12-07-21 | Michigan v. Nebraska UNDER 141.5 | Top | 102-67 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan/Nebraska UNDER. I am on the under in the Michigan vs Nebraska game on Tuesday. Michigan started the year as a ranked team but they have come a long way since then with 3 losses just 8 games in they have already been stripped of their rank this year and are not the team people though them to be. Their defense has looked good lately and they have kept the opposing team to less than 60 points in 2 of their previous 3 games. Their offense has decreased a lot since the beginning of the year though and they aren't scoring as much as they were. They have only put up 70+ points in 1 game of their previous 4. Michigan has also played just 1 road game this year and they were terrible in that game only putting up 51 points. Nebraska has been playing in some high scoring games this year but now that conference play is here I expect that to change. Nebraska put up 70+ points in their 1st 8 games this year except for 1 and that was against Creighton. Creighton was the best team that they faced during that time but as soon as they play a decent team they can't score as much and aren't as good anymore. Their most recent game was a conference loss to Indiana and they only put up 55 points in that game, and that was right after a game that they scored 100 points in. Their defense wasn't terrible in that game either though and they didn't let Indiana get to 70 points in that game. I think that Nebraska is going to struggle here since Michigan is a much better team but I don't think Michigan is going to come out and lay the points on them either. I expect there to be some good defense in this game from both and I think Michigan is also going to struggle on the road a bit. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 64-56 Michigan. | |||||||
12-03-21 | 76ers v. Hawks UNDER 214 | 98-96 | Win | 100 | 14 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: 76ers/Hawks UNDER. I am on the under in the Philadelphia 76ers vs Atlanta Hawks game on Friday. The 76ers have not looked good in their games lately. A few of their key pieces were dealing with illness and injuries but they have all returned to the team now. They have not looked like they have good chemistry in those games though and it was even mentioned by the team that they just need to get used to playing with everyone again now that everyone is back. They have looked a bit shaky in their games because of that and it has caused some lower scoring games as of late. Their previous 2 games in a row both stayed under 200 points and 1 of the teams in their games have not scored 100+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games. The Hawks have been dealing with some injuries of their own and they will be without a few of their starters and some bench depth also such as Bogdanovic, Hunter, and Reddish. I think that the absence of these players from their lineup is going to weaken their offensive power a bit and I think that the Hawks will have to play more defense in this game to make up for those absences. The Hawks have looked really good lately and they play very well on their home court. I think it will be easier for them to play a good defensive game here at home and I think the 76ers are going to struggle to score anyway as they are still getting used to everyone being bak in their lineup. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 101-94 Hawks. | |||||||
12-01-21 | Hornets v. Bucks OVER 229.5 | 125-127 | Win | 100 | 14 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hornets/Bucks OVER. I am on the over in the Charlotte Hornets vs Milwaukee Bucks game on Wednesday. The Bucks have looked good in their games lately and they are hot coming into this game. They have won 7 games in a row but their scoring has really increased in their most recent games and they have been putting up 114+ points in 5 games in a row. Their defense hasn't been that good in those games either, they have let the opposing team put up 100+ points in their previous 2 games in a row and they have been allowing that in most of their games over the past 2 weeks. The Hornets are also a team that doesn't put a lot of effort towards playing defense and they have been on a little run of high scoring games. Not only have they put up 119+ points in 3 games in a row, but they have given up 115+ points in all of those games and in each of their previous 3 games 1 team has scored at least 130+ points in all of them. I think this is going to be a high scoring game where both teams just keep shooting the ball and take their focus away from playing defense. I think this game is going to have no defense in it and I think these 2 teams are going to just keep scoring points. I am on the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-118 Bucks. | |||||||
11-30-21 | Warriors v. Suns UNDER 221 | Top | 96-104 | Win | 100 | 17 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Suns UNDER. I am on the under in the Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns game on Tuesday. This game is between the 2 best teams in the league right now and I don't think it is going to be a high scoring shootout. The Warriors have won 7 games in a row and the Suns have won 16 games in a row, neither team is going to want to lose here and I think that both are going to play better defense in order to keep the other off the board knowing how hot both teams have been. The Suns have only put up 120+ points 2 times in their previous 12 games and I really don't think they will be able to do that on the Warriors with their defensive skill. The Warriors have held the opposing team to less than 100 points in 2 of their previous 3 games and i expect them to play their best defense all year knowing that they are playing a team that has won 16 in a row. The Warriors have been on a crazy run and playing incredibly since the start of the year though, so the Suns aren't going to have their guard down in this game either. The Warriors haven't put up 120+ points in 9 games in a row anyway, and I think the Suns will make sure that continues here. I am expecting a lower scoring game between these 2 hot teams as both try to play their best defense in this game. I am on the under here. T.M. Prediction: 97-95 Suns. | |||||||
