05-14-17 | Spurs v. Warriors -10 | Top | 111-113 | Loss | -105 | 53 h 53 m | Show |
I'm playing on GS 10* GAME OF WEEK. The Spurs sure looked impressive in their Game 6 win at Houston. They're obviously extremely well-coached and not to be taken lightly. That said, I believe that the Warriors are playing at another level. They have yet to lose this postseason. All but one of their victories has come by double-digits. The Spurs have only lost twice in May. However, both of those losses came by more than 20 points. So, when they do lose, they've shown that they can "lose big." Note that the Spurs are 5-9 ATS off two day's rest and 2-4 ATS when coming off an "upset" win. All three of this season's regular season meetings were decided by a minimum of 12 points, two of those decided by 20 or more. I expect the Warriors to deliver another convincing victory on Sunday. |

05-12-17 | Celtics v. Wizards UNDER 216 | Top | 91-92 | Win | 100 | 13 h 49 m | Show |
I'm playing on Boston/Washington to finish UNDER the total 10* BEST BET. The Spurs/Rockets series had been high-scoring through the first five games. That changed in the first "elimination game." Last night, the teams combined for just 189 points in a game where the O/U line was well into the 200s. This series has had a very similar O/U pattern to that series. In fact, its been identical. In each series, Game 1 and Game 2 both finished above the total. Game 3 finished below the number. Game 4 and 5 both were 'overs.' With this being the first "elimination game," I expect this series to continue to mimic that one, the final score of Game 6 proving much lower than many will be expecting. |

05-11-17 | Spurs v. Rockets UNDER 214 | Top | 114-75 | Win | 100 | 31 h 25 m | Show |
I'm playing on SA/Houston to finish UNDER the total 10* TOTAL OF MONTH. The last game produced 217 combined points, slipping over the posted total. That was a bit of a bad beat for 'under' bettors though, as there were only 202 points scored in regulation. While Houston home games have indeed been high-scoring, San Antonio road games average just 204.2 points. While the last game here was higher-scoring, the first finished with just 195 points. That one finished below the number by roughly 20 points. Including those results, the UNDER is 6-2 the Spurs last eight visits here. Look for this one to also prove lower-scoring than many will be expecting. |
|||||||
05-10-17 | Wizards v. Celtics UNDER 216 | Top | 101-123 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
I'm playing on Washington/Boston UNDER the total 10* BBEST BET. With the series tied for the first time, I'm expecting some increased defensive intensity. The only time the Wizards were tied in the first round (Game 5 vs. Atlanta) saw their game stay well below the total with 202 combined points. The Celtics also played a relatively low-scoring Game 5 in the opening round. Their fifth game vs. the Bulls produced 205 combined points. Off back-to-back bad losses, note that the UNDER is 9-4 when the Celtics were off a double-digit loss. Expect those stats to improve here. |
|||||||
05-08-17 | Warriors v. Jazz OVER 206 | Top | 121-95 | Win | 100 | 25 h 13 m | Show |
I'm playing on GS/Utah to finish OVER the total 10* BEST BET. Curry and Thompson struggled with their shot in Game 3 and the Warriors still hit triple-digits in scoring. With the "Splash brothers" bouncing back with a better offensive effort - and the Jazz doing the same - I expect a much higher-scoring Game 4. While the Jazz still average 100.9 ppg at home, Warrior road games are still averaging 218+ points this season. Expect an improved offensive effort from a desperate Jazz team, the final combined score finishing above the total. |
|||||||
05-07-17 | Spurs v. Rockets -5.5 | Top | 104-125 | Win | 100 | 12 h 27 m | Show |
I'm playing on HOUSTON 10* MAIN EVENT. Since stealing Game 1, the Rockets have dropped two in a row. That essentially makes this a must win game for them and I expect them to respond with their very best effort. While the Spurs are just 2-3 SU/ATS off an upset win, the Rockets are 11-6-1 ATS and 14-4 SU, when off an upset loss. They're also 9-3-1 ATS when attempting to avenge an earlier home loss. Expect them to even the series, picking up the cover along the way. |
|||||||
05-07-17 | Celtics v. Wizards UNDER 217 | Top | 102-121 | Loss | -110 | 55 h 49 m | Show |
I'm playing on Washington/Boston to finish UNDER the total 10* TOTAL OF WEEK. Here's an excerpt from my Game 3 writeup, when I also played on the "under." "With the venue shifting to Washington, I'm expecting a slightly slower tempo. The Celtics have seen the UNDER go 26-16-2 on the road this season, those games averaging 210.6 points ... This O/U line is higher than it was for the first two games and its higher than it was for either of Boston's regular season visits here. The Wizards were stingy their last two games against the Hawks here, holding Atlanta to 101 and 99 points, on 40.5% and 40.9% shooting. Expect them to improve defensively this evening, the final combined score staying beneath the generously high number." The Wizards did indeed improve defensively. In fact, Boston would only manage 89 points. After allowing Boston to shoot better than 50% from the field in the first two games, the Wizards held the Celtics to a 35.1% field goal percentage. The last time that the Celtics were off a loss, they went on the road and allowed just 87 points their next game. Look for them to improve defensively this time, the final combined score again staying below the number. |
|||||||
05-06-17 | Warriors v. Jazz OVER 207 | Top | 102-91 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 13 m | Show |
I'm playing on GS/Utah OVER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. The Warriors can score points, regardless of venue. They average 113.4 ppg on the road. While the Jazz had some trouble scoring at GS, they should have more success on their home floor. They average 101.1 ppg here. With Game 2 finishing above the number, the Jazz have now seen the OVER go 2-0 in these playoffs when trailing in a series. Meanwhile, the OVER is 3-1 when the Warriors were leading in a series. Don't be surprised when both teams hit "triple-digits" and the final combined score again finishes above the total. |
|||||||
05-05-17 | Spurs v. Rockets UNDER 214 | Top | 103-92 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show |
I'm playing on SA/Houston to finish UNDER the total 10* BLUE CHIP SUPER TOTAL. A change of venue can often mean a change in the tempo at which a series is played. We saw that in the Boston/Washington series last night. After two high-scoring games at Boston, the series shifted to Washington and the final score stayed well below the number. Of course, this is an entirely different series and venue which needs to be looked at on its own. However, there are plenty of reasons to expect a lower-scoring contest. The UNDER is 5-1 the last six times that the Spurs visited here, 2-0 this season. Those games produced 202 and 206 points, a 106-100 game on 11/12 and a 102-100 final on 12/20. The UNDER is 7-4 when the Rockets were off a double-digit loss this season and 21-11 after they'd allowed 115 or more points. Look for things to tighten up, the final score proving lower than many will be expecting. |
|||||||
05-05-17 | Cavs v. Raptors +3.5 | Top | 115-94 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 20 m | Show |
I'm playing on TORONTO 10* BEST BET. After dropping the first two games at Cleveland, the Raptors are in "must win" territory. With Lowry, who did not participate in morning shootaround, a gametime decision, not many are giving the Raptors much of a chance here. With or without Lowry, I expect a determined Raptor team to come ready to play. You may recall that the Raptors lost both the first games at Cleveland pretty badly in last season's playoffs, too. For Game 3, the Cavs were -5.5 point favorites. Yet, the Raptors scored an 99-84 upset. This team, now with Ibaka, is every bit as capable as last year's team and they're not going to go down without a fight. While the Cavs are 22-21 on the road, the Cavs are 30-14 at home. While I feel that they've got a great shot at the upset, I'm grabbing the points. |
|||||||
05-05-17 | Cavs v. Raptors UNDER 215 | Top | 115-94 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
I'm playing on Clev/Toronto to finish UNDER the total 10* FRIDAY FEAST. A change of venue can often mean a change in the tempo at which a series is played. We saw that in the Boston/Washington series last night. After two high-scoring games at Boston, the series shifted to Washington and the final score stayed well below the number. Of course, this is an entirely different series and venue which needs to be looked at on its own. However, there are plenty of reasons to expect a lower-scoring contest. With or without Lowry, still questionable as of this writing, the Raptors know that they need to improve defensively. I believe they're going to be much better on that side of the ball. They've still seen the UNDER go 15-11 as underdogs and 7-4 when coming off a double-digit loss. You may recall that the Raptors allowed a mere 84 points in Game 3 last season, after allowing 108 and 115 in the two games at Cleveland. Look for things to again tighten up, the final score proving lower than many will be expecting. |
|||||||
05-04-17 | Jazz v. Warriors -12 | Top | 104-115 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
I'm playing on GS 10* PERS FAV. The Jazz eked out a cover in Game 1, losing by 12. While the line has come down slightly for Game 2, I don't expect the Jazz to be so fortunate tonight. This playoff-tested team is already 3-0 ATS when leading in a series. After winning by "only" 12 in the opener against the Blazers, the line also came down a little for Game 2 of that series. Yet, the Warriors won Game 2 by 29 points, their biggest blowout of the playoffs. The Jazz may give them a tougher challenge in Utah but I don't see it happening here tonight. |
|||||||
05-04-17 | Celtics v. Wizards UNDER 219 | Top | 89-116 | Win | 100 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
I'm playing on Washington/Boston UNDER the total 10* BEST BET. With the venue shifting to Washington, I'm expecting a slightly slower tempo. The Celtics have seen the UNDER go 26-16-2 on the road this season, those games averaging 210.6 points. At an average of 215.6, games here have admittedly been high-scoring. Still, that average is lower than the O/U line which we're getting to work with here. This O/U line is higher than it was for the first two games and its higher than it was for either of Boston's regular season visits here. The Wizards were stingy their last two games against the Hawks here, holding Atlanta to 101 and 99 points, on 40.5% and 40.9% shooting. Expect them to improve defensively this evening, the final combined score staying beneath the generously high number. |

