berkley's politics. Take HARVARD! |

Atlanta at Chicago 8:05 ET Bulls (-) over Hawks- Things for the NBA's worst team took another mis-step yesterday as Atlanta's Trae Young turned his ankle and will be out of sorts for awhile. Chicago has already won the first two meetings against the Hawks by a total of 54 points and the Bulls are the largest favorite of the season. The Bulls force a league high 17.7 turnovers a game and although Young would be susceptible to turning the ball over the rest of the club still won't be able to pick-up the slack. The Bulls who are 7-0 ATS following a SU loss are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings with the Hawks. Take CHICAGO! |

Indiana at New Orleans 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Pacers- The surging Pelicans have won two in-a-row and neither of those wins came at home where they are 0-6 ATS in their last six as hosts. Indiana is off of a heartbreaking loss at Miami last night and are 2-5 ATS in the second of back-to-back contests. For whatever reason the Pacers seem to struggle against New Orleans going 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings. The improving Pels are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games and are 15-7 ATS after a win of 10-points or more. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Milwaukee at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Bucks- The team with the NBA's best record (27-5) and will be paired against the team with the leagues worst record Atlanta (6-25). The Bucks have won nine of the past 10 meetings over the Hawks but are off of a loss where they trailed the 76ers by 29-points at one time and their weak outside shooting was exposed. There is outside exposure for Atlanta as they rarely even try shots that are inside the arc. But, with the return of John Collins Atlanta has some inside presence. Take ATLANTA! |

Philadelphia at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over 76ers- The last time Orlando defeated a team with a winning record was in November and that was a home win over the 76ers. Philadelphia is just pounded Milwaukee 121-109 Christmas Day (Megabucks winner) and have won their last three. In that victory the 76ers set a franchise record with 21 3-pointers made and even coach Brett Brown said 'it was just one of those nights.' The Magic just defeated the Bulls at home after having lost their previous three on the road. Philly is 1-4 ATS as road favorites and are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings. Good spot for Sixers letdown. Take ORLANDO! |

The Mavericks have been without Luca Doncic the past four games and he may well return tonight against the Spurs who are a putrid 9-19-1 ATS this season and 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games as an underdog. Dallas is 9-2 in their last 11 games as a favorite but are just 5-11-1 ATS at home in their last 17 against a team with losing record. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

The Thunder meanwhile have won three more games including comebacks that 24-point comeback and an 18-point comeback win over Chicago.

Houston at Golden State 5:00 ET Warriors (+) over Rockets- This is going to be the NBA's 'gift' to the Warriors for all the greatness they have bestowed upon us in recent season. This year of course they are being taken to the would shed night in and night out as they have won just seven of 31 games to date. But, Christmas is here and the NBA is very giving.

They are expecting Gordon Hayward to return soon The Celtics certainly have the odds makers respect as they are forced on the road against the reigning NBA Champions. We all thought that the loss of Kawhi Leonard would have a defeating impact of the Raptors season...well, not so fast. Toronto is 21-9 and 5-1 ATS in their last six and 5-1-2 ATS in their last eight as a home dog! Raptors would love to even the season series having lost at Boston 112-106 in October. Take TORONTO! |

Washington at Hawaii 11:00 ET Rainbow Warriors (+) over Huskies- The Diamond head Classic will pit Washington against host Hawaii and like football when team get to the 'Islands' they juts seem to lose focus on why they are there. To start with here the Huskies are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games while Hawaii are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Washington has won their last two following a hard fought loss against Gonzaga and may actually lose this game on the floor (take the points). Take HAWAII! |

Houston at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Rockets- The Sacramento Kings are still look to get to the NBA playoffs and with the return of Marvin Bagley III their chances are increasing. The Kings had a chance to get to .500 but dropped four of five on the road and now return home to host the inconsistent Rockets. Houston who has won their last two on the road and are 4-1 ATS in their last five away from home but are still just 3-5 ATS in their last eight games.

