Toronto at New York 1:10 ET Raptors (+) over Knicks- The last time the Knicks had a winning streak of eight or more games was the last season that the qualified for the playoffs in 2013. Currently with the NBA's longest win streak the Knicks come up a very short favorite at home where they are 20-10 SU and are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings in New York. But, Toronto is on a mini streak of their own having 'covered' four straight games. It's a tough call to make against the red-hot Knicks but the 'line' is the clue. Take TORONTO! |

Memphis at Portland 10:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Trailblazers- This is the first meeting between these two clubs this season and they both are playoff bound with the seeding the only question. Memphis is 18-10 ATS on the road this season while Portland is just 13-17 ATS at home and have lost their last two games by one-point and eight of the past 11 and the Blazers are just 4-10 ATS against teams with winning road records. The Grizzlies have been playing better basketball as they are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games overall including 6-0 ATS in their last six games as underdogs. Take MEMPHIS! |

04-23-21 | Cavs +2 v. Hornets | Top | 102-108 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 45 m | Show |
Cleveland at Charlotte 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Hornets- Although Charlotte has a better record by 7-games than the Cavaliers they are a virtual pick-em at home as they have lost six of their last seven games and are off a beatdown at Chicago. Cleveland has won the previous two meetings this season and are 7-2 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with losing SU records. Surprisingly enough the Cavaliers are 14-6-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings and 6-1 ATS at Charlotte. Take CLEVELAND! |

04-23-21 | Heat -5 v. Hawks | 103-118 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
Miami at Atlanta 7:30 ET Heat (-) over Hawks- Again the 'price' on this game is very suspect as the Hawks have a 1-game lead over Miami and yet are an underdog at home. This is due most likely to the return of players for the Heat who have been hit with a rash of injuries and COVID issues. Atlanta has their own injury problems as Trae Young is scoring 25.3 PPG but turned his ankle and was removed from the game against the Knicks in the third quarter not to return and besides him the Hawks have five other players dealing with healthy issues. Miami is 7-3 Ats in their last 10 games as road favorites and Atlanta is 1-6 ATS against teams with winning records. Take MIAMI! |

04-22-21 | Lakers +2 v. Mavs | 110-115 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 23 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Dallas 9:30 ET Lakers (+) over Mavericks- Although Los Angeles is playing with a skeleton crew because of the severity of their injuries they have been totally professional and come to play every night. The Lakers are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following a straight-up loss and are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. The struggling Mavericks are 0-6 ATS in their last six games and are 3-7 ATS with no rest and 0-5 ATS as favorites. LA is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings including 4-1 ATS at Dallas. Take the LAKERS! |

04-22-21 | Suns -5.5 v. Celtics | Top | 86-99 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 54 m | Show |
Phoenix at Boston 7:00 ET Suns (-) over Celtics- These 'prices' on NBA games have had so many anomalies because of the virus and this is one of them. Phoenix is vastly improved this year but so much so that they are this strong a favorite non the road against the Eastern Conference leader. The Suns have won 13-of-15 including an outright win over the 76ers last night and are 10-4 ATS playing with no rest. The Celtics are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games and are only 5-17 ATS in the last 22 meetings including 0-4 ATS at home. Take PHOENIX! |

04-21-21 | Bulls v. Cavs +2.5 | 105-121 | Win | 100 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
Chicago at Cleveland 7:10 ET Cavaliers (+) over Bulls- At 24-33 Chicago is tied with Washington for the 10th and final playoff spot with the new format adding two extra teams for a 'Playdown' to qualify for the playoffs. Cleveland coach Bernie Bickerstaff has chastised his team's lack of effort last time out against Detroit and I expect a full game hustle out of the Cavaliers. The Bulls are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games nut have dominated the Cavs 20-6 ATS in Cleveland. Still, this time around it is CLEVELAND! |

04-21-21 | Warriors v. Wizards +2.5 | Top | 114-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
Golden State at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards over Warriors- The NBA's two top scorers will face off in Washington where Bradley Beal will try and recapture the top scoring spot from a red-hot Stephen Curry who scorched the 76ers with 49-points and has shot 55% from 3-point range while leading the Warriors to wins in 3-of-4. But, the Wizards have won five in-a-row and 7-of-8 including a 110-107 win at Golden State while the Warriors are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven meetings in Washington. Take the WIZARDS! |

04-20-21 | Nets v. Pelicans -2.5 | Top | 134-129 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 14 m | Show |
Brooklyn at New Orleans 7:30 ET Pelicans over Nets- Bot these clubs blew late leads in their last contests one good Nets blowing to Miami and one bad Pelicans falling in OT at New York. So now, New Orleans is the host and somehow become the favorite. Brooklyn is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as road underdogs and the Pelicans are just 6-13 ATS as home favorites. Tell me how this makes any sense as the Nets are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. As a matter of fact this is now my 'Don't Make Sense' game of the day. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

