11-04-22 | Jazz v. Lakers -3 | 130-116 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Feeling at least slightly better about the road ahead, the Los Angeles Lakers will take their first winning streak of the season into a home contest Friday against the Utah Jazz. The Lakers started the season 0-5 but have since defeated the Denver Nuggets and New Orleans Pelicans in succession, needing overtime to get past the Pelicans 120-117 at home Wednesday. The Lakers blew a 16-point third-quarter lead but forced their way into overtime when sharpshooter Matt Ryan drilled an off-balance 3-pointer at the fourth-quarter buzzer. Los Angeles won despite LeBron James shooting just 1 of 5 from the field in the extra period. Lonnie Walker IV led the Lakers with a season-high 28 points and has averaged 23 per game in the back-to-back victories. That compares to Walker's scoring average of 16.1 points overall. A heavier reliance on Walker was needed with James appearing sluggish on the court. After the game, it was revealed that James was dealing with a non-COVID illness earlier in the week. | |||||||
11-04-22 | Warriors +10.5 v. Pelicans | 105-114 | Win | 100 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
The Golden State Warriors are wrapping up a five-game road trip that has gone very poorly. The New Orleans Pelicans are back home for one game after a road trip that could have been a success but wasn't. The Warriors have lost four consecutive games as they visit the Pelicans on Friday night. Golden State has lost to the Charlotte Hornets, Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, and Orlando Magic, and the reigning NBA champions are 0-5 on the road this season. "We haven't been in this position in a while," Golden State guard Stephen Curry said. "We've got to pick each other up. Everybody in that locker room has to figure it out. That's what the job requires. We understand that. Our energy and effort were there." In a 130-129 loss to Orlando on Thursday, the Warriors scored 64 second-half points but gave up 77 as they lost a 12-point halftime lead. Golden State coach Steve Kerr admitted postgame that changes might be necessary. | |||||||
11-04-22 | Hornets v. Grizzlies -11 | 99-130 | Win | 100 | 5 h 7 m | Show | |
After a hard-fought 111-106 win over Portland ended a four-game road trip out West, the Memphis Grizzlies are riding momentum and will return home Friday to take on the slumping Charlotte Hornets. The steady hand of point guard Ja Morant continues to run the show. Morant ranks fifth in the NBA in scoring (31.4 points per game) and is dishing out 6.4 assists per game. But fellow guard Desmond Bane has been fantastic early on. After he sat out a Halloween loss to Utah with an ankle injury, Bane returned Wednesday and scored 20 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Grizzlies to a victory over the first-place Trail Blazers. | |||||||
11-04-22 | Clippers v. Spurs +4.5 | 113-106 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Clippers will look to build on the momentum forged in back-to-back wins when they square off against the up-and-down San Antonio Spurs in the final game of a two-game road trip on Friday. The Clippers head to the Alamo City after a 109-101 win in Houston on Wednesday that evened their season record at 4-4. Paul George led the way with 28 points and key baskets down the stretch and Marcus Morris Sr. added 21 points (18 of them in the first half) and 10 rebounds in the victory, Los Angeles' second straight (both over Houston) after four consecutive losses. Moses Brown added 13 points off the bench for the Clippers while Reggie Jackson hit for 12 in the victory. | |||||||
11-02-22 | Pelicans v. Lakers +3.5 | 117-120 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
Fresh off their long-awaited first victory of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers will see if they can make success a theme Wednesday when they host the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers started the season on a five-game losing streak before scoring a 121-110 victory at home Sunday over the Denver Nuggets. They were the last team in the NBA to finally win a game this season. It was also the first victory for new Lakers head coach Darvin Ham, who has somewhat extended himself on a limb with his decision to use Russell Westbrook off the bench. The plan took flight against the Nuggets, with Westbrook scoring 18 points and sealing the victory with a driving basket with 1:36 remaining. Westbrook's consistency issues last season, his first with the Lakers, and his caustic tone throughout, have not been a good look. So Ham made the change in roles, asking the veteran scorer to embrace the team concept while swallowing his pride. | |||||||
11-02-22 | Jazz +6 v. Mavs | 100-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
During their surprise start, the new-look Utah Jazz have taken on and beaten teams with elite players, including Nikola Jokic, Karl-Anthony Towns, Zion Williamson and Ja Morant. On Wednesday night, they'll get their first shot at another superstar, Luka Doncic, when they visit the host Dallas Mavericks. Judging by the way they've played in the aftermath of the Donovan Mitchell-Rudy Gobert-Quin Snyder era, the Jazz certainly aren't going to quiver at the challenge. They might not have any NBA superstars, per se, but the Jazz aren't lacking in hustle and determination. It's led them to six wins in eight games, making them one of the most intriguing success stories of the early season. "Nobody is backing down or afraid of anything," Jazz guard Mike Conley said after Utah defeated Memphis 121-105 Monday night in Salt Lake City. "That's who we are. We are that team and it's fun to be around that -- guys who are scrappy that don't care about getting elbowed and don't care about fouling too many times." | |||||||
11-02-22 | Kings v. Heat -6 | 107-110 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
