06-19-21 | Bucks v. Nets -120 | Top | 115-111 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nets MONEY LINE (10* MONEY LINE GAME OF THE YEAR). I think that James Harden will play significantly better here in Game 7. Kevin Durant though continues to be the best player on the court in this series. Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to be a bright spot for Milwaukee, but if Khris Middleton doesn't consistenly put up 37 points every game (like he did in Game 6), then the Bucks struggle most nights. Note that the Nets are also 7-1 ATS in their last eight in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which they were held to 90 or less points in. In what will likely be a close game until the final moments, I'm on the Nets on the money line! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-18-21 | 76ers v. Hawks UNDER 221.5 | Top | 104-99 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/76ers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). This has been a competitive series, but one which has been dominated mostly by the Hawks great defensive play. With a chance to close out this series at home, I believe Atlanta will come with its very strongest defensive performance yet to date. Philadelphia is struggling to find scoring and is running its offense through big man Joel Embiid. Half-court sets though tend to lead to lower-scoring affairs. The Hawks have also seen the total go under in eight of their last 11 home games as an underdog in the 2.5 to 5.5 points range. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY | |||||||
06-16-21 | Hawks v. 76ers UNDER 223.5 | Top | 109-106 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/76ers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Not many predicted the Hawks would be competitive in the playoffs, but after steamrolling the Knicks and evening this series back up with an impressive 103-100 win in Game 4, no one can look past Trae Young and company. Young continues to shine offensively, but it's been Atlanta's suffocating defensive play which has been the difference-maker. Philly's high-powered offense is unable to handle the aggressive rotations and if the Hawks have any hopes of pulling of an upset here, they're going to have to do it by duplicating their Game 4 performance. I expect a slower-paced and ultimately lower-scoring under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-15-21 | Bucks v. Nets OVER 218.5 | Top | 108-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Nets OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). I think very surprisingly, all four games to open this series have so far fallen UNDER the posted number. I do now think that trend changes here though. Kyrie Irving won't be playing because of a sprained ankle, but Kevin Durant will be and he still has Blake Griffin and Jeff Green. The Bucks though have to be feeling confident after back-to-back victories and they must be able to smell the blood in the water with their injured opponent. Everything in my opinion points to Game 5 finally flying over the lowest set total so far in this series; the play is indeed the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-14-21 | Jazz +5 v. Clippers | Top | 104-118 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah Jazz (10* TRADE-MARK). Honestly, I think the Jazz have a golden opportunity to win this game outright. But in what should be a much more competitive affair than what we saw in the Clippers 132-106 Game 3 victory, I'm going to grab the points. Utah is a near-perfect 7-1 ATS in its last eight in trying to revenge a 15 points or greater road loss to an opponent as well. The story lines and cast of characters, the strengths and weaknesses of each side are well known, so I'm not going to break down individual player accomplishments or stat lines, as this for me is a great "situational" play, combined with that unreal ATS stat listed above. Grab the points, expect (at least!) a comfortable cover! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-13-21 | Suns v. Nuggets OVER 222 | Top | 125-118 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Nuggets OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). I have to admit, I didn't expect Phoenix to roll to three straight victories over the Nuggets. The Suns have a golden opportunity to end this series here and now and I expect them to keep the foot on the gas here from start to finish. And for the Nuggets, it's hard to imagine this team actually getting swept, despite not having Jamal Murray in the lineup. I think Denver won't go down without a fight. It fought back from consecutive 3-1 deficits in last year's playoffs and it'll be out to try and push this series back to Phoenix. I expect Game 4 to be the fastest-paced, most wide open so far; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-12-21 | Jazz v. Clippers -4.5 | Top | 106-132 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clippers (10* TRADE-MARK). No need to overthink this one in my opinion. Yes, the Jazz have sure looked good over the first two games of this series. In fact, after losing their first game to the Grizzlies, a contest in which star player Donovan Mitchell sat out, they haven't lost a game, winning six in a row. Their second straight win in this series could have come at a cost though, as Mitchell was limping off the court at the end. His health is a major concern here. The Jazz just aren't the same team without Mitchell attacking at 100% capacity. This is the window of opportunity that Kawhi Leonard needs. Combined with the fact that the Clippers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine in trying to revenge back-to-back losses to an opponent, then everything points to a blowout here finally for LA in Game 3; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-11-21 | 76ers v. Hawks +1.5 | Top | 127-111 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Hawks (10* ELILTE OF THE ELITE). The Hawks have been an "against the spread" covering machine since Nate McMillan took over as head coach. Atlanta took out the Knicks in five games and it held on for a win in Game 1 vs. the 76ers, before then finally having a letdown in Game 2. I'm not reading anything at all into that setback though, as the Hawks got done what they needed to to open up this series, and that was to at the very least, earn a tough "split" on the road. Now returning back home, note that the Hawks are 4-0 ATS in their last four against teams with winning road records. The 76ers? They're just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Give me the Hawks at home in this revenge spot and crucial Game 3! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-10-21 | Clippers v. Jazz OVER 221.5 | Top | 111-117 | Win | 100 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clippers/Jazz OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Game 1 went under the number, but I think that Game 2 will go over. The Clippers looked good in the first half, but Utah mounted a big come from behind victory and held off a late rally to win Game 1 by a score of 112-109. LA was likely gassed after its seven game series win over the Mavericks, but now I expect a much more wide-open affair this time around. The Jazz hadn't played in over a week, so their "rust" was a contributing factor to their slow start as well. But now that they've shaken off the rust, I also expect a more consistent and efficient offensive performance in Game 2. When you add it all up, this number is indeed a little low; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-09-21 | Nuggets v. Suns UNDER 222.5 | Top | 98-123 | Win | 100 | 13 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Nuggets UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Denver looked really good over the first two quarters of Game 1, but then the Suns dialled up the pressure in the second half, and the Nuggets lost their focus an intensity. I expect Game 2 to be a much more competitive affair. Denver will be leaning heavily on league MVP Nikola Jokic here, so expect a lot of "half court sets" while Denver is on offense. The Nuggets are a good perimeter defending team and I think they'll make the necessary adjustments to combat Devin Booker and Chris Paul. Denver has also seen the total go under in ten of its last 14 in trying to revenge a road loss of 15 or more points to an opponent; this number is definitely high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-08-21 | Hawks v. 76ers -5.5 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: 76ers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Hawks have been playing unbelievably well, but I think a predictable letdown is finally in order tonight. Atlanta has exceeded expectations to this point. Clearly. The Hawks are now in unchartered territory though and I think that a letdow is for sure invevitable with the knowlege that they'll be returning to friendly confines for two games. The 76ers looked rusty in Game 1, but I don't think there's any reason to push the panic button. Adjustments are the name of the game in the playoffs and the 76ers have the depth and experience to do just that. Also note that they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it allowed 125 or more points in. