Pelicans v. Blazers OVER 237.5 | Top | 128-115 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 40 m | Show |
Get on this quick because this number is sure to move up. Damian Lillard is out for Portand but that never means an UNDER for me because bench players aren't coming in to play defense and in many cases it creates a high tempo game with in increased amount of trips to the FT line. |

Celtics v. Rockets OVER 232 | | 105-116 |
Loss | -104 | 7 h 52 m | Show |
The Rockets have made some moves that has allowed them to be more of an up tempo team and they'll need that against the methodical Celtics. Look for James Harden to be a major reason why we win this play. |
02-11-20 |
Clippers v. 76ers OVER 226.5 | Top | 103-110 |
Loss | -110 | 2 h 27 m | Show |
The Clippers just gave up 145 points in a loss to the horrific Timberwolves. They'll repay that favor after overlooking Minnesota. That gave featured 257 points and Paul George has been on fire from beyond the arc. I can't go against a motivated team who is playing a team who is great at home. Tempo will be quick. |

Suns +12 v. Lakers | | 100-125 |
Loss | -107 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
This number smells like one that begs you to take the Lakers. We're not going to bite on that. The Suns are not a team that quits and showed that in their last meeting. I'm sure the Suns remember outplaying the Lakers in the second half after getting trounced in the first. Take the Suns and the generous points. |

Spurs v. Blazers UNDER 232 | Top | 117-125 |
Loss | -110 | 16 h 57 m | Show |
The Blazers managed just 99 points in their last game against the Nuggets while the Spurs managed just 102 against the Lakers. Normally I would go the opposite of two equal parts but these two teams are bad offensively and are fighting each other for playoff position. I think this will be a grind it out, physical battle. |

Heat v. Clippers OVER 224 | Top | 111-128 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
We can rely on the fact that the Clippers are finally at full strength which means we can expect a normal Clipper output. On the Other side Miami is still dealing with a few injuries which means the pace will be quick because bench players don't come in to play defense. |

Warriors v. Wizards -5 | Top | 125-117 |
Loss | -109 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
With recent win against the Nets and Hornets I'm willing to back a bad defensive team in the Wizards. The warriors are a shell of themselves and even a road win against the Cavs leaves me less than impressed. The Wizards win and cover a shootout. |

Heavy hearts will be in the stands for this one but from a handicapping standpoint its hard to believe that they'll be much defense played in this one. Both teams with use this as a way to express their emotions. Pace of play will be quick.. |

Thunder v. Suns OVER 222.5 | | 111-107 |
Loss | -109 | 14 h 30 m | Show |
This is a very comfortable wager for most who have followed the Thunder for any period of time. As a favorite, OKC has cashed 35 of their last 52 games (67%). If the Thunder play close to how they did against the Kings this game goes OVER easy. |

The addition of Zion Williamson has breathed some life into the Pelicans who were more focused on the defensive end without Zion in the line-up. His presence has an obvious effect on everyone from an offensive perspective. |

Loss | -110 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
Don't put too much emphasis on the Jazz playing last night. Logic doesn't usually take hold in these spots especially after a loss. The Nuggets will be playing shorthanded against a Jazz team who is extremely good defensively. |

Suns v. Mavs -6 | | 133-104 |
Loss | -106 | 5 h 43 m | Show |
The Mavericks bounced back from a loss to the Jazz, like they've done so many times after a loss. Dallas has won 6 of their last 8 games and has to look at this as a must win. Don;t look too much into the back to back scenario as the mavericks roll. |

Loss | -110 | 2 h 23 m | Show |
Tatum and Kanter are out for tonight's contest but that doesn't mean we're going in any direction other than the OVER. With players out I tend to think the pace quickens and the defensive is not as much of a focus. |

Mavs v. Blazers +4.5 | Top | 133-125 |
Loss | -105 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
Dwight Powell is out for the season for the Mavericks while the Blazers seem to be getting healthier. The Mavs have been a great ATS road team but this is a revenge spot after the Mavs beat Portland in the last week. I'll take Portland and the points to return the favor. |
01-22-20 |
Jazz v. Warriors +8.5 | | 129-96 |
Loss | -100 | 6 h 57 m | Show |
A strange number from the perspective that I had the Jazz at least 10.5 point favorites. This game smells and we're going to take advantage. My analysis is simple, I've been doing this long enough to know when I'm being baited into a play and we're not falling for it. |