The Sacramento Kings will be without star point guard De'Aaron Fox. The Miami Heat may be without star combo guard Tyler Herro. The health of those two players will play a key role in the Wednesday game between the host Heat and the suddenly hot Kings, who have won two straight following a four-game skid. Herro, who entered Miami's Tuesday game averaging 19.9 points, got poked in the left eye in the second quarter of the contest against the visiting Golden State Warriors. He sustained a contusion and did not return, finishing with two points in 10 minutes. The Heat went on to beat the defending NBA champions 116-109. Following the game, Herro said he briefly lost his vision. However, he said he had it back by the end of the contest. | |||||||
10-31-22 | Grizzlies v. Jazz +2.5 | 105-121 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
After Saturday's entertaining back-and-forth contest wasn't decided until the final buzzer, the NBA schedule-makers might be feeling pretty good about a quick turnaround meeting between the Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz. Fresh off a wild 124-123 win, the surprising Jazz will host the Grizzlies for the second time in three nights Monday in Salt Lake City. Viewers can only hope it's as fun to watch as the previous meeting, during which Lauri Markkanen and Kelly Olynyk each scored 23 points and hit a string of key shots late in the fourth quarter for the slim win. "You got to give the Jazz credit," Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said. "They outcompeted us for 48 minutes." | |||||||
10-31-22 | Kings v. Hornets +3 | 115-108 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
The Sacramento Kings open a four-game road swing Monday when they travel to Charlotte to meet a Hornets team coming off an overtime win over the reigning NBA champion. Charlotte experienced the lows and highs of a weekend back-to-back, losing a 113-93 rout on the road Friday to the previously winless Orlando Magic. The Hornets rebounded at home the following night with a 120-113 victory over the Golden State Warriors. Charlotte built a 15-point lead in the third quarter before the Warriors rallied, but the Hornets held the Warriors to just six points in the extra frame. "It says a lot about the guys in the locker room. They sucked it up. We were tired," Charlotte coach Steve Clifford said. "A bunch of guys played well to make the plays at the end of the game. It's a really good win for our team." | |||||||
10-30-22 | Nuggets v. Lakers +4 | 110-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Bones Hyland went off against Utah on Friday night, sinking seven 3-pointers to help the Denver Nuggets beat the Jazz. That type of shooting is unheard of from the Los Angeles Lakers this season. The Lakers lost at Minnesota on Friday night and have lost their first five games of the season. It ties the 2014-15 team for the worst start in franchise history. That team finished 21-61 and unless the shooting improves, this year's squad could struggle to hit 20 wins. They'll go for their first Sunday night when they host the Nuggets in a rematch of Wednesday's game. Los Angeles played Friday without center Anthony Davis, who woke up that morning with back tightness but is hopeful to return against the Nuggets. The Lakers will have guard Russell Westbrook available after he missed the 110-99 loss in Denver. Westbrook scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds off the bench in the loss to the Timberwolves. It is the first time since early in his rookie year, 2008-09, that he has come off the bench. The veteran and 2017 NBA MVP talked with head coach Darvin Ham about being a reserve to provide a spark for the second unit. | |||||||
10-30-22 | Magic v. Mavs -9 | Top | 105-114 | Push | 0 | 6 h 15 m | Show |
Rookie Paolo Banchero has received plenty of fanfare by scoring at least 20 points in each of his first six games to begin his NBA career. Banchero also has shown that he's willing to distribute the basketball following his season-high seven-assist performance in the Orlando Magic's 113-93 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday. The top overall pick of the 2022 NBA Draft will look to fill the box score yet again on Sunday when the Magic visit Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Banchero, 19, collected 21 points and 12 rebounds to pace the Magic to their first win of the season on Friday. He is averaging 23.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 blocks this season. His 141 points over the first six games of his NBA career trail only Hall of Fame member Shaquille O'Neal for the most in franchise history. | |||||||
10-30-22 | Wolves v. Spurs +6 | 98-107 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
There will be plenty of familiarity in the mix when the San Antonio Spurs host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday in the third game between the teams over a stretch of seven days. The teams spilt the two previous contests in Minneapolis, with the Spurs winning 115-106 on Monday and Minnesota prevailing 134-122 on Wednesday. The Spurs have been one of the surprise teams in the early going, winning four of their six games including a 129-124 victory at home over Chicago on Friday. Keldon Johnson scored a season-high 33 points and canned a pair of free throws in the final seconds to lead San Antonio. Jakob Poeltl added 21 points and 13 rebounds for the Spurs, with Zach Collins tallying 16, Jeremy Sochan scoring 13, Josh Richardson hitting for 12 and Tre Jones and Blake Wesley contributing 11 and 10 points, respectively. | |||||||
10-30-22 | Warriors -6 v. Pistons | Top | 114-128 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 49 m | Show |
The optimism surrounding the Detroit Pistons entering this season has been tempered by an early five-game losing streak. In order to end the slide, they'll have to defeat the defending champions. Detroit hosts Golden State on Sunday and will need to shore up its porous defense to have any chance of pulling an upset. The Pistons were defeated twice at home by Atlanta this week, getting blitzed by guard Trae Young and his teammates. Young scored 35 points in the Hawks' 118-113 victory on Wednesday, then erupted for 36 points and 12 assists in just three quarters on Friday as Atlanta rolled to a 136-112 triumph. Coach Dwane Casey questioned his team's defensive pride after the latest loss. "They shot almost 57 percent and that's just a sign of lack of commitment," he said. "We have to make up our minds that teams aren't going to walk in and do whatever they want to us." A big night for franchise player Cade Cunningham was wasted in the process. Despite foul trouble, Cunningham scored a career-best 35 points and also contributed nine rebounds and eight assists. However, his teammates shot 36.5 percent from the field. | |||||||