05-03-17 | Rockets v. Spurs -5 | Top | 96-121 | Win | 100 | 27 h 3 m | Show |
I'm playing on SAN ANTONIO 10* PERS FAV. After getting embarrassed last time out, the Spurs figure to be much better in Game 2. They've already lost home court advantage and know they can ill afford to stumble again. The Spurs are 12-8-1 ATS (15-6 SU) off an "upset loss" this season and they're 5-2 SU/ATS when playing with "home revenge." On the other hand, the Rockets were just 2-5 ATS off an "upset win." Expect the Spurs to want this one more and for that to ultimately lead to a win and cover. |
|||||||
05-03-17 | Raptors +7.5 v. Cavs | Top | 103-125 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 19 m | Show |
I'm playing on TORONTO 10* BEST BET. I won with the Cavs in the opener. However, I expect the Raptors to put up a much better fight tonight. The Raptors won seven of 10 games this season, when off a double-digit loss. They were blown out by the Bucks twice in the first round and each time they answered with an outright win. Some might be suprised to learn that the Raptors have been superior defensively to the Cavs this season. The Raptors allow 102.2 ppg (101.6 on the road) while the Cavs allow 107.2. Opposing teams hit 45.8% of their fg's against the Cavs but 44.9% against Toronto. Even with the Game 1 result, the Raptors are still 19-6 SU their last 25 against teams which allow 106 or more ppg. Expect them to give the Cavs all they can handle here. |
|||||||
05-02-17 | Jazz v. Warriors -13 | Top | 94-106 | Loss | -105 | 37 h 3 m | Show |
I'm playing on GS 10* ANNIHILATOR. The Jazz are just off a very taxing and emotional series. The Warriors had a relatively easy time with Portland and have had plenty of rest. I expect that to work in their favor on Tuesday night. One might expect the Jazz to fare well as big underdogs. However, that hasn't been the case. Not in recent seasons, at least. In fact, the Jazz are 0-6 SU/ATS as road underdogs of greater than a dozen points the past couple of seasons. That includes a 30-point loss here on 12/20. While the Jazz did score the upset here on 4/10, the Warriors are a dominating 38-19 ATS the past 2+ seasons, when attempting to avenge an earlier home loss. They've won their playoff home games by an average of more than 20 points and I expect another blowout here. |
|||||||
05-02-17 | Wizards v. Celtics UNDER 218.5 | Top | 119-129 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 22 m | Show |
I'm playing on Washington/Boston UNDER the total 10* BEST BET. Opening games of the NBA second round have been pretty high-scoring in recent seasons. This series was no exception. Game 1 saw a whopping 234 points scored. That suited me just fine as I had a play on the 'over' in that one. That result has worked in our favor here, as its provided us with a higher O/U line to work with for Game 2. However, while the line may be higher, I'm expecting a considerably lower combined score. The last time that the Wizards were off a loss, they responded by allowing only 87 points next time out, a game which stayed below the number by double-digits. While the Wizards do average 109 points (107.3 in the playoffs) per game, the Celitcs are allowing just 94.6 ppg their last five. For the season, even factoring in the Game 1 result, the UNDER is 17-9-2 when the Celtics have faced a team which averages 106 or more ppg. Look for this one to also prove lower-scoring than many will be expecting. |
|||||||
05-01-17 | Raptors v. Cavs -6.5 | Top | 105-116 | Win | 100 | 57 h 54 m | Show |
I'm playing on CLEVELAND 10* MAIN EVENT. In what should be a good series, I expect the Cavs to come out swinging. While the Cavs swept the Pacers, the Raptors showed some vulnerability in the opening round, losing a pair of games by double-digits. While some teams don't perform well after a long layoff, the Cavs haven't been one of them. They were 2-0 SU/ATS this season, when playing with three or more day's rest in between games. Each win came by double-digits. They returned from a long break in February and delivered a 15-point win over the Knicks. Earlier, after a break in November, they blew out the Blazers by a dozen points. Expect homecourt to be the difference, James and co. drawing first blood with a win and cover. |
|||||||
04-30-17 | Jazz v. Clippers -3.5 | Top | 104-91 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 12 m | Show |
I'm playing on LA 10* MAIN EVENT. The Jazz had their opportunity to win this series. They're a much better team at Utah and all they needed to do was win their last game there. Having squandered that opportunity, I expect them to stumble against a determined LA team. Paul and co. showed their resolve last game, digging deep for the win. They come in with positive momentum and are going to be buoyed by the excited home crowd. While the Jazz are only 3-9-1 ATS the past 13 times that they were off an upset loss, the Clippers are 6-3 ATS (7-2 SU) off an upset win. LA wins, covering the small number along the way. |
|||||||
04-30-17 | Wizards v. Celtics OVER 215 | Top | 111-123 | Win | 100 | 26 h 37 m | Show |
I'm playing on Boston/Washington to finish OVER the total 10* BREAKFAST CLUB. I won with the Wizards in their Game 6 upset at Atlanta. That 115-99 final finished above the number and brought the OVER to 28-16 in their road games. Its also worth mentioning that the OVER was 12-6 this season when the Wizards were off a double-digit win and 9-2 when they were off an upset win. Going back a couple of seasons finds the OVER at a lucrative 26-10-1 when the Wizards had scored an 'upset' in their preivous game. While the Celtics have been a profitable 'under' team on the road, the majority of their games here at Boston have finished above the total. Both teams saw the first game of their last series finish above the total. More of the same Sunday afternoon. |
|||||||
04-27-17 | Spurs v. Grizzlies UNDER 190 | Top | 103-96 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 34 m | Show |
I'm playing on SA/Memphis to finish UNDER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. While the last few games have finished above the total, I expect to see an improved defensive effort this evening. Note that the recent high-scoring results have helped provide us with a higher O/U line than we had for the last game here. The Spurs rarely keep playing high-scorng games without mixing in a lower-scoring one; the UNDER is 4-1 the last five times their previous three or more consecutive games finished above the total. Over the years, excluding pushes, the Spurs have also seen the UNDER go 88-71, a little better than 55%, when coming off a double-digit win. With a chance to close things out, I expect them to clamp down defensively tonight, the final combined score staying beneath the relatively generous total. |
|||||||
04-27-17 | Raptors v. Bucks -1.5 | Top | 92-89 | Loss | -105 | 53 h 4 m | Show |
I'm playing on MILWAUKEE 10* PERS FAV. I won with the Raptors last game. Playing at home, the playoff-tested Raptors dominated from wire-to-wire. This is a Toronto team which rarely does things easily though. More often than not, it seems, the Raptors end up going to seven games. You may recall them winning in Game 5 of the playoffs last season against both the Pacers and the Heat, only to then go on to lose Game 6. (They'd ultimately lose Game 6 against the Cavs, too.) The last time they returned home, off a loss at Toronto, the Bucks responded with a 27-point victory. Don't count them out yet. |
|||||||
04-26-17 | Hawks v. Wizards UNDER 212 | Top | 99-103 | Win | 100 | 33 h 57 m | Show |
I'm playing on Atlanta/Washington to finish UNDER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. After both games at Atlanta topped the total, I expect a a tied series and return to Washington to lead to a lower-scoring affair. The Hawks have played lower-scoring games on the road this season. The Wizards, on the other hand, have played slightly lower-scoring games at home. Even with the results in Altanta, the Hawks have still seen the UNDER go 11-5 in first round playoff games, the past few seasons. (Going back further finds the UNDER at 50-26 their last 76 first round playoff games.) The Wizards held the Hawks to 40.5% shooting the last game here, a much lower number than we saw in Atlanta. That game stayed below the total. Expect the Wizards to improve on the defensive end and this one to do the same. |
|||||||
04-25-17 | Grizzlies v. Spurs UNDER 186.5 | Top | 103-116 | Loss | -110 | 56 h 45 m | Show |
I'm playing on San Antonio and Memphis to finish UNDER the total 10* BEST BET. With the series tied, I expect the defensive intensity to elevate for Game 5. The Spurs have seen the UNDER go 3-2 the last five times that they were tied in a playoff series. During the same stretch, the Grizzlies have seen the UNDER go 2-0 when tied in the playoffs. The last time that the Spurs gave up 110 or more points, they responded by holding high-scoring OKC to 95 next time out, a game that stayed below the total by double-digits. The last time that the Grizzlies managed triple-digits in scoring twice in a row, as they just did, they managed 90, 93, 82 and 82 in their next four games. Those two 82-point performances were the first two games here at San Antonio, as the Grizzlies connected only only 39.2% and 37.8% of their field goals. Expect the Grizzlies to again have trouble scoring, while doing enough defensively, to keep the final combined score staying beneath the total. |
|||||||
04-24-17 | Warriors v. Blazers +7.5 | Top | 128-103 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 4 m | Show |
I'm playing on PORTLAND 10* BEST BET. Admittedly, the Warriors have looked very strong. They're going to be tough for anyone to beat in a series. That doesn't mean the Blazers can't give them all they can handle here though. In fact, I expect them to do just that. Everyone has written this series off and the Game 4 lines has gotten generously high, as a result. The Blazers have played the Warriors tough here. They've only lost by more than seven points once, the last six times that they hosted the Warriors. I don't believe they're going down without a fight and I expect them to improve to 8-4 ATS their last 12, after three ore more consecutive losses. |
|||||||
04-24-17 | Bucks v. Raptors -6 | Top | 93-118 | Win | 100 | 22 h 33 m | Show |
I'm playing on TORONTO 10* MAIN EVENT. After a shaky start, the Raptors have regained home court advantage in the series. I expect them to carry the positive momentum back home with them. While the Bucks are 5-8 SU/ATS off an "upset" loss, the Raptors are 6-2 SU/ATS off an "upset" win. This line is a little lower than it was for either of the first two games here and I feel thats providing us with excellent value. Keep in mind that the Raptors are 29-14 on this floor while the Bucks are just 20-23 on the road. The Bucks average 101 ppg on the road, the Raptors average 110 ppg at home. In a pivotal game, expect homecourt and the Raptors' recent postseason experience to prove the difference. |

04-23-17 | Clippers v. Jazz -2 | Top | 98-105 | Win | 100 | 13 h 6 m | Show |
I'm playing on UTAH 10* PERS FAV. Given the situation, I feel that we're getting the Jazz at a bargain. Griffin is out for the playoffs. True, the Clippers are used to dealing with adversity and playing without Griffin and/or Paul. Still, its a major blow and their chances of advancing deep into the playoffs took a serious hit. Even with Griffin in the lineup, it was going to be tough to beat the Jazz here, in what is essentially a must-win game. The Jazz, now 29-13 at home overall, are 37-16-3 ATS the past few seasons, when attempting to avenge a home loss. The Clippers, 23-19 on the road, are only 2-6 SU the last eight time they were leading in a playoff series, 7-15 SU their last 22 in that situation. Expect the Jazz to bounce back with a win and cover. |
|||||||
04-23-17 | Rockets v. Thunder -1 | Top | 113-109 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 21 m | Show |
I'm playing on OKC 10* MAIN EVENT. I lost with the Thunder in their last game. Laying -2.5 points, they won by two. The non-cover notwithstanding, it was a solid effort, one which got them back the series. I look for the Thunder to carry the positive momentum into this afternoon's game. Now 3-1 ATS their last four when trailing in a playoff series, the Thunder are also 11-6 ATS (12-5 SU) this season, after scoring 115 or more points in their previous game. While the Rockets, 2-7 ATS overall in April, are a solid 25-17 on the road, the Thunder are a superior 29-13 here at home. The pointspread should be a non-factor this time and I expect the Thunder to finish on top. |
|||||||
04-22-17 | Warriors v. Blazers UNDER 217 | Top | 119-113 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 44 m | Show |
I'm playing on Portland and GS to finish UNDER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. After a high-scoring opener, in Game 2, the Warriors showed that they can also dominate defensively. The Blazers would manage just 81 points. They hit just 33% of their field goals, 20.6% from beyond the arc. Back home at the Moda Center, the Blazers are likely going to score more than that tonight. Still, I believe that the defensive tone has been set. The Warriors have been staying below the number all season on the road, the UNDER going 28-13 when they play away from home. Its been awhile since the Blazers lost three in a row. The last time it happened (mid-Feb) they responded by holding their opponent to less than 40% from field. Including that result, the UNDER is 7-3 the last 10 times that they'd lost three or more in a row. Look for those stats to improve here, tonight's final combined score again proving lower than many will be expecting. |

