11-28-22 | Hawks -115 v. 76ers | Top | 101-104 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 11 m | Show |
HAWKS/SIXERS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to back the Hawks who will be looking to bounce back from a loss while we also get to fade the Sixers off a win. Both teams will be playing on no rest which will hurt the Sixers the most, as they're without Joel Embiid and James Harden while P.J. Tucker is day to day. 10* PLAY ON ATLANTA HAWKS. | |||||||
11-27-22 | Cavs -7 v. Pistons | Top | 102-94 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* EASTERN CONF ATS BEST BET The Cavs had won four on the bounce prior to a loss as an underdog at Milwaukee Friday night. They are 10-3 SU and ATS as favorites on the season and they won 112-88 as a four-point favorite here in Detroit back on November 4. The Pistons are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games but they played without four starters in a close loss at Phoenix on Friday and I don't see their backups coming up with a big game here. 10* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. | |||||||
11-27-22 | Pacers -115 v. Clippers | 100-114 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
Mike Lundin's Pacers vs Clippers NBA Free Pick The Pacers are 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS as favorites. The Pacers are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games overall and the Clippers are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Clippers' seven-time All-Star Paul George has missed the last three games due to a hamstring tendon strain and without George in the Clippers lineup I make the Pacers the better team, even on the road.

11-25-22 | Kings +8 v. Celtics | 104-122 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 42 m | Show | |
KINGS/CELTICS NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER The Celtics are 7-1 SU but "only" 5-3 ATS at home. That ATS number drops to 2-3 when laying seven points or more. The Kings are 10-7 SU on the season after winning seven of their last eight games. They are 4-1 ATS as road underdogs this season and 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. I expect them to put up a good fight. 8* PLAY ON SACRAMENTO KINGS. | |||||||
11-23-22 | Pelicans -7 v. Spurs | Top | 129-110 | Win | 100 | 13 h 17 m | Show |
Pels/Spurs 10* NBA Top Play of the Day The Pels have won four of their last five games and covered the spread in all wins. The Spurs are reeling coming off five straight losses while going 1-4 ATS. The Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. 10* play on New Orleans Pelicans. | |||||||
11-23-22 | Kansas v. NC State +9 | Top | 80-74 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show |
Super Early 10* CBB Game of the Week - Kansas/NC State BEST BET Both teams are coming into this game 4-0. This will be a big step up in competition for the Wolfpack compared to their earlier opponents, but if they're successful at bombing away from three, they should be able to keep this close. 10* play on NC State. | |||||||
11-22-22 | Liberty v. Northwestern UNDER 132.5 | 52-66 | Win | 100 | 14 h 35 m | Show | |
Liberty/Northwestern CBB BOOKIE BOMBER Total Northwestern is 4-0 to the under on the season while Liberty is 3-0 to the under. As the home team, I expect the Wildcats to control the tempo here though and the Flames were held to 59 points in their lone road game (and as an underdog). 8* play on UNDER. | |||||||
11-22-22 | Kings v. Grizzlies | Top | 113-109 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
Kings/Grizzlies 10* NBA Top Play of the Day The Kings are red hot, coming into this game on a six-game winning streak, and the only time they didn't cover the spread was as a double-digit favorite against Detroit in their last game. The Kings are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 road games, and here they'll face a shorthanded Grizzlies team that is without Desmond Bane and Ja Morant just to name a few. I expect the Kings to stay hot as they look to avenge 125-110 home loss to Memphis on October 27. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. | |||||||
11-22-22 | Southern Indiana v. St Bonaventure -7 | 66-80 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
Mike's Tuesday Night CBB BOOKIE BU$TER Southern Indiana is 3-0 ATS in lined games this season, but they were getting double-digits in those games. Here they're getting fewer points against a St. Bonaventure team that is coming off an 81-68 triumph against Bowling Green. The Screaming Eagles have been shooting a red-hot 45.7% from three-point range which of course is not sustainable, and I think we'll see regression here against the more talented Bonnies. 8* play on St. Bonny. | |||||||
11-21-22 | Hawks v. Cavs -2.5 | Top | 102-114 | Win | 100 | 14 h 23 m | Show |
Top-rated 10* Hawks/Cavs NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Hawks have traded wins and losses over their last seven games, and I think they'll take an L here following an OT win against Toronto on Saturday. They'll face Cavs team that is dominant on the glass and shooting 39% (2nd) from three-point range. The Cavs will be playing on no rest after routing Miami last night, but I think they'll have enough gas left in the tank to take this one. Hawks are 8-25 ATS in their last 33 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Cavaliers are 14-3-1 ATS in their last 18 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 10* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. | |||||||
11-19-22 | Jazz v. Blazers -3.5 | Top | 118-113 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 25 m | Show |
Top-Rated 10* Jazz/Blazers NBA Play of the Day This looks like a good spot to fade the Jazz who should be gassed after running and down the court with the Suns in the altitude in Salt Lake City Friday night. The Blazers will be looking to bounce back from a home loss to Brooklyn. 10* play on Portland. | |||||||
11-18-22 | Suns -120 v. Jazz | 133-134 | Loss | -120 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
SUNS/JAZZ NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Jazz opened the season strong, but they are coming into this game off three consecutive losses. The Suns snapped a two-game skid with a 130-119 win against Golden State, and they are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings with Utah. 8* PLAY ON PHOENIX SUNS. | |||||||
11-18-22 | Pacers -5 v. Rockets | Top | 99-91 | Win | 100 | 15 h 16 m | Show |
NBA ATS GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER The Indiana Pacers are red hot, with wins in six of their last eight games while covering the spread in each game. The Rockets are 2-8 in their last 10 (4-6 ATS) and only 3-11 on the season. This will be the first meeting of the season, but Indiana is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 10* PLAY ON INDIANA PACERS. | |||||||
11-17-22 | Nets v. Blazers -120 | 109-107 | Loss | -120 | 18 h 57 m | Show | |
NETS/BLAZERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Nets just gave up 153 points in a loss at Sacramento, and this looks like a tough spot as they close out a four-game road trip before going back home to face Memphis on Sunday. The Blazers have been surprisingly competitive this season. They are 10-4 SU and 11-3 ATS on the season. The Nets are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss. The Nets are 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 games overall. 8* PLAY ON PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS. | |||||||
