05-20-22 | Mavs +6.5 v. Warriors | Top | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 29 m | Show |
MIKE'S NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MAVS/WARRIORS 10* BEST BET The Golden State Warriors put a real beating on the Mavs in the opener of this series. The final score was 112-87 in favor of Golden State and Mavs superstar Luka Doncic was held to 20 points on 6-of-18 shooting from the field. It seemed like every Maverick was misfiring while the Warriors couldn't miss, but think this will be a much closer game. The Mavs are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games following an ATS loss, the Warriors are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. 10* PLAY ON DALLAS MAVERICKS. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MAVS/WARRIORS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a seven-game series against Phoenix. While the deciding Game 7 on Sunday ended in a route, they're still at a rest disadvantage compared to the Warriors who finished off the Grizzlies in six games. The Warriors are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 3 or more days rest and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |
|||||||
05-15-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -5 | Top | 81-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 26 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* SIDE The two teams have traded wins and losses throughout this series, with each team winning two games on the road and one at home. The Celtics won 108-95 at Milwaukee on Friday, and I think the alternating of wins and losses stop today. The homecourt advantage should really come in effect here for Game 7, and the Celtics have been the better team in this series IMO. Their role players have mostly been solid while the Bucks' have struggled to contribute much. Celtics are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Bucks are 11-23 ATS in their last 34 games as an underdog. Bucks are 3-12-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |
|||||||
05-13-22 | Grizzlies v. Warriors -8 | Top | 96-110 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* GRIZZLIES/WARRIORS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Golden State Warriors had the opportunity to close out this series in Memphis a couple of days ago, but instead, they came out sleepwalking and lost by just under 40 points. I expect the Warriors to bounce back in a big way and finish off the Grizzlies here on the second try. The Grizzlies will once again be without leading scorer Ja Morant, and while they made it work in the last game, one must wonder how much gas is left in the tank after the 134-95 rout. The Warriors will no doubt be motivated, as they look to repay the humiliation. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |
|||||||
05-12-22 | Heat v. 76ers -2 | Top | 99-90 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 59 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* HEAT/SIXERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY I think the Sixers will go off tonight, facing elimination after getting humiliated in a 120-85 loss in Miami on Tuesday. Both teams have defended their homecourt through the first five games of the series, and the 76ers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite as well as 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The Heat are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Philadelphia. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. |
|||||||
05-11-22 | Warriors -3.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 95-134 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 59 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* WARRIORS/GRIZZLIES TOP PLAY Memphis' star point guard Ja Morant missed Monday's Game 4 loss to the Warriors, and he is doubtful to return at all this postseason. The Grizzlies played surprisingly well without him when Morant missed a part of the regular season, but this is the playoffs and the Warriors will be looking to close this one out tonight and avoid a Game 7. I don't see how the Grizzlies will be able to put up enough points without Morant to keep this close. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |
|||||||
05-06-22 | Suns v. Mavs | Top | 94-103 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 36 m | Show |
MIKE'S SUNS/MAVS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns are traveling to Dallas with a 2-0 lead in the series, and a win here would put them in a great position. They won the last game by 20 points and I think that was it for the Mavs. Luka Doncic has averaged 40 points through the first two games of the series, but he's not getting much help. The Suns are 14-3 SU and ATS as favorites of -0.5 to -4 points this season. The Suns are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Dallas. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
|||||||
05-03-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 86-109 | Win | 100 | 13 h 27 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S BUCKS/CELTICS 10* MAJOR WAGER The Milwaukee Bucks won the opener of this Eastern Conference semi-finals series, which puts Boston in a precarious spot here for Game 2. A loss here would put them in an incredbly tough situation, and I expect to see a hyper-motivated Celtics team after coming out flat as a pancake in Game 1. Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss, 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss, and 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings with Milwaukee. 10* play on Boston Celtics. |
|||||||
04-28-22 | Mavs +1 v. Jazz | Top | 98-96 | Win | 100 | 21 h 42 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MAVS/JAZZ BIG BET ALERT The Dallas Mavericks have looked deadly since getting their star player Luka Doncic back in the lineup, and they absolutely wrecked Utah in a 102-77 Game 5 win. The Mavericks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win, 41-16-1 ATS in their last 58 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, and they have covered the spread in the last four games of this series. Can the Jazz bounce back? I don't think so. The Jazz are 5-15-2 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 15-34-3 ATS in their last 52 games following an ATS loss. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |

04-26-22 | Pelicans v. Suns -6 | Top | 97-112 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S PELS/SUNS MAJOR WAGER I fully expect the Phoenix Suns to bounce back with a big win here after getting outplayed and outworked in a 118-103 loss in New Orleans on Sunday. The Suns are 16-2 SU and 14-4 ATS when revenging a loss this season and the Pelicans are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. Additionally, Phoenix is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
|||||||
04-25-22 | Jazz v. Mavs -2.5 | Top | 77-102 | Win | 100 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
MIKE'S JAZZ/MAVS 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Dallas Mavericks lost Game 4 in Utah 100-99 as a 6-point underdog, but the good news is that Luka Doncic was back in the lineup. Doncic was the team's best player as per usual with 30 points and 10 boards, and having him back is massive for the Mavs. They return home for Game 5, and I don't see Dallas losing this one on homecourt and with their star player back. The Mavs have covered the spread in each of the last three games in this playoff series and they are 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings with the Jazz. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |
|||||||
04-24-22 | Suns -2.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 103-118 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 58 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* SUNS/PELS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns defeated the Pels 114-111 in an intense back-and-forth Friday night. The Suns now hold a 2-1 lead in the series and a win here would set them up to close it out at home in a couple of days. The Suns are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 playoff games as a favorite, the Pelicans are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog. Suns' leading scorer Devin Booker is expected to miss the game because of a hamstring injury, but the Suns won Game 3 without him. I expect a comfortable win for the Suns. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |

04-23-22 | 76ers -3 v. Raptors | Top | 102-110 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
MIKE'S SIXERS/RAPTORS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Philadelphia 76ers hold a 3-0 lead of this Eastern Conference first-round playoff series and would close it out with a win today. The Raptors must be devasted after losing Game 3 in overtime after leading with as much as 17 points in the second quarter. The Sixers will be motivated to get this done ASAP in order to maximize its rest ahead of the next round. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |
|||||||
04-17-22 | Pelicans v. Suns -10 | Top | 99-110 | Win | 100 | 13 h 52 m | Show |
MIKE'S PELS/SUNS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns covered the spread in only two of their last seven games, but they had already locked up the No. 1 seed for quite some time by then. They've had a week off to rest and prepare while the Pels have had to battle San Antonio and the Clippers in the play-in tournament. Suns are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Suns are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 playoff games as a favorite. Suns went 3-1 ATS in the four regular season meetings. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
|||||||
04-15-22 | Pelicans v. Clippers -3.5 | Top | 105-101 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 12 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* PELS/CLIPPERS NBA BOOKE BREAKER The Los Angeles Clippers lost at Minnesota in their first play-in game, but they get another shot at making the playoffs here against a New Orleans team that defeated the Spurs 113-103 in their Wednesday play-in game. The Clippers have looked great since getting Paul George back in the lineup, and they are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
04-12-22 | Clippers v. Wolves -2.5 | Top | 104-109 | Win | 100 | 40 h 23 m | Show |
CLIPPERS/WOLVES NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Clippers won three of four regular season meetings, but Minnesota won the last one. I think Minnesota is the better side, and don't underestimate the homecourt advantage. Clippers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Timberwolves are 9-2 SU and 8-3 ATS as home favorites of fewer than five points this season. 10* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. |

04-05-22 | 76ers -11.5 v. Pacers | Top | 131-122 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to back the Philadelphia 76ers, who while they won their last game, failed to cover the spread. The 76ers are 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 games following an ATS loss, and this should be a smooth ride against a tanking Indiana team that is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games overall and 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games as a home underdog. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |
|||||||
04-03-22 | Nuggets -3.5 v. Lakers | Top | 129-118 | Win | 100 | 14 h 33 m | Show |
NUGGETS/LAKERS 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Denver Nuggets knocked the socks off the Lakers with a 133-96 win back in January. The Lakers are coming into this game on a five-game losing streak while Denver had won three in a row before losing to Minnesota in its last game. Sure, the Lakers are the more desperate of the two sides currently on the outside looking on the play-in tournament bracket, but I highly doubt the Nuggets will give them a free pass, especially coming off a loss themselves. Also, the Nuggets need to make sure they don't fall into the play-in tournament. Nuggets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Lakers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. Lakers are 5-17 ATS in their last 22 Sunday games. 10* play on Denver Nuggets. |