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-07-21 | Nuggets v. Suns UNDER 220.5 | Top | 105-122 | Loss | -104 | 13 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Suns UNDER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). This is a great situational play in my opinion. Denver is going to be much tougher on Chris Paul and Devin Booker with its perimeter defense. Denver won't want to turn this into a "shootout" either, instead running its offense through big man Nikola Jokic. I think Game 1 of this series will absolutely fall below this number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-06-21 | Hawks v. 76ers UNDER 220.5 | Top | 128-124 | Loss | -104 | 4 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: 76ers/Hawks UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Joel Embiid is out, and that's significant for this Philadelphia team. On both ends of the court. Atlanta rolled over the Knicks in five games though, which is impressive, as New York came into the playoffs with a ton of momentum. Atlanta made it look easy though against a very good Knicks defense. The Hawks though stifled the Knicks defenensively and if they have any hopes of winning this game (and series), they'll have to double-down again on that end. Philly can play either a high-tempo or defensive affair (finished as the No. 3 defense), and without Embiid in the line-up (or playing at less than 100%), I believe Philly also tries to generate its offense, through tough defensive play. The bottom line is, it all adds up to a play on the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-05-21 | Bucks v. Nets OVER 239 | Top | 107-115 | Loss | -101 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nets/Bucks OVER (10* 2ND ROUND TOTAL OF YEAR). If you think either of these teams are going to play any defense in this series, then I have a bridge to sell you over in Brooklyn. Milwaukee was the highest-scoring team in the league, it averaged 120.1 PPG. The Nets were No. 2 in the league, averaging 118.6. And Brooklyn averaged that with its "Big 3" only playing eight games together in the regular season. These teams easily marched through their first round opponents and each comes in fresh and healthy. Expect an up-tempo, high-scoring shootout in Game 1; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-04-21 | Clippers -145 v. Mavs | Top | 104-97 | Win | 100 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clippers MONEY LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). I think Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and company will play their best game so far in this series. On both ends of the court. I think it's very important to note that LA is 7-2 ATS in its last nine when trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it was held to 100 points or less in. This has been a competitive, very even matchup so far and I look for that strong trend to continue here with LA pushing this one to a decisive Game 7. The play is LA on the money line! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-03-21 | Suns v. Lakers -2 | Top | 113-100 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lakers (10* TRADE-MARK). Simply put, I expect the Lakers to lay the hammer down here in this "must win" game. This is LA's biggest game of the entire year and whether Anthony Davis plays or not, I think that King James will get plenty of support tonight from his cast of backups. Both Andre Drummond and Dennis Schroder had terrible games and I don't expect that to happen again. Phoenix has been consistent, but not dominant. I don't think they can put away the champs on their own floor. I'm laying the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-02-21 | Grizzlies +9.5 v. Jazz | Top | 110-126 | Loss | -104 | 13 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). The Grizzlies road back-to-back "play in" victories to a 112-109 win in Game 1 of this series, but then Donovan Mitchell returned to the Jazz lineup and it's been all Utah since. The Jazz have won three straight, but note that the Grizzlies are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after three or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row. Memphis was better on the road for bettors this year, going 23-17 ATS away from friendly confines. Facing elimination, this young Grizzlies team may not battle back and win this game outright, but I do expect a competitive war until the final moments; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-01-21 | Blazers v. Nuggets -1.5 | Top | 140-147 | Win | 100 | 12 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* TRADE-MARK). I'm travelling today gentlemen, so I'm going to have to keep my analysis much more "succinct" than I usually do. This has been a back and forth series. Each team has won on the others court, but I expect Denver to rally here at home. Denver is a near-perfect 7-1 ATS in its last eight in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to under 100 points in. Look for Nikola Jokic to have another big game here at home and lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-30-21 | Knicks +5 v. Hawks | Top | 96-113 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Knicks (10* TRADE-MARK). This has been a tight, back-and-forth series to begin with and I expect that trend to continue here. The Hawks have played better than most would have expected, but a predictable letdown is imminent in my opinion after their 105-94 Game 3 victory. The Knicks has somehow been slowed down by this poor Hawks' defense, and I definitely don't expect that weird trend to continue. New York is also 7-2 ATS in its last nine in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to 95 points or less in; the play is New York! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-29-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers -4.5 | Top | 95-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Portland took Game 1, but Denver has taken the last two games. The Blazers now look to respond, and I believe they'll pull away down the stretch for the comfortable win and cover. Portland has the superior offensive numbers, while Denver has the better defensive numbers. I believe CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard will take over this game for the home side, and stretch this Denver defense, which has granted played well without Jamal Murray in the lineup; lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-28-21 | Knicks v. Hawks OVER 211 | Top | 94-105 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Knicks/Hawks OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Yes, the first two games of this series have gone under, but everything points to more of a shootout in Game 3. The Knicks looked bad again over the first half of Game 2, but Julius Randle finally showed up and New York finally was able to pull away in the second half for a convincing victory. The Knicks have seen the total go over in eight of their last 11 after back-to-back home unders as well. The last thing the Hawks can do is allow New YOrk to control the pace of this one, so expect an all out attack from the opening tip, until the final horn from the home side. Wheh you add it all up, everything points to the over as the correct call in Game 3! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-27-21 | Nuggets v. Blazers OVER 227.5 | Top | 120-115 | Win | 100 | 13 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers/Nuggets OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The first two games of this series have flown over the number and I absolutely expect this trend to continue here. Portland struggled to contain Nikola Jokic in Game 2. The Blazers are back on their home floor though and they'll now look to stretch this Denver defense by jacking up plenty of three-balls. Portland isn't going to win this series with its tough defensive play, instead getting out on transtion on offense is the key to victory for the home side. With each side pushing the tempo, look for this one to fly over before the final buzzer sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-26-21 | Hawks v. Knicks -128 | Top | 92-101 | Win | 100 | 36 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Knicks MONEY LINE (10* GAME OF MONTH). I love the Knicks to bounce back here after their 107-105 loss to Atlanta in Game 1. The Hawks are just too young and inexperienced to lay the hammer down here and take both games. Just look at the Suns last night at home, beating the Lakers easily in Game 1, but then falling flat in Game 2. Knicks' leading scorer Julius Randle had likely the worst game of his career as well, and New York still almost won. Look for the veterans of the Knicks to lead them to a convincing SU/ATS victory here; play on the money line! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-26-21 | Wizards +8.5 v. 76ers | Top | 95-120 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wizards (10* TRADE-MARK). Philadelphia won 125-118 in Game 1, but it was unable to cover the large spread. I think that's going to be the case again here. I'm not calling for an outright victory, but I do absolutely expect the Wizards to throw their "best shot" at the 76ers here so as to avoid the dreaded 0-2 hole. Note as well that the Wiz are 7-2 ATS in their last nine in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent in which they allowed 125 or more points in. No outright as I stated above, but definitely closer than what this spread would suggest; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-24-21 | Blazers v. Nuggets OVER 227 | Top | 109-128 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Blazers OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Was I surprised by Portland's big 123-109 win over the Nuggets? Not entirely, especially with a spread which was almost a "pick em." I was a little surprised though at the Nuggets offensive inconsistency, which I expect to get corrected here. Denver was eighth in the regular season in scoring with 115.1 PPG, while Portland was fifth, averaging 116.1. Don't expect Portland's inconsistent defense to show up like that two games in a row. The Playoffs are all about adjustments from game-to-game. Denver will be out to push the pace and take command of this game before heading back to Portland as well. When you add it all up, this one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-23-21 | Grizzlies +9 v. Jazz | Top | 112-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* TRADE-MARK). Outright win? Very possible! The Grizzlies come in on top form, as they won both their "play in" contests, after losing to Golden State in their regular-season finale. Memphis is a deep team, which I think will help it here in Game 1. Utah earned the No. 1 seed after going 52-20 in the regular season. The big question though is, will rest lead to rust? Note that the Grizzlies are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 as an underdog, while the Jazz are just 3-7 ATS in their last ten at home and only 1-5 ATS in their last six playoff games as a favorite. While I do think the outright upset is possible, in the end let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-22-21 | Mavs v. Clippers OVER 221.5 | Top | 113-103 | Loss | -103 | 79 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavs/Clippers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Its payback time for the Mavericks, who lost 4-2 to the Clippers in the first round last year. It was an even series until Kristaps Porzingis got injured. Dallas won two of three in the regular season series. The Mavericks excelled on the offensive end this year, but struggled defensively. The Clippers are hoping that Paul George can return to form here after a shaky playoff performance last year. The Clippers are a defensive oriented team, filled with veterans, but with the visitors pushing the pace, look for this one to fly well over befor the final horn sounds; the play is indeed the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-20-21 | Pacers v. Wizards OVER 237 | Top | 115-142 | Win | 100 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wizards/Pacers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Indiana managed a massive 144-117 rout of the Hornets in its first play-in game, and if it has any shot at taking this one in the Nation's capital, it'll have to duplicate that performance. The Wizards will be extra motivated here as well after falling 118-100 to Boston. The Wizards are one of the highest-scoring teams in the league though, and there's no reason not to think it won't be able to bounce-back here against a team it won all three-games against in the regular season, scoring 132, 154 and 133 in the process. Also note that the Wiz have seen the total go over in eight of their last 12 after getting held to 100 points or less in a SU/ATS loss in their previous outing. All signs point to a wide-open shootout; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-19-21 | Spurs v. Grizzlies -3.5 | Top | 96-100 | Win | 100 | 35 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies (10* TRADE-MARK). San Antonio allowed 110.7 PPG through the regular season, but it completely fell apart over the final few weeks. Over the last four games of the regular season the Spurs allowed 128, 102, 140 and 123 points. Overall the Spurs average 111.1 PPG. The Grizzlies allowed 110.9 PPG this year, but over theri final five games, all victories, they conceded 113, 106, 110, 104, 110 and 99. The Grizz averaged 113.3 PPG, and they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games when playing with two or more days of rest; lay the short points, expect a major blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-16-21 | Mavs -7 v. Wolves | Top | 121-136 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK). I don't expect the Mavericks to take the foot off the gas here. Dallas has won two in a row and six of seven. Dallas is now a season-high 13 games over the .500 mark. The T-Wolves are going through the motions at this point, as they won't even reach the 25 win plateau. They're coming off back-to-back losses, most recently a 124-108 setback to the Celtics. “It doesn't look like they're locked in to finish the season the way we wanted to," Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said. Despite already being locked into their seed, I look for Dallas' role players to deliver in this spot; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-15-21 | Suns v. Spurs UNDER 223 | Top | 140-103 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Spurs/Suns UNDER (10* TOTAL PLAYBOOK). The Spurs struggled in their last game, falling 102-98 in New York, and I think they'll struggle again here vs. the Suns. Phoenix held on for a 118-117 win over Portland last time out, and everything points to a letdown here (note that the Suns have seen the total go under the number in eight of their last 11 after scoring 115 or more points in their previous outing.) This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-14-21 | Pelicans v. Warriors OVER 229.5 | Top | 122-125 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Pels OVER (10* TOTAL BEST OF BEST). The Pelicans have lost three of four, but I expect them to push the pace of this one in an attempt to try and play spoiler here. When Zion Williamson went down with injury a couple weeks ago, so too did the Pels chances. The Warriors though are pushing hard for a playoff spot and they've won six of their last seven overall. Most recently the beat the Suns at home 122-116, getting 38 points from Andrew Wiggins. Most stars are sitting this one out, so look for the backups to push the pace in a contest which I don't foresee having any defense played whatsoever; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-13-21 | Nuggets -4.5 v. Wolves | Top | 114-103 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* TRADE-MARK). Yes, Minnesota has been playing a lot better of late. That tends to happen to teams which have played poorly all season, and then catch other teams tired or disinerested at the end of the season. Minnesota just hammered the Pistons 119-100 on the road, but the Nuggets aren't going to roll over here, as they're still in a tight race in the West standing with just a couple of games to go. Denver is playing well right now as well, as it's won 11 of its last 14. I say Minnesota is the one due for a letdown here after its rare big road win, while I look for the Nuggets to improve upon their impressive 21-4-1 ATS record here in their last 26 visits to Minnesota; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-12-21 | Wizards v. Hawks OVER 240 | Top | 116-120 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wizards/Hawks OVER (10* EAST-CONF TOTAL OF YEAR). These two teams just played here two nights ago and the Hawks won a high-scoring 125-124 contest. With revenge on its mind, look for Washington to once again push the pace and for the Hawks to match suit. There won't be any defense played here at all, and there's no reason no to think these players can't duplicate their efficiency this time around as well. Finally, note that Washington has seen the total go over the number in seven of its last 11 in trying to revenge a road loss vs. an opponent in which it allowed 125 or more points in; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-11-21 | Mavs -2 v. Grizzlies | Top | 104-133 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK). The Mavericks have won 10 of 12. They've won four in a row, most recently a 124-97 road victory over the Cavaliers. Memphis has won three of four, but Luka Doncic is for sure a matchup issue for the home side. This is a big game/stretch for Dallas, as it sits just one game ahead of Portland in fourth spot in the West, a coveted position heading into the post-season. I look for the red hot Mavs to continue their torrid end of season run; lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-09-21 | Knicks v. Clippers UNDER 216 | Top | 106-100 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clippers/Knicks UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Clippers have seen the total go under in seven straight. Their offense has been good (averaging 114.2 PPG this year, which is 10th), but they've been extremely good defensively of late, holding Toronto to 100 points and the Lakers to just 94 in back-to-back victories. This is a big game for LA as well, as it then hits the road after this for five games to finish off its regular season. This is its final regular season home game. The Knicks are struggling now on this road trip, which isn't completely unexpected considering how well they've been playing overall. New York only averages 107.2 PPG, but it makes up for it on the other end with a Top 5 defense; look for this one to fall well under the posted number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-08-21 | Nets v. Nuggets +4 | Top | 125-119 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* TRADE-MARK). Off a 127-120 loss in Utah last night, the red hot Nuggets got caught looking ahead to this game vs. the Nets. We're getting great value on the now focussed home side, who I believe will be ready and that fatigue won't be an issue at all. Brooklyn has been playing terribly of late, as it's lost FOUR in a row. With two whole nights off after this before a game at Chicago, this also sets up as a letdown spot for the visiting side. This is Denver's final home game of the season, as it concludes with four straight on the road. I say the Nuggets come