10-28-22 | Bulls v. Spurs +5 | 124-129 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
DeMar DeRozan will be chasing a milestone in a familiar neighborhood when his Chicago Bulls visit the young and feisty San Antonio Spurs on Friday. Both teams have won three of their five games this season, with the host Bulls coming off a 124-109 win against Indiana on Wednesday and San Antonio returning home after a 134-122 loss in Minnesota on the same day. DeRozan had 17 points in Wednesday's win and drew to within seven points of becoming the 54th player in NBA/ABA history to reach the career 20,000-point plateau. He will likely reach that mark in San Antonio, where he was the go-to player for the Spurs for three seasons ending in 2021. Only six active players have reached the milestone. | |||||||
10-27-22 | Mavs v. Nets +3 | 129-125 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
When the Dallas Mavericks visited the Brooklyn Nets on March 16, they constantly frustrated Kevin Durant with double teams and then escaped with a two-point win on a game-winning 3-pointer by Spencer Dinwiddie against his former team. The Nets are off to a frustrating start after an eventful summer, and the Mavericks will attempt to make things difficult for them again when the teams get together Thursday night in New York. In the previous meeting, Dallas held Durant to 23 points and forced him to miss 12 of 20 shots. The Mavericks emerged with a 113-111 win when Dinwiddie hit the game-winning 3-pointer in front of Brooklyn's bench. | |||||||

The New Orleans Pelicans lost their top two players as well as their home opener on Sunday night. On Monday, they announced that one -- All-Star forward Brandon Ingram -- has entered the concussion protocol. There was no timetable announced for Ingram's return. Zion Williamson (bruised hip, sore back) has been ruled out for Tuesday night, when the Pelicans host the Dallas Mavericks. "They're a little banged up," coach Willie Green said after practice Monday. The same is true of starting forward Herbert Jones, who has a sore knee and fouled out of Sunday's 122-121 overtime loss to the Jazz. Jones has also been ruled out against the Mavs. | |||||||
10-25-22 | Pistons +6 v. Wizards | 99-120 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
Each game is a learning experience for the youthful Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards, who meet in the nation's capital on Tuesday night. The first week of the season has been a mixed bag, but both have a reason for optimism. Detroit has lost two games following its season-opening win over the Orlando Magic, while Washington began with two successive wins before losing 117-107 in overtime to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. The Pistons boast an impressive core of young players led by second-year point guard Cade Cunningham, who is averaging 18.3 points and seven assists. Cunningham led the Pistons with 22 points in a 124-115 loss to Indiana Pacers on Saturday. Detroit led by 14 points in the first quarter but struggled defensively in the second half. The defense has been an early concern for the Pistons, who have allowed an average of 121 points in their first three games. | |||||||

Mike Brown will get to take a bow in front of his former fans Sunday night when the ex-assistant coach for the NBA title-winning Golden State Warriors leads his new team, the Sacramento Kings, into San Francisco to duel the reigning champs. Brown spent the past six seasons as Steve Kerr's chief assistant, helping guide Golden State to championships in 2017 and 2018 before last season's NBA Finals triumph over the Boston Celtics. Brown hadn't even experienced the Warriors' championship parade in June before he was named head coach of the Kings, who had fired Luke Walton early in the season and then did not retain interim replacement Alvin Gentry after the club completed its 16th straight season without a playoff berth. The Kings have yet to win for Brown, dropping tight decisions at home to the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Clippers. The latter occurred on Saturday night, 111-109. Brown, who previously served as head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers, knew it wouldn't be easy reversing the fortunes of Northern California's "other" team. So he spent much of his summer trying to connect with Sacramento's key players, including De'Aaron Fox. | |||||||

For Detroit Pistons coach Dwane Casey, a comeback from a double-digit deficit Wednesday provided some much-needed optimism in the midst of an extended rebuild. For the New York Knicks, their attempt to overcome a double-digit deficit offered another hard-earned lesson about the narrow margins between happiness and disappointment under coach Tom Thibodeau. The Pistons will look to build off their recent rally on Friday night when they visit New York for the Knicks' home opener. Both teams were off Thursday after back-and-forth season openers Wednesday night. The Pistons outlasted the visiting Orlando Magic, 113-109, while the Knicks fell to the host Memphis Grizzlies, 115-112, in overtime. The Pistons, who finished with the third-worst record (23-59) in the NBA last season while missing the playoffs for the third straight time and the 11th time in 13 years, got off to a slow start Wednesday, when the Magic raced out to a 21-6 lead. But the Pistons led 57-55 at the half and led by as many as 12 in the third quarter before fending off a comeback by the Magic, who tied the game at 99-99 with 5:17 left. Detroit scored the next seven points and finally finished off Orlando when Isaiah Stewart drained a 3-pointer with 11.6 seconds remaining to extend the lead to 111-107. | |||||||