The Jazz have come alive behind center Rudy Gobert who has had 12 straight double-doubles and is averaging 17.4 points per games and 14.3 rebounds. Miami has had their way with the league to date this season going 13-4 ATS as a favorite and 12-3-1 ATS at home while the Jazz are just 2-7 ATS in their last seven as a road underdog. But, Utah is hot and are 4-1 ATS in the last five visits to Miami. Take the JAZZ! |

Toronto is coming off of their biggest comeback win in Franchise history as they roared back from a 30-point deficit against Dallas Sunday scoring 47 points (yep 47 points) in the fourth quarter. Now, the Raptors take to the road where they are 8-5 SU and just 2-5 ATS as a road underdog. This is the second of back-to-back games and Indiana is 9-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games as home favorites. Take INDIANA! |

L.A. Clippers at Oklahoma City 7:05 ET Thunder (+) over Clippers- Oklahoma City opened the season 5-10 but have turned things around since going 9-4 SU and a win here will lift them over .500. Los Angeles is coming off of a 134-109 win at San Antonio last night and there is always a question as to whether Kawhi Leonard will play or not in the second of back-to-backs. The Clippers are 7-2 in their last nine games as favorites but they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games at OKC and the Thunder are 8-3 in their last 11 as an underdog. Take the THUNDER! |

12-22-19 | Yale +5 v. Clemson | Top | 54-45 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show |
Yale at Clemson 4:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- The first thing that drew me to this contest is that an ACC club is such a meager favorite over an Ivy League school. I mean Yale is 9-3 and has won six straight but hasn't played since December 11 when they defeated U Mass. The Bulldogs have three losses two of which came against major conferences as they lost to Oklahoma State and Penn State before starting their current win streak. Clemson had lost four straight before upending mighty Jacksonville. Tigers have no bite and the claws don't exist. Tae YALE! |

Houston at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Rockets- Last I looked Houston was getting pummeled by the Clippers and then the second half started and the Rockets blasted off outscoring LA by 18 points in the third quarter. Knowing the Rockets as I believe I do I fully expect them to rest on their laurels and take this game against the Suns for granted. But, Phoenix is an explosive team that can match points with the high scoring Rockets. The Suns average 118.6 points and get the cash here. Take PHOENIX! |

L.A. Clippers at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Clippers- What happened the other night? When I tuned in the Clippers had a huge double-digit 15-point halftime lead over the Rockets and then completely fell apart in the 3rd quarter getting out-scored by 18 points and committing number technicals down the stretch. San Antonio climbs back to .500 and has won five of their last eight and are doing it with defense which they play much better at home where they are 73-14 lifetime over the Clippers. Take the SPURS! |

12-21-19 | Northwestern +5.5 v. DePaul | 78-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Northwestern at DePaul 8:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Blue Demons- This is a battle of Chicago schools and right now it appears that DePaul has the edge sporting an 11-1 SU record while Northwestern is struggling at 5-5. The home team is 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings but the Wildcats have been favored in the last six meetings. That will be the difference here as their roles have been reversed. This time the dog once again gets the money. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

Creighton at Arizona State 8:30 ET Sun Devils (+) over Bluejays- Creighton enters this fray on a four-game winning streak while the Sun Devils are off of an embarrassing 40-point loss to St. Mary's. The Bluejays are a bit under-sized and are averaging 79 points per game but are 1-2 SU on the road while the Sun Devils are 29-6 in regular non-conference games in the past three seasons including 18-1 at home. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

San Diego State vs Utah 6:30 ET Aztecs (-) over Utes- Undefeated and No. 20 ranked San Diego State (11-0) gets a shot at Utah who is fresh off of an upset win Wednesday night over Kentucky. The Utes shot 55% for that game including 60% with 3-pointers and I don't expect them to have that kind of success against State's defense which ranks 13th nationally surrendering just 56/6 points per contest while holding opponents to 36.7% field goal rate and just 25.8% froM behind the arc. Take SAN DIEGO STATE! |

