At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies + the points over Los Angeles.  The Clippers have won both meetings this season vs. the Grizzlies.  We'll take Memphis + the points, as the Clippers are a poor 31-53 ATS when favored by 4+ points vs. revenge-minded foes.  Take Memphis.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Phoenix.  The Cavs are mired in a 3-game losing streak.  We'll step in and take Cleveland to get back into the win column tonight, as it is 50-26-1 ATS off back-to-back losses, if it was favored by 6+ points against a losing team, including 11-2 ATS on the road.  Take the Cavs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers over the Denver Nuggets.  The Blazers come into tonight's game off 3 straight wins over Toronto (105-102), Washington (112-97) and Memphis (115-99).  Denver will play tonight's game without its best player, Nikola Jokic, so this point spread has been installed near Pk'em to reflect Jokic's absence.  We'll take Portland, as it's 37-12 ATS off back to back home wins by more than 6 points.  Take the Trail Blazers.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over New Orleans.  This is the 2nd of back-to-back games played between these teams -- both in Minneapolis.  The Pelicans won on Wednesday, 119-115.  We'll take the T-Wolves to avenge that loss, as they're 29-10 ATS when playing an opponent which defeated it in Minnesota in the prior meeting.  Lay the points.

At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Los Angeles.  The Lakers won last night by 12 over Denver, and will be unrested vs. a rested Bucks team on Thursday.  Milwaukee comes into this game off 2 losses.  But it is 99-56-4 ATS in the regular season when playing off 2+ defeats.  Additionally, the Lakers enter on a 3-game win streak.  But they're a poor 116-148 ATS in the regular season off back-to-back SU/ATS wins.  Lay the points with Milwaukee.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls + the points over Sacramento.  The Kings have been brutal at home off a SU/ATS win if they were playing a foe off a SU/ATS loss.  Sacramento is 30-62 ATS in this situation.  With the Kings in off a huge upset win over Cleveland, and the Bulls off a 127-121 SU/ATS loss to Phoenix, we'll take the road underdog Bulls tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz minus the points over Washington.  We'll take the revenge-minded Jazz tonight, as they fall into a 117-72 ATS system of mine.  What we want to do is play on the Jazz if they're rested, and favored at home by at least 2.5 points following a SU loss.  With Utah off a 111-97 loss to Chicago on Monday, we'll play on the Jazz to bounce back tonight.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat + the points over the Detroit Pistons.  On Monday, the Pistons blew out New Orleans, 127-81.  Off that 46-point win, we'll fade Detroit on Wednesday.  Indeed, the Pistons are a putrid 5-33-1 ATS off a win by more than 7 points, if their opponent was off a SU/ATS loss.   And NBA teams off a win by more than 45 points have gone 8-22-5 ATS their last 35.  Take Miami.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors + the points over Milwaukee.  Last night, we played against Golden State, and got the $$$ with Denver.   Tonight, we'll switch gears and play on the Warriors as a home dog.  Steph Curry won't play in this game, so the Warriors will be an underdog.  The good news for them is that they are 38-16 ATS at home vs. .400 (or better) foes when the Warriors were off a loss, and weren't favored by more than 9 points.  Take Golden State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets + the points over Golden State.  The Nuggets have lost their last three games to the point spread.  We'll take Denver as an underdog at Golden State, as it has cashed 38 of 58 following 3 ATS losses, if it was playing a .400 (or better) foe.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat + the points over the New York Knicks.  The Heat are on a 7-game losing streak, and they've dropped their last five to the point spread.  We'll look for them to snap their streaks tonight, and get back into the win column at New York.  The Heat are 60-26 ATS away from home when they've been on a 2-game (or worse) ATS losing streak.  And they're also 41-13 ATS on the road off a loss by 20+ points, when priced from +9.5 to -1.5 points.  With Miami coming in off a 125-91 loss at Memphis, we'll take the Heat on Monday.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers + the points over Minnesota.  The Timberwolves have won their last 8 games, including a 128-102 blowout of Utah last night.  We'll fade the Wolves as NBA teams off 5+ wins, including a win by more than 25 points in their previous game, have gone 27-58 ATS.  Take the Pacers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat + the points over the New York Knicks.  The Heat are on a 7-game losing streak, and they've dropped their last five to the point spread.  We'll look for them to snap their streaks tonight, and get back into the win column at New York.  The Heat are 60-26 ATS away from home when they've been on a 2-game (or worse) ATS losing streak.  And they're also 41-13 ATS on the road off a loss by 20+ points, when priced from +9.5 to -1.5 points.  With Miami coming in off a 125-91 loss at Memphis, we'll take the Heat on Monday.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz + the points over the Minnesota Timberwolves.  