11-28-21 | Warriors v. Clippers OVER 215 | 105-90 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Warriors Clippers OVER. I am on the over in the Golden State Warriors vs LA Clippers game on Sunday. The Warriors are the best team in the league at the moment and they have looked incredible in most of their games this year. They have been starting to win their games with more offense than defense lately though. After a stretch of a few games where they weren't scoring a ton and they weren't even letting the opposing team score a lot things have changed. The Warriors have put up 115+ points in their previous 3 games and they have given up 100+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games too. I think their shooting is too good at the moment and the whole team is playing so well that they will be tough to stop even if the other team is playing great defense. The Clippers haven't put up 110+ points in their previous 7 games in a row but I think that is going to change here. The Warriors are going to score points in this game with how well they have been playing, and I think that's going to force the Clippers to shoot and score more points just to keep up. I think this is going to be a high scoring game and I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 124-117 Warriors. | |||||||
11-24-21 | Hornets v. Magic OVER 218.5 | 106-99 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hornets/Magic OVER. I am on the over in the Charlotte Hornets vs Orlando Magic game on Wednesday. The Hornets have looked great in their games lately and they are on a great run at the moment, winning 6 games of their previous 7. They were struggling on the road but they have looked a lot better lately with 2 wins in their previous 3 road games, winning both games by 6+ points. They have been scoring a lot in their games lately, in their previous 3 games they have put up 105+ points in all of them and both teams have scored 100+ points in those games. I think with the way the Hornets have been playing lately, they are going to score a ton of points on the Magic who are not playing good defense at the moment. The Magic have given 115+ points to opposing teams in 3 games in a row now and also in 4 of their previous 5 games. Their defense has looked really bad. They are also playing their 1st game back from a 5 game road trip and I think they are going to be a little tired from all that travelling so I expect their defense to be just as bad in this game too. The Hornets don't play the best defense either so the Magic will not have a bad night at the bucket, but I still think that Charlotte is going to blast them and put up a ton of points them. I like this game to go over. T.M. Prediction: 123-106 Hornets. | |||||||
11-21-21 | Nuggets v. Suns UNDER 211 | 97-126 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nuggets/Suns UNDER. I am on the under in the Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns game on Sunday. The Nuggets have not been involved in many high scoring affairs lately. They have not scored 110+ points in 5 of their previous 6 games. There has also been 1 team scoring under 100 points in their games in 4 of their previous 6. Nikola Jokic is also questionable for this game with an injury and he is a very large part of their offense. If he does not play in this game, then there is no way that the Nuggets even make it to 100 points on the Suns but even if he does play, they will struggle to put up points on the road against the Suns who are the hottest team in the league at the moment. The Suns have won 11 games in a row and their defense has looked great in those games too. They have held 4 opposing teams in their previous 5 games to under 100 points and they haven't really been scoring 110+ points in many of their games either. I think the Suns are going to be able to dictate the pace of this game with their defense on their home court and I think they are going to keep a banged up Nuggets team to under 100 points in this game. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 104-92 Suns. | |||||||
11-15-21 | Rockets v. Grizzlies OVER 219.5 | 102-136 | Win | 100 | 14 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rockets/Grizzlies OVER. I am on the over in the Houston Rockets vs Memphis Grizzlies game on Monday. The Rockets have not looked good lately as they are stringing a bunch of losses together before this game. Their defense has been awful lately, they have let other teams put up 100+ points on them in their L4 games, and 3 of those games they gave up 110+ points to the other team. This is a game that I think the Grizzlies can win by a lot and score a lot of points in this game. The Grizzlies just lost to the Pelicans who are the worst team in the league at the moment, that is not going to sit well with them and I expect them to come out and give a great effort in this game. Ja Morant has cooled off a bit lately but I think this is a game that he will dominate in with the bad defense that the Rockets have been playing. The Grizzlies are going to be able to score a ton of points in this game, if the Rockets are going to keep up and stay in it then they are going to have to score a lot themselves. The Grizzlies don't play the best defense either so I can see the score getting up there in this game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 129-117 Grizzlies. | |||||||
11-13-21 | Pistons v. Raptors UNDER 202 | 127-121 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pistons/Raptors UNDER. I am on the under in the Detroit Pistons vs Toronto Raptors game on Saturday. The Pistons are at the bottom of the standings and they are one of the worst shooting teams in the league. They have only put up 100+ points 1 time in their L6 games. They are the team in the NBA that is averaging the least amount of points per game this season. In 2 of their L3 games, neither team has hit 100 points in the game. The Raptors have looked much better than expected this year but their defense has always been over the last few years and it still is. The Raptors are a top 5 team in the league when it comes to giving up the least amount of points per game this season. I think the Raptors aren't going to score a lot of points in this game because they will not need to score a lot to win this game. I think the Pistons are going to struggle to score on the Raptors' defense and the Raptors are not a high scoring team anyway so I don't expect them to bury the Pistons here. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 98-92 Raptors. | |||||||