Spurs +4 v. Pelicans | Top | 121-117 |

Zion is playing tonight and the betting world rushes to put a couple of dollars on the Pelicans. I've said it a 100 times, go against the team with a big name player returning to the line-up. It takes a few games for lineup integration to solidify. |

Pacers v. Suns +1.5 | | 112-87 |
Loss | -103 | 3 h 1 m | Show |
The Suns have played well of late winning 4 of their last 6 which is probably why this number sits where it does. The Pacers were mauled by the Jazz while the Suns proved that they are not a team that has quit, after coming back from a 20-pt 3rd quarter deficit in a loss to the Spurs. |

Clippers +2 v. Mavs | Top | 110-107 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 47 m | Show |
The Clippers have already proven that they can beat Dallas on the road this season after an earlier 15-pt victory. They were exceptional on the defensive end and now face Luka Doncic who has trouble finding consistency. |

Win | 100 | 2 h 20 m | Show |
Anthony Davis is back for the Lakers and you can bet he's going to make an impact in this old rivalry. The Lakers will has a size advantage with Davis in the line-up which should lead to easy buckets, quick transition, and plenty of trips to the line for each team. |

Pacers v. Nuggets OVER 212.5 | Top | 115-107 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show |
Nikola Jokic has been great all season but the Nuggets start seems to be getting stronger as the year progresses. I look for him to put up at least 25 of these points agaist Indiana while T.J. Warren looks to be playing a bigger role for the Pacers. I think both combined will give us 50 as this game flies over the total. |
01-18-20 |
Kings v. Jazz OVER 223 | | 101-123 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
The Kings are beginning their longest road trip of the season tonight and we're going to grab them at their freshest point. The teams have played two UNDERS in both of their meetings this year but that was back in November. Bogdan Bogdanovic will be back in the Kings line-up after missing six games. |

Blazers v. Thunder UNDER 216.5 | Top | 106-119 |
Loss | -110 | 6 h 54 m | Show |
Portland comes into this one a mess. Between illness and injuries I'm not sure how the Blazers will make it to triple digits. They put up 112 against Dallas but that was after Dallas built a huge lead and cruised in the 4th. OKC isn't lighting it up either, I expect this game to be close to the total but poor shooting by both will cash this ticket. |
01-17-20 |
Wizards v. Raptors OVER 228.5 | | 111-140 |
Win | 100 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
The Wizards are a team more concerned about the offensive ennd they they ever are playing defense. They rank among the leagues best team in points per game but they almost never play a defensive battle. This game easily goes over. |

Boston is coming off a horrible loss to the Detroit Pitsons and may be without Jaylen Brown. You also have no idea of how healthy Jayson tatum is after sitting out against Detroit. Boston gets crushed in their 3rd game in four nights. |

Mavs -8 v. Warriors | Top | 124-97 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
Dallas has not been the same without Porzingis but Golden State is a team you can healthy on quick. Even a depleted mavericks team is much better on the offensive end than anything the Warriors can match with and they one of the best on the defensive end as well. Mavericks win by double digits. |
01-13-20 |
Cavs +14 v. Lakers | Top | 99-128 |
Loss | -104 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
The Cavs are playing good basketball and will face a Lakers team who can't be taking this seriously, certainly not to the point where they'll cover a huge number. Cleveland has won with defense and if they have it in them to take down the Nuggets then they'll stay within this number. |

Magic v. Kings -1.5 | Top | 114-112 |
Loss | -109 | 5 h 4 m | Show |
This is not a Magic team that is going to push the pace which is why it best the defensive rating it does but if the Kings can get a lead and push the pace some, I think Sac cruises to a win. |

Cavs v. Nuggets -12.5 | Top | 111-103 |
Loss | -103 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
You may think the Nuggets will be more focused on their match-up against the Clippers Sunday but they have too much talent to allow the Cavs to stick around. They know that they haven't been great in potential letdown spots which is why I don't think we're going to have a repeat of the Wizards loss earlier. |