11-16-22 | Wolves -5 v. Magic | 126-108 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
WOLVES/MAGIC NBA BOOKIE BU$TER Both teams are coming into this game with losing records. The Timberwolves are only 2-6 SU and ATS in their last eight games, but they are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 (2-0 ATS this season). The Magic are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 8* PLAY ON MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES. | |||||||
11-16-22 | Thunder +4.5 v. Wizards | Top | 121-120 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Wizards are coming into this game riding a four-game winning streak, which I think sets up a potential flat spot here against OKC. The Thunder are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a winning home record while the 10-27-1 ATS in their last 38 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Additionally, the Wizards are 8-21-1 ATS in their last 30 games following a straight up win. 10* PLAY ON OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER. | |||||||
11-16-22 | Ohio v. Detroit | 74-88 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER Both teams are 1-1 SU but Ohio is 2-0 ATS. They lost by only one point as a 6-point underdog at Belmont in their season opener and defeated Cleveland State by double digits in their last game. They've been shooting lights out from behind the arc and I expect that to continue here against Detroit Mercy. 8* PLAY ON OHIO. | |||||||
11-15-22 | Grizzlies +105 v. Pelicans | Top | 102-113 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 8 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* WESTERN CONF BEST BET ATS This looks like a great spot to back the Memphis Grizzlies to bounce back from a 102-92 loss at Washington on Sunday. They are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games following an ATS loss. The Pels are coming off a dominant win over Houston, but they have struggled to string solid outings together. They are 1-5 ATS off a win this season and 1-4 ATS after covering the spread in their last game. 10* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. | |||||||
11-14-22 | Clippers -5.5 v. Rockets | Top | 122-106 | Win | 100 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* CLIPPERS/ROCKETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY I like the Clippers to bounce back from a 110-95 home loss to Brooklyn. They got enough depth to grind down this Houston team that has lost eight of its last nine games, with only one of those losses coming by fewer than seven points. The Clippers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* PLAY ON LA CLIPPERS. | |||||||
11-13-22 | Thunder +5.5 v. Knicks | 145-135 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
THUNDER/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Thunder defeated Toronto by just under 20 points as an underdog on Friday, and I think they'll make life difficult for the Knicks at Madison Square Garden Sunday afternoon. Thunder are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 26-7 ATS in their last 33 Sunday games. Knicks are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 Sunday games. 8* PLAY ON OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Blazers v. Mavs -5 | Top | 112-117 | Push | 0 | 12 h 22 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Blazers are looking a lot better than expected. They're coming off a 106-95 win at New Orleans, but they are only 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and this is a tough spot as they're closing out a six-game road trip. The Blazers are dealing with a lot of injuries and the Mavs will be looking to bounce back from two disappointing losses. 10* PLAY ON DALLAS MAVERICKS. | |||||||
11-11-22 | Cavs v. Warriors -125 | Top | 101-106 | Win | 100 | 20 h 25 m | Show |
NBA ATS GAME OF THE YEAR (EAST v WEST) - 10* MAJOR WAGER The Warriors ended a five-game losing streak with a win over Sacramento on Monday. They can still not be all that happy with their performance as they were playing from behind for most of the game. I expect to see a strong showing from the Warriors tonight, and it's a tough spot for the Cavs who will be wrapping up a five-game road trip. Warriors are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 Friday games, 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 3 or more days rest and 14-6 ATS in their last 20 home games. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. | |||||||
11-10-22 | 76ers v. Hawks -120 | Top | 95-104 | Win | 100 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
SIXERS/HAWKS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Hawks will be playing on no rest while the Sixers last played on Nov 7 when they defeated the Suns, but I still like Atlanta in this matchup. They are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games vs. a team with a winning road record while the 76ers are 6-14-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. The Hawks are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings at State Farm Arena. 10* PLAY ON ATLANTA HAWKS. | |||||||
11-09-22 | Knicks v. Nets UNDER 223.5 | Top | 85-112 | Win | 100 | 12 h 10 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER TOTAL The Nets are 3-2 in their last five games, and they've really stepped it up on the defensive end lately. In their last three games, the Nets have allowed only 86, 94, and 96 points and each of their last five games has gone under the total. Under is 10-1 in Nets last 11 vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 5-0 in Knicks last 5 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. | |||||||
11-09-22 | Nuggets -5.5 v. Pacers | 122-119 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
NUGGETS/PACERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER This looks like a great spot to fade the Pacers who are coming off back-to-back wins as underdogs. As a matter of fact, they're 4-1 SU while going 5-0 ATS in their last five, closing all games as underdogs. This run ends tonight against a Denver team that has been shooting the ball lately with 122, 126, and 115 points scored over its last three games. 8* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. | |||||||
11-07-22 | Cavs -115 v. Clippers | 117-119 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 9 m | Show | |
CAVS/CLIPPERS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Cavs are making some serious noise, coming into this game 8-1 SU and ATS. They defeated the Lakers here in LA last night and I don't think playing the second game in two nights will slow them down. The Clippers will also be playing on no rest after taking an L to Utah on Sunday and they are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. 8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. | |||||||
11-07-22 | Pelicans -5 v. Pacers | Top | 122-129 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 22 m | Show |
PELS/PACERS 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Pacers have picked up the pace (no pun intended) with wins in three of their last four games. They had the weekend off after defeating Miami on Friday, but they are only 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 2 days rest. They'll face a Pelicans team that has traded wins and losses all season, so they're on track for a win here after losing in OT at Atlanta on Saturday. Pelicans are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS loss. 10* PLAY ON NEW ORLEANS PELICANS. | |||||||