11-10-21 | Wolves v. Warriors OVER 221.5 | 110-123 | Win | 100 | 15 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Timberwolves/Warriors OVER. I am on the over in the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors game on Wednesday. The Timberwolves have been playing in some high scoring games lately. In 2 of their L3 games they have had both teams score 110+ points with both of those games going over this posted total. Their last game also went to OT and I think that extended time on the court is going to affect the way they play defense in this game. The Warriors have been putting up 120+ points in each of their L3 games and Steph Curry has just been destroying teams in his path. The Warriors have been shooting well lately and they are going to score a lot in this game. This is going to force Minnesota to focus more on their shooting than their defense and I think the score is going to get to high numbers because of it. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-114 Timberwolves. | |||||||
11-09-21 | Kentucky v. Duke UNDER 148.5 | 71-79 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Duke/Kentucky UNDER. I am on the under in the Duke vs Kentucky game on Tuesday. Both of these teams have some new faces on their roster and a lot of the players from last year are no longer with either team. Duke was putting up around 76 points per game while giving up around 71 points per game last year. Kentucky was putting up and giving up around 70 points in their games last year. Neither team was scoring a ton of points in their games last year and these are the 9th and 10th ranked teams in the country. They will be playing each other hard and that means both team should be playing some good defense here. It is the 1st game of the year so I expect that neither team will have a crazy night with their shooting and will all of the new players on the court in a real game now, it should take some time for the chemistry to build up so I think there will be a slow start for both teams here. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 68-65 Duke. | |||||||
11-02-21 | Pelicans v. Suns OVER 216.5 | 100-112 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pelicans/Suns OVER. I am on the over in the New Orleans Pelicans vs Phoenix Suns game on Tuesday. The Pelicans have been scoring a lot more points in their last few games. They scored 109 on the Kings and 117 against the Knicks. Their shooting was about average in their last game just under 50% with their field goals and a little over 30% with their 3 pointers. they have not played since Saturday night so the are well rested for this game and I expect them to have a much better shooting percentage in this game. They have not been playing great defense in their last couple of games as they have given up 110+ points in each of their last 2. The Suns have had a disappointing start to their season and are not scoring a lot or sinking a lot of shots. They have only scored 110+ points in 1 game this season and I expect that to change here. They have not played since Saturday either and will be just as rested as the Pelicans. their shooting percentage has been average in their games but lately their 3 point percentage has been really bad. They have shot under 30% with their 3 pointers in their last 2 games but with the 2 days of rest, I'm expecting a much better effort here. I think both teams will be fresh for this game and come out hard looking for the win. I think both these teams are going to have a better day with their shooting from the field so I like this game to go over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 127-118 Suns. | |||||||
10-31-21 | Pistons v. Nets UNDER 215 | 91-117 | Win | 100 | 17 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pistons/Nets UNDER. I am on the under in the Detroit Pistons vs Brooklyn Nets game on Sunday. The Pistons just picked up their 1st win of the season on Saturday against the Magic and will now be playing the end of a B2B for this game. They beat the Magic 110-102 and that was the 1st game this season for the Pistons that they put up 105+ points in. Most of their games this year have gone under the number. I think they will be tired after trying to get that 1st win and now on the end of a B2B against a team much better than them. I think they will find themselves playing from behind in this game and I expect them to miss a lot of shots trying to make a comeback. The Nets have not been shooting well either and they have only put up 110+ points in 1 game this year. They will probably not need to put up a lot points to win this game as the Pistons are 1 of the worst teams in the league. I think this game will be on the lower scoring end so I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 102-94 Nets. | |||||||
10-30-21 | Raptors v. Pacers UNDER 215.5 | 97-94 | Win | 100 | 14 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Raptors/Pacers UNDER. I am on the under in the Toronto Raptors vs Indiana Pacers game on Saturday. The Raptors have won 2 games in a row now and they will be starting a 3 game road trip in Indiana tonight. The Raptors have been a lower scoring team this year since the season started but they have also played 5/6 games on the comfort of their own home court. Their 1st road game this year was in Boston and they came right back home after that game. This will be the 1st time this year that they are away from home for an extended period of time. This is also a revenge spot for the Pacers since the Raptors beat them a few nights ago in Toronto 118-100. The Pacers started their season with 2 high scoring games putting up 120+ points in each but have since then played a much slower pace and defensive style putting up no more than 109 points in their last 4 in a row. I expect this to be a lower scoring game that is slower in pace and that both teams play defense well in. The Pacers will want to get back at the Raptors for their win in the last meeting and they will stress good defense to shut down the Raptors here. I think the Raptors are going to use that same defensive strategy here so I like this game to go under. T.M. Prediction: 101-97 Pacers. | |||||||
10-28-21 | Hawks v. Wizards OVER 222 | 111-122 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Wizards OVER. I am on the over in the Atlanta Hawks vs Washington Wizards game on Thursday. The Wizards just beat the Celtics on the road 116-107 and now they are at home for this B2B game on Thursday. I expect them to be tired from their game in Boston and that will affect their defense more than their offense so I am expecting a weak defensive effort from Washington in this game. The Wiz have given up 100+ points in all of their games this season except the 1 against the Raptors, the Hawks have much better shooters than the Raptors do so they are going to put up 100+ points here no problem. The Hawks are also playing on a B2B game here and will be their 2nd in a row on the road. They pulled off a comeback in New Orleans on Wednesday night to win that game and likely exhausted a lot of energy in that game. I am expecting them to be a bit tired here too and play a weaker defensive game. I expect this game to be all shooting here and the Hawks have some really good shooters on their team that will be able to put up a lot of points. I think this is going to be a high scoring game with no defense so i like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-121 Hawks. | |||||||