04-19-21 | Grizzlies +6.5 v. Nuggets | 137-139 | Win | 100 | 12 h 22 m | Show | |
Memphis at Denver 9:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Nuggets- No Jamal...no worries! Since the season ending injury to Denver's high-scoring Jamal Murray but the Nuggets have managed to pull together and won their last two without him. Led by leading scorer Nikola Jokic the Mile-High guys have won four straight against teams with winning records. Memphis has won 7-of-10 and are 5-0 ATS in their last five games as underdogs 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games and are 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take MEMPHIS! |

Chicago at Boston 7:30 ET Bulls (+) over Celtics- Boston has won a season high six straight games and host the Bulls who just ended a five-game losing streak with a win over Cleveland but has still lost 11 of their last 15 games overall. Chicago enters this fray in the 10th spot for the expended NBA playoffs tied with Toronto and they are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 road games including 14-6 ATS as road dogs although they are 0-5 ATS in their last five trips to Bean-town. Still, it is CHICAGO! |

04-19-21 | Cavs -3.5 v. Pistons | 105-109 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Detroit 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Pistons- Now, this one 'gets' me...the Cavaliers favored on the road has to raise an eyebrow now matter who they are playing. Both clubs have lost 4-of-5 but Cleveland is 5-0 ATS in their last five meetings and is 4-1 ATS in their last five games in Detroit. Although at home the Pistons are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eighth games as underdogs. The Cavs are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against teams with losing records. Kevin Love has returned to action for Cleveland and can be the difference here. Take CAVALIERS! |

04-18-21 | Blazers v. Hornets +4.5 | 101-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Portland at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Trailblazers- I have to admit that I enjoy and feel more confident when I am playing 'against' the Trailblazers! Although they are 9-games over .500 they are 27-28 ATS so that makes 'us' a plus 10 playing against them. Charlotte has dropped four straight for the second team this season and they have a tough task in front of them as they are 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings against the Blazers. But, inconsistent Portland is 1-5 ATS after a win and the Hornets are 11-3 ATS after a loss by 10 or more points and they are 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 as home underdogs. Take CHARLOTTE! |

04-18-21 | Nets v. Heat +4 | Top | 107-109 | Win | 100 | 5 h 11 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Miami 3:30 ET Heat (+) over Nets- Jimmy Butler is pissed! Miami dropped their third straight game Friday night to lowly Minnesota and he says that his teammates 'take too much for granted.' Well, they would be able to take anything for granted today as the Nets come to South Beach. The Heat after winning the East last season find themselves currently a seventh seed as injuries and virus protocols have hindered their season. Brooklyn must be a Saturday night 'party' team as thy are 1-7 ATS on Sunday's and 4-10 in their last 14 games as favorites. Take MIAMI! |

04-18-21 | Pelicans +1 v. Knicks | 112-122 | Loss | -103 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
New Orleans at New York 1:10 ET Pelicans over Knicks- Does this look right to you...it doesn't look right to me. New York is playing well and is 17-10 SU at home and the lines-maker has opened the Pelicans a small favorite despite being six-games under. 500 and just 9-17 SU on the road. This gets even more confusing when we realize the Knicks have won five straight and are 23=8 ATS in their last 30 games overall. Something smells here. I'm taking NEW ORLEANS! |

04-17-21 | Cavs +2 v. Bulls | Top | 96-106 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
Cleveland at Chicago 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Bulls- Chicago is reeling having lost five straight and 11 of 14 and will be without Zach LaVine who is in the NBA health and safety protocol. Cleveland as expected hasn't seem much better losing 3-of-4 and eight of 11 and will be missing two back court players as well. Good news (maybe) for Cleveland is that Kevin Love has returned to action and should help (?). Although the Cavs are just 6-14 ATS in the last 20 meetings they are 4-1 ATS in Chicago. Take CLEVELAND! |

Portland at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Trailblazers- Portland who was playing well when CJ McCollum returned to action are struggling now and have lost four of five and are 2-8 SU since the ALL-Star break. The Spurs are off a loss at Toronto where the short-handed Raptors had four players missing due to injuries. Despite going 1-4 ATS in their last five home games the Spurs coach Gregg Popovich insists that they will rebound better after getting killed on the board by Toronto. If 'Pop' sez it it must be true. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

