Denver took a major hit when they found out that Carmelo Anthony will be out at least three weeks with a broken hand. The Celtics are in a funk right now, dropping five of their last seven games, including an overtime loss at lowly Charlotte on Tuesday. Celtics fans are hoping Danny Ainge does not bring bad actor Stephon Marbury into the fold. New Orleans made a strong statement last night with a double digit win over the Lakers in Staples Center. Red hot Cleveland and their 27-6 record take on hapless Charlotte tonight as double digit favorites.

There was a time in the NBA when you could make big money betting against double digit favorites and taking the Under in the same game. That is not the case anymore because the league has become top heavy and bottom heavy. Coming into Wednesday's action, NBA double digit favorites are 46-48-1 ATS and they are 49-46 OVER in those games.

Back to the top heavy and bottom heavy subject there are nine teams who are 9 or more games over .500, and a Charlotte loss to Cleveland tonight would mean there will be eight teams who are 10 or more games under .500. That represents just under 57% of the teams in the league.