10-27-21 | Pacers v. Raptors UNDER 219 | 100-118 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pacers/Raptors UNDER. I am on the under in the Indiana Pacers vs Toronto Raptors game on Wednesday. The Pacers are starting a mini 2 game road trip here. They have played in a lot of high scoring games this season already with 3/4 games that they have played going over. Now they are playing a much slower paced team than what they have seen in their 1st 4 games and I expect them to have a bit of a let down and not make as many shots in this game. The Raptors, on the contrary, have been going under in most of their games that they have played this season. The Raptors have failed to score 100+ points in 2 of their 4 games but that is because they mainly rely on their good defense to win their games as opposed to their offense which is not that good. The Pacers do not need to put a ton of points up in this game to get by the Raptors if they find themselves with the lead here. This game should have a slower pace and have better defense by both teams so I like this game to go under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 100-97 Pacers. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Mavs v. Raptors UNDER 216.5 | Top | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Raptors/Mavericks UNDER. I am on the under in the Toronto Raptors vs Dallas Mavericks game on Saturday. The Raptors are on a B2B in this matchup and this is the 2nd game of that B2B. They lost a lot of their talent in the offseason and their offensive power really took a hit with the departure of Kyle Lowry. This is a very young team now but they are still playing good defense in their games to make up for that offense that they lack. In 2 games this season, they have not given up 100+ points in either of their games. Neither of their games have reached 200 points total either. The Mavericks haven't had a good start to their season this year losing their 1st game and failing to score even 100 points in that game. They were a disappointment in that game and now they have to travel out of the country up north for this game with no momentum on their side after that crushing loss. Their shooting was horrific in that game and I expect them to have a similar kind of game here. The Raptors won't really push them to score a lot either as they will try to win this game with a good defensive approach. I expect this to be a lower scoring game where 1 of these teams will not even reach 100 points. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 101-95 Mavericks. | |||||||
10-22-21 | Suns v. Lakers UNDER 223 | 115-105 | Win | 100 | 16 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Lakers UNDER. I am on the under in the Phoenix Suns vs LA Lakers game on Friday. The Lakers lost to the Golden State Warriors in their first game this season 121-114. That game went over the total but I expect this one to not be as high scoring of a game. The Lakers had a lead throughout the entire 1st half in that game but they let the Warriors creep back into the game. At one point in the 3Q, the Lakers barely put up any points and let the Warriors come back from down 10 points and then take a 10 point lead themselves going into the 4Q. That was a very bad look on them and I expect them to put in a better effort on defense as a team in this game to get their 1st win. The Suns also lost their 1st game this season against the Denver Nuggets but that game went under the total. The Suns were the favorite in that game and they did not even make it to 100 points posting a 98 in that one. The didn't let Denver run away with it too far though keeping them to 110 points in that game. Both teams are 0-1 and will be looking for that 1st win so I expect both teams will play a bit better on the defensive side of the ball here. I like this game to go under the total. T.M. Prediction: 104-100 Lakers. | |||||||
10-21-21 | Mavs v. Hawks OVER 224.5 | 87-113 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks/Hawks OVER. I am on the over in the Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks game on Thursday. The Mavs were a very high scoring team last season and so far they have picked up right where they left off. In 4 preseason games, they have had 110+ points scored in all of their games. They also gave up 100+ points in 3 of those preseason games. The Hawks were also a very high scoring team last season. They both have good shooters and focus more on their offense than they do on defense. They both play a very fast paced game too and will push each other to keep scoring more points. I think this is going to be a game where we don't see a lot of defense from either team and just see a lot of offense and scoring points. They are both playoff bound teams this season and will both want to get the win here on their opening night. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-124 Hawks. | |||||||
07-14-21 | Suns v. Bucks UNDER 220.5 | Top | 103-109 | Win | 100 | 37 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Bucks UNDER FIRST HALF (10* FINALS FIRST HALF TOTAL OF YEAR). Instead of playing the full game under, I'm targetting the first half. Game's 1 and 2 both flew over the number, but Game 3 finally went under. The first half total went over the number though in Game 2, but in my opinion, Game 4 definitely sets up as more of a defensive affair. Phoenix had its way in Game 1 against a tired and injured Bucks team, but the reason the Suns are in the Finals this season is because of their improved defensive play. Milwaukee will be once again out to control the tempo of this one and in my opinion, this contest from a situational stand point, absolutely sets up as a defensive affair. Look for that to pay IMMEDIATE dividends though. This first half total is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