CELTICS/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Both teams are coming off wins Friday night with the Knicks winning at Philadelphia while Boston defeated the Bulls at home. Celtics are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Knicks are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 home games. 8* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. | |||||||
11-04-22 | Clippers -3.5 v. Spurs | 113-106 | Win | 100 | 13 h 54 m | Show | |
CLIPPERS/SPURS NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER The Spurs took a big beating by Toronto a couple of days ago and now they'll face a Clippers team that is coming off a solid win at Houston. The Clippers are one of the best defensive teams in the league and the Spurs are dealing with injuries. 8* PLAY ON LA CLIPPERS. | |||||||
11-04-22 | Heat -4 v. Pacers | Top | 99-101 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 55 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* HEAT/PACERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER I think the Pacers are in for a tough one after covering the spread in three straight games. They've had three days off since closing out a five-game road trip with a loss in Brooklyn, but that much time off is not necessarily a good thing. The Pacers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 3 or more days rest and the Heat are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Indiana. 10* PLAY ON MIAMI HEAT. | |||||||
11-02-22 | Pelicans -3 v. Lakers | Top | 117-120 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 19 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* PELS/LAKERS MAJOR WAGER The Lakers are 1-5 SU and ATS on the season. They won big last time out, but are still not playing like a team, unlike the Pels who have a good mix of routine and young and hungry players. Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Lakers are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Lakers are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 2 days rest. 10* PLAY ON NEW ORLEANS PELICANS. | |||||||