to play tonight and find a way to deliver; that said, grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-07-21 | Magic v. Hornets OVER 215.5 | Top | 112-122 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hornets/Magic OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Hornets are desperate for a win here, especially after last night's 120-99 loss to Chicago at home. The Hornets have struggled with offensive consistency over their last two games, but I beliee it'll return to form here vs. the horrendous Magic, who are simply playing out the tail end of their season. Orlando's players are trying to prove themselves though and with Charlotte also out to push the pace, it all sets up beautifully from a situational stand-point as a higer-scoring over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-06-21 | Thunder v. Warriors OVER 227 | Top | 97-118 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Thunder OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Warriors will look to do what they do best, and that's push the pace and spread the floor and shoot a lot of three balls against this struggling Thunder side that's simply going through the motions at this point as it plays out the end of the seaons. OKC comes in on a four-game losing streak. The Warriors are out to bounce back off a 108-103 road loss to New Orleans, two nights after destroying the Pels in their own building. Golden State can't afford to take the foot off the gas as it sits in the eighth spot. Finally note that Golden State has seen the total go over the number in eight of its last 11 off a SU/ATS road loss in which it was held to 105 points or less in. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-05-21 | Kings v. Pacers -5.5 | Top | 104-93 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pacers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Pacers are in need of a win here. After smashing OKC 152-95, it then lost 154-141 in the nation's capital two nights later. The Pacers play with revenge here as well after falling 127-122 in Sacramento in January. And with a game in ATL tomorrow night, tonight's game takes on added importance for the home side. And after three straight victories, the overachieving Kings are primed for a classic "letdown" on the road here; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-04-21 | Warriors +1.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 103-108 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). Golden State is currently in eighth spot, only 3.5 games out of sixth. The Pels are 2.5 games behind the No. 10 play in spot in the Western Conference. The Warriors just beat the Pels 123-108 on Monday, fueled by 41 points from Stephen Curry. Frankly, I see a repeat performance tonight. Over their last ten games the Warriors are averaging 114.2 PPG. The Pels are now just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games, while the Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last six in an underdog role. Expect Golden State to lay the hammer down again tonight! T.M. Prediction: POSTED SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-03-21 | Nuggets v. Lakers UNDER 219 | Top | 89-93 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Lakers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Lakers are 0-2 since LBJ has returned. Fatigue will be a major factor here as well for the King and company after falling 121-114 at home to the Raptors just last night. The Nuggets are off a 110-104 road victory over the Clippers, and I expect them to shut down the struggling Lakers here as well. Both teams will be running their offenses through their big men, and that means a lot of "half court sets" while they're on offense. The Lakers are struggling with offensive consistency right now and I believe that trend continues here vs. this hungry visiting side; this number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-02-21 | Suns v. Thunder +13.5 | Top | 123-120 | Win | 100 | 26 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: OKC (10* TRADE-MARK). The Thunder got throttled by the Pacers 152-95 last night. OKC threw in the white flag early in that one, so fatigue isn't going to be an issue. But after that embarrassing effort, I believe we'll see a much better effort from the home side tonight. Clearly, the Suns are the better team in this matchup. In fact, if going by their win/loss record, they're the best team in the NBA. However, I think the visiting side is going to classically get caught looking past its lowly opponent here. The SUns are off a highly satisfying 121-100 win over the Jazz. Phoenix has hit a "vanilla" part of its final schedule here, with this game at Oakland, followed by games at Cleveland and Atlanta. This one sets up as a letdown spot for the visitors, who could very well rest several starters; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-01-21 | Grizzlies v. Magic UNDER 222.5 | Top | 111-112 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Magic/Grizz UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). No need for the 31-30 Memphis Grizzlies to "run up" this score. Instead they'll be out to control the tempo of this one, similar to last night's commanding 92-75 home win over these very Magic just last night. What's going to change here? The Magic are in full on rebuild mode and after only mustering 75 points last night, fatigue is a major factor here for the home side in the second game of the back-to-back scenario. I expect a similar final combined score here in Orlando as well; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-30-21 | Kings v. Lakers -9.5 | Top | 110-106 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 12 m | Show |
TT.M. Selection: Lakers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Lakers have lost five straight ATS. Four of those have come on the road, as LA finally returns home. AD has had a couple games under his belt now and The King is about to return as well. With a chance to bounce back after a 116-107 loss at Washington, I expect the Lakers to bring their "A" game tonight. Sacramento is injured and it's simply playing out the rest of its season. The Kings most recently got destroyed 154-105 at home to the Jazz. Look for the Lakers to take advantage and to keep the foot on the gas from stat to finish; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-29-21 | Pelicans v. Thunder UNDER 229 | Top | 109-95 | Win | 100 | 12 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pels/OKC UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). New Orleans is off a 114-112 loss at Denver just last night and I think it'll struggle with fatigue in the second game of the back to back. The regular season is fast approaching and these teams are tired. No need to run up the score here on the Thunder either, who have been consistently inconsistent all year and who are primed for a letdown after a rare 119-115 road win at Boston, scoring 41 points in the fourth quarter. OKC only averages 105.5 PPG this year, so expect a return to the norm. A great situational play on the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-28-21 | Spurs v. Heat -5 | Top | 111-116 | Push | 0 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat (10* TRADE-MARK). No need to overthink this one. Both teams are fighting for a playoff spot, but after two straight losses, including a listless 110-102 setback to the Bulls at home in their last outing, this one means a whole lot more to the home side Heat. The Spurs have been playing great, as they've won five of their last six, but after a huge 146-143 OT win in the Nation's capital to break the Wizards eight-game win streak, this sets up as a natural letdown spot for the visiting side for sure. Look for the home side to step up and deliver; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-27-21 | Bucks -9 v. Hornets | Top | 114-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I expect the Bucks to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish in this one, and to then easily hold on to their big lead late. Overall Milwaukee is averaging 119.3 PPG, while conceding 112.9. The Hornets have lost six of nine. They score 109.9 PPG, while allowing 111.1. The Bucks have shot 49 percent from the floor over their last four games and after going 0-4 ATS the last four in this series, I don't expect them to take anything for granted here; I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-26-21 | Clippers v. Pelicans OVER 227.5 | Top | 103-120 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clippers/Pelicans OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). If New Orleans is going to win this game, it's not going to be because of its great defensive play. Instead, the Pels are going to have to outshoot, outrun and outhustle their superior visiting opponent. Both teams can score, as LA averages 114.9 PPG, while New Orleans averages 115. New Orleans is still in the playoff hunt, it plays with revenge and it'll be pushing the pace from the opening tip, until the final horn. I'm banking on this one flying over the number sooner, rather than later. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-25-21 | Grizzlies v. Blazers -4 | Top | 120-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Memphis enters off a tight 130-128 win here two nights ago. So how does that old saying go again, revenge is a dish best served cold? I think the revenge angel works for sure here. These teams' offensive and defensive numbers are similar, but this sets up fantastically from a situational for Portland, as it's a near-perfect 7-1 ATS in its last eight in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent in which it conceded 125 or more points in. Lay the short points, but expect a decisive bounce-back revenge victory for the home side here! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-23-21 | Grizzlies v. Blazers OVER 232.5 | Top | 130-128 | Win | 100 | 14 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies/Blazers OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Both teams are super hungry for a win here and I expect that to translate into offensive production. The Grizz have won seven of their last 12, but after B2B setbacks, clearly they'll be motivated to get back to their winning ways here. The Grizzlies used to be known for their tough defensive play, but that's not the case anymore. The Blazers have lost four in a row and it'll be "all hands on deck" tonight as they look to break that slide. From a situational stand point, all signs point this one flying well over (also note, Portland has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 after three or more straight losses in a row); the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-22-21 | Pelicans -7.5 v. Magic | Top | 135-100 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pelicans (10* TRADE-MARK). The Pelicans have lost four in a row, but it hasn't been from a lack of trying. They've just come up across some stiff competition. New Orleans has had big leads in each of its last two games, only to then falter late and let them slip away. Fortunately now they face the putrid Magic, who failed to score 100 points in a loss to Hawks on Tuesday. I expect New Orleans to go up early again here, but this time I look for it to keep the foot on the gas and I simply can't see this offensively challenged Magic side keeping pace down the stretch; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-21-21 | Warriors -2 v. Wizards | Top | 114-118 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* TRADE-MARK). Golden State is still pushing for a playoff spot at 29-29 and I expect it to make the most of this favorable matchup. The Warriors come in with pelnty of momentum as well after an 11-point win over the 76ers. Washington comes in off a highly satisfying road win at Oklahoma City. Golden State though has won five of its last six and Stephen Curry has scored 30 or more points in ten straight games. Washington has two really good players, but it's depth is a huge question mark after that. The Wizards have won five in a row, but regression is imminent here vs. this hot-shooting Warriors side; lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-20-21 | Magic +12.5 v. Hawks | Top | 96-112 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Magic (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the Magic to sneak in under the radar here after losing eight of their last nine games. Orlando is obviously a poor team that's going through a rebuilding year, but I think the Hawks are going to get caught "looking past" their opponent today to their much more high-profile contest in New York vs. the red hot Knicks tomorrow night. These teams played on March 3rd, and the Hawks won 115-112 as 3-point favorites. Expect another tight game here and grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-19-21 | Warriors +9.5 v. 76ers | Top | 107-96 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors (10* TRADE-MARK). Golden State played with a lead almost the entire game at the Celtics two nights ago, but the Warriors couldn't hold on late, and eventually lost both straight up and against the spread. Previosu to that they'd won four in a row. They play with revenge here as well though after falling 108-98 to the 76ers at home on March 23rd. Philly's off a satisfying 106-103 win over the Clippers, and with Phoenix coming to town next, followed by two straight in Milwaukee, this absolutely sets up as a trap/look-ahead spot for the home side as well. Expect this one to come right down to the wire! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-18-21 | Rockets v. Magic UNDER 219 | Top | 114-110 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Magic/Rockets UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Neither team can defend, but each struggles with offensive consistency as well. Neither has anything to play for here. This is a non-conference matchup as well. A great situational under play here for sure. The Magic lost to the Rockets on Friday. Houston is fresh off a 29-point loss to Denver. Look for these deflated teams to go through the motions and for this total to fall well under once the final horn sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-17-21 | Grizzlies v. Bucks OVER 236.5 | Top | 128-115 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Grizzlies OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Memphis is pushing hard towards a playoff spot. It can't afford to take the foot off the gas. It comes in off a 126-115 road win at Chicago. Memphis averages 112.9 PPG, and it'll have to push the pace here for sure to match pace with a Bucks team looking for its fourth straight win and which averages 119.2 PPG. Fortunately for Memphis, the Bucks' defense isn't what it used to be, as it enters conceding 112.6 PPG this year. Memphis has conceded at least 112 points over its last three games. Everything points to this one flying over this posted number sooner, rather than later. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-16-21 | Blazers -1.5 v. Spurs | Top | 107-106 | Loss | -118 | 11 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Portland's coming off a tight 116-115 home loss to Boston. After back-to-back losses, I like the Blazers to come out firing here and to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable cover. Note that Portland is 7-2 ATS in it slast nine after back-to-back SU/ATS losses. The Blazers play with the added incentive of revenge here as well after falling 125-104 to the Spurs back on January 18th. San Antonio is off a 117-112 loss at Toronto and with a tough game at Phoenix tomorrow night, everything points to a letdown here in my opinion. I'm layin the short points, but expecting a decisive victory! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-15-21 | Celtics -6 v. Lakers | Top | 121-113 | Win | 100 | 13 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Celtics (10* TRADE-MARK). This is always a big rivalry game. The Celtics have won six of their last eight and four in a row and I think they'll keep that momentum rolling here. Most recently the beat the Blazers 116-115 on Tuesday, led by 32 points from Jayson Tatum. LA has won six of ten, but without its bonafide superstars in the line-up, I think it'll struggle here to contain this determined Boston side looking to end its road trip with a big nationally televised victory. The Lakers are just 1-4 ATS in their last five at home, so lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-14-21 | Mavs v. Grizzlies OVER 224.5 | Top | 114-113 | Win | 100 | 13 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavs/Grizzlies OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The 29-24 Dallas Mavericks and the 27-25 Memphis Grizzlies get ready to battle here. These teams are neck and neck in the divisoin and each is hungry for a win here. Dallas has won six of its last nine, but it's lost two in a row and will be desperate to break this slide after getting routed by the 76ers last time out. It's a great overall situational polay, as the Grizz also play with revenge here. Two highly motivated sides pushing the pace from start to finish = OVER. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORLTY. | |||||||
04-13-21 | Heat v. Suns -3 | Top | 86-106 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* TRADE-MARK). After winning six of their last seven, I believe the Heat are going to come up short here in this difficult road venue. Miami enters off a highly-satisfying 107-98 road win at Portland and everything points to a letdown here in my opinion with a tough game to look ahead to in Denver tomorrow night. Note that Phoenix has been trading against the spread wins/losses over its last ten games. Off a 126-120 outright win over the Rockets, unable to cover the large spread, expect this incredibly strong pattern to continue here. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-12-21 | Rockets v. Suns UNDER 228 | Top | 120-126 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockets/Suns UNDER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). Houston comes in off a 125-109 loss to Golden State, while the Suns beat Washington 134-106. Phoenix has taken the first two games of this season series and while it's likely to win this one outright again as well, I think everything points to more of a defensive affair. The Rockets have some good players to work with for next season, but consistency from game-to-game is a major issue. Phoenix is out to catch Utah still, but note that the Suns have seen the total go under in seven of their last ten home games after scoring 130 or more points in a SU/ATS victory in their last outing. This number his high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-11-21 | Spurs v. Mavs -6 | Top | 119-117 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK). These teams are moving in opposite directions and I expect those trends to carry here. The Spurs are floundering now, as they've lost five straight. That includes a soul-crushing 121-119 loss to the Nuggets on Friday. The Mavericks are moving the opposite way, as they've now moved into seventh in the competitive West standings. The Mavericks wer eonly 18-16 going into the All Star Break, but they come into this one as 29-22 after a 116-111 home win over the Bucks most recently. The Spurs are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven vs. teams with winning records, while Dallas is 7-2 ATS in its last nine at home; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-10-21 | Kings v. Jazz OVER 230.5 | Top | 112-128 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kings/Jazz OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Kings are rolling right now, having won seven of their last 13. That said, they'll be eager here to stop a five-game slide. Most recently it was a lacklustre 113-101 home loss to the lowly Pistons. Saramento will have to be sharp here to keep up with the Jazz, who have won ten of their last 12 games, most recently crushing the Blazers 122-103. Sacramento has to be the aggressor here to get back to its winning ways. This one doesn't at all feel like much defense will be played. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-09-21 | Spurs +7.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 119-121 | Win | 100 | 13 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Spurs (10* TRADE-MARK). The Spurs are still in the playoff hunt. San Antonio is looking to avenge a 106-96 loss here just two nights ago (note, the Spurs are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent in which they were held to 99 or less points in.) Denver's been great since the Aaron Gordon trade, but note that the Nuggets are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight after holding their previous opponent to 99 or less points in a SU/ATS victory. I expect things to be much more competitive this time around; so grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-08-21 | Blazers +7 v. Jazz | Top | 103-122 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Blazers played two nights ago and lost 133-116 at the Clippers. Portland plays with revenge here after falling 120-100 to the Jazz on December 23rd. Utah is off a crushing 117-113 OT loss in Phoenix just last night and I simply can't see the Jazz mustering up energy to handle this tough Blazers team, out for revenge and off a loss. The outright is for sure possible, as this situation sets up fantastically for the visiting side. That said, let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-06-21 | Blazers +5.5 v. Clippers | Top | 116-133 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Both teams come in on fire. The Blazers have won five of their last six, most recently crushing the Thunder at home. CJ McCollum has added a new dimension since his return and the addition of Norman Powell has opened things up even more for Damian Lillard. The Clippers ahve been playign well also, but after their 104-86 home win over the Laekrs on Sunday, I expect a letdown here. Note that the Clippers are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine after holding their previous opponent to under 90 points in a SU/ATS victory. While the outright is possible, grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-05-21 | Baylor v. Gonzaga OVER 159 | Top | 86-70 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Baylor/Zags OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). This total is definitely low in my opinion. Defense is going to be an afterthought in the Championship Game, as each team tries its best to assert itself. The Bears are at their best when their shooting the three-ball, as they enter as tops in that department in the nation. Gonzaga is the most efficient two-ball shooting team and it's also the highest-scoring team in the nation. Each team is good defensively as well, but note that Gonzaga has seen the total go over in eight of its last ten after scoring 90 or more points in an OT victory in its last outing; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-05-21 | Cavs v. Spurs UNDER 215.5 | Top | 125-101 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Spurs/Cavs UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Both teams struggle scoring. Both teams are in need of a win. Both teams rely on their defense to win games. The Spurs are off back-to-back OT losses and not only will they be "gassed" here, but they've also seen the total go under in ten of their last 14 after back-to-back OT losses in which the totals both flew over the number. The Cavaliers only average 102.7 PPG, and they're better at home than on the road; everything points to this one falling well under the number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-04-21 | Lakers v. Clippers UNDER 214.5 | Top | 86-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lakers/Clippers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Clippers don't need to turn this into a "track meet" to win. Both teams come in hot, but the defending champs are still playing without their two best players in LBJ and AD and because of all of these situational factors, I'm definitely expecting more of a defensive battle here. What more can I say about these two teams which hasn't been said a million times before. Each is good on both ends of the court, and when healthy, it wouldn't be difficult to write a convincing argument for either team to win the Championship this year. The Lakers though have seen the total go under the number in eight of their last 11 as double-digit road dogs and without their stars in the line-up here, I have hard time seeing them eclipsing this evening. When you add it all up, this number is indeed a tad high; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-03-21 | Thunder v. Blazers UNDER 227.5 | Top | 85-133 | Win | 100 | 14 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The last thing the slumping Thunder can do is turn this into a "track meet" with the high-flying Blazers and expect to hang with them and pull off the upset. OKC has lost four of its last five, most recently a huge 140-103 road loss in Phoenix just last night. With the Hunder doubling down on the defensive end, while also coming in "gassed," fro a situational stand point this one definitely sets up as more of a defensive affair. The Blazers have won seven of ten, but after a 127-109 loss at home to the Bucks, Portland will be looking to shore things up on the defensive end as well. All signs point to this one falling under once the final buzzer blares! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-03-21 | Houston v. Baylor UNDER 135 | Top | 59-78 | Loss | -108 | 80 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston/Baylor UNDER (10* TOTAL BEST OF BEST). Both teams are great on the defensive end. Baylor is one of the most efficient three-ball shooting teams in the nation, but the Bears are also No. 28 in adjusted defensive efficiency (they also force the third most turnovers in the country.) Houston is even stronger on the defensive end, as it ranks No. 1 in the country in defensive field goal percentage. Houston is also one of the slowest teams in the nation as far as pace is concerned, ranked No. 331 in average possession length. The stage is set for a highly competitive, but ultimately lower-scoring under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
04-02-21 | Bucks v. Blazers +3.5 | Top | 127-109 | Loss | -113 | 13 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). The first thing that jumps out to me here, is that despite Milwaukee's 30-17 record, which is third best in the East and by far the best in the Central, with Indiana the next closest at 21-25, is that it has in fact definitely struggled in covering the number. It does come off a win and cover over the Lakers last time out, but now the Bucks face a red hot Portland team which plays with revenge after getting spanked by the Milwaukee 134-106 back on February 1st. But since the All Star break the Blazers have played a lot better, as they posted a really shaky first half. But Portland does definitely come in on top form as I mentioned, as it returns home after sweeping its four game Eastern road swing Chelsa, posting 125, 112, 122 and 124 points in the process. Returning home after a successful road trip can go one of two ways. Either a team comes back complacent and is super happy to be sleeping in their own beds and they fall flat in the first contest back, or they come in ultra-motivated and it's actually beneficial to them. And I think the latter is going to be the case here , as the big time blowout revenge factor makes the Blazers come in completely focused on trying to avenge that humbling setback. One final note here, the Bucks have a much more "WINNABLE" game tomorrow night in Sacramento, so they could definitely be caught "LOOKING AHEAD" here as well; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY | |||||||