07-11-21 | Suns v. Bucks UNDER 222 | 100-120 | Win | 100 | 35 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Bucks UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). No need to overthink this one. The first two games of this series went over the number, but with their backs against the wall, the Bucks are going to have to play with an added sense of urgency on the defensive end. There's just no way that Milwaukee can let the Suns dictate the flow of this one. The home side is going to have defensive pressure from start to finish, both half and full court. This is the highest total so far in this series, but now just a little too high; everything points to a defensive under in Game 3! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
07-08-21 | Bucks v. Suns UNDER 220.5 | Top | 108-118 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Bucks UNDER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). The Bucks lost badly in Game 1, but I expect them to be much more competitive in Game 2. Giannis Antetokounmpo was game time decision in the last game, so it was difficult for the Bucks to come in with a proper game plan. Giannis was good and I expect him to be even better here. I expect Milwaukee as a whole to play a lot better on the defensive end as well. The Bucks' series with the Nets was incredibly defensive and I expect that same intensity here as they look to avoid the 0-2 hole. The Suns are where they are right now because of their improved defensive play. I say that Game 2 has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
07-06-21 | Bucks v. Suns UNDER 219 | Top | 105-118 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Suns UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the line-up, the last thing the Bucks can afford to do is to turn this into a "track meet" with Chris Paul and Devin Booker. Milwaukee will have to get up in their face throughout and try to grind out a win here in Game 1 without its superstar playing tonight. Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday and Bobby Portis have had to defend some stiff opponents during this playoff run (the Nets in particular come to mind), and so I don't see the Suns actually being the best offense they've faced so far. The Bucks have been efficient on both ends of the court during the playoffs. The Suns have been though as well. One big advantage that Phoenix will have in Game 1 is the size difference in the middle, so look for Paul to try and get big man D'Andre Ayton involved throughout. I think the extra time off as well will help in driving this total under the posted number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
07-01-21 | Hawks v. Bucks UNDER 216 | Top | 112-123 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Bucks UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). No need to overthink this one. The last three games have all fallen under the number in this series. We're all tied up heading back to Milwaukee, but with both team's respective superstars sidlined with injury. Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.2 points and 12.7 boards for the Bucks in the playoffs, but he injured his knee in the last time. Trae Young is averaging 29.8 points and 9.5 assists for the Hawks, and his status is still questionable for this one. With these two stars sidelined, expect this to be a scrappy, and ultimately a lower-scoring under once again! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-26-21 | Suns v. Clippers UNDER 218.5 | Top | 84-80 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Clippers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Game 3 fell well UNDER the number. I think that LA doubles down on the defensive end again here today as well. Phoenix has advanced to this point because of its tough defensive play and I expect a much better effort from the visiting side as well on that end. Note that Phoenix has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to 95 points or less in. Everything points to another defensive affair here; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-23-21 | Hawks v. Bucks UNDER 226.5 | Top | 116-113 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Bucks UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). I think the extra time off between series will have an effect on the Bucks offensive flow. The last thing that Atlanta can afford to do is to turn this into a "track meet" and expect to hang with the high-scoring Bucks. I don't expect that to happen. Altanta has advanced to this point by playing suffocating defense and being efficient on the offensive end. The Hawks have also seen the total go under in eight of their last 11 when playing with three or more days rest. Everything points to Game 1 staying well under the posted number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY | |||||||
06-22-21 | Clippers v. Suns OVER 224 | Top | 103-104 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clips/Suns OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Game 1 sailed well over the number and everything points to a duplicate final combined score here as well. The Suns actually got off to a slow start in Game 1, before then finally starting to "click" in the fourth quarter. I'd argue that with Chris Paul in for the Suns here, who likes to direct from the point, and with Kawhi Leonard in for the Clippers (an ex defensive MVP and lock down specialist), that this would be more of a defensive affair, than an offensive one. With those two guys still sidelined, look for Game 2 to fly well over before the final horn sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-18-21 | Jazz v. Clippers OVER 219.5 | 119-131 | Win | 100 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Clippers/Jazz OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Kawhi Leonard out? No matter. In steps Paul George to put together one of his best playoff performance of all time in the Clippers Game 5 victory. LA has now won three straight and it has a shot at knocking off the Jazz and advancing. Utah though won't be rolling over obviously and it'll be out to dictate the tempo of this one, which I expect to be a very fast one. The last thing Utah can do is sit back and wait, it has to be the aggressor from the opening tip until the final horn (note as well that the Jazz have seen the total go over the number in eight of their last 11 after three or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row.) This number is low, the play is the over! 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. | |||||||
06-13-21 | 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. | |||||||