New Orleans are playing their second of back to back games but that doesn't scare me away from this one. New Orleans have won 7 of their last 9 games while Boston has lost three straight. Pelicans are better defensively compelling me to take the 11 points. |

Bucks v. Kings +9 | | 127-106 |

This looks too easy so as we do in most cases, its time to go the other way. If the Warriors do a walk through against the Kings like they did against the Warriors the Kings could be in a position to win this game outright. I'm guessing Milwaukee with slide through the next two games while doing as little as they can to get the wins. |

The Lakers are playing as well as they have all season, winning their last six. Both teams are experiencing some bumps and bruises but as long as Lebron is on the court the Lakers are the better of the two.

The Jazz took the first game in Charlotte by seven, tonight's game will be a blowout. The Jazz won but struggled to get separation until the 4th quarter. This is a situation that isn't a revenge spot for the Hornets but a revenge spot for Utah who feel like their last meeting was too close. |

Orlando starts a long road trip in Phoenix and like in most sports, I like to play the team starting a trip because that's their freshest point. The Suns have dropped 14 of 21 home games and handled Phoenix by 14 a few weeks ago. I'll take the generous points with the small plus money. |

Spurs +1 v. Grizzlies | Top | 121-134 |
Loss | -110 | 3 h 42 m | Show |
The Grizzlies have played much better over the last month, in fact they could make the case for the team with the most improved offense. However, this is still a team that allowed the Spurs 145 points three weeks ago so I'm compelled to play the Spurs because I don't think Memphis has improved enough to make a 25-30 point defensive difference. |

Do not get caught up in the 'Russell Westbrook returns to OKC' hype, There has been a lot of turnover in Oklahoma but that doesn't mean they're not competitive or rebuilding.

Wolves +18 v. Bucks | | 104-106 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show |
This is a complete mismatch but I can't see where the Bucks will be motivated in this one. They'll blow them out in the first half and go through the motions in the second. Giannis is a go but how long he'll play is a mystery. This just look like a spot where we'll get Giannis for 40 minutes or a team motivated to crush an opponent with bigger challenges ahead. |

The Mavericks were held in check against the l Lakers but for a team you can count on OVERS with for the most part, they will get back to normalcy tonight. Dallas averages almost 118 points a game so look for them to exceed that number in this one. |

Utah just put 120 points on the Clippers with 98 of those points over the final three quarters. They've now scored at least 110 points in 7 of their last 10 games including three of those with 120 points or more. So, even though they haven't been very good on that end of the floor there are signs that they can be relied on to push a game over. |

Bucks v. Bulls UNDER 220.5 | Top | 123-102 |
Loss | -109 | 3 h 6 m | Show |
With Giannis listed as probable for tonight's game bettors are lining up to bet the OVER but like I say on a daily basis, the impact of a returning player usually is not felt immediately. Milwaukee has been playing well without Giannis, especially against poor teams so look for them to continue their success on the defensive end. |

Portland was held in check against the Pelicans last time out but don't let that factor in your decision tonight. The Pelicans have completely changed their style to be a better defensive team and that has worked like a charm. Portland won't shoot 13.8% from beyond the arc tonight. |

Wolves v. Kings -4.5 | | 105-104 |
Loss | -109 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
The Kings have lost four straight games as they fall in danger of a playoff spot. This is a spot where they need to beat a team like Minnesota or they don't deserve to find themselves in the postseason. Harrison Barnes needs to start being the player that the Kings signed him to be. |

Memphis is one of the few teams who are completely healthy. The Grizz were crushing the Thunder a week ago until a complete collapse allowed the Thunder overcome a 21-pt deficit.