Atlanta at Brooklyn 6:00 ET Hawks (+) over Nets- The Hawks fly high without playing defense and are just 6-23 SU but a decent 13-16 ATS. Brooklyn has won the last six meetings but are still without Kyrie Irving and his absence is beginning to show as the Nets weak links are becoming more visible although they are 11-6 without the 'World is Flat' genius. Atlanta is 1-10 SU in their last 11 road games but catch the Nets here. Take ATLANTA! |

Purdue vs Butler 2:30 ET Boilermakers (+) over Bulldogs- No. 1y Butler has just one blemish on their record as they dropped a 53-52 decision at No. 10 Baylor and have shown grit in that loss. Purdue at 7-4 has player the tougher schedule and have defeated then undefeated and No. 7 ranked Virginia. The Boilermakers rely on their defense that allows opponents just 59 points per game and they hold opponents to 24 percent shooting from behind the arc. Take PURDUE! |

Kansas at Villanova 12:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Jayhawks- No. 1 Kansas is riding a nine game winning streak and haven't lost since opening night to Duke while Villanova has won four straight after a rough start but are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games overall. The Jayhawks are 5-0 ATS in their last five games and the visitor is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings but the underdog is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. This is a game that the Wildcats have had circled on their schedule and they will be ready today. Take VILLANOVA! |

Orlando at Portland 10:00 ET Magic (+) over Trailblazers- Both Orlando and Portland are 12-16 and both (especially the Blazers) have been a disappointment so far this season. The Magic just haven't been able to close out games blowing leads in each of their last two contests losing to Denver and Utah in the final minutes. The Trailblazers who make it to the Conference Finals last season are just not the same this year and they have in reality given up on the season after the signing of Carmelo Anthony who can only help his individual stats but rarely helps a team win. Take the MAGIC! |

Dallas at Philadelphia 8:00 ET 76ers (-) over Mavericks- Philadelphia was handed their first home loss to Miami Wednesday and it was their second consecutive after getting blown out at Brooklyn 109-89. Critics were on Joel Embiid's case a week ago and he responded with a dominating performance at Boston in a 115-109 victory. Since then Embiid has become pedestrian once agin. Dallas who has been outstanding on the road going 10-1 ATS in their last 11 and is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Mavericks once again will be without Super-Star Luca Doncic and his absence will be felt here. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

12-20-19 | Grizzlies v. Cavs +2.5 | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Memphis at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Grizzlies- How can I do it? How can I possibly come back with the Cavaliers after they blow a 24-point third quarter lead in their non-cover win over Charlotte on Wednesday. Memphis like the Cavs blew their own 24-point lead Wednesday and ended up losing the game to Oklahoma City 126-122. But, with Kevin Love back in the lineup Cleveland has a strong inside game paired with Tristen Thompson that can control the game inside the paint. The Cavaliers won both meetings at home last season and can get it done here. Take CLEVELAND! |

L.A. Lakers at Milwaukee Bucks (-) over Lakers- This is like an old fashion shoot-out between the fastest 'guns' in the West. Both the Lakers and Bucks share the NBA's best record at 24-4 and have been denominate doing it. He funny thing about this matchup is that with all that winning both clubs are coming off of a loss. Milwaukee had an 18-game win streak ended by Dallas 120-110 and look to rebound here against LA. The Lakers got ambushed at Indiana 106-102 (Megabucks winner) and will be without Anthony Davis to night and Kyle Kuzma and Rondo are still out. Love LeBron but I am part Greek so go with the 'Freak.' Take MILWAUKEE! |

Utah has recovered from a dismal road trip and have won four of five SU but are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win. The Hawks on the other hand are 6-2 after an ATS loss.