Kawhi Leonard plays in a game that matters for the first time in 16 months when the Los Angeles Clippers battle the host Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. It will be the season debut for the Clippers. The Lakers opened with a 123-109 road loss against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. The Clippers went 4-0 against the Lakers last season and have won the past seven meetings. Even though LeBron James and Anthony Davis will be on the floor for the Lakers, the presence of Leonard will be the focal point of the latest matchup between the crosstown rivals. Leonard tore his right ACL on June 14, 2021 during Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Utah Jazz. He underwent surgery a month later and missed the 2021-22 campaign. Leonard recently addressed the long period of rehabbing the knee. | |||||||
10-19-22 | Hornets +1 v. Spurs | 129-102 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
The Charlotte Hornets and host San Antonio Spurs will be carrying differing expectations when they square off in the season opener on Wednesday. There is a lot of similarity between the two teams, as both are in rebuilding mode. Both teams made the conference play-in tournament as the 10th seed, then lost in the first game, in each of the past two seasons. Charlotte brought back veteran coach Steve Clifford in the offseason to steer its combination of youthful players and proven veterans. Clifford, who was previously at Charlotte's helm from 2013-14 to 2017-18, will look to help the Hornets build a defensive presence that can spark a deep postseason run. The Hornets are led by all-star point guard LaMelo Ball, who averaged 20.1 points, 7.6 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game last year in his second season. Ball is expected to miss Wednesday's game with a sprained left ankle after getting injured in the Hornets' preseason loss to the Washington Wizards on Oct. 10. Charlotte will go big on Wednesday with a starting five of forwards Kelly Oubre Jr., Gordon Hayward and P.J. Washington, center Mason Plumlee and point guard Terry Rozier in Ball's stead. Rozier averaged 19.3 points per game in 2021-22. | |||||||
10-19-22 | Knicks v. Grizzlies -4 | 112-115 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 37 m | Show | |
The last decade has been a fortuitous one for long-suffering NBA teams, with four franchises ending lengthy championship droughts. On Wednesday night, the Memphis Grizzlies will open a run toward a possible first championship in team history against the visiting New York Knicks, who have, perhaps, the NBA's most infamous title drought of all. The Grizzlies tied their franchise record for wins last season, when they went 56-26 and earned the second seed in the Western Conference playoffs before falling to the eventual NBA champion Golden State Warriors in the second round. The Knicks, who reached the playoffs for the first time in seven seasons in 2020-21, struggled to build on that momentum last season and finished 37-45. They were six games out of 10th place in the Eastern Conference and the final spot in the play-in tournament. With an exciting core of home-grown players, the Grizzlies open the season as a popular pick to advance deep into the playoffs next spring. Memphis, led by All-Star point guard Ja Morant, averaged 115.6 points per game last season, second-most in the NBA. Morant has loads of optimism after he missed 25 games during the regular season due to various injuries before he missed the final three games of the playoff series against the Warriors due to a bone bruise in his right knee. An All-Star for the first time last season, Morant said his goal is to not only lead the Grizzlies to the NBA Finals for the first time since the franchise was founded in Vancouver in 1995 but to win it all. The Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors all ended decades-long title droughts since the spring of 2015. | |||||||

The Lakers are just 11-27ATS in their last 38 games following an ATS win and just 7-19 ATS after allowing 125 points or more in their previous game. The Pelicans are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite. | |||||||
03-26-22 | Nets -3.5 v. Heat | 110-95 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
The Nets are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings in Miami and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 road games. Miami has failed to cover 6 straight games and 5 straight at home. | |||||||
03-23-22 | Nets v. Grizzlies +3 | Top | 120-132 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show |
The Grizzlies seem to have the Nets number when it comes to covering games. Memphis has cashed five straight over Brooklyn and 36 of 53 overall. Brooklyn has been an unreliable favorite, losing 22 of 30. | |||||||
03-21-22 | Jazz -1 v. Nets | 106-114 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
The Jaxx haven't been a great wager of late but they've owned the Brooklyn Nets, covering 5-2 of their last 7 in Brooklyn and 19 of 26 overall. | |||||||
03-16-22 | Raptors -1 v. Clippers | 103-100 | Win | 100 | 14 h 39 m | Show | |
The Raptors have covered 4 straight road games and 27 of their last 37 when they allow 100 points or more in their previous game. Los Angeles is just 2-7 ATS at home against teams with winning road records. | |||||||
03-15-22 | Nets -9.5 v. Magic | Top | 150-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
The Nets are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 road games and 6-2-1 ATS when playing on one days rest. The magic have been horrible as home dogs for years. | |||||||
03-14-22 | Hornets v. Thunder +9.5 | Top | 134-116 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
The Charlotte defense is a polar opposite to its offense as the Hornets are 28th in the NBA in points allowed at 114.9 points per game. Charlotte is allowing opponents to shoot 46.4% overall and 35.7% from behind the three-point line. Too many points for team that can't play defense. | |||||||
03-12-22 | Raptors v. Nuggets -5 | Top | 127-115 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 21 m | Show |
Toronto has covered two straight but overall but still have failed to cover 6 of 9. They are also just 2-6 ATS after scoring 100 pts or more in their previous game. Toronto is just 7-22 ATS in their last 29 meetings and 0-6 ATS in Denver. | |||||||