03-30-22 | Grizzlies -6 v. Spurs | Top | 112-111 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 16 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S WESTERN CONF BEST SIDE The Memphis Grizzlies are arguably the hottest team in the league and they can clinch the No. 2 seed in the West with a win here against San Antonio Wednesday night. The Grizzlies are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games as a road favorite. The Spurs are coming into this game riding a four-game winning streak, but they are an ice cold 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a home underdog. Grizzlies own Spurs. They are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in San Antonio. 10* play on Memphis Grizzlies. |

03-29-22 | Bulls -3.5 v. Wizards | Top | 107-94 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BULLS/WIZARDS SIDE BOOKIE BREAKER This looks like a good spot to back the Chicago Bulls off a disappointing loss at New York on Monday. Bulls are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Washington, and they'll face a Wizards team in a potential flat spot coming off back-to-back wins as underdogs, first against Detroit and most recently Golden State. Wizards are 5-17 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win. 10* play on Chicago Bulls. |

03-26-22 | Spurs v. Pelicans -5 | Top | 107-103 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 6 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S WESTERN CONF SIDE BEST BET This looks like a fantastic spot to fade the San Antonio Spurs coming off a 37-point win as a favorite at Portland. The Spurs are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games following a ATS win and 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games as an underdog. The Pelicans are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. This is a revenge game for the Spurs after taking a 124-91 beating by the Pels at home on March 18, but they're under .500 ATS in revenge spots this season. 10* play on New Orleans Pelicans. |

03-25-22 | Wizards v. Pistons -2.5 | Top | 100-97 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
WIZARDS/PISTONS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Detroit Pistons are coming off yet an upset win against Atlanta and they are 14-2 ATS in their last 16 games overall. While they tend to do better as underdogs and failed to cover in their last game as a favorite, note that the Pistons are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. The Wizards have lost eight of their last 9 games and they are likely to be gassed after taking yet another beating at Milwaukee last night. Wizards are 6-23-1 ATS in their last 30 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* play on Detroit Pistons. |
|||||||
03-23-22 | Warriors v. Heat -6 | Top | 118-104 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 45 m | Show |
WARRIORS/HEAT NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to back the Miami Heat to snap back from a disappointing loss to a Philly team without Embiid and Harden a couple of nights ago. The Warriors are also coming off a bad loss, as a favorite at Orlando last night, but I think they'll struggle to match the Heat's intensity as they'll be playing on no rest. Heat are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss and Warriors are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings. 10* play on Miami Heat. |
|||||||
03-21-22 | Heat v. 76ers | Top | 106-113 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
HEAT/SIXERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to fade the Philadelphia 76ers who will play their third game in four days and on no rest. They came out flat in a 93-88 home loss to Toronto yesterday, and I would not be surprised if they opted to rest several of their starters for this game. Joel Embiid will almost surely sit this one out as his back is acting up and he was a game-time decision for yesterday's game. The Heat are on a roll, and 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 road games, 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings with the Sixers. 10* play on Miami Heat. |

03-18-22 | Mavs +3 v. 76ers | Top | 101-111 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
MAVS/SIXERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Dallas Mavericks have won eight of their last nine games and they are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. They failed to cover the spread when they defeated the Nets with a buzzer beater last time out, but the Mavs are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following a ATS loss. 76ers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite and Mavericks are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Under is 16-5 in 76ers last 21 vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 18-7 in Mavs games against Eastern Conference teams this season. Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |

TOP-RATED 10* HORNETS/THUNDER NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a dominant 142-120 win at New Orleans on Friday to improve to 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games as a road favorite. They've had the weekend off and are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 2 days rest. Here they'll face a Thunder team that has the second-worst record in the West and off five straight losses. The Thunder are 2-5-2 ATS in their last 9 home games and the Hornets are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Oklahoma City. 10* play on Charlotte Hornets. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to fade the Magic off back-to-back wins as sizeable underdogs. The Magic are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight-up win and here they'll face a Sixers team in a get right spot after getting humiliated by Brooklyn in its last game. 76ers are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a double-digit loss at home and 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games following an ATS loss. 76ers are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. |