04-16-21 | Magic +2.5 v. Raptors | 102-113 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
Orlando at Toronto 7:30 ET Magic (+) over Raptors- Toronto who is off a win over San Antonio while have four key players sidelined will face a squad that they defeated Orlando 123-108 with Fred VanVleet setting a franchise recording 54 points. VanVleet has been out since April 5th and tonight the Magic will perform their tricks as they have had four personnel changes since the trade deadline. Orlando is 5-1 ATS as road underdogs and 19-7 ATS on the road against teams with losing home records. Toronto is 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games a home favorites and 1-8 ATS in their last nine games as favorites. Take ORLANDO! |

04-16-21 | Pelicans -2 v. Wizards | 115-117 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Washington 7:00 ET Pelicans over Wizards- Washington believes that they have finally developed some chemistry between Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal and have won four-of five and are 5-1 ATS in their last six games. So, why I ask are they underdogs at home to the Pelicans who are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games. Maybe it's because the Wizards are just 2-6 ATS in their first game at home after a 7-day road trip. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

04-14-21 | Mavs v. Grizzlies +2 | Top | 114-113 | Win | 100 | 13 h 60 m | Show |
Dallas at Memphis 9:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Mavericks- The Mavericks players are so concerned with the playoff format so much that they would rather bitch and complain then actually play basketball. So, it looks like Dallas has a mind set that they will finish 7, 8, 9 or 10th will have to deal with the silly playoff scheduling. Memphis has struggled against Dallas at home as they are just 1-5 ATS hosting the Mavs but are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs. Take MEMPHIS! |

Brooklyn at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (-) over Nets- This game of for the top spot in the East as both the Nets and 76ers stand at 37-17 on the season. Normally when we see a game between equal opponents the 'line' will reflect the 'home court' advantage. Now, there is one thing I know and that is in the NBA there is no 7-point home court advantage. Brooklyn had their cancelled game rescheduled for Tuesday afternoon in Minnesota and won by 30 points and now find themselves huge underdogs. I have to suspect that the Nets will be short-handed against as players on that team slack off whenever they get 'soreness.' Take PHILADELPHIA! |

04-13-21 | Heat +3.5 v. Suns | 86-106 | Loss | -101 | 14 h 29 m | Show | |
Miami at Phoenix 10:00 ET Heat (+) over Suns- This line can't be justified in my mind the way these two teams have played this season. At best I can say Miami has been in consistent having battled a number of issues while Phoenix is the comeback (Knicks as well) team of the year and are an amazing 37-15 including 20-8 at home. Both these teams play great defense but the Heat play it a little bit better and with a win at Portland and six of their last seven, I'll stay with the hot club. Get this Miami is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 meetings in Phoenix. Take MIAMI! |

Boston at Portland 10:00 ET Celtics (+) over Trailblazers- I don't know what it is with the Trailblazers but they opening a dog at home against Miami and were never in it as the Heat led from start to finish. Now, Portland comes up a virtual pick'em against a Boston team that is 11-6 on the road while the 31-22 Blazers are 16-11 at home. What makes this even more intriguing is that Portland is 11-4 ATS at home against teams with losing road records. One thing though, the Celtics are 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetIngs. Take BOSTON! |

L.A. Clippers at Indiana 7:30 ET Pacers (+) over Clippers- A pair of winning streaks clash in Indiana where the Pacers winning of three straight host the LA Clippers who have won five straight. The Clippers are starting to put things together and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall while the Pacers are just 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games at home. This time they turn it around.

Denver at Golden State 10:00 ET Warriors (+) over Nuggets- More bad news for the Warriors as No. 1 draft pick James Wiseman is out for the year as beleaguered Golden State plays out their final 19 games. After losing 7-of-9 they managed a win over Houston last time out while Denver just had their 8-game win streak halted by Boston 105-87 last night. Most of the trends favor the Nuggets except they are just 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

04-12-21 | Bulls +2.5 v. Grizzlies | 90-101 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Chicago at Memphis 9:00 ET Bulls (+) over Grizzlies- It's difficult for me to believe that the Bulls are 29-23 ATS on the season including 18-8 ATS on the road because it seems when I have them they fall apart like their last time out at Atlanta. Both of these clubs have lost their last two games and the Grizzlies may have an excuse as Justin Winslow, Jontay Porter and De'Anthony Melton will be sidelined while the Bulls will be at full strength. Like I said Chicago is 14-5 ATS in their last 19 road games and 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Take CHICAGO! |