03-10-22 | Warriors v. Nuggets +3.5 | Top | 113-102 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 31 m | Show |
The Denver nuggets come into this one failing to cover their last two games but overall they've won 12 of their last 14 games, and now the bookmakers are giving us points who have failed to cover 10 of their last 13. One of those covers was against the Nuggets getting 8 points. This is a true oversight and we're taking full advantage. | |||||||
03-09-22 | Suns +8.5 v. Heat | Top | 111-90 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
No movement on this number and I expect it to stay that way. I think the Heat is going to win this game but 8.5 is too much for me. It makes me feel as if the bookmakers are begging you to take the Heat who have covered 5 straight. The Suns have covered 8 of 11 road games and despite this looking like an easy Heat winner, I'm taking the generous points. | |||||||
03-09-22 | Bulls -6 v. Pistons | Top | 114-108 | Push | 0 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
There couldn't be two teams going to in two separate directions. The Bulls have dropped 5 straight games ATS while the Pistons are on a 8 game cover streak. No matter, the Pistons are one team that the Bulls have owned, covering 10 of their last 11 meetings, including 5 straight in Detroit. We're getting a good number on this as the public has jumped on Detroit. | |||||||
03-08-22 | Nets -3.5 v. Hornets | Top | 132-121 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
The Brooklyn Nets have failed to cover 5 of their last 7 games but are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 meetings in Charlotte, while the Hornets are just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games. | |||||||
03-08-22 | Cavs v. Pacers +4.5 | Top | 127-124 | Win | 100 | 12 h 43 m | Show |
The Pacers have failed to cover in 2 straight games and 4 of 6, but they own the Cavs at home covering 7 of their last 10 meetings and 10-1-1 the game after allowing more than 125 points. | |||||||
03-07-22 | Warriors +9.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 124-131 | Win | 100 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
The Warriors have failed to cover 10 of their last 11 games, with a push, while Denver has covered two straight and three straight when the number is under single digits. Denver has been bumped up a little from it's opening number of 9.5, that's too rich for my blood, especially with Denver who are just 30-33-1 ATS this season. | |||||||
03-04-22 | Cavs +7.5 v. 76ers | 119-125 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
When it looks too easy, it usually is. The Cavs have failed to cover 6 straight games while the 76ers are on a 4 game cover streak, yet somehow, the number is just 7.5. I expected the Sixers to be double digits based on the current form, but the Cavs have been a reliable cover team for much of the season until this recent 6-game stretch. Cleveland has covered 6 of their last 8 in Philadelphia and 14 of 20 against the NBA's Elite. | |||||||
03-03-22 | Pistons v. Raptors -8.5 | 108-106 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
It's that time of year again when I'm going to start fading the worst teams in the league down the stretch. The Pistons have covered 5 straight to keep this number low but the Raptors win by double digits. | |||||||
03-02-22 | Jazz -13.5 v. Rockets | Top | 132-127 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
This is another chance to jump on teams playing teams that are going to start tanking down the stretch. Utah has covered 4 straight games in Houston and 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 following a SU win. The Rockets are 0-6 ATS playing their second of back-to-back games. | |||||||
03-01-22 | Clippers -6.5 v. Rockets | Top | 113-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
This is backed by a system that I've created at the mid-point in the season and the results have been terrific as I continue to fade teams that I think will tank down the stretch, especially at home where you get the shorter number. | |||||||
02-27-22 | Clippers -6.5 v. Rockets | Top | 99-98 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
I've been on this trend for a long time. I'm going to fade teams that I think are going to start fading away in the second half, a category the Rockets fall into. | |||||||
02-27-22 | Pistons v. Hornets -9.5 | Top | 127-126 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
This is another opportunity to jump on a game that involves a team that I think will be a definite fade down the stretch. This will be the angle I'll be looking at through the end of the season. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Celtics -11 v. Pistons | Top | 113-104 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 20 m | Show |
The Celtics thumped the Nets with contributions that came from most of the active roster. Jayson Tatum led the way with 30 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, while Jaylen Brown added 18 points and six boards. When Tatum and Brown are playing at a high level, they are a difficult team to stop. The Celtics have been able to turn their misfortunes around over the last month. If Marcus Smart is able to help Tatum and Brown as the team’s third option, he will cause problems for the Pistons. | |||||||
02-25-22 | Heat -5.5 v. Knicks | 115-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
The Miami Heat and New York Knicks begin their second-half journeys on Friday at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks host the matchup with a 13-17 record at home this season. New York is 25-34 overall, with Miami entering at 38-21 overall and 19-14 in road games. R.J. Barrett (ankle) and Nerlens Noel (foot) are listed as questionable for New York, with Derrick Rose (ankle) listed as doubtful. Kemba Walker (not with team) is also out for the Knicks. | |||||||
02-25-22 | Spurs -3 v. Wizards | Top | 157-153 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