NBA MAJOR WAGER - MIKE'S WARRIORS/NUGGETS GAME OF THE WEEK The Golden State Warriors covered the spread as an 8-point underdog here at Denver on March 7 in a game where they rested their whole regular starting lineup. I expect a much better outing from the Warriors here as a road favorite after losing each of the first three meetings with Denver this season straight up. This time they're catching Denver at a good time, with the Nuggets on no rest following a 106-00 win at Sacramento last night. 10* on Golden State Warriors. |

03-09-22 | Wizards v. Clippers -4.5 | Top | 109-115 | Win | 100 | 16 h 44 m | Show |
WIZARDS/CLIPPERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Clippers will be playing on no rest, but I don't think that will be an issue as they must be looking forward to get back on the court after taking a beating by the Warriors last night. The Clippers have matched up well against Washington in recent seasons, going 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings overall and 5-0 ATS in the last five home at Crypto.com Arena. The Wizards are coming off a 133-123 win against Indiana, but they are only 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns will be looking to snap back from a 132-122 loss at Milwaukee. They are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite. This looks like a solid bounce back spot against a Magic team that is 2-7 ATS in its last 9 games as an underdog and 4-14-1 ATS in their last 19 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY LeBron James put up 56 points when the Los Angeles Lakers recorded a 124-116 upset win against the Warriors on Saturday. I think there's a good chance the Lakers will come out flat tonight as they're 7-19 ATS off a win and 0-4 ATS off a win as an underdog for the season. The Spurs are 9-4 ATS as a home favorite and they're coming into this game looking to end a three-game slide. 10* play on San Antonio Spurs. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The New York Knicks have dropped seven consecutive games straight up and they covered the spread in only one of those losses. They are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog overall. The LA Clippers are riding a five-game winning streak and they have covered the spread in seven of their last eight games. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |

NBA MAJOR WAGER - MIKE'S 10* GAME OF THE WEEK This looks like an extremely tough spot for the Sacramento Kings who will play their fourth straight road game, third game in four nights and on no rest after taking a 125-95 loss at New Orleans last night. The Spurs? They last played on February 28 when they took a 118-105 loss at Memphis. This will be Spurs' first home game since the All-Star break and I expect them to come out swinging. Spurs are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games playing on 2 days rest.

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Miami Heat dominated the Bulls at home in their last game. I like the Heat to stay hot and keep it close here on the road at Milwaukee Wednesday night. The Heat are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six road games, and the Bucks have not been at their very best lately. Sure, the Bucks beat Charlotte 130-106 in their last game, but they had lost four of their last five straight leading up to that game. The Bucks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win. 10* play on Miami Heat. |

TOP-RATED 10* HAWKS/CELTICS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Boston Celtics took a 21-point loss as close to a double-digit favorite at Indiana on Sunday. They are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss, and now they'll host an Atlanta team that is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games as a road underdog and 5-16 ATS in its last 21 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Boston won 105-95 when the Hawks came to town on February 13. I expect them to win and cover in this one as well. 10* play on Boston Celtics. |

TOP-RATED 10* BULLS/HEAT NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Chicago Bulls took a 118-102 loss here at Miami on December 11, but they are still 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Miami. I like them to come through with a much better performance tonight. The Bulls took a 116-110 home loss to Memphis in their last game. They are 16-8 ATS coming off an ATS loss on the season and the Heat are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Chicago Bulls. |

NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S MAVS/WARRIORS BEST BET This looks like a great spot to back the Mavs who most likely have had this game circled since taking a 130-92 loss here at Chase Center on January 25. In their last game, the Mavs lost at Utah. They are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog.

They clearly lost focus after a big run, but I expect them to get off to a fast start following the break. Minnesota lost three of five leading up the break. Grizzlies are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite. Timberwolves are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Grizzlies are 17-5 ATS in the last 22 meetings. Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Minnesota. 10* play on Memphis Grizzlies. |

TOP-RATED 10* GRIZZLIES/PELICANS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to fade the New Orleans Pelicans who will be playing on no rest following a 120-90 upset win against Toronto Monday night. Pelicans are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and still only 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. The Memphis Grizzlies are one of the hottest teams in the league, going 8-1 SU and ATS over their last nine games. 10* play on Memphis Grizzlies. |

Nuggets are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest and 9-19 ATS in their last 28 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Raptors have not only won eight in a row straight up, they've also covered the spread in each of those games. They are 6-2 ATS when facing an opponent that is on the second leg of a back-to-back situation. Raptors are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

They've defeated Portland, Clippers and Lakers convincingly in the previous three, but all as favorites. Bucks are 8-19 ATS in their last 27 games as an underdog and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. The Suns are the hottest (and arguably the best) team in the league.