Sacramento at New Orleans 9:00 ET Kings (+) over Pelicans- This looks like a very short line to me as New Orleans who has a 2-game lead over the Kings for the final playoff spot and have won their last two are less than a long shot favorite. Sacramento has dropped six straight and are 8-21 ATS after a SU loss and yet this price is so low. But, the Pelicans are 5-12 ATS as home favorites and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Miami at Portland 10:00 ET Heat over Trailblazers- Oh how the NBA line-makers taught and tease us. Here is Portland 10-games over .500 and off a 118-103 win over the Pistons and they open a dog at home against Miami who is barely over .500 and will be without guard Victor Oladipo. The Trailblazers on the other hand now with the return of CJ McCollum have one of the best guard tandems in the NBA. Miami who is off a narrow win over the Lakers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and the Blazers are 0-5 ATS in their last five against teams with winning records. Take MIAMI! |

San Antonio at Dallas 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Mavericks- This is the third meeting of the season and Dallas has taken the first two by five and 11 points as they are looking to sweep the season series from San Antonio for the first time is the 41 years they have been playing. The Mavericks have won six of their last seven games overall as the Spurs have dropped 10 of their last 12 but are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 12-4 ATS in their last 16 as rod underdogs.

New Orleans at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Pelicans- As Zion Williamson matures the Pelicans show improvement day by day. Last time out New Orleans used Williamson to bring the ball up the court and the result was a career high eight assists and 15 rebounds while scoring 37 points in their 101-94 win over the Sixers. The Pelicans are 4-9 ATS after a SU win and are 2-5 ATS on the road against teams with losing records. Cleveland was embarrassed last time out after a pair of road wins they returned home and gave up 87 first-half points to Toronto (Megabucks winner) and were smashed 135-115. They rebound here. Take CLEVELAND! |

Toronto at Cleveland 7:30 ET Raptors (-) over Cavaliers- These two are practically mirror images of each other although it may not seem that way. Toronto is 20-32 SU and 21-31 ATS on the season and the Cavaliers are 19-32 SU and 21-30 ATS. Cleveland returns home after winning their last two on the road by 24 and 27 points and they are an underdog to the reeling Raptors who have lost their last two and 6-of-8. What makes this 'line' even more questionable is that Toronto is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 meetings in Cleveland. This one stinks...take the RAPTORS! |

Denver has won seven straight and 12 of 15 including 6-0 since acquiring Aaron Gordon and JaVale McGee while the Spurs have lost four straight and 8-of-10. As bad as San Antonio is going they are still 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as road underdogs but just 1-4 ATS in their last five games at Denver. But tonight...take SAN ANTONIO! |

Injuries to Domantas Sabonis, Malcolm Brogdon and Myler turner has added to Indiana's woes while Cole Anthony and Michael Carter-Williams have returned to action for Orlando. The Pacers are just 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games overall and just 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings.

Milwaukee had won three straight entering that fray and the Mavericks had won and 'covered' five in-a-row. Bucks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games and 2-7 ATS after a SU loss while the Mavs are 6-1 ATS after a SU and 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings in Dallas and 12-2-2 ATS in the last 16 meetings overall.

Los Angeles is 4-6 without and 15-13 without Davis and are off a road win versus Toronto. Miami who defeated LA 96-94 in February when the Heat were without Goran Dragic and Tyler Herro.

Atlanta has won 13 of their last 17 and are coming off a record setting performance against New Orleans where they made 11 straight 3-point shots. Memphis has won their last three and are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games overall.

New York at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (-) over Knicks- Hard to believe that the Knicks and Celtics have the same record at this point of the season they are tied for the seventh seed in the East and both teams are off losses. New York blew a 14-point 4th quarter lead to the nets last time out while Boston was humbled by Philadelphia ta home last night. New York has been great against the 'number' and they are 6-1 ATS in their last six road games while Boston is 1-6 ATS in their second of back-to back games but are 4-1 ATS after a SU loss.

New Orleans at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (-) over Pelicans- This seems like an exceptionally high price to lay as the Nets have had a makeshift line-up for all but seven games this season. New Orleans has injury troubles as well as Zion Williamson returned last game after missing three games and Lonzo Ball is back after a 7-game absence along with Steve Adams but, Brandon Ingram is out on the sideline with Kira lewis and Josh Hart. The trends are all one way as the Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and the Nets are 1-6 ATS in the last seven home games and there are many others that support New Orleans action. But, there is one key trends that doesn't and it is Brooklyn isn 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take BROOKLYN! |

Toronto who has won their last two game haven't won three straight since mid-February and will also be without a pair of key players in Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet.