12-19-19 | Maryland v. Seton Hall +6.5 | 48-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Maryland at Seton Hall 7:00 ET Pirates (+) over Terrapins- I was so looking forward to this match-up as Seton Hall is one of my 'dark horse' clubs that could surprise opponents all season. But, an issue has come up with the Concession suffered by their leading scorer and best all-around player Myles Powell who is averaging 21.2 points per game. Maryland is off of their first loss of the season to Penn State (Megabucks winner) while the Pirates are off of a loss to Rutgers (Money Game winner). With or without Powell the Big East Player of the Year the Pirates are the side as they are 7-1 ATS at home as an underdog and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Take SETON HALL! |

St Mary's vs. Arizona State 9:00 ET Gaels over Sun Devils- Arizona State behind coach Bobby Hurley has one of the top duals in the country with forward Romello White and one of the nation's top point-guards in Remy Martin who is averaging 20.3 points while shooting 46% from the field. St. Mary's has one of the top guards as well in Jordan Ford who is averaging 20.4 points while shooting 50.3% from the field. The fact that the Gaels are favored in Arizona raises my eyebrows. Take ST. MARY'S! |

North Carolina at Gonzaga 9:00 ET Tar Heels (+) over Bulldogs- These national powers are moving in opposite directions as North Carolina has dropped their last three and No. 2 Gonzaga has won three straight after getting blown out by Michigan 82-64. The Tar Heels are beset with injuries and cold shooting but have defeated the Bulldogs in their last three meetings. Bad news for the Tar Heels is that are 6-17-1 ATS in their last 24 games as a road underdog but coaching and pride will keep this one close. Take NORTH CAROLINA! |

Miami at Philadelphia 7:35 ET 76ers (-) over Heat- A pair of the more powerful NBA squads square off in Philadelphia where the 76ers remain the lone undefeated (13-0) team when they host Miami tonight. The storyline for tonight's game will not only be the status of Joel Embiid but the return of Jimmy Butler who has become the Heat's team leader. Embiid has three straight double-doubles before sitting out Sunday's loss at Brooklyn. It should be noted the Heat are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against clubs with winning home records and the 76ers are 10-4 following a SU loss. Take the 76ERS! |

Charlotte is 6-1 ATS when playing teams on the road with a losing home record but the Hornets are ranked 26th in NBA rebounding differential at minus 2.9. But, the Cavs come up favored here as they are 12-4-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings and 5-2-1 in as hosts. Take CLEVELAND! |

12-18-19 | Raptors v. Pistons +3.5 | Top | 112-99 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
Toronto at Detroit 7:05 ET Pistons (+) over Raptors- I question why this line is so low when we are aware that the Pistons two big guns Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin are day-to-day. Okay, so Toronto is 15-6 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite while Detroit is 6-15-1 ATS as an underdog but the Raptors are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Piston have responded after a poor performance going 5-1 ATS after an ATS loss. In a surprise the Pistons get it done tonight. Take DETROIT! |

Tennessee at Cincinnati Bearcats (+) over Volunteers- Both of these clubs are coming off of losses with Tennessee losing to Memphis at home while the Bearcats lost at home against Colgate. The Volunteers who play great defense is shooting just 42% from the floor and have yet to allow 70 points to an opponent this season. The Bearcats had a five-point lead with just over a minute to go and allowed Colgate to score the final six points for a 67-66 loss. Tennessee is 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall while Cincinnati is just 2-10 in their last 12 as an underdog and only 8-23 ATS in their last 31 games overall. These trends are ugly on each side but I'll take the home dog here. Take CINCINNATI! |

Orlando at Utah 9:00 ET Magic (+) over Jazz- The Magic have been hanging on tight the past three weeks without All-Star center Nikola Vucevic and with his return Sunday they scored a season high 130 points against the Pelicans. Although Utah is 13-4 SU against the Magic they are just 2-5 ATS as hosts in the last seven meetings and Orlando is 5-0 ATS in their last five road games overall and add that Utah is 0-4 ATS after scoring 100 or more points the previous game.