They're 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss and 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings with the Spurs who are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. San Antonio has had major issues on the defensive end all season and I expect the Heat to run away with this one.

Both teams will be playing on no rest, and I think heavy legs on defense will open up for a high-scoring game. The Heat are 6-2 to the over when playing on 0 days rest this season and over is 20-6 in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. I also think we'll see a reaction from the Miami players after putting up only 92 points in a blowout loss at Boston last night. Over is 7-1 in Raptors last 8 games as a home favorite. |

Heat are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss, 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog and 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Boston. The Celtics just rebounded from a bad loss themselves, by winning 107-97 at New Orleans on Saturday.

The Lakers are coming off a 106-96 win at Brooklyn, but they are still only 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and they're 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings with the Sixers. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |

TOP-RATED 10* HEAT/HAWKS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Atlanta Hawks have answered a 10-game homecourt losing streak with a couple of solid home wins against Milwaukee and Minnesota, but I think they're in for a tough game when hosting Miami Friday night. The Hawks are only 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and they'll face a hot Miami team that has won six of its last seven straight up and has covered the spread in seven of its last eight games.

The Pacers are 22-31 ATS off an ATS win and 4-7 ATS off an upset win on the road, both trends dating back to the start of last season.

The Wizards still failed to cover the spread. They are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite and 1-11-1 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

MIKE'S CAVS/BLAZERS TGIF NBA MONEYMAKER The Portland Trail Blazers have lost five of their last six, and failed to cover the spread in each of the losses. They'll have to do without their starting backcourt in Damian Lillard (abdomen) and CJ McCollum (lung) for the time being, and I think they'll struggle with the Cavs here Friday night. Cleveland has dropped four of its last five games (0-4-1 ATS), but the Cavaliers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games and still a solid 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss. The Trail Blazers are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games. 8* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. |

They covered the spread as a home favorite against Denver in their last game, but the Mavs are only 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win. The Warriors defeated Miami by seven points as a 10-point favorite in their last game. Steph Curry was held to a season-low nine points, but he and the rest of the Warriors should have a big night from behind the arc here with Dallas allowing opponents to shoot 35.3% from three-point land. Warriors are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS loss. Warriors are 17-7-2 ATS in their last 26 games as a favorite. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. |

SUPER EARLY SUNS/CELTICS NEW YEAR'S EVE NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Both teams are decimated due to NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but I think Phoenix has an edge with superstar Devin Booker available. The reeling Celtics have lost three in a row and eight of their last 11 games. They made only 35-of-101 shots (34.7%) from the floor in a 91-82 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. It's not easy to get good looks against Phoenix, and I like the Suns to run away with this game. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |

NBA MAJOR WAGER - MIKE'S GAME OF THE MONTH (SIDE) The Milwaukee Bucks will be playing this game on the second night of a back-to-back, but fatigue should not be an issue after cruising to a win against Houston last night. Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is in the NBA's Covid-19 protocols, but they're fairly healthy otherwise unlike the Mavs who will be missing at least six players due to the health and safety protocols, including Luka Doncic and Tim Hardaway Jr. The Mavs defeated Minnesota on Tuesday, but I don't think they'll have enough talent on the floor in this game to keep up with the Bucks. 10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |

MIKE'S TGIF BUCKS @ PELICANS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Milwaukee Bucks were without two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and six other players when they faced Indiana on Wednesday. They still managed to defeat the Pacers by double-digits, and I think they have enough talent on the floor to take care of business against a Pelicans team that won only one of the last six head-to-head meetings. The Bucks are shooting 36.2% from three-point range (7th), and the Pels are allowing opponents to shoot 36.9% from behind the arc (27th). 10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Philadelphia 76ers will be playing on no rest after taking a loss at Miami Wednesday night, but I think they'll bounce back here against a severely shorthanded Brooklyn team. The Nets had only eight players available against the Raptors on Tuesday, and while they won that game, I think they'll be too gassed to keep up with Philly in this one. In addition to Philadelphia winning and covering the spread, I also like the under as neither team is likely to push the tempo. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The slumping Charlotte Hornets have won only two of their last 10 games. While they've covered the spread in the majority of those games, I don't think that will be the case here against a fairly well-rested Spurs team that has has two days off since a 112-97 win over New Orleans on Sunday. This will be the finale of a five-game homestand for the Spurs, and they need a win here to get out of it with more wins than losses. Spurs are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite. Hornets are 8-19 ATS in their last 27 games as a road underdog. Spurs are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings at AT&T Center. 10* play on San Antonio Spurs. |