Detroit at Oklahoma City 7:00 ET Pistons (-) over Thunder- This 'line' just tells us how bad OKC actually is, as they are home underdogs to the Pistons. Detroit is 5-20 SU on the road while the Thunder have a better home record at 9-15. Both of these dregs are coming off embarrassing losses as Oklahoma City was pasted by Portland 133-85 (worst loss in OKC history) while Detroit lost by 44 points to the NY Knicks which was their worst loss in 27 years. Now, the Pistons come up the favorite on the road against a team that they have lost five straight games to as they haven't beaten the Thunder in OKC since November 2017. Detroit is 21-7 ATS after an ATS loss and are 15-7 ATS as road favorites. Take DETROIT! |

Memphis at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over 76ers- The Sixers are tied with Brooklyn for the top spot in the East and after a10-game absence Joel Embiid returned to the line-up to dominate the Timberwolves. Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers has indicated that Embiid may not see the floor against the Grizzlies who are off a great 3-point shooting night and they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs while the 76ers are just 2-5-1 ATS in the second of back-to-back games and it is most likely Embiid will not see action. Take MEMPHIS! |

Brooklyn at Chicago 2:10 ET Bulls (+) over Nets- It may have taken a bit of time but the Nets are finally atop the Eastern Conference tied with the 76ers after winning their fourth straight and 12th in their last 14 outings. Chicago meanwhile is in a free fall as they have lost their last six and their playoff hopes are slim. Brooklyn does win but they are just 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as favorites and are 0-5 ATS in their last five against a team with a losing record. One of the more positive things to say about the Bulls is that they bare 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games played on Sunday. Take CHICAGO! |

Despite leading the league in scoring Milwaukee is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games and they are 2-6 ATS as road favorites. The Kings are much improved and get the money here. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Take note that Atlanta is 5-1 ATS as favorites and are 4-0 ATS in their last four visits to New Orleans although the Pelicans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as home underdogs. But, injuries are nagging them here as Ingram and ball are questionable. Take ATLANTA! |

Charlotte at Indiana 8:00 ET Hornets (+) over Pacers- Last night the Hornets managed to catch Brooklyn without James harden in the lineup but a well balanced Nets offense destroyed Charlotte 111-89 with seven players in double figures. Charlotte has bounced back after bad performances going 8-2 ATS after a straight-up loss and are 9-2 ATS after a loss of 10-points or more. Indiana is struggling and is 3-14 ATS in their last 17 home games and 1-5 ATS as favorites including 0-5 ATS as home favorites. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Golden State at Toronto 7:00 ET Warriors (+) over Raptors- Golden State has lost 5-of-6 but is encouraged with the return of Stephen Curry who shooting and scoring at will. Toronto during March was even worst winning just once in 14 games and are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as favorites. The Warriors who have struggles of their own are just 1-6 ATS as road underdogs and 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games overall. But, with Green healthy and Curry scoring whenever he wants the Warriors are the side. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Golden State at Miami 8:00 ET Warriors (+) over Heat- Both these clubs are flirting around the .500 mark as the Heat have won their last two climbing to the breakeven mark while won for the first time in five games last time out and are one-game under. With Stephen Curry back in the lineup the Warriors are a different club as are the Heat when Jimmy Butler plays and he will play tonight and so will Victor Oladipo who will make his first heat appearance. This line looks very short to me which says Miami will continue to struggle. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Sacramento at San Antonio 8:30 ET Kings (+) over Spurs- Monday night the Kings won their fifth straight against the Spurs 132-115 while San Antonio was now lost 5-of-6. The was a Money Game winner for 'us' as I thought the line was a bit short and now here we go with the same price tonight. I think most people that want to bet this matchup will play on the Spurs in the second of back-to-back games after a loss. But the line is the same and the Spurs are 12-28 ATS as home favorites. Add that the Kings are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and 4-1 ATS in San Antonio. Take SACRAMENTO! |

This is the third of a 5-game road trip for Dallas and they have won 3-of-4 on the road and are off a 127-106 road win over OKC and the Mavs are 2-8 ATS after scoring 125 points or more.

Portland at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Trailblazers- One of the problems with this Blazers team is their incentive to play hard on a consistent basis. In their last outing against Toronto they (Portland) surrendered 74 first-half points and then held the Raptors to 10 third quarter points. See, boys you can do it, if you try, but...they don't always try so much. Portland is 7-15 ATS in their last 22 road games against teams with losing records and are 1-7-1 ATS in the last nine meetings including 0-4 ATS in Detroit. Pistons playing better of late going 5-2 ATS and 5-2 ATS as underdogs. Take DETROIT! |

Philadelphia is 13-10 SU aways from 'Liberty City' and is 3-1 on their current trip with the loss coming at the Clippers Saturday night' and are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Denver is just 6-15-1 ATS following a win of 10-points or more but the kicker is that the Sixers are 15-4-2 ATS in the last 21 meetings and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Denver.