04-22-17 | Wizards v. Hawks -2.5 | Top | 98-116 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
I'm playing on ATLANTA 10* MAIN EVENT. The Hawks were relatively close in both games at Washington. The Wizards are tough to beat at home though and ultimiately prevailed. Washington won by eight points and seven points. While they're now 32-11 at home, the Wizards are only 19-22 on the road. Meanwhile, while the Hawks are now 20-23 on the road, they're 23-18 here at Atlanta. Expect the change of venue and home crowd to provide the Hawks with some life, enough to cover the small number. |

04-21-17 | Clippers v. Jazz OVER 197 | Top | 111-106 | Win | 100 | 15 h 5 m | Show |
I'm playing LA and Utah to finish OVER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. Both games at LA finished below the total. With the series shifting to Utah, I'm expecting a higher-scoring affair this evening. The Clippers have been flying 'over' the total on the road all season. The OVER is 26-15 their last 41 road games, including a 222-point affair their last visit here to Utah. While the Clippers score almost as many points on the road as they do at home, they allow considerably more. Overall, their road games are averaging 215.7 points. While they failed to reach triple-digits in either game at LA, the Jazz have scored 106, 120 and 101 their last three on this floor. Both teams have an excellent shot at hitting triple-digits here. Expect the final combined score to finish above the relatively low number, which has come down from the opening two games. |

04-21-17 | Rockets v. Thunder -2.5 | Top | 113-115 | Loss | -115 | 39 h 28 m | Show |
I'm playing on OKC 10* PERS FAV. The Thunder played much better in Game 2 but it wasn't quite enough. Down 0-2 and now moving to their homecourt, I expect an even better effort in Game 3. While the Rockets were a solid 25-16 on the road, the Thunder were an impressive 28-13 at home. With the cover in Game 2, the Thunder are now 16-9-1 ATS the last 26 times that they were trailing in a playoff series, 3-0 ATS their last three in situation. They were 31-18-1 ATS (36-14 SU) when laying points this season. I expect them to rise to the occasion and improve on those stats Friday night. |

04-19-17 | Thunder +7.5 v. Rockets | Top | 111-115 | Win | 100 | 58 h 31 m | Show |
I'm playing on OKC 10* BEST BET. Down a game, I expect Westbrook and co. to respond with a huge effort in Game 2. While the Thunder are 4-1 ATS when playing with two day's rest in between games, the Rockets are 4-6 ATS when doing so. The Thunder are 13-8 ATS off a double-digit loss. The Rockets are 12-18 ATS off a double-digit loss. Prior to Game 1, the Rockets had gone nine straight games without winning by more than seven points. Look for a determined Thunder team to give their hosts all they can handle. |

04-19-17 | Hawks v. Wizards UNDER 211 | Top | 101-109 | Win | 100 | 56 h 26 m | Show |
I'm playing on Atlanta and Washington to finish UNDER the total 10* TOTAL OF WEEK. Game 1 ended up finishing above the total. It could have easily been lower-scoring though, as only 93 points were scored by halftime. The fact that it did finish above the total has helped to drive this number up a little higher. I feel that it'll prove to be too high. The Hawks, who have still seen the UNDER go 23-11-1 their last 35 overall, have seen the UNDER go 22-11 the last 33 times that they faced a team which defeated them in the previous meeting. Expect increased defensive intensity, the final combined score staying beneath the generously high number. |