They are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400, and they'll face such a team here with the Knicks only 5-9 straight up home at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks are going through a rough patch, having lost six of their last seven straight up and failing to cover the spread in each of the losses. The Knicks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog and the Warriors are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings at the Garden. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. |

Mike's Top-rated 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Houston Rockets opened the season in a disastrous fashion, but they've shown resilience and are now riding a seven-game winning streak. I think that'll come to an end here though, with a blowout loss to reigning NBA champions Milwaukee. The Bucks have split their last four games and they have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five, but I expect a big outing from them here, after taking a 113-104 loss at Miami on Wednesday. 10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |

TOP-RATED 10* NETS @ ROCKETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Brooklyn Nets will be playing on no rest after defeating the Mavs in Dallas last night, I don't think they need fresh legs to take care of business against this Rockets team. Sure, the Rockets are coming into this contest riding a six-game winning streak, but it's somewhat of a fraudulent heater and they have not played a quality team like Brooklyn during that stretch. The Nets have dominated this series in recent years, and they've had plenty of success against the spread in Houston, going 6-1 ATS over the last seven visits. 10* play on Brooklyn Nets. |

All those three wins came at home though, and now the Rockets go on the road where they are 0-11 SU on the season. The Rockets are 0-2 ATS away from home when getting spotted less than double-digits, and the Thunder are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. Note that while the Thunder have dropped six consecutive games and eight of their last nine, they've covered the spread in six of their last seven. OKC won 101-89 when they hosted the Rockets on November 17, and I expect them to avenge the most recent loss with a big outing tonight. 10* play on Oklahoma City Thunder. |

11-29-21 | Blazers v. Jazz -7.5 | Top | 107-129 | Win | 100 | 15 h 57 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY (SIDE) The Portland Trail Blazers have lost nine of 10 road games straight up and they are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog. The Jazz are 5-1 ATS as a favorite of fewer than eight points this season. In their last game, the Jazz put a 127-105 beating on New Orleans, they are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Portland is one of the worst teams in the league on the defensive end, and I don't see them keeping this one close. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |

11-28-21 | Warriors -2 v. Clippers | Top | 105-90 | Win | 100 | 15 h 57 m | Show |
NBA BIG BET ALERT - MIKE'S WESTERN CONF GAME OF THE MONTH (SIDE) The Golden State Warriors are 17-2 SU and 14-4-1 against the spread on the season. They have the best scoring defense in the league with only 100.9 points allowed per game on average, and the Clippers are averaging only 106.0 points per game. The Clippers have lost three of their last five straight up, despite closing as favorites in each game. In their last game, the Clippers defeated Detroit 107-96 but they are only 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. |

11-27-21 | Pelicans v. Jazz -12.5 | Top | 105-127 | Win | 100 | 11 h 51 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* LATE-NIGHT PELICANS @ JAZZ BOOKIE BREAKER The Utah Jazz should be highly motivated after taking a 98-97 home loss to this very same Pelicans team only yesterday. The Pelicans are still only 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog, and they're not nearly as deep as the Jazz who I really expect will dominate this game from start to finish. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |

11-26-21 | Bucks -3.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 120-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
BUCKS @ NUGGETS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Milwaukee Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite and I think they'll be able to take advantage of a shorthanded Denver team. Denver's injury list: Hyland PG Doub Fri - Ankle Jokic C Ques Fri - Wrist Dozier SG out for season - Knee Porter Jr. PF Out indefinitely - Back Cancar SF Out indefinitely - Hip Murray SG Out indefinitely - Knee The Nuggets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. 10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |

11-24-21 | Blazers -2.5 v. Kings | Top | 121-125 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 39 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BLAZERS @ KINGS NBA BAILOUT The Kings are reeling, coming into this game on a four-game losing streak and they have covered the spread in only one of their last nine games. The Blazers on the other hand have heated up lately and they are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. Sure, the Blazers bring a 1-7 away record into this matchup, but note that they are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 head-to-head meetings in Sacramento. 10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Heat -9.5 v. Pistons | Top | 100-92 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 45 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Detroit Pistons have one of the worst records in the league, and they are 3-9 ATS in conference games and 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games as an underdog (dating back to last season). Tonight the Pistons host a Miami team that has been a major positive surprise, and while this is a big number to cover, note that The Heat are 5-1 ATS as favorites of six or more points this season. They've been asked to cover nine or more twice, and covered both times. 10* play on Miami Heat. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Clippers -3.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 81-94 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
CLIPPERS @ PELICANS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY (SIDE) The Los Angeles Clippers will be playing on no rest after taking a 120-108 loss to Memphis Thursday night. They are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest, and I don't think they'll have too much trouble against a New Orleans team that has won only two of 16 games on the season. The Pelicans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Spurs +2.5 v. Wolves | Top | 90-115 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
SPURS @ WOLVES NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY I think we'll ee a reaction from the Spurs after getting beaten quite badly in three straight games. In their last game, the Spurs took a 106-92 loss to the Clippers in LA, but they are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a losing home record, which they are facing here with the Wolves only 3-6 SU at home. Minnesota defeated Sacramento by 10 points in their last game, but they are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. 10* play on San Antonio Spurs. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Magic +10.5 v. Hawks | Top | 111-129 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 55 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MAGIC @ HAWKS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Hawks snapped a six-game losing streak with a dominant 20-point win against the reigning NBA champions Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Massive flat spot warning here as they take on a 3-10 Orlando team that is very easy to look past, especially with a tougher opponent in the NY Knicks on deck. I expect to see the Hawks playing down to the competition in this one and that the Magic will keep this close until the very end. 10* play on Orlando Magic. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Raptors +2 v. 76ers | Top | 115-109 | Win | 100 | 13 h 1 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* RAPTORS @ SIXERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Raptors will play on no rest, but I think they'll snap back with a strong performance after taking a beating at Boston last night. They came into that game on two days rest, so one could argue that the Sixers are in a tougher scheduling spot as they'll be playing their third game in four nights. Additionally, Philly is shorthanded with several players sidelined, and I think the Raptors have a good chance of winning this one outright. 10* play on Toronto Raptors. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Hornets +4.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 118-108 | Win | 100 | 16 h 40 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* HORNETS @ GRIZZLIES NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Charlotte Hornets have dropped five straight games SU and ATS, but I think thye're undervalued here as they wrap up a five-game road trip to the Western Conference. They showed good fight in an OT loss to the Lakers last time out, and the Grizzlies are in a potential flat spot after winning three of their last four SU and ATS. 10* play on Charlotte Hornets. |
|||||||
11-08-21 | Hawks +3.5 v. Warriors | Top | 113-127 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 9 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* HAWKS @ WARRIORS LATE-NIGHT SHOWDOWN The Golden State Warriors are off to a red hot 7-1 straight up and 5-3 against the spread start to the year, and they're coming into this contest riding a three-game winning streak SU and ATS. The Atlanta Hawks meanwhile have won only four of 10 games on the season, and they have dropped each of their last three SU and ATS. This looks like a good spot to back Atlanta to get a W though. The Warriors will be playing on no rest after blowing the doors of the Rockets in a 120-107 triumph Sunday night while Atlanta has had a day off since opening a four-game road trip out west with a loss at Phoenix on Saturday. I think the betting market has overreacted to recent results, the Hawks are not this bad and I think they'll be fired up for this one. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. |

11-05-21 | Nets v. Pistons +10 | Top | 96-90 | Win | 100 | 18 h 46 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NETS @ PISTONS TGIF NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Pistons took a home loss to Philadelphia last night. They failed to cover the spread, which sets up a favorable situation here against Brooklyn Friday night. Home teams that are underdogs of eight points or more and on a three-game losing streak against the spread are 25-15-1 (62.5%) ATS since the start of the 2016 season. Additionally, the Nets tend to play down to lesser competition, going only 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. 10* play on Detroit Pistons. |