The Spurs are a team that the Wizards have never played well against and will be a team I will fade down the stretch even though both are within reach of the play in game. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Warriors -9.5 v. Blazers | 132-95 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
The Warriors (41-17) lost four of five heading into the All-Star break but remain second in the West behind the Suns. Portland (25-34) has won four in a row and is 10th in the conference, the final play-in spot for the playoffs. The teams have met twice already this season, with the Warriors winning both by at least 10 points. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Grizzlies -1.5 v. Wolves | 114-119 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies went into the All-Star break with a disappointing 119-123 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Ja Morant and Desmond Bane combined to score 74 points, but their efforts went in vain as the Grizzlies fell short on the night. I expect the Grizzlies to bounce back tonight to get the second half underway. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Suns -10 v. Thunder | 124-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
The Phoenix Suns have been the best team in the NBA this season. They sit in the top spot in the West with a 48-10 record. Many have picked them as favorites, but the remaining games will determine a lot for them as a team. Chris Paul recently suffered an injury and will be out of action for six to eight weeks. His absence will definitely be felt as he is one of the most important players on the Sun, however, his presence will be felt when playing the worst teams in the league. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Celtics -8.5 v. Nets | 129-106 | Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
The second half of the season means I'm going to start fading teams who are going to soon be out of the playoff picture. Kevin Durant (knee), Kyrie Irving (ineligible), Ben Simmons (reconditioning) and Joe Harris (ankle) are out for Brooklyn. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Cavs -6 v. Pistons | 103-106 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
I'm going to start fading teams that are going to tank in the second half of the season. I want the spread to be under double digits but I'll take teams that are reliable offensively against the worst teams in the league. | |||||||
02-16-22 | Jazz -4.5 v. Lakers | Top | 101-106 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
Gone are the days where the Lakers can rely on their prolific point-of-attack defense, chasers and wing stoppers who they all exchanged for in the Russell Westbrook trade and when they decided to acquire more offense in the off season. | |||||||
02-16-22 | Raptors -1.5 v. Wolves | Top | 103-91 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Toronto is coming off a 30 pt loss to New Orleans but don't let that scare you away from taking the Raptors tonight. The Raptors are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games at Minnesota. | |||||||
02-16-22 | Spurs -7.5 v. Thunder | Top | 114-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is out due to a sprained ankle. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is out due to a fractured foot. Lu Dort is out due to a shoulder strain. Mike Muscala is out due to ankle soreness. Kenrich Williams is out due to a knee sprain. Ty Jerome is out due to hip soreness. Take the Spurs in this one. | |||||||
02-16-22 | Hawks -5.5 v. Magic | Top | 130-109 | Win | 100 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
The Orlando Magic have the second-worst record in the NBA and are in the midst of a complete tear-down rebuild. According to Tankathon, the Magic have a 52.1% chance of landing a top-four draft pick and a 14% chance of getting the highly-coveted number one draft pick. | |||||||
02-15-22 | Cavs +1 v. Hawks | 116-124 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
What the Cavs lack in offensive fireworks, they more than make up for with their defense. Thanks to the size, length, and athleticism of the roster, the Cavs have the third-best defensive rating. No team in the NBA gives up fewer points per game (102.1). | |||||||
02-11-22 | Nuggets v. Celtics -6 | 102-108 | Push | 0 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
While Boston is dealing with some absences as it overhauls part of its roster, the Nuggets will be dealing with perhaps the biggest one on either side. Monte Morris has been ruled out with a concussion, creating a huge hole in the backcourt. Though Austin Rivers is listed as probable, it seems Bones Hyland will be the one to take on more minutes in Morris’ absence. The rookie was sensational in a 17-point rout of the Knicks earlier this week, scoring 22 points on 6-of-12 shooting and 4-of-7 from three, which was the third-best output of his career. It’s important to note that given the contributions Morris has made on offense. | |||||||
02-07-22 | Knicks v. Jazz -7.5 | Top | 104-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show |
After reaching the postseason last year, the New York Knicks were supposed to kick on and build from there. But that hasn't been the case this season as a string of poor performances has had folks questioning whether last year's exploits were a fluke. Kemba Walker's acquisition over the summer brought a lot of hype to the organization but has provided the Knicks with nothing in terms of performances as Walker has been called out for his defensive frailties. Veteran teammate Julius Randle has also come under immense scrutiny this season while another veteran player in Derrick Rose continues to be plagued by injuries. | |||||||
02-03-22 | Heat -5.5 v. Spurs | 112-95 | Win | 100 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
Both teams have had tremendous issues while dealing with injuries but with most a game time decision, my guest is the Heat will have definitive man advantage when this one tips off. | |||||||
02-02-22 | Hornets +5 v. Celtics | 107-113 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
This is still a shooting mis-match even though both teams come in as moving parts in opposite directions. The Celtics struggle to touch 44% on a typical night why Charlotte is still one of the more reliable teams on offense. | |||||||