04-18-17 | Bulls v. Celtics -7 | Top | 111-97 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 26 m | Show |
I'm playing on BOSTON 10* PERS FAV. I'm not writing the Celtics off yet. While Thomas personally played well, perhaps the tragic passing of his sister had an effect on his teammates. Either way, I don't expect it to be the case here. This is a team that worked too hard, all season long, to just go down meekly in the first round. They're deep, talented and well-coached. The Bulls have been inconsistent on the road all season and they're only 16-30-1 (19-28 SU) the past 2+ seasons, off an upset win. Expect the Celtics to bounce back with a convincing win and cover. |
|||||||
04-18-17 | Bucks v. Raptors -7.5 | Top | 100-106 | Loss | -105 | 57 h 33 m | Show |
I'm playing on TORONTO 10* MAIN EVENT. The Bucks scored the upset in the opener. With their backs to the wall, I expect this well-coach and battle-tested Raptor team to respond with its best game. The Raptors, 9-4 ATS (10-3 SU) when playing with two day's rest, are 10-7 ATS off an upset loss. The Bucks may have put together an excellent defensive performance in the opener but they're just 6-18-1 ATS (7-18 SU) the past 25 times that they held their previous opponent to 85 or fewer points. Expect the Raptors to bounce back with a win and cover. |
|||||||
04-17-17 | Pacers v. Cavs -7.5 | Top | 111-117 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 42 m | Show |
I'm playing on CLEVELAND 10* PERS FAV. The Pacers had a great chance of stealing Game 1. Having failed to capitalize, I don't think they'll get another opportunity like that in Game 2. The Cavs have had their "wake-up call" and I expect them to be all business here. While the Pacers are now 13-29 on the road, the Cavs are now 32-10 at home. Throw in the fact that the Cavs are 11-7 ATS (15-3 SU) the last 18 times that they were leading in a playoff series and I'm expecting a big win and cover for the home team. |
|||||||
04-16-17 | Bulls v. Celtics -7.5 | Top | 106-102 | Loss | -105 | 73 h 44 m | Show |
I'm playing on BOSTON. I'm hearing and reading a lot about how/why the Bulls have a chance at winning this series. I'm not buying it. In my opinion, given how strong they've been here this season, the Celtics could easily be favored by more. Including a 20-point win over the Bulls here on 3/12, they're 31-12 here on the season. The Bulls, on the other hand, are just 16-25 on the road. The Celtics are deep. They're well-coached. They're the #1 seed for a reason. Expect a statement game, the Celtics serving notice that they're the real deal. *After this play was released, Isaiah Thomas' sister (Chyna Thomas) passed away after being involved in a car accident. First off, deepest sypmathies to the Thomas family. As for this play, as of now, its unknown whether or not Thomas will play. Obviously, he's a huge part of this team. So, if he feels its the right thing to do do, hopefully he decides to play through the pain. However, I referenced the Celtics' depth in my writeup for good reason. Should Thomas elect not to play, I believe this team is fully capable of rising to the occasion with a big win. Either way, I still expect a win and cover. |
|||||||
04-15-17 | Jazz v. Clippers -5 | Top | 97-95 | Loss | -110 | 53 h 12 m | Show |
I'm playing on LA 10* PERS FAV. The Clippers battled hard to earn homecourt for this matchup and I expect them to make the most of it this evening. The Clippers took three of four meetings with the Jazz this season. They won both games here at LA by double-digits. The Cippers, who have won seven straight overall, are 14-6 ATS their last 20 against teams with a winning record. They finished 29-12 here at home. The Jazz, who were just 22-19 on the road, were only 6-15-1 ATS, when getting points this season. While the Jazz were 3-6 ATS when playing with two day's rest, the Clippers were 7-4 ATS when doing so. Expect homecourt to be the difference. |
|||||||
04-15-17 | Grizzlies +9 v. Spurs | Top | 82-111 | Loss | -110 | 50 h 29 m | Show |
I'm playing on MEMPHIS 10* BEST BET. The Spurs are obviously a very good and extremely well-coached team. However, sometimes it can be hard to just "turn it on" after not playing well for a long time. The Spurs, 3-8 ATS when playing with two day's rest, are only 4-5 SU their last nine games and only one of those nine games resulted in a win of greater than six points. The Grizzlies won't be intimidated. They took two of four regular season meetings with the Spurs and both their losses came by seven or fewer points. Look for them to give their hosts all they can handle. |
|||||||
04-15-17 | Bucks v. Raptors UNDER 201 | Top | 97-83 | Win | 100 | 26 h 58 m | Show |
I'm playing on Toronto/Milwaukee to finish UNDER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. Both 2017 meetings between these teams have been considerably lower-scoring than expected. Last month's meeting at Milwaukee produced 195 combined points. The most recent meeting here at Toronto was even lower-scoring. That 1/27 game saw just 188 points scored. The Bucks have seen the UNDER go 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs the past couple of seasons. During that time, the UNDER was 7-4 in Toronto first round playoff games. With the Bucks having failed to reach 95 points in five straight games, look for those stats to improve this afternoon. |
|||||||
04-12-17 | Pistons v. Magic OVER 206.5 | Top | 109-113 | Win | 100 | 13 h 37 m | Show |
I'm playing on Orlando and Detroit to finish OVER the total. While this season's first three meetings fell below the number, there's little reason to expect much defense here. The Magic have allowed 107 or more points in eight straight games now. In four of their last five games, they've allowed more than 120. Meanwhile, the Pistons have allowed 105 or more in four of their past five games. Despite the bad defense, the Pistons have still seen three straight games stay below the number. With the OVER at 17-6-2 the last 25 times that they were off three or more consecutive 'unders,' expect a high-scoring affair that finishes above the number. |
|||||||
04-11-17 | Suns v. Kings OVER 219 | Top | 104-129 | Win | 100 | 19 h 26 m | Show |
I'm playing on Phoenix and Sacramento to finish OVER the total 10* MAIN EVENT. I successfully played on the Suns to finish 'over' the number last game. They rewarded me by putting up 124 points in a 124-111 win over the Mavs. That makes it six straight games in which they exceeded 110 points. Tonight, they'll face a Kings team which has allowed more than 110 points in four of its last six. Last time out, the Kings gave up 135 in a 263-point affair against Houston. All those points came in regulation, too. With neither team going to the playoffs, there's little reason to expect much defense tonight, either. The OVER is now 6-0 when the Suns were off a double-digit win (229, 249, 235, 223, 225 and 235 points scored!) and 19-3 after they'd scored 115 or more points in their previous game. All things considered, this number could easily be higher. Expect more "offensive fireworks." |
|||||||
04-11-17 | Thunder v. Wolves -4.5 | Top | 100-98 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 34 m | Show |
I'm playing on MINNESOTA 10* GAME OF MONTH. I expect this game to mean more to the T-Wolves. The Thunder, who are locked into the 6th seed, rallied to deliver a knockout blow to the Nuggets in their last game. That game actually meant something though, as Denver was still mathematically alive against the Blazers for the 8th spot. They'll face those same Nuggets, at OKC, again tomorrow to close out the regular season. Tonight's game really doesn't mean much though. Its a road game against a team which is playing only for pride. Westbrook has already set the triple-double record. They already know they'll play the Rockets. (We saw what happened to them in a "meaningless road game" last night.) The T-Wolves, on the other hand, are playing their regular season home finale. A win here will reward the home fans for staying with them through a tough season. I believe they're going to be motivated to deliver that win. Note that they beat the Thunder by 10 in the last meeting here. Expect them to win and cover once again, improving to 10-6 ATS when coming off three or more consecutive losses. *GOM |
|||||||
04-10-17 | Rockets v. Clippers -5.5 | Top | 96-125 | Win | 100 | 14 h 23 m | Show |
I'm playing on LA 10* PERS FAV. There are a number of factors that favor the Clippers in this one. For starters, they're playing at home, where they are a much better team. They've 27-12 here, compared to 22-19 on the road. (The Rockets are 25-15 on the road.) Also, the Clippers had yesterday off, while the Rockets are off a win at Sacramento. Additionally, the Clippers are playing with "double-revenge," as the Rockets hammered them in a couple of games earlier. Perhaps most importantly, the Rockets have already wrapped up the #3 seed while the Clippers are in a dogfight with the Jazz, who they will face in the opening round, for the #4 spot and the homecourt advantage which comes with it. While the Rockets are a surprisingly poor 5-8-1 ATS (5-9 SU) their last 14 against teams with a winning records, the Clippers are 13-6 ATS against teams with a winning record, during the same stretch. Payback time on TNT. |
|||||||
04-09-17 | Mavs v. Suns OVER 213.5 | Top | 111-124 | Win | 100 | 22 h 8 m | Show |
I'm playing on Phoenix and Dallas to finish OVER the total 10* TOTAL OF WEEK. I won with the 'over' when these teams met in Mexico City, on 1/12. They combined for 221 points in that one. Next, I won with the Suns when they upset the Mavs, at Dallas, on 3/11. On Sunday, I'm going back to the 'over.' The Suns have been putting up a lot of points recently. They scored 120 in their last game (120-99 win over the Thunder) and that marked the fifth straight game in which they exceeded 110 points. It also marked the seventh time in ther last eight that they scored a minimum of 106. Playing their regular season home finale, they should be motivated for another big offensive performance. The facts that the Suns put up such a big number last time out and that they won so convincingly are both noteworthy. Thats because the OVER is a perfect 5-0 this season (229, 249, 235, 223, and 225 points scored!) when the Suns were off a double-digit win and a profitable 18-3 after they'd scored 115 or more points in their previous game. With games here averaging over 221 points on the season and with both teams "playing out the string," this number could easily be higher. Expect some fireworks. |
|||||||
04-08-17 | Heat v. Wizards -5.5 | Top | 106-103 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 4 m | Show |
I'm playing on WASHINGTON 10* PERS FAV. The Heat beat me yesterday but that won't stop me from going against them again here. While Miami was off a hard-fought loss at Toronto, the Wizards had yesterday off. I expect a highly motivated effort from the home team. Not only is this Washington's final home game of the regular season but the Heat have already beaten them twice. Also, they know that they close out the regular season with a game at Miami on 4/12. So, if they don't beat the Heat here, they could easily be 0-4 against them for the season, a distinction which they obviously would prefer to avoid. The Heat are now 17-23 on the road. The Wizards, on the other hand, are 30-10 at home. With the Wizards also 23-12 ATS their last 35 in the "revenge" role, I say its "payback time" this evening. |
|||||||
04-07-17 | Heat v. Raptors -5 | Top | 94-96 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 58 m | Show |
I'm playing on TORONTO 10* PERS FAV. Its true that the Heat really need this game. However, the same is true of the Raptors, as they are battling for the #3 spot in the conference. Currently, the Raptors are in third place (due to tiebreaker rules) just slightly ahead of the Wizards. They'd badly like to maintain that spot and try and avoid the Cavs as long as possible. The Raptors got Lowry back last game and he makes this team much better. While the Heat are 17-22 on the road, the Raptors are 27-13 at home. The Heat get outscored on the road, the Raptors outscore teams by an average of eight points per game, here at Toronto. Thats about the margin the Raptors beat the Heat by when the teams faced each other here, a 9-point win back in November. Toronto was laying -7 for that game. Including that victory, the Raptors are 6-2 ATS (7-1 SU) their last eight as a host of the Heat. We're getting them at a lower line this time. For the regular season home finale, I feel thats providing us with excellent value. Expect another big win and cover for the Raptors. |
|||||||
04-06-17 | Nets v. Magic -2.5 | Top | 107-115 | Win | 100 | 21 h 41 m | Show |
I'm playing on ORLANDO 10* PERS FAV. The home team has won both meetings. The Magic won by seven here at Orlando back in mid-December. The Nets returned the favor with a 10-point win at Brooklyn last week. Playing at home and looking to avenge that loss, I expect a highly motivated effort from the Magic. While the Magic admittedly don't have a great (14-24) home record, its much better than the Nets' 7-31 record on the road. While the Nets are 2-5 ATS the last seven times that that they were off three or more consecutive wins, the Magic are 9-6 ATS their last 15 off three or more consecutive losses. With the Nets allowing more than 115 pgg on the road, and Orlando allowing an average of just 103 ppg here, I expect homecourt to again make the difference and for the Magic to come away with the win and cover. |
|||||||
04-04-17 | Nets v. 76ers OVER 219 | Top | 141-118 | Win | 100 | 27 h 35 m | Show |
I'm playing on Philly/Brooklyn OVER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. Both teams are long since out of it. Both will view this as a chance for a rare, and possibly last on the season, victory. I expect that to translate to plenty of offense. Each team is going to keep trying to score the entire way but the defensive intensity isn't likely to be the same as it would if one or both teams were playoff-bound. While these teams did recently play a game that stayed below the total, note that the OVER is still 13-7 the last 20 times that the 76ers faced a team with a losing record. While the 76ers allowed a combined 235 their past two games, the Nets give up more than 115 ppg on the road. Expect fireworks. |
|||||||
04-03-17 | North Carolina v. Gonzaga UNDER 154 | Top | 71-65 | Win | 100 | 38 h 27 m | Show |
I'm playing on Gonzaga/UNC to finish UNDER the total 10* MAIN EVENT. Both teams saw last game finish above the total. Those results have helped provide us with a generously high number here. I believe that it's going to prove to be too high. While UNC is obviously an explosive team, Gonzaga is better defensively than many realize. The Bulldogs have allowed an average of only 61.2 ppg (28.1 in the first half) on the season, opposing teams shooting only 36.5%. (More on that below.) The Bulldogs have been just as good defensively in the tournament too. Over their past five games, they're allowing an average of just 61.8 ppg, opponents shooting just 34.5 of their field goals. The Tar Heels, arguably also better defensively than advertised, have held opposing teams to just 40.7% field goal shooting their past five games. Some might be surprised to learn that the UNDER is a perfect 6-0 this season, when the Tar Heels have faced a team which allows 64 or fewer points per game. I'm expecting those stats to improve tonight. |
|||||||
04-03-17 | Blazers v. Wolves -1.5 | Top | 109-110 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 30 m | Show |
I'm playing on MINNESOTA 10* GAME OF WEEK. The Blazers have been roling but I expect them to finally stumble this evening. The T-Wolves would love to "play spoiler" against a team which has already beaten them twice this season. A win here gets them to .500 at home on the season. The Blazers are still just 16-23 on the road. Both teams have been involved in a lot of high-scoring games recently. The T-Wolves have hit triple-digits in five straight games, scoring 115 or more in four of those five. They should put up another big number against a Portland team which allows 109.1 (110.2 on the road) points per game. The Wolves are 18-12 ATS their last 30 against teams which allow 106 or more. Look for them to "come to play," ultimately scoring the win and cover. *GOW |
|||||||
04-02-17 | Mavs v. Bucks -6 | Top | 109-105 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
I'm playing on MILWAUKEE 10* PERS FAV. The Mavs deserve credit for hanging around as long as they did. However, they're now officially mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and I feel they may have some trouble getting up for this one. The Bucks, who will be looking to avenge an OT loss at Dallas and who have won three straight overall, are 22-17 at home. The Mavs, on the other hand, are now 10-26 on the road. The Bucks are playing with more confidence. Expect them to defend their homecourt, covering the relatively small number along the way. |
|||||||
04-01-17 | Magic v. Nets -3 | Top | 111-121 | Win | 100 | 13 h 51 m | Show |
I'm playing on BROOKLYN 10* PERS FAV. The Magic played a great game last night, leaving it all on the floor at Boston. They ultimately lost by a point though (117-116) and that figures to be a hard pill for them to swallow. Off that tough loss and playing their third game in four days, I won't be surprised if they're a little flat here. While the Nets are also off a tough loss, they at least had yesterday off. They know the Magic beat them at Orlando and they know they'll face them again, at Orlando, in less than a week. They're going to be hungry to avenge the earlier loss and to "hold serve" at home. This is the most winnable game on the rest of their schedule. Expect them to take advantage of the opportunity. |
|||||||
04-01-17 | South Carolina v. Gonzaga UNDER 138 | Top | 73-77 | Loss | -105 | 106 h 11 m | Show |
I'm playing on South Carolina and Gonzaga to finish UNDER the total 10* TOURNEY TOTAL OF YEAR. The Gamecocks are here on the strength of their defense. They allow 64.9 ppg while keeping opponents to a 39.8 field goal percentage. While the Bulldogs may be more known for their offense, they also know a thing or two about playing defense. In fact, they allow a mere 60.9 ppg, keeping opposing teams to a 36.5 fg percentage. They've elevated their defensive intensity recently, too. Over its past five games, Gonzaga is holding opponents to only 58.4 ppg and on just 34.3% shooting. When the Gamecocks face an elite defensive team like Gonzaga, they tend to play low-scoring games. In fact, the UNDER is 4-0 this season, in games which had an O/U line, when the Gamecocks faced a team which allows 64 or fewer points per game. (Their game against Vermont didn't have a total, but that was also low-scoring, a 68-50 final.) The Bulldogs have seen the UNDER go 7-3 in all tournament games, 8-4 in all neutral site games. As for the Gamecocks, they've seen the UNDER go 22-9 the last 31 times that they played a game with an O/U line in the 130s. That includes a 5-1 UNDER mark when playing on a neutral floor when the O/U line ranged from 135 to 139.5 range. With the UNDER also at 18-9 the last 27 times that the Gamecocks were listed as underdogs, I'm expecting a relatively low-scoring affair. |
|||||||
03-31-17 | Kings v. Pelicans OVER 207.5 | Top | 89-117 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 27 m | Show |
I'm playing on Sacramento and NO to finish OVER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. I'm expecting some fireworks in this one. The Kings gave up 112 points last time out. They've now allowed 110 or more in five of their last seven. The Pelians gave up 118 last time out, scoring 112 themselves. While Cousins will now be on the home team, these teams combined for 227 points the last time that the Kings played here, 219 the previous game here. Including those results, the OVER is 76-46 the last 122 games here overall. Expect those stats to improve tonight. |
|||||||
03-31-17 | Spurs v. Thunder +1.5 | Top | 100-95 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 22 m | Show |
I'm playing on OKC 10* MAIN EVENT. I expect the Thunder to be a little more "up" for this game. The Spurs just lost a big one against the Warriors which cost them the chance at the #1 spot. They're locked into the #2 seed, this game now means little. They're 2-4 ATS their last six off a double-digit loss, 8-12-1 ATS in that situation the past couple seasons. The home team has won both meetings, each time by double-digits. With the Thunder at 27-10 (25-11-1 ATS) home, they could easily be favored. I expect them to score the "upset." |
|||||||
03-31-17 | Nuggets v. Hornets -2 | Top | 114-122 | Win | 100 | 13 h 42 m | Show |
I'm playing on CHARLOTTE 10* PERS FAV. Both teams really need this one but I like the way the Hornets are playing right now much better. Throw in the fact that they're also at home and this line could easily be higher. The Nuggets are off b2b losses. They got crushed by 25 points by the Pelicans in their last home game and followed it up with a pivotal 9-point loss at Portland. They've now lost four of fix. Charlotte, on the other hand, knocked off the Raptors last time out and has won five of its last seven. While Charlotte may be a relatively modest 21-17 at home, the Nuggets are just 15-21 on the road. The Hornets won by 10 at Denver a few weeks ago and I look for them to record the series sweep tonight. |
|||||||
03-30-17 | Nets v. Pistons -6 | Top | 89-90 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
I'm playing on DETROIT 10* PERS FAV. The Pistons badly need a victory and the Nets should provide them with the perfect opportunity to get one. Detroit has lost five in a row and no game on the remaining schedule will see them favored by this much. The fact that the Nets have already beaten them twice should only provide further motivation. Even with a 1-point loss last game (still covered) the Pistons are 23-15 at home. That compares favorably with the Nets' 6-30 road record. The Nets were favored last game but still lost. They're 0-2 SU/ATS when off a loss when favored. With the cover last time out, the Pistons are now 8-3 ATS when coming off three or more consecutive losses. Look for them to bounce back and record a convincing victory. |
|||||||
03-29-17 | Wizards v. Clippers -5 | Top | 124-133 | Win | 100 | 17 h 21 m | Show |
I'm playing on LA 10* PERS FAV. The Wizards had to fight hard to beat the Lakers last night. While they don't have to travel, they're still in a tough back-to-back spot. While its true that they still have an outside shot at catching the Cavs for the #2 seed, given that they clinched the division last night, their first division title in 38 years, a letdown could easily be in order. Thats not the case for the Clippers. LA, currently in 5th in the West, is well-rested and fighting hard to get the fourth spot. As you're likely aware, the #4 seed has homecourt advantage while the #5 seed does not. After collapsing against the Kings last time out and having already lost to these same Wizards at Washington, the Clippers are going to be extremely motivated. Look for them to be both hungrier and fresher and for that to ulimately lead to a win and cover. |
|||||||
03-29-17 | Hawks v. 76ers OVER 207.5 | Top | 99-92 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 52 m | Show |
I'm playing on Atlanta and Philly to finish OVER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. Both these teams saw yesterday's games finish below the total. However, I'm expecting some fireworks this evening. The last time that the 76ers played the second of b2b games, they combined with the Magic for 221 points. Their two previous games in that situation produced 234 and 242 points, respectively. Thats an average of more than 232 points per game. Including those results, the OVER is 12-5 when the 76ers played their second game in two days. I'm expecting another high-scoring affair. |
|||||||
03-28-17 | Suns v. Hawks -7.5 | Top | 91-95 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 8 m | Show |
I'm playing on ATLANTA 10* ANNIHILATOR. The Hawks are on a losing streak. A look at their upcoming schedule reveals that they won't get a better opportunity than this one to stop the bleeding. After this, five of their next eight come on the road. The three remaining home games, after this one, are against Boston, Cleveland and Charlotte. In other words, they really need to take advantage of facing a Phoenix team which has lost eight straight and which is 10-30 on the road. A look at the Suns' 8-game skid shows that they allowed a minimum of 107 points in all eight of those games. Over their past three games, they've allowed 126, 130 and 120. The Hawks beat them by 13 here last season. I'm expecting another double-digit victory. |
|||||||
03-27-17 | Pelicans v. Jazz -7 | Top | 100-108 | Win | 100 | 12 h 22 m | Show |
I'm playing on UTAH. The Jazz have won both this season's meetings and I expect them to have the edge again this evening. While the Pelicans are off a win at Denver yesterday, the Jazz had the day off. Thats noteworthy as New Orleans is just 4-9-1 ATS (4-10 SU) when playing the second of b2b games. Off a 13-point loss, the Jazz, who are 5-3 ATS (6-2 SU) off a double-digit loss, figure to be in a foul mood. The Pelicans are are 0-2-1 ATS (0-3 SU) when matched up against a team which allows 98 or fewer points per game. With the Jazz allowing only 96.7 ppg (94.5 at home) I'm expecting a win and cover for the home team. |