Sacramento at San Antonio 8:30 ET Kings (+) over Spurs- After blowing a huge second-half lead to the Clippers the Spurs rebounded with their best game of the season against the Bulls shooting over 65% deep into the third quarter while building a 36-point lead. Don't expect anything close to that tonight as the Kings enter San Antonio on a 4-game win streak. Sacramento has played surprisingly well and have 5-2 in their last seven games overall while the Spurs are 12-27 ATS in their last 39 games as home favorites. Add that the Kings are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 meetings in San Antonio and 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings as well. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Atlanta at Denver 9:00 ET Hawks (+) over Nuggets- Denver is one of the teams that was very active before the trade deadline and has a slew of players that are gone and three new ones to take their place. Gone are a pair of guards and a center and the additions are Aaron Gordon, Gary Clark from Orlando and center JaVale McGee from Cleveland. They may have gain something on the talent level but I don't see how they would all be able to mess together their first game out. Atlanta is 4-1 ATS their last five trios to Denver and are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Hawks soar in 'Mile High City'...taker ATLANTA |

Philadelphia is the hot club with or without Joel Embiid having won their last four and 10 of their last 11 overall. Doc Rivers has this club playing well on the road compared to past seasons when they were under 30% Sixers are 12-3-1 ATS last-16 games overall.

Chicago meanwhile had second half woes of their own as the fell to lowly Cleveland 103-94 at home on Wednesday. The Bulls were active before the trade deadline acquiring All-star center Nikola Vucevic and forward Farouq Aminu.

Indiana who has one of the worst ATS records in the NBA at 17-26 is off a win over Detroit with Caris LeVert leading the way with 28 points. LeVert's return to action is a huge boost for Indiana that has been playing a man short all season. Dallas is just 3-8 ATS after a SU win and should come back here. Take INDIANA! |

Despite that loss Washington has some solid numbers when facing their division rival as they are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 visits to MSG and they are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine on the road. The Knicks are a different team than we have seen the past two decades and are 7-1 ATS as home favorites and have a pair of 18-point wins over Washington this season, but the Wiz will wave their wands and get the money here.

Brooklyn at Utah 8:30 ET Jazz (-) over Nets- Now, this is the most ridiculous line I have seen this season! Let me check the 'number' surrounding this one. Brooklyn last I checked is one of the 'hottest' teams in the NBA winning 8-of-9 and is off another short-handed (Irving only plays after a winning day at the track...he's been a no-show of late) win last night at Portland and trail only Philadelphia by 1-game in the East. Utah who had the most incredible run going 21-2 ATS have come back to the pack so to speak. With the streak over the Jazz were 1-6 ATS before a 120-95 win over Chicago on Monday. Add that the Nets are 9-1 ATS Last-10 on the road and 6-1 ATS as underdogs makes this line even more absurd. But the Jazz are 13-3 ATS as home favorites last 16 and are 8-3 ATS hosting Brooklyn. Take UTAH! |

To start with Toronto has lost nine straight games while the Nuggets have won nine of their last 11 including a 110-99 win at Orlando last night. The Raptors lost to Houston on Monday who had lost 20 straight games and now they have the NBA's longest losing streak. The Nuggets who are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games are just 6-`14-1 in their last 21 games after a win of 10-points or more. Although they have lost nine straight the Raptors are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games with one day's rest and after their humiliating loss to the Rockets they rebound here. Take TORONTO! |

Brooklyn at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (-) over Nets- Oh...Okay, this week “He” has to 'tend to a family matter' so Kyrie Irving will not be making this trip west with the rest of the Nets. I'm being to wonder if the Brooklyn team members are beginning to to moan about “His” work ethic which really doesn't exist. James Harden is the only one of the 'Big Three' that comes to play every night as Durant and Irving find other thing to occupy their time. Portland should be ready to play after getting trounced 132-92 by the Mavericks (Power Play winner) Sunday night and are 4-1 ATS after SU loss of 10-points or more. Take PORTLAND! |

Miami's biggest problem is their lack of 3-point shooting which is the best asset for Phoenix and both play tough defense. Miami is a team of character and after three straight losses will rally against a team they have dominated through the years. The Heat are 6-2 ATS in the last eight games versus the Suns as hosts and 21-7 ATS in the last 28 meetings overall. Take MIAMI! |

Washington at New York 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Knicks- I think that it is time for the oddsmakers to catch up to the Knicks and their improvement this season. But, after winning 8-of-11 the Knicks have fallen in 3-of-4 all to top NBA teams and have fallen under the break even mark once again. Washington has dropped 6-of-7 since a 2-point win over the Clippers has the high scoring guard duo in Westbrook and Beal are up against the league top scoring defense allowing just 104.7 PPG. The Knicks won the first meeting 109-91 in Washington as Beal was still absent. This time the Wizards perform magic. Take WASHINGTON! |

Nate McMillan is now 8-0 since taking over the coaching and started stressing defense. Atlanta is 5-2 ATS their last seven trips against the Clippers who are 0-6 ATS after a SU win.Los Angeles likely will be playing without starters Patrick Beverley and Serge Ibaka.