GRIZZLIES/BLAZERS NBA BOOKIE BOMBER The Blazers are off to a hot 5-1 SU and ATS start to the season, but I think they're in for a tough game here against a Memphis team looking to bounce back from a pair of losses at Utah. Grizzlies are 39-13 ATS in their last 52 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Trail Blazers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 8* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. | |||||||
11-02-22 | Clippers -4.5 v. Rockets | 109-101 | Win | 100 | 13 h 52 m | Show | |
CLIPPERS/ROCKETS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Clippers are only 1-6 ATS on the season. They won by only two points in a 95-93 triumph here at Houston a couple of days ago, but I expect a more comfortable win tonight. Over the last three seasons, the Rockets are 7-17 ATS after allowing 105 points or less in their previous game and 13-25 ATS after scoring 100 points or less in their previous game. 8* PLAY ON LA CLIPPERS. | |||||||
11-01-22 | Warriors -105 v. Heat | 109-116 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
MIKE'S WARRIORS/HEAT NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Both the Warriors and the Heat are coming into this game on a two-game losing streak. The Warriours should be particularly disappointed, losing as decent-sized favorites at Charlotte and Detroit. The Warriors are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The Warriors defeated the Heat 123-110 at home last week. Heat are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games. 8* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. | |||||||
10-31-22 | Hawks +4 v. Raptors | 109-139 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
MIKE'S HAWKS/RAPTORS NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER The Hawks took a 123-115 loss at Milwaukee on Saturday, but they were playing on no rest after beating the Pistons in Detroit the previous night. Hawks are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss, and I think they match up well against this Toronto team. Looking at the metrics, negative regression is likely to come for the Raptors. 8* PLAY ON ATLANTA HAWKS. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Grizzlies -4 v. Jazz | Top | 123-124 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 44 m | Show |
MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Grizzlies have won four of their last five games and they put a 125-110 beating on the Kings at Sacramento Thursday night. The Jazz are in a tough spot coming off a 101-117 loss in Denver Friday night. Jazz are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 0 days rest. Jazz are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. 10* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. | |||||||

MIKE'S HAWKS/PISTONS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Hawks won 118-113 here in Detroit on Wednesday. They failed to cover the 7-point spread, but they're asked to cover a smaller number tonight. Bojan Bogdanovic hit some big threes in the last couple of minutes to keep it as close as it was, and I don't think they'll get as lucky this time around. 8* PLAY ON ATLANTA HAWKS. | |||||||
10-27-22 | Mavs -120 v. Nets | 129-125 | Win | 100 | 22 h 33 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MAVS/NETS NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER This looks like a good spot to back the Mavs to bounce back from a 113-111 loss at New Orleans on Tuesday. The Nets battled the Bucks Wednesday night and they are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 0 days rest. Brooklyn is really struggling on the defensive end and the Mavs have one of the best field goal percentages in the league. 8* PLAY ON DALLAS MAVERICKS. | |||||||