02-01-22 | Wizards +11.5 v. Bucks | 98-112 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
This is a tough Milwaukee Bucks team to rely on, even against the Washington Wizards. Washington goes through spurts of bad basketball but once in awhile they play a top team and show 48 minutes of what they could be. | |||||||
01-30-22 | Jazz v. Wolves -2 | 106-126 | Win | 100 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
Minnesota dropped its previous two contests, most recently versus the NBA's best record holders in the Phoenix Suns on Friday evening. The Timberwolves put together a valiant effort in the second night of a back-to-back, but ultimately fell 134-124. Anthony Edwards led the team with 27 points while Malik Beasley added 26, including 18 in the fourth quarter. Utah has lost four straight games and 10 of their last 12 matchups overall, with a 119-109 loss at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Danuel House led the Jazz with 21 points in the defeat. | |||||||
01-30-22 | Cavs -7.5 v. Pistons | Top | 105-115 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 24 m | Show |
There's no comparison on the offensive end between these two teams. The Cavs shoot almost 47%, if they are near that number the Pistons will never keep pace. | |||||||
01-30-22 | Blazers v. Bulls -5 | 116-130 | Win | 100 | 2 h 41 m | Show | |
It's the start of a very busy week for the Bulls as they play four games in six days beginning with today's encounter against the Portland Trailblazers. Portland, very much like the Bulls, are a banged up basketball team . The Blazers are without future Hall of Fame player,Damian Lillard who underwent abdominal surgery two weeks ago and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. | |||||||
01-29-22 | Raptors v. Heat -3.5 | 124-120 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
The Miami Heat have the feel-good story of the season. Undrafted rookie Omer Yurtseven has turned out to be a real diamond in the rough. He’s now the Rookie of the Week, after averaging 15.2 points, 12.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in his last six games. Miami are looking deeper this season, with the improvement of their youngsters. Superstar center Bam Adebayo has been upgraded to questionable for this game, which could allow him to return after injuring his thumb in December. His presence makes the Miami Heat better at both ends of the floor. | |||||||
01-29-22 | Kings v. 76ers -10.5 | Top | 101-103 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
When the 76ers visited the Kings on Nov. 22, the severely shorthanded Sixers took a 102-94 victory, despite missing Embiid, Harris, Seth Curry, and Danny Green. So now that they are much healthier, there's no way the Kings stay within the number. | |||||||
01-29-22 | Pacers v. Mavs -10.5 | 105-132 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
The Pacers are coming off a 113-110 overtime victory in Oklahoma City on Friday that saw the Blue & Gold rally from a 16-point third-quarter deficit to eke out the win. The biggest catalyst in the victory was the return of Domantas Sabonis. Indiana's All-Star forward returned to the floor after missing the previous four games with a sprained ankle and didn't miss a beat, putting together another virtuoso performance. Sabonis registered his fifth triple-double of the season with 24 points, 18 rebounds, and 10 assists, all team highs. As always, the biggest challenge against Dallas will be finding a way to slow down Luka Doncic. The 22-year-old phenom is averaging 25.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game and has helped lead the Mavs to wins in 12 of their last 15 contests. | |||||||
01-28-22 | Blazers v. Rockets +3.5 | 125-110 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
The rollercoaster ride continues. After a successful 4-2 road trip, the Portland Trail Blazers came home to Moda and promptly lost twice. That will take the wind out of your sails. More distressingly, they may have lost Nassir Little for the season, just as he was really starting to come into his own. Now it’s back on the road again for the next four games, starting with a visit to Houston. | |||||||
01-28-22 | Clippers +7.5 v. Heat | Top | 114-121 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
The Heat and Clippers meet for the second and final matchup this season. Earlier this season, the Clippers recorded a, 112-109, win in Los Angeles on 11/11. Miami now looks to snap a team-long six-game losing streak to the Clippers. For the Heat, Markieff Morris (protocols), Kyle Lowry (personal reasons) and Victor Oladipo are out. | |||||||
01-27-22 | Wolves +6.5 v. Warriors | 115-124 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been heating up lately, winning eight of their last 11 games. They have catapulted themselves into seventh place in the Western Conference. They are coming off of a 109-107 road victory over the Portland Trail Blazers behind a 40-point performance from Anthony Edwards. The Timberwolves have built a very solid three-headed monster, especially on the offensive end of the court. They can fill it up in bunches. Edwards, D’Angelo Russell, and Karl-Anthony Towns are all averaging over 19 points per game. Despite a 11-13 road record, they have covered in 13 of those 24 games and the over has hit in 11 of their last 14 road games. These three can flat out score. | |||||||
01-26-22 | Mavs v. Blazers +4.5 | 132-112 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
You're still getting a Portland team who plays pretty well defensively as they try to make up for the loss of Damian Lillard. This line indicates that the books would like the public to be on Dallas, we're not falling for that. | |||||||
01-26-22 | Suns v. Jazz +2 | Top | 105-97 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
Phoenix now stands at 37-9 overall, though it is still just 25-21 against the spread. While the Suns have taken out plenty of quality opponents this season, the most recent run may leave them slightly overvalued here. The Suns have covered four times over this seven-game winning streak but have failed to do so in the past two. The most recent game came against this same Jazz side, when they won by six in a game in which they were 12.5-point favorites. | |||||||