Whether it's a suspension or numerous injuries the Wizards are shorthanded, not good for a team who is just 9-20. A week ago the Wizards embarrassed the Pistons so this is also a revenge spot. Pistons get a double digit win. |

The Lakers were blasted by the Denver Nuggets, at home, so they should be plenty motivated to break their 3-game losing streak while extending the Clippers losing ways. This is also a revenge spot for the Lakers after dropping the previous meeting by 10. |

Rockets -10.5 v. Warriors | Top | 104-116 |
Loss | -110 | 3 h 35 m | Show |
It's hard to take points with the Warriors at home. This was supposed to be a marquee Christmas match-up but instead we have a Rockets team who is easily the more talented on paper. Golden State hasn't beaten a team over .500 all season, a streak that won't stop today. |
12-17-19 |
Magic +7 v. Jazz | | 102-109 |
Push | 0 | 4 h 42 m | Show |
I think the Magic play just enough defense to keep this game close. Orlando has been playing better than Utah with the Jazz still a bit of a dissapointment. They have been much more tenacious on the defensive end which means they could steal a win in Utah. |

Push | 0 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
In Portland loss to the Nuggets I thought there was a general lack of effort on their part which led to their 15-pt loss. I understand that injuries have hurt this team on the glass but there are things that just say this team has no interest in second chance points. For Phoenix, they likely can't wait to get back on the court after losing to the Spurs in overtime. I'll take the Suns at home. |
12-16-19 |

Luka Doncic is out for the Mavericks as the Bucks will miss out on having to face yet another star due to injuries. Donte DiVencenzo will run the Bucks offense which will not be that big of a drop off so don't put too much into the Bledsoe injury. |

The spread is going in the way of memphis because of the mass amount of injuries the Heat have but I don't think it'll matter in this match-up but we'll sure take the better of the line. Pump the breaks on the Grizzly hot streak. They still give up too many points for me. |

Fire David Fizdale to shake things up, unfortunately n matter who the head coach is these Knicks seem to be swimming in a poor culture that won;t change until a superstar comes to town. NY managed just 87 points last night in Portland, with 16 of their 24 game cashing UNDER tickets. |

Loss | -110 | 3 h 60 m | Show |
After the Kings big win against the Rockets on Monday where they scored a 119-118 victory, I expect a let down offensively but that doesn't mean that the Thunder will experience the same. Marvin Bagley III is expected back for the Kings after missing 22 games. You guys know how I feel about betting positive things to happen from the start to a lineup that has to learn to play with each other again but this is the exception. |

When there are injuries I like to go over the total in most cases because I know that the back-ups aren't coming in to show off what they can do on the defensive.end. In fact, Milwaukee, who is at full strength, will have their way in the paint against the pelicans who will be more focused on getting out in transition. |

It looks as if Draymond Green is going to play the wing tonight which I think is a great spot for him to be active enough with his match-up with Jae Crowder. I think both teams will play a slow, methodical pace. Neither team puts fear into their opponent offensively. |

The Jazz have dropped 5 of their last 7 games and in that time they've managed to hold their opponent under 100 points just once. Bogdanovic is horrible on the defensive end but makes up for it offensively. The Jazz have a dynamic duo that allows them to stay in games despite their inefficient defensive play. |

Wolves +4 v. Suns | Top | 109-125 |
Loss | -110 | 5 h 18 m | Show |
Minnesota has actually been a decent road team this season and when you give me points against a team that they may have a slight talent edge, I'll take that everyday. If they could find a way to play better defensively they just might be well over .500. Towns and Wiggins too talented to allow the Suns to get a win. |

Magic v. Bucks OVER 218 | | 101-110 |
Loss | -108 | 4 h 49 m | Show |
The Magic's last game featured just 180 points which is why the public has been all over the UNDER. Don't be fooled as we take advantage of a generous number. The Magic are one of the leagues best defensive teams but I need to see them do it against a team like the Bucks before I can blindly bet them UNDER. |

Kings v. Rockets OVER 226.5 | | 119-118 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 27 m | Show |
Too much star power for the Kings to handle although they'll try to keep pace with their strong perimeter scoring. We know this, the Rockets usually have very little interest in defending the basket, prefering to outscore their opponent. This number continues to tumble. |

Pistons +1 v. Pelicans | | 105-103 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 15 m | Show |
Pelicans have dropped 8 straight games, doesn't need to be more clear than that. Detroit is healthier than they've been in awhile are starting to gel. They've even been better on the defensive end. |