I'm playing on DALLAS 10* BEST BET. The home team has won each of this season's game convincingly. The Thunder won by 11 at OKC. The Mavs won by 15 here at Dallas. I expect homecourt to make the difference again here. Off a loss last time out and with their next five on the road, the Mavs know they need to take care of business tonight. While the Mavs had yesterday off, the Thunder are off a hard-fought loss against the Rockets. The last time that they played the second of b2b games, they lost at Phoenix. Including that result, they're just 3-9 the last dozen times that they played the second of b2b games. While the Thunder are now 14-21 on the road, the Mavs are 21-17 at home. The Mavs badly need this one. Look for them to have the fresher legs and to play with a sense or urgency, en route to an important win. |

03-26-17 | 76ers v. Pacers -8.5 | Top | 94-107 | Win | 100 | 19 h 9 m | Show |
I'm playing on INDIANA 10* PERS FAV. Off back-to-back losses, the Pacers can't afford another setback here. While they've admittedly played much better in recent weeks, the 76ers are still an ugly 10-26 on the road. The Pacers, on the other hand, are 25-11 at home. The Pacers are a perfect 6-0 the last six times that they hosted the 76ers. They won those games by a combined 72 points, an average of a dozen points per victory. In five of those six games, including this season's earlier meeting, the Pacers were laying double-digits. However, we're only laying single-digits this time. As I'm expecting the Pacers to pull away for a double-digit win, I feel the lower line is providing us with excellent value. |

03-26-17 | South Carolina v. Florida UNDER 135 | Top | 77-70 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 10 m | Show |
I'm playing on Florida/South Carolina to finish UNDER the total 10* BEST BET. These teams are both capable of playing very stingy defense. We saw that when they faced each other in the first of two meetings this season. That game produced a mere 110 combined points. (The rematch was higher-scoring.) On the season, the Gators allow an average of 66.2 points per game. The Gamecocks allow an average of 64.8. South Carolina held Baylor to a mere 50 points last time out. Florida is only a couple of games removed from limiting Virginia to only 39. Note that the UNDER is 8-2 the last 10 times that the Gamecocks were off a game in which they allowed 60 or fewer points. Going back further finds the UNDER at 22-7 when the Gamecocks were in that situation. Also, note that the UNDER is now 18-8 the last 26 times that the Gamecocks were listed as underdogs. With the UNDER also 4-1 the last five times that the Gators played with one or less day's worth of rest in between games, I'm expecting a low-scoring affair. |
|||||||
03-26-17 | Nets v. Hawks -6.5 | Top | 107-92 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 13 m | Show |
I'm playing on ATLANTA. The Hawks badly need a victory and a visit from the Nets should provide them with the perfect opportunity. While the Nets are 5-30 on the road, the Hawks are still 19-17 at home. When the Hawks hosted the Nets a few weeks ago, they were laying -10 points. When they played at Brooklyn in January, they were laying -8.5 points. They won those two games by an average of 12.5 points. This afternoon, as a result of recent results, we're getting a far lower line to work with. I feel thats providing us with excellent value on what should be a highly motivated home team. |
|||||||
03-25-17 | Wolves v. Blazers -7 | Top | 100-112 | Win | 100 | 15 h 41 m | Show |
I'm playing on PORTLAND 10* PERS FAV. These teams are going in opposite directions. Fighting for a playoff spot, the Blazers are now 9-3 SU and 8-4 ATS in March. Last time out, they blew out the Knicks. They've since had a day off. On the other hand, the T-Wolves are now 0-5 SU/ATS their last five games. They've given up an average of 118.6 ppg during that stretch. Off last night's loss at LA, the T-Wolves are now 10-25 SU and 13-22 ATS on the road. Note that the T-Wolves are also 11-33 SU their last 44 when playing the second of b2b games. The Blazers won by six when these teams met at Minnesota on New Year's Day. Playing at home, with more to play for and with the schedule in their favor, I expect an even bigger margin of victory tonight. |
|||||||
03-25-17 | Oregon +7.5 v. Kansas | Top | 74-60 | Win | 100 | 12 h 11 m | Show |
I'm playing on OREGON 10* BEST BET. Needless to say, Kansas is a very strong team. The Jayhawks have been extremely impressive, blowing out all three opponents that they faced. Teams rarely crush every opponent though and I expect them to get their first real test here. The Ducks are also a very good team, well-balanced, experienced and well-coached. They've also shown an ability to win "close games." They won their last two games by one point and three points. While that may not be as impressive as what Kansas has done, I expect that "close game experience" to serve them well here. After scoring 90 or more in all three games, Kansas can obviously score points with the best of them. That doesn't figure to phase the Ducks though. They're 25-12 ATS their last 37 against teams that score 77 or more points per game, 6-1 SU/ATS their last seven. With the Jayhawks only 5-8 ATS when playing a game with an O/U line in the 150s, I'm taking the generous points. |

03-24-17 | South Carolina v. Baylor -3 | Top | 70-50 | Loss | -115 | 94 h 35 m | Show |
I'm playing on BAYLOR 10* GAME OF YEAR. As many of you are likely aware, my biggest play from the second round was on South Carolina over Duke. So, I'm certainly aware of what the Gamecocks have done thus far and respect them as a team. That said, they had a very big advantage in their first two games, as they were able to play in their home state. That's no longer the case, as they'll be facing Baylor at MSG. Having the support of the crowd was a huge help in beating Marquette and Duke. The Gamecocks defense is their strength. However, the Bears are every bit as good in that departement. The Gamecocks allow 65.2 ppg. The Bears allow only 63.5. Baylor's zone defense should match up very well against a South Carolina team which typically doesn't shoot well from beyond the arc. While the Gamecocks don't score as many points on the road as they do at home, the Bears score just as many points on the road. South Carolina connects on 41.9% of its field goals on the road and overall, the Bears hit 47.7% of their shots on the road. While South Carolina is averaging 73.4 ppg on 40% shooting its past five games, Baylor is averaging 76.6 ppg its last five, connecting on a whopping 49.3% of its field goals. Indeed, the offense is currently clicking on all cylinders. With both Villanova and Duke out of the way, the Bears are the highest seed left in the East Region. Note that coach Scott Drew is now 9-2 against teams with a lower seed. The Bears are well-coached, athletic, experienced and tough on both sides of the ball. Expect them to punch their ticket to the Elite 8, covering the small number along the way. |