06-10-21 | 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. | |||||||
06-07-21 | 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. | |||||||
06-07-21 | Bucks v. Nets OVER 233.5 | 86-125 | Loss | -111 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nets/Bucks OVER (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Game 1 looked like it could go over the number after the first half, but each team struggled somewhat with offensive consistency in the second half. The Bucks are going to have to be the aggressors here though to avoid an 0-2 hole. Brooklyn lost a valuable piece in James Harden temporarily, so the onus is on Kevin Durant here to carry the load for the home side. Instead of a defensive affair this time around, I expect a much more wide-open one. A faster pace = more shots and more shots = more points; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
06-06-21 | Mavs v. Clippers OVER 209.5 | 111-126 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection:Clippers/Mavericks OVER (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). These teams have engaged in several low-scoring games, but everything points to an offensive explosion on Game 7 in my opinion. Dallas actually has been averaging more points on the road in the playoffs than at home (115 compared to 105.1 in Dallas). The Clippers average 108 points at home, but they'll be the aggressors here from the outset. I'll point out as well that Dallas has seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it was help to 100 points or less in. Everything points to a shootout, the play is the over! 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. | |||||||
05-30-21 | Clippers v. Mavs OVER 221 | 106-81 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Clippers/Mavericks OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The last two games have flown over the number, and everything points to Game 4 following suit in my opinion. The Clippers are right back in this series after their 118-108 Game 3 win. LA has seen the total go over in eight of its last 12 after a SU/ATS road victory of ten or more points. The Mavericks score 240 cmbined points over the first two games, but only had 108 last time out. Expect a "return to the norm" here on the offensive end for the Mavericks though, as note that they've seen the total soar over the number in six of their last eight in trying to revenge a home loss of ten or more points against an opponent; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-29-21 | Jazz v. Grizzlies OVER 223.5 | 121-111 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies/Jazz OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). These teams are all tied up at one game apiece. Both games have gone over the number so far in this series, and I expect that trend to continue here. Donovan Mitchell returned to the Jazz line-up in Game 2 and Utah pulled away for a huge 141-129 victory. Note that Utah has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 off a SU/ATS home victory in which it scored 130 or more points in. The Grizzlies will have to match pace with their suddenly confident opponent and in my opinion, all of these listed factors add up to a high-scoring over T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
05-28-21 | Nets v. Celtics OVER 227 | 119-125 | Win | 101 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Celtics/Nets OVER (8* MONEY-MAKER). Brooklyn has been surprisingly good on the defensive end of the court over the first two games of this series, but I think Boston will bring its "A" game here as it tries to get back into this series with a win at home in Game 3. Another loss will surely spell "D-O-O-M" for Boston, which almost assuredly couldn't get back into this series down 3-0. Jayson Tatum was held in check in Game 2 and there's no way I expect that to happen twice. The strength of Brooklyn though is in transition, so today's faster pace will suit it just fine. Everything points to the over as the correct call in Game 3! 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 | Wizards v. 76ers OVER 230.5 | 95-120 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wizards/76ers OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Game 1 went over the number, and I believe that Game 2 will as well. Neither team is known for its defensive prowess. Clearly, the last thing the Wizards can do here is try to sit back and let Philadelphia dictate the tempo of the game. Philly will try its best to run its offense through its big man Joel Embiid, but Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal will absolutely be pushing the pace of this one from the opening tip until the final horn. The stage is now set for some offensive fireworks; the play is the over! 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. | |||||||

T.M. Selection: Suns/Lakers UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). These two teams are both in the Top 10 in several defensive categories. Each likes to run its offense through its big men, or to set up isolation plays for star players. This invariably leads to a lot of clock-killing on the offensive end. The Lakers will be out to establish their defensive superiority from the "get go," here, as they'll look to avoid getting into any track meets with Chris Paul and Devin Booker. I expect a hard-fought, but lower-scoring Game 1. The play is the under! 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. | |||||||

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. | |||||||
05-18-21 | Hornets v. Pacers UNDER 227.5 | 117-144 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hornets/Pacers UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Both teams are banged up, but especially the Pacers. Indiana will be without the services of leading scorer Malcolm Brogdon in this one, and Caris Lavert is also questionable. Charlotte enters on a five-game losing streak. The Hornets are dealing with injury issues as well. I believe each team will body up on their opponents throughout, with plenty of full and half-court pressure. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||

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. | |||||||

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.

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. 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. | |||||||

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.

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.

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.