Raptors v. Bulls +6.5 | | 93-92 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 1 m | Show |
This is the first time in over a year that Toronto has lost 3 straight games and until that changes I'll take the points. Believe it or not, Toronto hasn't been the same the return of Kyle Lowry who took the place of Fred VanVleet. I've said it 1000 times, don't bet on team with name players coming back until the chemistry is right again. |

Raptors v. Bulls OVER 213 | | 93-92 |
Loss | -105 | 3 h 52 m | Show |
The Bulls played last night so that means we can anticipate a sloppy, high tempo game that will lead to many transition buckets. Even with the potential of VanVleet missing tonights game, I think the more chaos there is the more this game flies over the TOTAL. |
12-09-19 |
Magic v. Bucks -12.5 | Top | 101-110 |
Loss | -105 | 4 h 59 m | Show |
Complete mismatch here despite the Magic playing their best basketball of the season. That may have helped us here with the number being at least a point to a point and a half lower than I expected. Orlando has no answer for Giannis. |
12-09-19 |
Kings v. Rockets -12.5 | Top | 119-118 |
Loss | -106 | 4 h 38 m | Show |
There are a few in the media who is calling out Russell Westbrook and how effective he is on the offensive end. That bodes well for our wager because Westbrook is going to put up huge numbers, sending us to the cashiers cage. Look for the Rockets to be in transition most of the night. There is no scoring combination that can keep up with Houston. |
12-09-19 |
Pistons v. Pelicans OVER 227.5 | Top | 105-103 |
Loss | -110 | 3 h 9 m | Show |
The Pelicans defensive rating is horrific which is why they've lost 8 straight games. This will be a high tempo game with both teams relying on their strength, transition game, in an attempt to win. |
12-09-19 |
Cavs v. Celtics -14 | | 88-110 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 7 m | Show |
The first match-up was close, the second will not be. Cleveland lost the first meeting by 6 (119-113) as they travel to Boston to take on a Celtics team who is a perfect 9-0 at home. Cleveland was crushed by almost 50 points against the Sixers. I will never back a team that has that in them |

Grizzlies +12 v. Jazz | Top | 112-126 |
Loss | -115 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
You will have some motivation with a couple Grizzlies in this one after Jae Crowder and Grayson Allen were traded to Memphis from Utah last Summer. With both teams in a slump its hard to lay double digits with Utah who has dropped 5 of 6. In losses, memphis has looked better than Utah so lets take the generous amount of points. |
12-07-19 |
Suns v. Rockets -10.5 | Top | 109-115 |
Loss | -117 | 4 h 51 m | Show |
The Rockets dominate home home and will again in a complete mismatch. Houston has beaten Phoenix 11 straight times. The NBA's 3rd ranked offensive will have this won by halftime. |

Pacers v. Knicks +6 | Top | 104-103 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 6 m | Show |
David Fizdale is out as coach of the New York Knicks and I'm right on them because nothing sends a message to players more than a coach being fired. Mike Miller now has the keys. Expect a better defensive effort from the Knicks because that's where they need to start, it's also Miller's reputation as a coach. |
12-07-19 |
Cavs +11.5 v. 76ers | Top | 94-141 |
Loss | -115 | 3 h 51 m | Show |
As good as the Sixers have played this season they have been an unreliable wager which doesn't inspire me to lay double digits. Cleveland is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings. If the Sixers can't be the Wizards how will they cover 11.5 against Cleveland. |
12-02-19 |
Knicks v. Bucks -16.5 | | 88-132 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 53 m | Show |
The Knicks are a horrific 16-34-1 ATS against teams with a winning percentage over .600 and have failed to cover 4 of the last 5 meetings against the Bucks. Too much defense in the paint for the Knicks to get many good looks tonight. |
12-01-19 |
Wizards +12.5 v. Clippers | Top | 125-150 |
Loss | -110 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
I tend to back teams on the second of back to back nights, especially after a loss. Historically teams want to get back at it to eradicate a loss. The Wizards have even more of an advantage considering they didn't have to tavel after losing to the Lakers Saturday. I anticipate Bradley Beal getting back to his usual 30-pt night against the Clippers who are just 3-8 ATS playing on one days rest. |