11-03-21 | Nuggets +1.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 106-108 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 51 m | Show |
NUGGETS @ GRIZZLIES NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Memphis Grizzlies are 4-3 SU and 5-2 ATS on the season, but I think the betting market got the spread for this game wrong. Sure, the Grizzlies defeated the Nuggets 106-97 here at FedExForum on Monday, but it's hard to beat this Nuggets team two games in a row, and they should be able to adjust and have a better plan for how to stop Ja Morant this time around. 10* play on Denver Nuggets. |

11-02-21 | Kings +9 v. Jazz | Top | 113-119 | Win | 100 | 17 h 8 m | Show |
TOP-RATED KINGS @ JAZZ NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Jazz are 5-1 SU and ATS on the season but I think they are asked to cover too many points in this matchup with the Kings Tuesday night. This is a potential flat spot for Utah who is coming off a 107-95 win at reigning NBA champions Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Sacramento on the other hand will be looking to snap back from a loss at Dallas. The Kings are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. |
|||||||
10-31-21 | Blazers v. Hornets +1.5 | Top | 113-125 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
BLAZERS @ HORNETS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to fade the Blazers who are coming off a massive revenge win over the Clippers after getting humiliated in LA earlier in the week. The Hornets on the other hand should come out with more motivation after taking a 15-point loss at Miami in their last game. Hornets are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. 10* play on Charlotte Hornets. |
|||||||
10-27-21 | Hawks -6 v. Pelicans | Top | 102-99 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 49 m | Show |
HAWKS @ PELICANS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Hawks lost their only road game of the season so far (at Cleveland), but I think they match up well against this Pelicans team. New Orleans has the 26th worst offensive efficiency rating in the league while Atlanta has the fifth-best defensive efficiency score, allowing only 92.8 points per 100 possessions. The Pels are struggling without injured forward Zion Williamson, and without him, they do not have enough star power to compete with Trey Young and the rest of the Hawks. Pelicans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. Pelicans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Hawks are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in New Orleans. Hawks are 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. |

10-23-21 | Mavs -3.5 v. Raptors | Top | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
MAJOR WAGER ALERT - MIKE'S NBA GAME OF THE WEEK (SIDE) Tough spot for Toronto who will be playing on no rest after blowing the doors off the Celtis in Boston last night for their first win of the season. The Mavs are in a bounce-back spot after coming out completely flat in a 113-87 loss to Atlanta in their season opener. Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Raptors are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |

10-22-21 | Jazz -5.5 v. Kings | Top | 110-101 | Win | 100 | 24 h 40 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT JAZZ @ KINGS NBA BASKET BRAWLER *BAILOUT PLAY* Both teams started the season with a win but in very different ways. The Jazz did not disappoint as they defeated Oklahoma City 107-86 as a 14-point favorite while Sacramento managed to win 124-121 as a 6.5-point underdog at Portland. The Jazz can clamp down on the defensive end in a way the Kings simply can not, and they have a much deeper team. The Jazz are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. They won all three of last season's matchups by an average of 29 points. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |

07-17-21 | Bucks v. Suns -3.5 | Top | 123-119 | Loss | -109 | 43 h 25 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA FINALS GAME 5 BOOKIE BREAKER The Bucks have tied the series following two wins home at Milwaukee, but now they're back on the road where the Bucks have been a very different team all year. They did not stand much of a chance in either of the first two games here at Phoenix Suns Arena, and I expect history to repeat itself in Game 5. Bucks are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog. Suns are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |

07-11-21 | Suns v. Bucks -4 | Top | 100-120 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* SUNS @ BUCKS GAME 3 BOOKIE BREAKER The Phoenix Suns have opened the NBA Finals with a couple of double-digit wins, but the oddsmakers are expecting a very different game as the series move to Milwaukee. The Bucks have gone from a 5-point dog on the road to a 4-point home favorite, and I agree as I do exepct to see a big reaction from the team in a 2-0 hole. Giannis Antetokounmpo has also had several days to recover from a hyperextended left knee, and I simply think the desperation from the home team will give them a result. 10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |

07-08-21 | Bucks v. Suns -5 | Top | 108-118 | Win | 100 | 42 h 46 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BUCKS @ SUNS NBA FINALS GAME 2 BOOKIE BREAKER Game 1 of this series told us a lot. I thought the Bucks could hang around with the Suns, but that won't happen unless Giannis is fully healthy. He'll get some more time to rest up his knee for Game 2 of the series, but I think the Bucks will have to focus on defending their home court next up rather than winning this one. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