MIKE'S HAWKS/PISTONS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to back the Hawks as they look to bounce back from a humiliating 126-109 home loss to Charlotte. They've had two days to reset while the Pistons are coming off a 120-109 road loss at Washington last night. Hawks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss. Pistons are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. 10* PLAY ON ATLANTA HAWKS. | |||||||

NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S 10* WARRIORS/SUNS TOTAL The Warriors are 3-0 to the over on the season as they've been allowed to run up the score against the Lakers, the Nuggets, and the Kings. Now they go on the road for the first time this season, and they'll face a Suns team that knows how to slow down the Warriors. Under is 13-3 in the last 16 head-to-head meetings and 3-0 in Suns' first three games of the season. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. | |||||||
10-24-22 | Jazz v. Rockets | 108-114 | Win | 100 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
MIKE'S JAZZ/ROCKETS NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER I'll gladly fade the Jazz who will be playing their second road game in two nights. They won 122-121 in OT at New Orleans last night, and that was after an OT win at Minnesota on Friday. The Rockets meanwhile are looking for their first win of the season after losses at Atlanta, to Memphis, and most recently a 20-point setback at Milwaukee. Rockets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. 8* PLAY ON HOUSTON ROCKETS. | |||||||

The Celtics are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and they're coming into this game with an extra day of rest compared to the Heat. Celtics are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 2 days rest and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Miami.

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Nets took a 130-108 loss to the Pelicans in their season opener, while Toronto defeated Cleveland in its first game of the season. The Nets will be dangerous when healthy, but for now they're without Seth Curry and T.J. Warren while Joe Harris is listed as probable for this game. Last season, the Nets were 6-28 ATS as home favorites. This is a short number, but I like the Raptors in this one. 10* PLAY ON TORONTO RAPTORS. | |||||||

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* CLIPPERS/LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Lakers went 10-of-40 (20%) from three-point range in their 123-109 loss to the Warriors on Tuesday. Surely they'll find better looks here against a Clippers team that might be caught on its heels on defense in its season opener. Offensively, I don't think the Clippers will have any issues as the Lakers look quite soft on the defensive end. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. | |||||||

NBA GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S NBA PLAYOFFS TOTAL MAJOR WAGER We cashed the under in Game 5 of the NBA finals, a game the Warriors won 104-94 despite shooting 9-for-40 (22%) from 3-point range and Steph Curry going 0-for-9 from behind the arc. I expect the Warriors to keep bombing away, and more successfully, as they can play without as much pressure as Boston, with a potential Game 7 taking place home at Chase Center. If their shots fall, which I assume they will, the Celtics must score to keep up. 10* PLAY ON OVER. | |||||||

MIKE'S CELTICS/WARRIORS NBA FINALS GAME 5 10* TOTAL TOP PLAY Through the first four games of the NBA finals, we have seen the two teams trade wins and losses and alternate high-scoring with low-scoring affairs. I still expect another low-scoring affair here following a 107-97 Golden State in Boston on Friday. The Celtics are the best defensive team in the NBA, and the Warriors do not get enough credit for their efforts on the defensive end as mostly all we remember are them bombing away from behind the arc. It would take some seriously above average shooting for this to go over, but that'll get less and less likely as the teams get more familiar with each other. Under is 12-3 in Warriors last 15 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 5-0 in Celtics last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home and 18-6 in the last 24 meetings. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. | |||||||

They've struggled with consistency throughout the playoffs though (remember that their last two series both went seven games), and at the end of the last game, the Warriors' stars looked angry and determined rather than deflated. Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Celtics are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. | |||||||

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* WARRIORS/CELTICS NBA TOTAL Golden State took it up a notch defensive in Game 2 and held Boston to 88 points on 38 percent shooting from the field. Now the series moves to Boston, and I expect another low-scoring affair. The Warriors are deadly at home and average 112.6 points per game overall on the season, but that number drops to 109.1 ppg on the road. They clearly do not shoot the ball as well or play at the same high tempo outside of Chase Center, and Boston is arguably the best defensive team in the league. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. | |||||||

GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S NBA PLAYOFFS BEST BET Game 1 was a game of runs, and the Celtics got the last laugh after stunning the Warriors by outscoring them 40-16 in the last quarter and going on a 20-5 run over the last six minutes of the game. This is now pretty much a must-win game for the Warriors as heading to Boston down 2-0 in the series would put them in an extremely difficult spot. Bit of a square play, but I expect a blowout win for the Dubs. Warriors are 24-9-1 ATS in their last 34 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