03-24-17 | Nuggets v. Pacers -1.5 | Top | 125-117 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
I'm playing on INDIANA 10* GAME OF WEEK. The Pacers have alternated wins and losses for 14 straight games now. Off a loss at Boston, I expect them to bounce back and continue that pattern for at least another day. Both these teams are much better on their home floor. Off an impressive win against the Cavs last time out, the Nuggets are 20-17 at home. However, they're just 14-20 on the road. Meanwhile, the Pacers are an ugly 11-25 on the road but an impressive 25-10 at home. Last time on this floor, they beat Utah by seven. That brought them to a perfect 5-0 here, dating back to 2/24. All five of those wins came by a minimum of four points and they came by an average of nearly 12. The Pacers won by four when they hosted the Nuggets last season, a game in which they were laying -9.5 points. Obviously, we're getting a far more favorable line here. The Nuggets crushed the Pacers 140-112 when these teams met at London back in January. Playing at home, I expect the Pacers to get some payback this evening. *GOW |

03-23-17 | Suns v. Nets OVER 223 | Top | 98-126 | Win | 100 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
I’m playing on Phoenix and Brooklyn to finish OVER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. The Suns have seen recent games finish below the total. However, that 'under' streak should come to an end this evening. Neither team is going to the playoffs. Facing a fellow non-conference team from the opposite conference, we shouldn't see much in terms of defensive intensity. Of course, neither plays much defense at the best of times. The Suns allow 112.5 ppg, 113.3 ppg on the road. The Nets allow 113.6 ppg. These teams combined for 226 points when they met at Phoenix. Now, they meet at Brooklyn where the OVER is 7-3-1 when the O/U line was listed at 210 or greater. The Suns have seen the OVER go 20-11 when facing teams which allow 106 or more ppg. Going back further finds the OVER at 35-18 when they were facing a team which allows 106 or more ppg. Meanwhile, the Nets have seen the OVER go 15-8 when facing a team that scores 106 or more ppg and 20-8 in all their non-conf games overall. Expect fireworks. |

03-22-17 | Knicks v. Jazz UNDER 203 | Top | 101-108 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 22 m | Show |
I'm playing on NY/Utah to finish UNDER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. Off three straight losses, I expect the Jazz to step up their defensive intensity tonight. The Jazz have been off three or more losses four times this season. All four of their next games produced less than 203 combined points (196, 191, 202, 199) and all four of those games stayed below the posted total. Overall, games here are averaging only 194.5 points this season. Utah's last five games are averaging 192.8 points. The Knicks' last visit here had a final score of 106-85, a combined 191 points. That one only had an O/U line of 193. We're getting a considerably higher number than that here and I feel thats providing us with excellent value. |

03-22-17 | Pacers +8 v. Celtics | Top | 100-109 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 20 m | Show |
I'm playing on INDIANA 10* BEST BET. These teams have met twice so far this season. Boston won both meetings. However, both were decided by seven points or less. In fact, the last four meetings were all decided by single-digits. Speaking of close games, the last three Celtic games overall have been decided by eight or fewer points. The Pacers have won three of their last five, only one of those five games coming by more than six. Off their win against the Jazz, Jeff Teague said this of the Pacers' effort: "We played well tonight, we played hard, we were a group out there. Defensively, I think we did a really great job." Look for a highly motivated effort from the revenge-minded Pacers as they take this game down to the wire with an excellent shot at the upset. |
|||||||
03-21-17 | Bulls v. Raptors -6.5 | Top | 120-122 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
I'm playing on TORONTO 10* PERS FAV. Enough is enough. The Bulls have dominated the Raptors for years. The Raptors are the better team right now though and are determined to make things right by finally beating their nemesis. Dwayne Casey said this of beating Chicago: "It should be high on our radar." With the Raptors off a big weekend and back-to-back double-digit wins, now should be the ideal time. They're 12-7 ATS after scoring 115 or more and 14-6 ATS off a double-digit win. While the Raptors are 23-12 at home, the Bulls are 13-22 on the road. With the Bulls also at 2-6 SU/ATS after allowing 90 or fewer points in their previous game, I say its "payback time" on Tuesday. |
|||||||
03-20-17 | Warriors v. Thunder OVER 221 | Top | 111-95 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 11 m | Show |
I'm playing on GSW/OKC to finish OVER the total 10* BEST BET. While the Warriors have been on an 'under' streak, this one should be very high-scoring. The last time that these teams faced each other, they combined for 244 points. That was here at OKC, on 2/11. Though their recent opponents haven't scored many, the Warriors continue to put up big numbers. Last time out, they scored 117. In their preivous game, they scored 122. Now, they'll take on an opponent which can also put up big numbers. The Thunder have scored at least 110 points in four straight games, averaging 117. Overall, the Thunder have seen the OVER go 11-6-3 their last 20 games. While Thunder fans won't get to see Durant, their former star, expect them to still get to see another exciting "shootout," one which finishes well above the posted total. |
|||||||
03-20-17 | 76ers v. Magic -4.5 | Top | 109-112 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 50 m | Show |
I'm playing on ORLANDO 10* PERS FAV. Admittedly, the 76ers have been playing well recently. However, in this case, I believe that the Magic are favored for good reason. While the 76ers are off a win against Boston yesterday and now playing their third game in the past four days, the Magic are well-rested. Since closing their road trip with a win over the Suns, the Magic have had the past couple of days off. They're healthier than their guests and they should be motivated to reward the home fans with a victory. Note that the Magic are 15-9 ATS the last 24 times that they played their previous three games on the road. When the Magic do win, they tend to win by a fairly comfortable margin. They've won five games since the 76ers beat them by a point here back in early February. All five of those victories came by a minimum of six points. Look for them to have the fresher legs tonight and for that to ultimately make the difference. |

03-19-17 | South Carolina +7.5 v. Duke | Top | 88-81 | Win | 100 | 24 h 18 m | Show |
I'm playing on SOUTH CAROLINA 10* 2nd Rnd GAME OF YEAR. The Gamecocks aren't getting much respect here. However, their second half performance against Marquette was extremely impressive and gives them a ton of positive momentum. If you missed it, South Carolina was losing at halftime of that game. However, the Gamecocks delievered a dominant 54-33 second half performance. Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski had this to say of the Gamecocks: "I thought over the course of the game their physicality wore us down." Allowing only 64.7 ppg, the Gamecocks are one of the better defensive teams in the country. When you combine hot shooting with that excellent defense, they're a much stronger team than many probably realize. Note that they were 7-1 SU this season, after scoring 80 or more points in their previous game. That includes a 4-0 SU record in 2017. In case, you haven't heard, the Gamecocks are getting to play these games in their own state, roughly 100 miles from their own campus. Essentially, that makes this very much like a home game for them. They'll absolutely have the crowd behind them. If that seems unusual, its because it is. The reason? The NCAA pulled its first-weekend games from Greensboro, due to the state of North Carolina's controversial HB2 (House Bill 2) otherwise known as "The Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act." In fact, if not for HB2, or if had been rejected or repealed, Duke would be the team which would be getting to play in its home state. Instead, we've got a team which plays outstanding defense, coming in with positive momentum off its 55-point second half and playing in front of a supportive crowd. While they had some trouble outside their state at times, the Gamecocks lost only three games in the state of South Carolina this season AND none of those losses came by more than seven points. Expect them to give the Blue Devils all they can handle. |

03-19-17 | Michigan State v. Kansas -8 | Top | 70-90 | Win | 100 | 21 h 49 m | Show |
I'm playing on KANSAS 10* PERS FAV. These schools faced each other in November of last season. The Spartans (+4.5) scored the upset in that one. I believe the gap between the teams is significantly wider for Sunday's "rematch" though. While the Spartans have talent and are obviously well-coached, they're also young. Currently, in my opinion, this is not one of Izzo's stronger MSU teams. On the other hand, a recent loss to TCU notwithstanding, this is a very strong Kansas team. Off a 100-62 destruction of Cal-Davis, the Jayhawks were arguably as impressive as any team in the tournament in the opening round. While the Spartans also looked good in beating Miami, they've still lost three of their last five games. In fact, they've lost nine times since early January. Those losses came within the Big Ten. However, when matched up against elite non-conference competition, the Spartans also often struggled. They lost by 21 against Kentucky, by 15 against Baylor and by nine against Duke. Speaking of Kentucky, Baylor and Duke, Kansas beat all three of those teams. They even beat Baylor twice. The Spartans are 0-3 ATS their last three as neutral court underdogs in the 6.5 to 9 range. Izzo may have gotten the better of Self in four of six meetings since Self came to Kansas, but Self has the superior side this time. The Jayhawks are 19-1 SU the last 20 times that they scored 80 or more points. Expect them to improve on those stats, picking up the cover along the way. |

03-19-17 | Suns v. Pistons -9.5 | Top | 95-112 | Win | 100 | 19 h 33 m | Show |
I'm playing on DETROIT 10* PERS FAV. The Pistons are healthier and they should be hungrier. The Pistons' current 3-game losing streak has seen them fall out of the top eight spots in the East. They desperately need to stop the bleeding here. While the Suns are also off three straight losses, unlike the Pistons, they're currently playing out the string. Note that the Suns are without Bledsoe, Knight, Bender and Chandler. Also, while Booker is probable, as of this writing, Barbosa is questionable. Detroit's Reggie Jackson had this to say: "We are not panicking. Everybody has had their run, so 13 games left, I know in my mind I am bound to make one before it happens, so I am good. I plan to be in the playoffs. We are going to keep chasing it each and every day. I love my team and they are optimistic, just as much as I am. We are going to keep attacking this." While the Suns did beat the Pistons at Phoenix, they're just 10-25 on the road. The Pistons, on the other hand, are 22-14 at home. With the Suns allowing 112.5 ppg, note that the Pistons are 8-3 ATS their last 11 against teams which allow 106 or more points per game. Look for the Pistons to bounce back with a big win, improving to 7-2 ATS their last nine, after losing their previous three in a row. |

03-18-17 | Bucks v. Warriors OVER 217 | Top | 92-117 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 59 m | Show |
I'm playing on Milwaukee and GS to finish OVER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. The Warriors have been on an "under" streak recently. Thats helped to bring this O/U line down a little lower than it would have been earlier in the season. I feel thats providing us with excellent value, as I'm expecting a high-scoring affair. Even with the average coming down a bit recently, lets not forget that games here are still averaging 223.4 combined points this season. The Warriors scored 122 themselves on Thursday, Klay Thompson, lighting up the Magic. They average 119.9 ppg here. When these teams met earlier, at Milwaukee, they combined for 245 points. By halftime, they'd already combined for 135. The last time the Bucks played here, the teams combined for 233 points. Expect to see a similar combined number here. |