Pelicans +4 v. Suns | Top | 124-121 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
The road team in this series has covered 9 of their 12 meetings while the Pelicans have covered 6 of the last 8 head to head. The Pelicans are not good defensively but thats due to the fact that their pace of play is as fast as anyone in the league. This will be a high scoring affair but the Pelicans cover. |
11-20-19 |
Rockets +1.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 95-105 |
Loss | -110 | 6 h 23 m | Show |
The Rockets are 9-3 ATS after a SU win of 10 points or more while the Nuggets are just 2-6 ATS after a win of 10 points or more. The Rockets have covered 6 of their last 7 meetings. The Nuggets have an impressive record (9-3) but of their 9 wins none are on the level of the Rockets leaving the Nuggets with something to prove. |
11-18-19 |
Thunder v. Clippers -9.5 | | 88-90 |
Loss | -105 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
The Clippers have covered 6 straight home games and 14 of 20 against teams with a losing record. The favorite in this series has covered 8 of 9. I don't want to get excited about a single win but after a 49 point victory against the Hawks, it at least erases the negativity that the Clippers bread on the road of late. If they continue their defensive intensity this will be an easy cover. |
11-18-19 |
Wolves +10 v. Jazz | | 112-102 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
Minnesota has been a reliable road wager of late, covering 7 of their last 9 trips. The T'wolves have also covered 9 of their last 13 trips to Salt Lake. The Jazz have yet to win at home this year while the Timberwolves should be plenty salty after a loss to the Wizards. |

Spurs v. Mavs -4.5 | | 110-117 |

The Spurs are just 7-19-1 STA after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 meetings against Dallas who have covered 6 of their last 8.
The Spurs are just 2-8 since starying the season 3-0. |

Wizards v. Celtics UNDER 230.5 | | 133-140 |
Loss | -110 | 3 h 52 m | Show |
The Under is 7-3 the game after the Celtics scored 100 or more points. I know the Wizards are horrible defensively but this number is too high. Boston will get into the teens but honesty since Jon Wall's achilles injury this is not a team I can't rely on to match points with anyone especially one of the best efensive teams in the league. |

Heat v. Suns -1 | Top | 124-108 |
Loss | -106 | 6 h 31 m | Show |
The Suns have covered 7 straight games and 5 straight at home. History favors the Heat but thats not relevent because just 2 of tonight's 10 projected starters were on the court the last time these two teams met. |

Bulls +1 v. Hawks | Top | 113-93 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 58 m | Show |
The Bulls had the Lakers beat on Tuesday until they collapsed late allowing the Lakers to almost cover the number. The Bulls get right back at it tonight which is always the best thing for a team who should feel as if they were better than LA for 3 quarters. |

Knicks +3.5 v. Pistons | | 102-122 |
Loss | -100 | 1 h 18 m | Show |
The Knicks are off to another bad start but they've covered 5 of their last 7 games after a SU loss. The Pistons have failed to cover 14 of their last 18 overall with the road team in this series covering 6 of the last 7 meetings. The Knicks are bad but they take advantage of the Pistons health issues. |

Lakers -7 v. Bulls | | 118-112 |

The Lakers have covered 13 of their last 16 games and 10 of 11 after and ATS win. The Bulls are just 6-20 ATS at home and have not covered a match-up with the Lakers in five tries. The Bulls have been horrible from the field early on and until some of these open shots go down I can't back them |
11-04-19 |
Blazers -10.5 v. Warriors | | 118-127 |
Loss | -109 | 7 h 0 m | Show |
Portland has covered 7 of their last 8 games against a team with a losing record while the Warriors are just 15-35-1 ATS in their last 51 home games. With D'Angelo Russell queastionable that could leave the Warriors even more shorthanded than they already are. |

Believe it or not the Phoeniz Suns have covered 6 straight games and are an incredible 41-18 ATS against the Atlantic Division. The Sixers won their first game with Joel Embiid, they won't win their second. |