While the Celtics have had a decent amount of time to heal up since Game 7 on Sunday, there could easily be some injuries lingering from the tough and physical series against the Heat. The Warriors are 9-0 SU and 7-2 ATS as home favorites in the playoffs. They were favorites of at least 5.5 points in those games. I have no doubt they'll cover this short spread in the opener of the NBA finals. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. | |||||||

The previous two games were much lower scoring, with 184 and 173 points respectively. The two teams know each other inside and out by now, and I expect both teams to step up on defense here in this win-or-go-home game. Under is 6-2 in Celtics' last 8 games as a favorite.

They now get a chance to close out the series in front of the hometown crowd at TD Garden, and I don't think Miami can keep this close. Only one of the previous five games in the series was decided by single digits, and Miami is not the same team without NBA Sixth Man of the Year Tyler Herro who has missed the last two games due to a groin injury. Herro was listed as questionable on Thursday, and even if he plays, he's unlikely to be at 100%.

The Warriors failed to complete the true sweep, but there's no way they're missing out on this opportunity to complete the "gentleman's sweep" at home. I fully expect them to press the pedal to the metal again after an uninspired performance last time out, and then there's not anything the Mavs can do to stop them.

With the Celtics winning last time out, that should mean that Miami will take this one, but I don't think that will be the case. Boston has been the better team throughout the series (IMO), and the fact that they're a favorite on the road here in Game 5 says a lot. Heat are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 playoff games as an underdog.

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* TOTAL The first two games of this series were high-scoring affairs, but the following four games have gone under the total. I fully expect another low-scoring game here in this win-or-go-home matchup where the winner will move on to take on the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals and the loser will, well, go home. The losing team has been held to fewer than 101 points in the last four games, and I would not be surprised if neither team tops 100 points in this one. Under is 15-5-1 in Suns last 21 games playing on 2 days rest and 34-16-1 in Suns last 51 games following a straight up loss.

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.

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 Bucks have the upper hand in the series after shooting 45 percent from three-point range in a 110-107 win in Boston on Wednesday.

The Suns are not shooting the ball quite as well on the road as they do at home.