03-18-17 | Middle Tennessee v. Butler -3.5 | Top | 65-74 | Win | 100 | 36 h 21 m | Show |
I'm playing on BUTLER 10* PERS FAV. The Blue Raiders were certainly impressive in their opening round upset of Minnesota. However, I believe they're a little over-valued here, based partly on the fact that everyone remembers them from last year, when they upset Michigan State. I expect them to find things considerably more difficult against a tough Butler team. While everyone seems to remember the Blue Raiders' upset of the Spartans, many seem to have forgotten what happened to them in the next round. In case you forgot, they got destroyed (75-50) by Syracuse. (While I didn't play a side in that game, I did cash a ticket on the 'under.') Like Syracuse proved to be last year, I believe this is a very dangerous Butler team. When the Bulldogs are "on," they can beat any team in the country. Indeed, the Bulldogs beat Villanova, TWICE. As impressive as MTSU's record was, they really didn't have a very difficult schedule. With their opening round victory, the Bulldogs are now 4-1 ATS in neutral court games. Going back further finds them at a profitable 71-34 ATS, excluding pushes, their last 105 lined neutral court games. That includes a 24-8 ATS mark in the "Big Dance," 5-0 ATS their last five. Look for Butler's games against the likes of Villanova to pay dividends here, the Bulldogs advancing and covering the small number along the way. |

03-17-17 | Wichita State v. Dayton +6 | Top | 64-58 | Push | 0 | 24 h 30 m | Show |
I'm playing on DAYTON 10* BEST BET. Its not often that you find a #10 seed favored by this much over a #6 seed. While Wichita State admittedly, deserved a better seed, I don't feel that the Shockers should be laying this many points against a very competitive Dayton team. The Flyers had seven losses this season. A look at those losses shows that only one came by greater than six points and that was more than two months ago. The other six losses all came by six or fewer points. This is a team which beat Rhode Island twice and split with VCU. The Flyers nearly knocked off both St. Mary's and Northwestern. The Shockers, 7-15 ATS their last 22 tournament games, were only 3-4 ATS in neutral site games. That included an 0-2 ATS mark when listed as neutral court favorites in the -3.5 to -6 range. Don't be "shocked" when this game comes down to the wire, Dayton improving to 5-1-1 ATS its last seven, when getting points. |

03-17-17 | Rhode Island v. Creighton -1 | Top | 84-72 | Loss | -110 | 115 h 9 m | Show |
I'm playing on CREIGHTON 10* GAME OF THE YEAR. While I respect the Rams, I believe that they're in over their heads here. True, the Rams come in on a roll, while the Bluejays have been a little inconsistent in recent weeks. Thats kept the line lower than it could have been, essentially making the pointspread a non-factor. Not bad when considering that Creighton is a #6 seed, facing an #11 seed. After an 18-1 start, Creighton lost its starting point guard, Maurice Watson, to injury. Admittedly, that was a blow to the team. It also took a toll when Watson was charged with sexual assault a few weeks later. This is a well-coached team thougha dn the adversity figures to have brought them closer together. Creighton's Ronnie Harrell Jr noted: "It's easy to get caught up in everything that's going on around you that you forget what's happening in front of you. So we've talked as a team, coaches included, about just staying in the moment, having each other's back as well as having everybody else's back. So I think that was the main thing for us, and I think we've done a great job of that." Creighton coach Doug McDermott had this to say of his team: "For us to be seeded as one of the top 24 teams in the country, given everything we've been through, it's a testament to the will and togetherness, the cohesiveness of this group." While many seem down on the Bluejays, keep in mind that they beat Providence by double-digits and then knocked off a good Xavier team to advance to the Big East finals. Thought they lost (to Villanova) when they got there, this is still a team which has proven capable of rising to the occasion and playing the #1 team in the country in their last game, at MSG, figures to help them here. McDermott went on to say: "It's one thing for me to talk about what it's like, but to experience it and feel it, what the Garden is like on championship Saturday, it's something that's pretty incredible. And our experience here this week is going to help us moving forward and, I think, help us in the NCAA Tournament." While the Rams are 0-3 SU/ATS their last three against Big East teams, the Bluejays were a perfect 13-0 SU (8-3 ATS in lined games) this season, when facing a non-conference opponent. They're also 11-3-1 ATS (12-3 SU) their last 15 as a neutral court favorite of three or fewer points, or a game where the line is a pick'em. Throw in the fact the BlueJays are 5-1 the last six times that they played with five or six day's rest and I'm backing the higher seed. |

03-16-17 | Magic v. Warriors -13.5 | Top | 92-122 | Win | 100 | 24 h 20 m | Show |
I'm playing on GOLDEN STATE 10* PERS FAV. The Warriors haven't covered in awhile but this should be a good spot to break though with a blowout win. While the Warriors have tomorrow off, the Magic play at Phoenix tomorrow. That's a far more winnable game, obviously. Once the Warriors jump all over them, they're likely to start thinking about tomorrow and may not fight as hard to try and get back in the game. In their last three games, the Magic have allowed 121, 116 and 120 points. Since they only average 99.9 ppg, that makes keeping up tough. Note that they're 7-12 ATS (4-15 SU) against teams which average 106 or more ppg. Now, they'll face a GSW team which still averages a whopping 119.1 ppg. The Warriors won the first meeting by 20 points. With the Magic only 12-25 ATS their last 37, after allowing 115 or more ppg, look for this one to also turn ugly. |

03-16-17 | Vermont v. Purdue UNDER 134.5 | Top | 70-80 | Loss | -110 | 70 h 51 m | Show |
I'm playing on Vermont and Purdue to finish UNDER the total 10* OPENING RND TOTAL OF YEAR. Both these teams are very capable defensively. Perhaps as much as any team in the tournament, the Catamounts are here on the strength of their defense. Over its last five games, Vermont has allowed 53, 41, 41, 51 and 50 points. Thats right, the Catamounts have allowed 53 or fewer points in five straight games now. For the season, they allowed an average of 61.9 ppg, by far the best mark in the America East Conference. Note that the UNDER is 6-0-1 over the years when Vermont made it to the NCAA tournament. This season, five of Vermont's six tournament games stayed below the number. Of course, the Boilermakers also know a thing or two about playing exceptional defense. They allowed 74 points in their last game, a loss to Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament. However, that game went to OT and they'd only alllowed 66 in regulation. Thats in line with the 67.2 ppg which they allowed on average this season. Note that the UNDER was 2-0 the last two times that Purdue faced a team which came in allowing 64 or fewer points. Both Northwestern and Wisconsin were allowing less than 64 ppg when the Boilers faced them. Purdue raised its own defensive intensity in those games, allowing less than 60 points in each of those games. Facing this strong defensive Vermont team, I expect Purdue to again raise its defensive intensity, leading to the final combined score again staying below the total. |

03-16-17 | East Tennessee State v. Florida -10 | Top | 65-80 | Win | 100 | 66 h 0 m | Show |
I'm playing on FLORIDA 10* PERS FAV. True, the Gators had some trouble with Vanderbilt at the end of the year and come in with three losses in four games. Those results have keep this line a little lower, in my opinion, could easily have been. Not only are the Gators a much stronger team, they also get to play at Orlando, quite close to home. While the Buccaneers were just 2-2 ATS as underdogs this season, the Gators were 17-8 ATS when laying points. The Bucs, who don't score nearly as many points on the road as they do at home, haven't played too many good teams. One "decent" team they faced was Datyon. The Flyers beat them by 14. The Bucs do have an elite player in senior guard TJ Cromer. However, he's just one player and the Gators are going to be paying extra attention to him. He'll get his points, but it won't be enough. In addition to being a stronger overall team which is playing at a favorable venue, I like the fact that Florida hasn't had as much time off in between games. The Gators last played on 3/10 compared to the Bucs last playing on 3/6. Thats a pretty big gap in between games for the Bucs - the longest they had this season. While the Bucs were 8-9 ATS in lined games against teams which score 77 or more points this season, the Gators are 4-1 ATS their last five against teams which score 77 or more. Look for them to "bounce back," serving notice that "they're back" with a double-digit victory. |

03-15-17 | Wolves v. Celtics OVER 210.5 | Top | 104-117 | Win | 100 | 24 h 54 m | Show |
I'm playing on Minnesota and Boston to finish OVER the total 10* O/U BEST BET. While this season's earlier meeting fell below the total, both of last season's games topped the number. In fact, those two averaged 229 combined points. This season, Boston home games overall are averaging 214.1 points. The Celts average 109 here but allow 105.1. Last game marked their first back home, off a fairly long road trip. Now, having been home for a bit and having had a couple of days off, the Celts should be ready to put up a big number against a Minnesota team which allows more 106.5 ppg on the road. Note that the OVER is 7-3 when the Celts played with two day's rest in between games and 8-4 when they were off a double-digit win. With the T-Wolves off a 119-104 win against Washington, a resulte that brought the OVER go 18-9 in their "non-conf" games, I'm expecting another high-scoring affair. |

03-14-17 | Blazers v. Pelicans OVER 216.5 | Top | 77-100 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 22 m | Show |
I'm playing on Portland and N.O. to finish OVER the total. The Pelicans offense got on track in a big way last time out, a 125-122 win over Charlotte. True, some (23) of those points came in OT. However, the game was still already comfortably above the number before the end of regulation. Davis went off for 46 points and 21 boards. That was against a Charlotte team which came in allowing an average of only 101 points per game at home. Now, the Pelicans will face a Portland team which allows more than 110 per game on the road. These teams combined for 223 in the earlier meeting here. Expect another high-scoring affair. |

03-13-17 | Bucks v. Grizzlies -4 | Top | 93-113 | Win | 100 | 24 h 21 m | Show |
I'm playing on MEMPHIS 10* PERS FAV. Recent results have kept this line lower than it could have been. The Bucks have been rolling while the Grizzlies have been reeling. I feel that the low line is providing us with very fair value on what should be a desperate home team. The Grizzlies badly need a victory. After this, they've got six of their next seven on the road, the lone home game during that stretch coming against San Antonio. While the recent results haven't been there for the Grizzlies, it hasn't been from lack of effort. Coach David Fizdale made these comments after yesterday's practice: "As long as I see that we’re getting in the gym early, staying connected, staying positive and getting shots up then I’m encouraged. Obviously, we’ve got to iron some things out and get us playing better basketball. But I just keep looking at the body of work. Obviously, we’re disappointed because we feel like we’ve let the fans down some with these losses at home. But if our fans knew how hard these guys were working behind the scenes on being a better basketball team they’d be happy to know that. We’re going to work our way out of the mud. That’s all it is. We've hit adversity. Its punched us in the face. We have to figure out how to get up ..." The Grizzlies, who lost at Milwaukee earlier in the season, are 17-12 ATS (19-10 SU) when playing with 'revenge.' They still only allow 97.3 ppg on this floor. They're still 19-14 here, which compares favorably to the Bucks' 12-17 mark on the road. While they've now lost three in a row at Milwaukee, the Grizzlies have dominated the Bucks here at Memphis. They won by 20 when they last hosted the Bucks and that brought them to 5-0 SU the last five meetings here. The last four of those all come by a minimum of nine points, the last two by double-digits. The Grizzlies, who are expected to bring back Tony Allen to the starting lineup tonight, held the Bucks to 90 or fewer points in ALL five games. Expect them to bounce back with a strong defensive effort, en route to a much needed win and cover. |