01-26-22 | Grizzlies v. Spurs +4.5 | 118-110 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
San Antonio has home-court advantage in this game and has a great chance at knocking off a Western Conference heavyweight. The Spurs are not the Spurs of old, but are still well-coached and have some talent of their own. Dejounte Murray is a favorite to win Most Improved Player of the Year this season with numbers of 19.3 PPG, 8.5 RPG, and 9.0 APG. Not to mention, Derrick White can get hot at any moment. This game may not look it on paper, but this is shaping up to be a great matchup. | |||||||
01-26-22 | Nuggets v. Nets +2.5 | 124-118 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
In games with zero days rest, the Nuggets are 1-6. They shoot 32% from three and 45% overall with about 13 turnovers per game. | |||||||
01-26-22 | Hornets v. Pacers +2 | 158-126 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 52 m | Show | |
The Hornets have dropped two games in a row, including a 125-113 road loss to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday. "Not enough effort, not enough urgency," Charlotte coach James Borrego said. "We got to correct that." Those are not the words I want to hear when betting on a team. | |||||||
01-25-22 | Pelicans +11.5 v. 76ers | 107-117 | Win | 100 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia 76ers have been successful on the road all season. The goal now is to be equally strong at home. In a bizarre season, the Sixers have gone 17-9 on the road and 10-10 at home. They will host the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night looking to move above .500 on their home court. The Pelicans will be searching for their third consecutive win when they visit the Sixers. Despite playing without Brandon Ingram (ankle), New Orleans had six players score in double figures during a 117-113 home win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday. | |||||||
01-24-22 | Bulls v. Thunder +1.5 | 111-110 | Win | 102 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
In their last 9 games, Chicago has managed a meager 2 wins and has gone from comfortably sitting atop the East to third and one game behind new Conference leaders, Miami Heat. Granted the Bulls are depleted by injuries of late but this must be alarming even to the strongest of Bulls fans. The Bulls lost last night in Orlando, losing 114-95 to the league’s worst team. DeMar DeRozan continued his strong form with an astounding 41 points on 71% shooting from the field. However it will alarm both Bulls fans and coaching team alike that the rest of the team combined for only 54 points. The Bulls bench only scored 10 points – I think that says it all about this depleted Bulls squad at present. They are relying heavily on one man and there’s only so much one man can do. | |||||||
01-21-22 | Heat v. Hawks -1.5 | Top | 108-110 | Win | 100 | 5 h 11 m | Show |
Last Friday night, the Heat defeated the Hawks for the second time in 48 hours. However, something was noticeably different in the home/away series. Last Wednesday, the Heat destroyed the Hawks 115-91 in their first matchup of the week (and the fans let the Hawks hear about it). Although the Hawks dropped the second game 124-118, their hustle and intensity were markedly better. Since that time, the Hawks are 2-1 with two consecutive home wins. For the first time since November, this team is showing signs of life. What's most interesting is they are accomplishing this without Clint Capela and Bogdan Bogdanovic. | |||||||
01-20-22 | Pelicans +4.5 v. Knicks | 102-91 | Win | 100 | 3 h 22 m | Show | |
Falling to the Hornets and Timberwolves -- each of whom are in a play-in position -- was a discouraging start to a pivotal stretch for the Knicks. After facing New Orleans, which entered Wednesday tied for 12th place in the Western Conference, New York is slated to play 16 of its next 18 games against teams currently within the top 10 in their respective conferences. | |||||||
01-19-22 | Clippers v. Nuggets -8.5 | 128-130 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
The LA Clippers sit in eighth place in the Western Conference standings. They are still putting up a fight despite the absence of Leonard and George. Leonard, who is recovering from knee surgery, is expected to play later in the season. Meanwhile, George has an elbow injury, and the Clippers could shut him down for the rest of the season. If the season is lost, the Clippers may possibly be active sellers at the trade deadline. But if they keep on winning, there's a chance they will allow Leonard and George to return. | |||||||
01-19-22 | Pistons v. Kings -6 | 133-131 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
Detroit will have to find a way to slow down De’Aaron Fox. With Haliburton out, Sacramento figures to rely heavily on Fox’s speed to create easy looks for teammates. | |||||||
01-19-22 | Rockets v. Jazz -13.5 | 116-111 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 41 m | Show | |
The Jazz are interesting because you look at the team as currently constructed and you wonder how they can get appreciably better. They have an alpha on offense (Donovan Mitchell) and an elite rim protector (Rudy Gobert) to make up for their so-so- perimeter defense. They have surrounded Mitchell with another ball-handler (Mike Conley Jr.) and shooters (Royce O’Neale, Bojan Bogdanovic, Rudy Gay, and Joe Ingles). They even have an electric sixth man to help guide the offense when Mitchell sits (Jordan Clarkson). PauseCurrent Time 0:11/Duration 0:32Loaded: 100.00% HQCaptionsFullscreenUnmute0 | |||||||

On Monday, we told you that Golden State's Steph Curry was now the clear favorite to win a third-career NBA regular-season MVP Award thanks to the injury suffered by former favorite Kevin Durant, and Curry will play Tuesday night in what appears to be a major mismatch against the visiting Detroit Pistons after sitting out Sunday. The Dubs remain without Draymond Green but are still 15-point favorites. I think the books are trying to coerce you to bet the Pistons, but we won't fall for that. |