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. | |||||||
04-29-21 | 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. | |||||||
04-26-21 | 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. | |||||||
04-24-21 | Wolves v. Jazz OVER 232.5 | 101-96 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jazz/T-Wolves OVER (8*). Minnesota comes in off a high-scoring, but tight 128-125 loss at Sacramento. The Wolves will have their hands full here with a Jazz team which has won seven of its last nine. Most recently they crushed Houston 112-89. Note though that Utah has seen the total go over the number in eight of its last ten home games after holding its previous opponent to under 90 points in a SU/ATS road victory. This number is low, as I expect a wide open shootout; the play is the over! 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. | |||||||
04-18-21 | 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. | |||||||
04-14-21 | 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. | |||||||
04-12-21 | 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. | |||||||
04-10-21 | 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. | |||||||
04-05-21 | 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. | |||||||
03-31-21 | Jazz v. Grizzlies UNDER 230 | 111-107 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jazz/Grizz UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Utah's on a six-game win streak. The Jazz are one of the best teams on both ends of the court, averaging 117 PPG, while only conceding 107.5. Rudy Gobert is going to be a matchup problem for Memphis today, so expect Utah to utilize its big man in its offense a little more than normal this evening. The Grizzlies margin of error is slim most nights, as they average 111.7 PPG, while allowing 111.4. Utah beat Memphis twice last week. These teams are very familiar with each other and in my opinion, all signs point to this one being a very physical war, but one which produces a solid under; and that's the play, the under! 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. | |||||||
03-27-21 | 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 | Villanova v. Baylor OVER 140.5 | 51-62 | Loss | -108 | 77 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baylor/Villanova OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Yes, both of these teams have good defenses, but each of their offenses is so much better. The Wildcats are averaging 75 PPG, while Baylor averages just over 83.0. The Bears are in the top 20 in field goal percentage and they are in fact the No. 1 team in the nation in three-point shooting (Villanova is in the Top 100 in both categories.) I'm expecting a fast-paced and ultimately high-scoring shootout here; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-27-21 | Oregon State v. Loyola-Chicago UNDER 126 | 65-58 | Win | 100 | 75 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oregon State/Loyola Chicago UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Loyola Chicago likes to use the clock while its on offense, as it plays a half-court style. In fact, the Ramblers play at a bottom 15 overall pace of play in the country. Now combine that with their No. 1 defensive efficiency rating, and there's no doubt inmy mind that we're going to see another tight, low-scoring game here vs. the Beavers. Oregon State has been phenomenal to get to this point and while its defense has been its weak point overall this season, it's been fantastic during its NCAA Tournament run, especially guarding the perimeter. Look for this contest to stay well under! 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. | |||||||
03-23-21 | 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 | Maryland v. Alabama OVER 138 | 77-96 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bama/Maryland OVER (8*). Two red hot teams collide and I expect some offensive fireworks fo rsure. The Terrapins average 68.6 PPG and they're facing a defense which concedes 69.3 PPG. The Tide average 79.2 PPG and even though the Terps are giving up just 64.6 PPG, they're going to be forced to play at a very high pace here. This one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-21-21 | Oregon State v. Oklahoma State OVER 140 | 80-70 | Win | 100 | 13 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: OKS/Oregon State OVER (8*). Both teams advanced out of the first round because of tough defensive play, but I think this line is now a little too low, and that the sharp wager is on the over. Oregon State has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 after allowing 57 or less points in a SU/ATS victory in its last outing as well. Both of these teams have advanced farther than expected and I look for each to push the pace from start to finish; this number is low! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-21-21 | North Texas v. Villanova UNDER 127 | 61-84 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UNT/Nova UNDER (8*). Both teams have excelled on the defensive end this season and we can expect each to lean on its strength here as well. Both of these teams also play at a very deliberate pace on the offensive side. UNT has seen the total dip under in eight of its last 11 neutral site affairs as well; this number is a tad high! 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 | Syracuse v. San Diego State OVER 138.5 | 78-62 | Win | 100 | 29 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cuse/SDSU OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Two hungry and hopeful teams collide in the opening round round of the NCAA Tournament. The Orange lost 72-69 to the Hokies in the ACC Tournament while the Aztecs advanced here by beating Utah State in the Mountain West Conference Tournament Championship contest. Syracuse averages 75.8 PPG, while allowing 70.7. The Aztecs won't be rolling over after 14 straight victories though. SDSU averages 74.1 PPG, while allowing 60.6. Two really good defenses here, but also underrated offensively. Look for this to be a little more wide open than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe; the play is the over! 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 | Wolves v. Suns OVER 229 | 123-119 | Win | 100 | 14 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wolves/Suns OVER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). The 9-31 Minnesota Timberwolves have lost 11 of their last 13. They most recently fell 137-121 at the Lakers. Minnesota's offense was clicking, scoring 70 points by half time, but as good as its offense looked, was as terrible as its defense was. The high-flying Suns will look to take advantage here and build off their impressive 122-99 win over the Grizzlies in their latest action. Phoenix is the better team, but this is a very large spread. Instead, I look for each side to push the pace and for this one to eclipse the posted number sooner, rather than later; the play is the over! 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. | |||||||