03-12-17 | Heat v. Pacers -3.5 | Top | 98-102 | Win | 100 | 24 h 35 m | Show |
I'm playing on INDIANA 10* MAIN EVENT. The Heat have been on an impressive run and they won again yesterday. I expect their roll to come to an end today though. While the Heat were busy playing Toronto yesterday, the Pacers were resting, waiting for them. Its true that the Heat did have a couple of days off, prior to yesterday's game. However, they'd previously played three games in four days, including an emotional home-and-home vs. Lebron and the Cavs. So, this will still mark their sixth game in the past 10 days. To look at it another way, they've played one more game in March than Indiana has. The Pacers have only played two home games since the All Star Break and they've won them both. In fact, both wins (Memphis and Detroit) came by double-digits. Overall, they're 22-10 at home, compared to a 14-20 road mark for Miami. Playing with revenge from a pair of losses at Miami, look for the rested, revenge-minded Pacers to take care of business on their home floor. |

03-12-17 | Bulls v. Celtics OVER 208.5 | Top | 80-100 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 7 m | Show |
I'm playing on Chicago and Boston to finish OVER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. Both teams check in on 'under' streaks. Those results have helped to keep this O/U line lower than what it could easily have been. I expect it to prove to be too low. Keep in mind that the O/U line was 214 when these teams met a few weeks ago. True, that one stayed below the total, finishing with "only" 207 points. Note that game could have easily been higher-scoring, as only two points were scored in the final 1:20. The Bulls gave up 115 last time out. The Celtics gave up 119. This season's games here at Boston are averaging 215.2 points. All things considered, the number could easily be higher. Expect plenty of points. |

03-12-17 | Michigan v. Wisconsin -1.5 | Top | 71-56 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
I'm playing on WISCONSIN 10* GAME OF WEEK. Obviously, both teams have played very well to get this far. I like what the Badgers have done more though. Michigan beat Minnesota by an 84-77 margin yesterday. However, Wisconsin destroyed Northwestern by a 76-48 margin. Prior to that, the Badgers beat Indiana by double-digits on Friday. Michigan, on the other hand, needed OT to get past Purdue. Playing those extra OT minutes - and having to fight harder than the Badgers - combined with the fact that the Wolverines also had to play Thursday while Wisconsin had that day off, figures to catch up with the Wolverines here. The Badgers have been the much stronger defensive team all season. They allowed 61.5 ppg, opposing teams shooting 40.7% from the field. On the other hand, Michigan allowed 65.5 ppg, opposing teams shooting 46.5%. Look for the Badgers' fresher legs and superior defense to be the difference. |

03-11-17 | Wizards v. Blazers -2.5 | Top | 125-124 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 36 m | Show |
I'm playing on PORTLAND 10* PERS FAV. Off four straight wins, the Blazers are playing their best basketball. The Blazers, who are a much better team here at the Moda Center, know that they hit the road for five games after this. With an 11-22 road record, compared to a 17-13 mark here at home, they know how important is to take care of business tonight. Admittedly, the Wizards have also been playing well lately. However, while the Blazers had last night off, the Wizards were forced to go to OT to beat Sacramento. Not only will they be playing the second of b2b games but this will also mark their fourth road game in the past five days. Thats a brutal schedule, made worse by the extra minutes they were forced to play last night. While the Wizards blew them out at Washington earlier, the Blazers have dominated the Wizards here at Portland in recent seasons. With the schedule and venue in their favor, expect the revenge-minded Blazers to stay hot for another day. |

03-10-17 | Pacers v. Bucks OVER 208 | Top | 85-99 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 10 m | Show |
I'm playing on Milwaukee and Indiana to finish OVER the total 10* BLUE CHIP. This season's two meetings had O/U lines of 210 and 211.5. Those games produced 232 and 226 combined points. While the Bucks have seen their past three games dip below the total, they've still scored a minimum of 104 points in each of those games. Its the second time recently (and only the second time all season) that Milwaukee saw three straight games fall below the total. The previous time, their next game finished above the number, producing 213 points. Some might be surprised to learn that the Bucks have the second best offensive field goal percentage (47.7%) in the entire league. Here at Milwaukee, they hit better than 48% of their field goals. For the season, Milwaukee home games average 212.3 points. Not surprisingly, the OVER is 22-12 here. Indiana road games are right there too, averaging 212 combined points. The Pacers are off a big offensive effort, scoring 115 against the Pistons. Including that result, their divisional games are averaging 211.9 points. All things considered, this number could easily be higher. Expect another high-scoring affair. |

03-10-17 | Michigan State v. Minnesota +1 | Top | 58-63 | Win | 100 | 20 h 13 m | Show |
I'm playing on MINNESOTA 10* ANNIHILATOR. I won with the Spartans when these teams met on 1/11. At the time, a lot of people were backing the underdog Gophers, who were playing with 'revenge' from a 1-point loss on 12/27. I opted to lay the small number with the Spartans though, expecting their homecourt to prove too much to overcome. They rewarded me with a 65-47 victory, jumping out to a 39-17 lead by half. This one, however, is at the Verizon Center and I expect an entirely different result. The Gophers made remarkable progress this season, a 15-game turnaround from last year. Getting knocked out in their first tournament game and losing all three to the Spartans is NOT the way that they want their Big Ten campaign to come to an end. I expect an extremely motivated effort and I expect them to be far more ready to play than they were last time. Note that Minnesota is 7-2 ATS and 8-1 SU the last nine times that it attempted to avenge an earlier road loss. The Gophers have the second best RPI (behind Purdue) in the Big Ten. They hold opposing teams to a 39.6% field goal percentage, which is best in the Big Ten. They also rank #1 in 3-point defense, limiting opposing teams to 30.8% from beyond the arc. One of the impressive things about the Gophers' defense is that its been every bit as good on the road as it has been at home. Thats helped lead to a winning (6-5) road record. On the other hand, the Spartans give up considerably more points on the road (72.1) than they do at home. On the road, they allow opposing teams to connect on 43.3% of their shots. When the teams last met, the Gophers were part way through a 5-game losing streak. They're arguably playing much better now. Though they did lose their last one, they'd previously won eight straight. Look for their superior defense to be the difference, as they bounce back and "take the next step" by beating the Spartans and earning a tournament win. |

03-09-17 | Clippers v. Grizzlies -3.5 | Top | 114-98 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 48 m | Show |
I'm playing on MEMPHIS. Off three straight losses, most recently an embarrassing setback against Brooklyn on Monday, the Grizzlies are going to be in an angry mood. With the venue and schedule in their favor, I expect them to bounce back with a much needed victory. While the Grizzlies have been off since Monday, the Clippers played last night. They're 6-7 SU/ATS when playing the second of back-to-back games. This is worse than a "typical" b2b spot though, as this will mark their third game in the past four days, their fifth game in the past seven days. The Clippers have taken two of three meetings this season. The teams split a pair of games at LA and the Clippers won here, back in November. However, even with that result, the Grizzlies are still a profitable 6-3 SU/ATS the last nine times that they hosted the Clippers. The only previous time that the Grizzlies had lost three straight this season, they bounced back with a double-digit victory in their next game. Expect another win and cover here. *GOM |

03-09-17 | Tulane v. Tulsa -5 | Top | 60-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
I'm playing on TULSA 10* PERS FAV. Admittedly, the Golden Hurricane haven't been very good in March the past couple of seasons. However, I expect them to break through with a big win this evening. While Tulsa's 14-16 record may not seem too impressive, it starts to look pretty good when compared to Tulane's 6-24 (2-14 on the road) mark. Tulsa only connects on 42% of its shots. The Green Wave are worse though, making just 40.7% (37.9% on the road) of theirs. Its on the other side of the ball where Tulsa really has the edge though. The Golden Hurricane allow 70.3 points on 43.5% shooting. The Green Wave, on the other hand, allow 78.9 ppg on 47.4% shooting. Tulane does come off a rare win, an 81-69 win over the same Tulsa team they'll face here. However, the Green Wave are only 3-10 SU and 3-9-1 ATS the last 13 times that they were off a conference win, 0-2 SU and 0-1-1 ATS this season. They wanted that game (Senior Day) more than Tulsa, but that won't be the case here. The Golden Hurricane are 9-4 ATS (10-3 SU) when laying points. Look for them to take care of business, covering the small number along the way. |

03-08-17 | Knicks v. Bucks OVER 211 | Top | 93-104 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 28 m | Show |
I'm playing on NY and Milwaukee to finish OVER the total 10* BEST BEST. These teams have met twice so far this season. Both games were close. Both were won by the road team. The game at MSG slipped beneath the total, finishing with 209 combined points. However, the game here at Milwaukee produced 227 points. Thats not all that surprising, when considering that the OVER is a profitable 22-11 here on the season. Games here are averaging 212.7 points. Meanwhile, NY road games are averaging 215.5 points on the season. While they allow more points on the road than they do at home, the Knicks score amost as many. Their last two games have produced 217 and 218 combined points, respectively. Off a win at Orlando, as a 3.5 point underdog, note that the OVER is 9-4 when the Knicks were coming off an 'upset' win. With the OVER a perfect 6-0 in NY's last six visits here, I feel that this number could easily be a little higher and I'm expecting another high-scoring affair. |

03-08-17 | Nets v. Hawks -9.5 | Top | 105-110 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 33 m | Show |
I'm playing on ATLANTA 10* PERS FAV. The Hawks badly need a big win and the Nets should be the perfect opponent to provide them with one. While the Nets won big at Memphis last time out, they're still a dismal 4-27 away from Brooklyn. They give up 116.9 ppg on the road. That was just their second win in recent weeks. They followed up their last with a 15-point loss. In fact, they haven't won two games in a row all season long. They're also just 7-17 SU/ATS the last 24 times that they were off a double-digit win. The Hawks already won by 20 at Brooklyn earlier. They also beat the Nets by 28 the last meeting here at Atlanta. Catching the Nets, who haven't played a home game since 2/15, playing the second last leg of a long road trip, look for the Hawks to bounce back with another blowout. |