Los Angeles is of course doing it without Anthony Davis who has missed the last 13 games and the Lakers are 11-7 SU overall in his absence.

DaIlas managed to get to the free throw line for just five foul shots on Monday and coach Rick Carlisle has pointed out that they will have to be more aggressive and go to the hoop to be successful. Inconsistent LA is 0-5 after a SU win and 1-4 ATS in their last five road games with their lone 'cover' coming in the first meeting two days ago.

Sure, the Raptors look to even the score against lowly Detroit but have three players sidelined because of the league protocol restrictions and their reserves haven't been able to pick up the slack.

Indiana on the other hand has gone 2-7 SU in their last seven games after reaching the .500 mark. To obtain James Harden the Nets had to give up some young talent and one of the key players to go to Indiana is Caris LeVert who has back in action after a major health scare.

Portland who has been inconsistent of late losing 6-of-10 welcomes the return of CJ McCollum out for two months with a broken foot who was averaging 26.7 points before his injury. But, sometimes less is more as CJ joins the flow the Trailblazers might have trouble taking the ball out of Damian Lillard hands. NO is 4-1 ATS in their last five as underdogs and 5-2 ATS at Portland while the Blazers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as home favorites. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

L.A. Lakers at Golden State 10:30 ET Warriors (+) over Lakers- Los Angeles opened the second half of their season with a win over Indiana 105-101 only their fourth win in 10 games without Anthony Davis in the lineup. LeBron James had 18 points and 10 assists and it obvious that he can't do it alone and with Marc Gasol out because COVID reasons and Alex Caruso out with a concussion the Lakers remain short-handed and lack to firepower needed to stay with Stephen Curry. LA is 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as road favorites and the Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

NBA Power Play Winner Indiana at Denver 9:00 ET Pacers (+) over Nuggets- Indiana ended a 7-games ATS losing streak with a 122-111 win at Phoenix Saturday night as they were aided with the Pacers debut of Caris LeVert who contributed 13 points and added a spark and depth to a clubs that has been short handed all season. Now, it is the Nuggets that are short-handed as Monte Morris is sidelined and Jamal Murray has been slumping. Without LeVert the Pacers were 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games but have added confidence with his return to action. Denver is 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and the Pacers are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take INDIANA! |

NBA Money Game Winner Sacramento at Charlotte 7:00 ET Kings (+) over Hornets- It has been a long hard road for the Hornets but they have finally moved over the .500 mark and at 19-18 they believe that best basketball is in front of them. For Sacramento their best basketball can only be in front of them as they continue to struggle on defense ranked 30th allowing 120 points per game. This 'line' seems awful short to me as the Kings are just 3-13 ATS in their last 15 games overall and 1-7 as underdogs. Charlotte is 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games but just 1-6 ATS after a SU win. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Indiana at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Pacers (+) over Lakers- This is a rarity in today's NBA a sub-500 team Indiana (16-19) has a winning road record (9-8) and get to start to second half by play six of seven away from home. The better news (Ha) is that they are up against the Lakers who are a free fall going 3-7 SU in their last 10 games overall. Los Angeles lost Anthony Davis three weeks ago and won their first four without him but have leveled off at 7-7 but injuries and time are taking their toll on James and the Lakers. The Pacers are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take INDIANA! |

Jimmy Butler will be in the Windy City for the Heat and they have defeated the Bulls three straight times in Chicago. The Bulls were just pushed around by Philadelphia who were without both Embiid and Simmons last night as they started a 5-game home stand with a dud. Tonight they rebound. Take CHICAGO! |

Denver at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Nuggets- If there was any team that didn't want to see the All-Star break coming of was the Nuggets who were on a 4-game road winning streak when play stopped and they continue with their fifth straight road game and first in eight days. Ja Morant last year's Rookie of the Year has yet to be named an All-Star but the Memphis guard plays like one and has moved the Grizzlies over .500 with his return. The Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings as hosts in this series. Take MEMPHIS! |

Philadelphia at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls over 76ers- Who needs a haircut...the 76ers already got their's and with COVID contact tracing protocol having tracked Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons' barber they will look clean and sharp but both be missing from the lineup. Philadelphia is 1-5 without Embiid and 2-3 without Simmons. Chicago has won six of their last nine entering the All-star break and are 6-2 ATS over the Sixers in the last eight meetings at home. Philadelphia is just 13-36-1 ATS in their last 52 road games overall and just 7-18-1 ATS as road underdogs! Take CHICAGO! |