03-15-21 | 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. | |||||||
03-12-21 | Ohio State v. Purdue OVER 142.5 | Top | 87-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Purdue/OSU OVER (10*). Two of the best in the conference/nation go head-to-head here and I'm expecting some offensive fireworks. Both teams come in off victories and each has performed well in this spot, as Ohio State has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 after a victory, while Purdue has seen the total fly over in seven of its last ten neutral site games. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-11-21 | Texas Tech v. Texas OVER 134.5 | 66-67 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: TT/Texas OVER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). These two teams sport similar numbers. The Longhorns play with revenge here. Both teams excel on the defensive end, as TT allows just 63.3 PPG, while Texas concedes only 68.2. However, the Longhorns have seen the total go over in seven of their last ten in trying to revenge an in-season loss vs. an opponent. Finally note that the over is 13-4 in the Longhorns last 17 overall. These two normally defensive-minded clubs are on track to play a faster-paced conference tournament game in my opinion; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-11-21 | Cal Poly v. Cal-Irvine UNDER 128 | Top | 51-58 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UC Irvine/Cal Poly UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Cal Poly is only 4-18, and I have a hard time seeing it mustering much of an offensive attack here vs. the 15-8 UC Irvine Anteaters. The Mustangs actually snapped a nine-game slide with a win over CSU Fullerton in the opener of the tournament. UC Irvine enters on a four-game win skein. The Anteaters enter off a commanding 73-58 win over LBSU on Saturday and I expect a similar smothering defensive peformance here as well. These teams met twice in the regular season and the Anteaters held the Mustangs to just 49 and 44 points respectively. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: Coming shortly. | |||||||
03-08-21 | St. Mary's v. Gonzaga OVER 142.5 | Top | 55-78 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga/Saint Mary's OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Gonzaga is 24-0 and I expect it to send a statement here, not only to Saint Mary's, but also to the rest of the conference and the rest of the country. Gonazga just beat Saint Mary's 73-59 in its regular season finale. The Gaels will be forced to match pace here with the Bulldogs. Good thing for Saint Mary's here is that it's line-up is 100% healthy. The Bulldogs are the highest scoring team in the nation, averaging 92.9 PPG and I expect them to hit that mark and go over it tonight. Gonzaga has the fourth highest tempo in the nation and I expect for that to be on full display tonight. This total is a little low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-07-21 | Texas Tech v. Baylor UNDER 139 | Top | 73-88 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas Tech/Baylor UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Texas Tech is 17-8 after beating Iowa State at home by 27 points in its last outing. Baylor is 20-1 after hammering Oklahoma State at home by 11 in its last outing. Mac McClung and the Red Raidres are catching fire at the exact right time, but clearly Texas Tech will be looking to slow the pace of this one down and get the Bears out of their comfort zone. Texas Tech is ranked 16th in defensive efficiency, while Baylor ranks 25th. Look for this slower-paced game to stay well under the number once the final horn sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-04-21 | Michigan State v. Michigan UNDER 140.5 | 50-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan/MSU UNDER (8*). Michigan is going to have another efficient offensive performance here, but the Wolverines play at a slow pace. MSU plays at an average tempo. The Spartans big upset wins this year have all come when they've played excellent defense and I expect a battle until the end here as well. THis number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-03-21 | Warriors v. Blazers OVER 235.5 | Top | 106-108 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Blazers OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). These are two teams looking for a victory here before the All Star break and I look for that competitiveness to translate into a lot of offensive production on the court. The Warriors had their three-game win skein snapped ina listless 117-91 road loss to the Lakers, but there's no reason not to think that Steph Curry and this high-flying Warriors side can't take advantage of this poor Portland defense. The Blazers finally broke their four-game slide with a 123-111 home win over the Hornets and they can ill afford to take the foot off the gas either. With both teams expected to push the pace from the opening tip until the final horn, look for this total to eclipse the posted number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
03-01-21 | Hornets v. Blazers OVER 235.5 | Top | 111-123 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blazers/Hornets OVER (10* TRADE-MARK). The Hornets come in off a high-scoring win over the Kings on the road in their last outing and I think they'll be able to carry and build off that offensive momentum here. Portland has lost four straight, so it'll have to match pace with its high-flying visting side. Situationally speaking, this one has over written all over it, but also take note that Portland has seen the total fly over the number in ten of its last 14 home games after a three games or longer SU losing streak; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
02-27-21 | Baylor v. Kansas UNDER 142.5 | 58-71 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baylor/Kansas UNDER (9* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Yes, these teams are two of the tops in terms of adjusted offensive rankings with the Bears at fourth, and the Jayhawks at 55th. But after hitting the over in six straight for Baylor and in four of five for Kansas, this number is now absolutely inflated. These two defenses are underrated. Note that Baylor has seen the total go under in eight of its last 11 after seeing the total go over in five or more straight games in a row. This number is indeed a tad bit high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