Oklahoma at Creighton 8:30 ET Sooners (+) over Blue Jays- Neither of these clubs are trending in the right direction as Oklahoma is 1-5 ATS in the last six overall and 1-4 ATS in their last five road games while Creighton is 2-6 ATS following a SU win and are 1-5 ATS at home against teams with winning records. The Bluejays are 7-0 at home this season and are coming off of a 31-point win over Texas Rio Grande Valley but will be facing tougher competition tonight who lost to Wichita State 80-75 as they faltered in the final minutes. This time they finish the task. Take OKLAHOMA! |

12-17-19 | Nets v. Pelicans +2.5 | Top | 108-101 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
Brooklyn at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Nets- Defense is the key to the Pelicans 12-game losing streak as they don't play much of it allowing 121.4 points per contest as they await the debut of Zion Williamson. Brooklyn on the other end of the perspective just took down Philadelphia 109-89 and their defense was the focal point of their victory. The Nets are 10-5 SU without Kyrie (The World is Flat) Irving and 4-7 with him so it's 'addition by subtraction.' Although Brooklyn is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall they are just 3-8 ATS after winning a game by more than ten points. Take NEW OREANS! |

Indiana is on a 3-game win streak of their own and are 11-3 SU at home. As a matter of fact the Pacers have defeated the Lakers six straight times at home and LA hasn't won there since March 2013. The Lakers Kyle Kuzma has missed the last three games and most likely will be sidelined for this encounter as well. Take INDIANA! |

Miami at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Heat- Along with Dallas the Miami Heat have been one of the more pleasant surprises in the NAB this season currently at 19-7 they invade Memphis where the 7-19 Grizzlies will they and win their four game in five tries. Miami is off of an overtime 122-118 win at Dallas after falling to the Lakers the night before (Friday). Considering the records of these two I believe that this 'line' is a bit short and the Book-makers are looking to take all of the Heat action they can get. Here is Miami 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and 10-4 as a road favorite and yet are such a meager favorite here. It appears that injuries to the Heat's starting line-up will take its toll here as the Grizzlies younger player begin to mature. Take MEMPHIS! |

Sacramento at Golden State 8:30 ET Warriors (+) over Kings- I guess turn-about is fair play as the Warriors who have had the best record in the NBA year after year are now at the bottom of the heap with the league's worst record. Today, Golden State will host the Kings a team that they have dominated in the recent past winning all four meetings last season and five straight in the series overall. But, this season it appears that these two have reversed roles with the Kings 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games overall and the Warriors struggling at home going 2-7 ATS in their last nine as hosts.

N.C State at NC Greensboro 3:00 ET Spartans (+) over Wolfpack- Now, does this seem right? An 7-2 ACC school like NC State is a meager favorite at Greensboro and that just doesn't look right. State has won three of the last four meetings but covered on once and the Wolfpack is 0-5 ATS when play a team with a better than .500 record. Greensboro id 4-0-1 ATS in their last five as a home underdog and this 'price' is way to shallow. Take the SPARTANS! |

Detroit at Houston 9:00 ET Pistons (+) over Rockets- Listen I understand that the Pistons are a major project but I still believe that Houston is one of the most over-rated team in the league and when they get to the playoffs it will be the same old story. The trends behind Detroit are ugly as they are 1-6-1 as a road dog in their last eight tries and are 2-13-1 ATS against a team with a winning record but the Rockets are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. Houston is 20-42 ATS after having scored 125 or more points the previous game and are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings including 0-4 ATS at home. Take DETROIT! |

Los Angeles of course is contending and have won four straight going 4-0 ATS in their last four as favorites. I imagine that the Clippers are gong to try a little loan management tonight as this is there second of back-to-back contests and their three road games in four nights. Taker CHICAGO! |

Rutgers on the other hand has a balanced attack that has nine different players seeing at least 10 minutes playing time each game. This is a bit of a rivalry and the underdog is 19-7 ARS in their last 26 meetings. Take RUTGERS! |