04-01-21 | 76ers -9 v. Cavs | Top | 114-94 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philly (10* TRADE-MARK). No upsets here, as I look for the 76ers to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable cover and victory. Philly averages 114.3 PPG, while conceding just 109.4. The Cavs have lost nine of their last 12. Cleveland averages only 102.9 PPG, while allowing 111.1. The Cavs have lost their last five games by an average of 12 points and their offense just can't be trusted here. This game means a lot to Philly as the end of the season looms. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-31-21 | Blazers -6.5 v. Pistons | Top | 124-101 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK). Detroit comes in off a 129-105 win over the Raptors and I think it'll struggle to duplicate that effort here vs. the red hot Blazers, who look for their sixth-straight win on the road. Portland most recently defeated Toronto as well 122-117. Detroit's only won back-to-back games twice all year. The Pistons are also just 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a SU victory, while th the Blazers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 after coming off a SU/ATS road victory in which they scored 120 or more points in. Look for Lillard, McCollum and Powell to overwhelm this poor Detroit defense; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-30-21 | 76ers v. Nuggets UNDER 221.5 | Top | 95-104 | Win | 100 | 12 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/76ers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Philadelphia's four-game win streak came to an end last time out, as the 76ers lost at the Clippers. Philly's been hot overall though and still enters having gone 4-1-1 ATS in its last six games. Denver enters having won two straight, most recently over the Hawks. Harris, Embiid and Simmons all sat that game out though, so we can expect a much more competitive affair here. I look for Denver to try and lock down Philly whenver possible though. Finally note that the under id 3-1 the last four meetings between these teams; this number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-30-21 | USC v. Gonzaga OVER 153 | Top | 66-85 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: USC/Gonzaga OVER (9* TOTAL BEST OF THE BEST). USC and Gonzaga have both covered all three of their games. The Trojans have been amazingly defensively of late, but now they face the Nation's No. 1 offense, which averages over 90 PPG. The Trojans are going to have their hands full with this up-tempo, efficient Bulldogs offense. USC put up 41 points in each half in its win over Oregon, and there's no reason not to think that it can't keep the foot on the gas here offensively either. I expect a faster-paced, higher-scoring shoot-out; this number is a tad low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-29-21 | Oregon State v. Houston UNDER 129 | Top | 61-67 | Win | 100 | 11 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston/Oregon State UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Oregon State is on fire, especially on the defensive end. The Beavers enter off an impressive 65-58 defeat of Loyola Chicago in their last game. Houston clobbered Syracuse 62-46. The reason these two teams are where they are right now? Incredible defensive play, that never gives up and presses from start to finish. Don't expect anything to change here. This number is definitely much too high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-29-21 | Pacers v. Wizards +4.5 | Top | 124-132 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wizards (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Pacers are primed for a letdown here in my opinion after winning of their last five. Overall Indiana averages 113 PPG, while allowing 112.8. With a much tougher game at home vs. Miami on Wednesday, all signs point to Indiana having a letdown here after smashing Dallas on the road 109-94 in its last one. Here's a great spot for a hungry Washington team to not only pick up a cover, but also a solid victory. With Charlotte in town tomorrow night, the Wizards lay everything on the line here and catch the Pacers napping; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-28-21 | Oregon +2.5 v. USC | Top | 68-82 | Loss | -109 | 106 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oregon (10* SWEET 16 GAME OF THE YEAR). Clearly these two teams are evenly matched. The Ducks have won 12 of 13, their only loss comig to these very Trojans in that span. Oregon recovered and went on to win the PAC 12 championship and it's coming off an impressive 95-80 upset win over Illinois last time out. The Ducks' offense is firing on all cylinders and they're playing better perimeter defense as well. Overall the Ducks are hitting 38.2 percent from 3-point land, which ranks 15th in the natoin. Look for the revenge factor to be the difference-maker in this one; however, let's grab the points for sure! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-28-21 | Suns -6.5 v. Hornets | Top | 101-97 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* TRADE-MAKR). The Suns are coming off a tight 104-100 win at Toronto. Charlotte enters having won three in a row, most recently a 110-105 victory over Miami. The Hornets have been overperforming without LaMelo Ball in the lineup and I expect regression finally here. The Hornets are in fact 0-5-1 ATS in their last six vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600, while the Suns are 8-1 ATS in their last nine as a road favorite; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-27-21 | Rockets v. Wolves OVER 227 | Top | 129-107 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockets/Wolves OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Two teams with nothing to lose (except another game!) go head-to-head here on Saturday night and in my opinion, defense is going to go "out the window." Both teams are struggling on both ends of the court, but each will view this as a rare opportunity to finally earn an elusive victory. With each side pushing the pace from the opening tip, all signs point to this one flying well over before the final horn sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-27-21 | Oral Roberts +11.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 70-72 | Win | 100 | 79 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oral Roberts (10* TRADE-MARK). Oral Roberts continues to get little respect. The Golden Eagles are coming off an impressive 81-78 win over Florida to advance. Arkansas on the other hand had to fight tooth and nail to get by Texas Tech 68-66. I think that the Razorback are gassed here. Oral Roberts has momentum and it also plays with revenge after an 87-76 loss to Arkansas back on December 20th. Oral Roberts' defense has been its weak point, but it's been significantly better over the last month and I expect this one to coe right down to the wire. While the outright is possible, in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-26-21 | Suns v. Raptors UNDER 224 | Top | 104-100 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Raps/Suns UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Phoenix enters off a 112-111 loss at Orlando, while the Raptors smoked the Nuggets 135-111 in their last outing. Toronto is now only 2.5 games out of a playoff spot. The victory also snapped a nine-game losing streak. Phoenix's three-game win streak was snapped last time out. The Suns now sit three games back of the top spot in the West. The Raptors lost Norman Powell at the trade deadline, so their offense takes a hit in the short-term. Look for these two hungry teams to battle hard and expect this total to fall below once the final horn blares! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-25-21 | 76ers -4.5 v. Lakers | Top | 109-101 | Win | 100 | 15 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: 76ers (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the 76ers to keep the foot on the gas here as they come to LA having won nine of their last ten. The Lakers are still without a few key players, so this is a game that the 76ers will want to take advantage of for sure. Most recently Philly crushed the Warriors 108-98 on the road. The Lakers enter having lost three in a row and without LBJ or Davis, I can't see the backups competiting for long for the home side today. The 76ers are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight vs. teams with winning records and I look for that strong trend to continue here! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-24-21 | Clippers v. Spurs +6 | Top | 134-101 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Spurs (10* TRADE-MARK). The Clippers have won three of their last four after getting the better of the Hawks 119-110 in their most recent matchup at home. San Antonio has split its last six games, but after two straight losses, it's time to hit the panic button in San Antonio. LA though has been terrible in this spot for bettors, going just 1-5 ATS in its last six on the road and only 1-6 ATS in their last seven following a SU win. The Spurs on the other hand have excelled in this spot by going 19-9 ATS in their last 28 as an underdog. The outright is possible, but grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-23-21 | Nuggets v. Magic UNDER 217.5 | Top | 110-99 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Magic UNDER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). Denver comes in off a 113-108 loss at home to the Pelicans. Now they hit the road for a three-game swing, which sees them at Toronto tomorrow, followed by the re-match at New Orleans two nights after that. The Magic beat the Nets 121-113, before then falling 112-96 at Boston two nights later. It's interesting to note that Orlando has seen the total go under the number in eight of its last 11 after a SU/ATS road loss in which it scored 100 or less points in. I think Denver comes out flat and I look for the Magic to double down on the defensive end as they try to earn a rare victory; this number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-22-21 | Hawks v. Clippers -6 | Top | 110-119 | Win | 100 | 13 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: CLIPPERS (10* TRADE-MARK). After eight straight wins, including a road victory over the Lakers here in this building in their last, I expect the Hawks to stumble finally. The Clippers crushed the Hornets by 27 points here on Saturday and I look for them to carry that momentum over here. LA is 3-1 the last four in this series at home. Finally take note that LA is 7-1 ATS in its last eight after a SU/ATS victory of 25 or more points. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-21-21 | Bulls -3 v. Pistons | Top | 100-86 | Win | 100 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bulls (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the Bulls to find a way to get the job done here. Chicago has lost four of its last six and two in a row. It hasn't been for a lack of tring, as Chicago is off a tight 131-127 OT road loss in Denver on Friday. Detroit's lost seven of its last ten and I think it's ripe for the picking here. The Pistons have won two in a row, most recently a 113-100 road victory at Houston. Huge letdown spot here for sure for the home side, while Chicago can't be happy after coming up just short in Denver. The play is Chicago! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-20-21 | Grand Canyon v. Iowa -14.5 | Top | 74-86 | Loss | -103 | 29 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I think Luka Garza and the Hawkeyes are going to lay the hammer down here on the Grand Canyon Antelopes. Grand Canyon earned the 15th seed by winning the WAC vs. New Mexico State last weekend. Iowa earned the No. 2 seed after falling to Illinois in the Big Ten Semifinals. Both teams are sharp defensively, as the Antelopes allow just 61.1 PPG, while the Hawkeyes allow 71.9. Iowa though is 7-0-1 ATS in its last eight as a neutral site favorite, and I simply can't see Grand Canyon's sub-par offense keeping pace with the high-flying Hawkeyes. This one has "BLOWOUT" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-19-21 | Mavs v. Blazers OVER 233 | Top | 119-125 | Win | 100 | 14 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavs/Blazers OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). These two teams are hungry for a win. They're very similar as well, in that each likes to get out and push the pace and defense is normally an afterthought. This one definitely has all the makings of a wide-open shootout in my opinion. Portland averages 115.1 PPG, while the Mavericks average 111.4. With the pace of play expected to be extremely high from start to finish, look for this total to go over by mid-way through the fourth quarter! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-19-21 | Morehead State v. West Virginia -13 | Top | 67-84 | Win | 100 | 30 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: WVU (10* OPENING ROUND GAME OF YEAR). Morehead State has won seven in a row and advanced here by beating Belmont in the OVC Tournament Championship game. The Eagles aren't a high-scoring team, but they make up for it on the defensive end by conceding just 63.4 PPG. The Eagles played two ranked teams this year and were annihilated by each, falling 81-45 to Kentucky and 77-44 to Ohio State. WVU has a big chance here to turnaround a poor ending to the regular season. WVU has four players averaging in double figures and I can't see the Eagles keeping pace in the second-half. Note as well that the Mountaineers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite, while Morehead State is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine neutral site contests as an underdog. Look for the hungry Mountaineers to press from start to finish and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-18-21 | UCLA v. Michigan State UNDER 135 | Top | 86-80 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCLA/MSU UNDER (10* TOTAL BEST OF BEST). UCLA enters off an 83-79 OT loss to Oregon State in the conference tournament. The Bruins were 17-9 overall, and they come in desperate to break a four-game slide and prolong their run in The Big Dance. The Bruins average 72.8 PPG, while allowing only 68.5. Michigan State got crushed by Maryland in the first round of the Big Ten tournament by a score of 68-57. MSU averages 69 PPG, while conceding 70.6. When MSU pulled off a couple big upsets this year, it was because of its tough defensive play. UCLA is a deliberate offense and I think all of these factors will add up to an under once the final whistle blows! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-18-21 | Pelicans v. Blazers OVER 240 | Top | 93-101 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pels/Blazers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). These two teams just played to a high-scoring over here two nights ago in the Blazers slim 125-124 vicotry. Brandon Ingram had 30 points for the Ples, while Damian Lillard poured in 50 for the Blazers. I expect a repeat performance here for sure. These teams have played to four straight over in the series and all signs point to this trend continuing for sure, especially with Blazers' star guard CJ McCollum expected back in the line-up tonight. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-17-21 | Heat v. Grizzlies UNDER 221 | Top | 85-89 | Win | 100 | 13 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat/Grizzlies UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Grizzlies are going to be hungry to break a three-game slide and I expect them to double down on the defensive end of the court here because of it. Miami has won five in a row, as it's allowed just 96.2 PPG over that stretch. Miami is locked in and focussed in the second half after a slow opening to the season and I don't expect it to change its approach tonight. This Memphis D is terrible, but the Grizzlies are downright desperate here. Expect a hard-fought, but lower-scoring under in this one! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-16-21 | Pelicans v. Blazers -1.5 | Top | 124-125 | Loss | -112 | 14 h 47 m | Show |
. T.M. Selection: Blazers (10*). The Blazers opened with a win and cover at Minnesota after the break, but they enter off a 114-112 loss there two nights ago. Portland's lost four straight ATS, but I expect that slide to end here vs. a New Orleans team that plays better at home than on the road. The Pels have won two straight at home, including a satisfying upset victory over the Clippers in their most recent, but note that they're just 2-6 ATS in their last eight after scoring 135 or more points in a SU/ATS victory in their last outing. I'm laying the short points, but expecting a major blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-15-21 | Grizzlies v. Suns OVER 228 | Top | 99-122 | Loss | -106 | 14 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies/Suns OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Here's a great situational play, as I look for each team to open up the play book after suffering a loss in its last outing. Memphis has in fact lost three of its last four, and it's now fallen back under .500. The Grizz come off a high-scoring 128-122 loss to the Thunder: “We give them a lot of credit, I thought the Thunder played great today,” Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said. “We couldn’t get in a rhythm, I felt, offensively. We put them on the free-throw line too much. They got hot, you gotta give them credit.” The Suns lost to a desperate Pacers team at home last time out. Phoenix is 12-7 at home and 13-5 on the road. As stated off the top though, after each team lost last time out, we can expect both to push the pace from start to finish. All signs point to this one going over the number. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-14-21 | Celtics v. Rockets +11 | Top | 134-107 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockets (10* SITUATIONAL SHOCKER). Outright victory? Probably not. But just like the Jazz giving up 19 points in Houston's latest road loss, this is just too many points to be giving up here as well for the C's. Boston lost by 12 in Brooklyn in its last outing. Houston's lost 15 straight, so we know it'll be out to break that slide here at home. Houston could get Wood back today too, so that's huge. Boston is also a terrible 0-4 ATS in its last four as a road favorite, and 0-7 ATS on the road in its last seven overall. House Jr. and John Wall are also expected to play for the Rockets. I think an outright upset is in the cards, but in the end let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-14-21 | Ohio State v. Illinois -6 | Top | 88-91 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Illinois (10* BIG TEN TOURNEY GAME OF YEAR.) It's all come down to this. These two teams have been great, but Illinois is the better team on both ends of the court and I expect it's offense to be just too much for Ohio State to keep up with down the stretch. Ohio State upset Michigan to advance, and I think it'll be gassed here. The Buckeyes average 77 PPG, and they concede 70.3. The Fighting Illini average 81 PPG, while conceding just 68.6. Illinois is 5-0 ATS In its last five vs. teams with a record above .600 and 7-3 ATS in its last ten as a favorite, while Ohio State is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven overall. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-13-21 | Georgia Tech v. Florida State -4 | Top | 80-75 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Florida State (10* BEST OF BEST). Both teams have been playing reall well to reach this point. Georgia Tech beat Miami to advance (and got an unexpected bye), while FSU took out UNC by three points in its most recent matchup. The Seminoles rank tenth in the entire country in adjusted offensive efficiency and I just can't see the Yellow Jackets keeping pace. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