05-02-22 | Mavs v. Suns UNDER 215.5 | Top | 114-121 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 25 m | Show |
MIKE'S MAVS/SUNS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Dallas Mavericks have the second-best scoring defense in the league and they held Utah to 100 points or fewer in four of their six meetings in the first round of the playoffs. They know they'll have to stay aggressive on D to have a chance against the top-seeded Suns. Under is 6-1 in Suns' last 7 games as a home favorite and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings with Dallas. 10* PLAY ON UNDER. | |||||||
05-01-22 | Warriors -128 v. Grizzlies | Top | 117-116 | Win | 100 | 16 h 35 m | Show |
MIKE'S WARRIORS/GRIZZLIES NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Memphis Grizzlies are the higher seed, but they were taken to six games by Minnesota in the first round while the Warriors swept the Nuggets. The young and hungry Grizzlies have had an impressive year and Ja Morant will be one of the best players in the league for years to come, but they miss the experienced leadership that the Warriors have. I think the fact that the bookmakers made Golden State the favorite here says it all. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. | |||||||
05-01-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -4.5 | 101-89 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 7 m | Show | |
MIKE'S BUCKS/CELTICS SIDE The two teams split the four regular-season meetings, with the home team winning outright in each game. The Celtics covered the spread in all four of those games and they are 9-1 ATS in the last nine meetings with the Bucks. Milwaukee forward Khris Middleton will miss the beginning (and possibly all of this series) with a sprained MCL. They would need to be fully healthy to beat this Celtics team that is peaking at exactly the right time and made a sweep of the Nets in the first round look easy. I also like the under. Sure, three of the four regular-season meetings went over the total (and with bigger totals than this), but this is the playoffs. Both teams have been locked in on defense and neither will give up easy looks. 8* 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. | |||||||
04-28-22 | 76ers v. Raptors UNDER 211 | Top | 132-97 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 41 m | Show |
SIXERS/RAPTORS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Each of the last four games in this series has gone under the total. Toronto has seemingly figured out how to defend their opponent and held Philly to 38% shooting in a 103-88 win Monday night. The Sixers have the star players and the flair, but both James Harden and Tyrese Maxey have really struggled in recent games. Still facing elimination, it will be in Toronto's best interest to turn this into another scrappy dogfight, and I expect they will succeed. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
04-27-22 | Bulls v. Bucks UNDER 218 | Top | 100-116 | Win | 100 | 15 h 39 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BULLS/BUCKS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Milwaukee Bucks have held the Bulls to 95 points or fewer in three of the first four games of the series, 81 and 95 points in the last two. The Bulls are lacking healthy playmakers with Alex Caruso in the league's concussion protocol and All-Star Zach LaVine in the NBA's health and safety protocol, in addition to Lonzo Ball and Matt Thomas also being out. Under is 15-5-2 in Bucks last 22 playoff games as a favorite. Under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Milwaukee. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
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. | |||||||
04-24-22 | Warriors -4 v. Nuggets | 121-126 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 47 m | Show | |
WARRIORS/NUGGETS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Golden State Warriors have dominated in every aspect possible through the first three games of this Western Conference first-round playoff series. Game 3 was the closest Denver has come so far, but the Warriors still managed to come back to win 118-113. I don't see the deflated Nuggets being able to put up a fight, and the Warriors close it out today. 8* play on Golden State Warriors. | |||||||
04-24-22 | Bucks -3.5 v. Bulls | 119-95 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SUPER EARLY BUCKS/BULLS NBA BOOKIE BOMBER The Chicago Bulls had the audacity to win Game 2 in Milwaukee, but the Bucks made them pay for the insult with a 30-point rout in Game 3. The Bucks improved to 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 Conference Quarterfinals games while the Bulls fell to 9-23 ATS in their last 32 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games as an underdog. The Bucks are the much better team, and they won't make the mistake of taking the Bulls lightly again after the Game 2 loss. 8* play on Milwaukee Bucks. | |||||||
04-23-22 | Grizzlies -2.5 v. Wolves | 118-119 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
MIKE'S LATE NIGHT GRIZZLIES/WOLVES NBA BOOKIE BU$tER The Memphis Grizzlies are coming off back-to-back wins since being caught off guard by the Wolves in the opener of this series. They'll now be looking to take a 3-1 lead and set themselves up to close out the series at home in a couple of days. They came back from a huge deficit to win Game 3, and I think the demoralized Wolves are toast now. Grizzlies are 26-10 ATS in their last 36 games as a favorite. Grizzlies are 23-11-1 ATS in their last 35 road games. Grizzlies are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Minnesota. Grizzlies are 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings. 8* play on Memphis Grizzlies. | |||||||

NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S MAVS/JAZZ 10* TOTAL MAJOR WAGER The Dallas Mavericks won the first game of this Eastern Conference first-round playoff series 99-93, but the next two games were much higher scoring. Utah won the last game 126-118 and I think we'll see a decent amount of points in this contest as well. The over is 8-2 in Mavericks' last 10 overall and 19-6-1 in Jazz's last 26 playoff games as a favorite. 10* play on OVER. | |||||||

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. | |||||||

TOP-RATED 10* SUNS/PELS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY I absolutely love the Phoenix Suns here. They completely underestimated the Pels in Game 2 following a dominant win in the series opener, but that won't happen again. Now it'll be full steam ahead for the Suns for the rest of the series, and this game is critical as they'll be looking to take back their lost homecourt advantage ASAP. Pelicans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win. Suns are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in New Orleans. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. | |||||||

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S WARRIORS/NUGGETS 10* MAJOR WAGER The Godlen State Warriors have toyed with the Nuggets through the first two games of the series. They've found no answer for how to stop the Warriors three-point shooting and Denver superstar Nikola Jokic is visibly frustrated and got ejected in the last game. I don't see the Nuggets being able to turn this around. Nuggets are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Nuggets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as an underdog. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. |