Boston at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Nets- So Blake Griffin has joined the already talent loaded Brooklyn Nets and with the likes of Durant, Irving and Harden learning to mesh together Griffin shouldn't have any problem fitting into to flow. Brooklyn is 10-1 in their last 11 games and ironically their lone loss came against the Pistons the clubs that just waived Griffin. Boston has come out of their funk winning just seven of 21 games but have responded with four straight wins and will play tough here. Take the CELTICS! |

The Mavericks were are running wild before the break winning three straight and 10 of 13 but now have been sitting around for eight days letting their 'mojo' slip away. San Antonio has had plenty of virus and injury issues and used the break to mend a bit. Take the SPURS to spike the Mavericks. |

Sacramento at Portland 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Trailblazers- In the 'How bout dat' department the Kings defeated the Lakers last night be it Los Angeles was playing without LeBron James and went off the favorite in their 123-120 victory. Sacramento who posted just their second win in their last 12 games didn't 'cover' as they went off a 4.5-point favorite (a bit of an overreaction by the oddsmakers). Portland meanwhile won their second straight taking down the Warriors as a 2-point underdog (go figure that as well) and are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. But, the Kings are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games overall as road underdogs and will get the money here. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Golden State at Phoenix 10:00 ET Warriors (+) over Suns- As I look now the biggest surprise in the NBA is not that Utah has the best record but that the Suns have the second best record not only in the Western Conference but in the entire league. Phoenix is also 23-11 ATS on the season 2nd once again only to the Jazz as they are making 83.5% of their free throws and they have done it on defense as well where they rank 3rd allowing 107.4 points per game. They have won 15 of 18 which started with a win over the Warriors on Jan. 28 and now Golden State has gone 6-17-1 ATS in the second of back-to-back hames but are 6-2 ATS in their last eight meetings with the Suns. The trend numbers are glowing on the red-hot Suns but despite it all this is a spot for the Warriors...take GOLDEN STATE! |

But, beware of huge wins as Denver is 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games after a win by 10-points or more. Indiana broke a 4-game losing streak last time out in their 114-111 non-cover victory over the lowly Cavaliers and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall. Although the Pacers are 0-7 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs they are 5-1 ATS against the Nuggets in the last six meetings. Take INDIANA! |

Golden State at Portland 10:00 ET Warriors (+) over Trailblazers- The Warriors are off their worst performance of the season as they were blasted by the Lakers last time out trailing by 20-points after the first quarter and 29-points at the half and Steve Kerr wasn't happy with their effort and Draymond Green bagged out with an ankle sprain early but has had a miracle recovery and will play tonight. Portland will be without two big men as Jusuf Nurkic and Zach Collins are both sidelined and the Trailblazers are 1-4 ATS as home underdogs this season. Golden State is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games when favored and are 6-2 ATS after a loss. Take the WARRIORS! |

Prior to those losses Chicago had won three straight and 5-of-7 but still remain one of the more improved teams (19-14 ATS) along with the Knicks in NBA play this season. Three weeks ago the Bulls ended the Pelicans season high 4-game win streak with a 129-116 win when the set a franchise high 25 3-pointers and they are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 trips to the Crescent City.

Utah at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Jazz- The top seeds in the East and West clash in the city of Brotherly Love but their will be no affection between these two in this meeting the final game for both before the All-star break. It appears that Utah's incredible pace is waning as they have dropped 2-of-3 on this road trip and are now 7-15-2 ATS after a SU loss. The Sixers have been more consistent this season under Doc Rivers leadership and are 35-16 ATS as home underdogs and are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and 7-3 ATS in Philadelphia. Joel Embidd is staking claim to be Defensive Player of the Year but stopping five Jazz shooters that are each making 35% or better from beyond the arc will be a difficult task and the Jazz as a whole are shooting 39.6% from 3-point range. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Atlanta at Miami 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Heat- Well, it now appears that it is the Heat's turn to be the NBA's hot club as they have evened their record at 17-17 having won their last six including a 109-99 win over the Hawks on Sunday. Miami did it without Jimmy Butler and will try and do it again minus their former All-star and are just 4-9 without him including Sunday's win, but will have the return of playoff hero Tyler Herro. Atlanta who are just 4-12 SU in their last 16 games overall and let coach Lloyd Pierce go after Sunday's loss. A different face on the coaches box can't hurt and may give the Hawks a fresh look against a Miami team that is just 3-7-1 ATS as home favorites and 3-11-1 ATS st home against teams with losing road records. Take ATLANTA! |

LA is just 8-7 SU in their last 15 games overall after going 16-5 in their first 21 outings. Boston is 18-5 ATS in their last 23 as home dogs and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games overall.