On the surface, we have two teams going in completely opposite directions.  The T-Wolves are on a 7-game winning streak, while the Jazz are mired in an 8-game losing streak.  The point spread, of course, is a great equalizer.  And since 1990, NBA underdogs of more than 11 points, off 8+ losses, have gone 32-13 ATS vs. foes on a 5-game (or better) winning streak.  We'll grab the points with the Jazz.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Pistons + the points over Oklahoma City.  The Pistons were stunned on Thursday by the Wizards, 129-125, as a 13-point favorite.  But that was a bad set-up for Detroit, as it had just defeated Washington the game before, 123-103, so the Wizards had a revenge game two days later.  We'll take Detroit to bounce back off that loss, as it is 20-9 ATS this season off a straight-up defeat, including 5-1 ATS as a home underdog.  And, going back further finds Detroit 40-17 ATS in non-division games off a loss, including 12-1 ATS its last 13.  Take the Pistons.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies + the points over Cleveland.  The Grizzlies lost earlier this season, 129-123. at Cleveland.  We'll take Memphis tonight, as it is 74-45 ATS when it lost the prior meeting vs. its opponent, if Memphis currently owned a .600 (or better) record.  Take the Grizz.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat + the points over Boston.  Erik Spoelstra's Heat have lost their last five games, straight-up.  And they've failed to cover the spread in their last three.  The good news for Miami, tonight, is that it is 66-38-3 ATS off 3 ATS losses in a row, including 5-0 ATS their last five in this situation.  We'll take Miami as a big home underdog.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over Minnesota.  The Nuggets have lost their first two meetings this season against the Timberwolves.  But both of those games were played at Target Center; this game is at Ball Arena.  Denver is a solid 53-34-2 ATS its last 89 when playing with double-revenge, including 7-1-2 ATS its last 10.  And Minnesota is 10-20 ATS when playing a foe it defeated in the season's two prior meetings.  Take Denver.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Dallas.  This is the 2nd of back-to-back games between these Southwest division rivals -- both played in the Alamo City.  San Antone was upset, 133-129, as a 7-point favorite on Monday.  We'll lay the points with the Spurs, as they're 60-32-1 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss as a 7-point (or greater) favorite, including 23-8 ATS vs. division rivals.  Take the Spurs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers + the points over Milwaukee.  The Pacers play this game with double-revenge and have been installed as a home dog tonight.  The Pacers are 13-6 their last 19 when playing with double-revenge.  And they're 30-18-2 ATS their last 50 as home dogs, including 15-5-1 ATS when playing with revenge.  Take Indiana.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors minus the points over Washington.  These two teams are playing the 2nd of back-to-back meetings.  The Wizards won Round 1, 118-117, on Saturday, as a 4.5-point road underdog.  We'll lay the points with Toronto tonight, as revenge-minded NBA teams have cashed 72% as a favorite since 1990 when playing the 2nd of back-to-back games vs. a foe with a win percentage less than .250.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Pelicans + the points over Memphis.  The Pelicans have lost their last 3 games -- both straight-up and ATS.  We'll take them as a big home underdog tonight, as they've gone 40-28-4 ATS as an underdog off 3 SU/ATS losses, when matched up against a foe off a SU win, including 17-10 ATS at home.  Take New Orleans + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over the Los Angeles Lakers.  The Celtics are 28-34-1 ATS this season, which shouldn't be too much of a surprise given that they're coming off a championship season.  Boston does, however, have winning point spread records when it's off a loss (14-4 ATS) and when it's playing with revenge (5-3 ATS).  The Lakers hammered Boston on the West Coast, 117-96.  We'll take Boston to avenge that defeat, as defending champs are 36-23-1 ATS at home when playing with revenge from a 20-point (or worse) defeat.  And the Lakers are 19-43-2 ATS on the road if they upset their opponent in the previous meeting.  Take Boston.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Orlando Magic + the points over the Milwaukee Bucks.  We have two teams going in opposite directions.  Orlando is on a 5-game SU/ATS losing streak, while Milwaukee is on a 4-game SU/ATS winning streak.  We'll grab the points, as the Magic have cashed 63% over the last 35 years on the road when they were on a 3-game (or worse) SU/ATS losing streak, while their opponent had won and covered its last three games.  Likewise, the Bucks are an awful 107-168 ATS off 3 straight-up wins, if they were playing a rested foe.  And they're also 27-43-2 ATS their last 72 as a home favorite off 3 SU/ATS wins.  Take Orlando.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers + the points over Oklahoma City.  The Thunder have won five straight, and are well-in-front of their Western Conference rivals, so they will sit many of their regulars tonight.  Portland is still in the hunt for a play-in berth, as it sits 4 games behind the injury-ravaged Mavericks for the 10th seed.  We'll grab the points with the Blazers, as they're 15-6 ATS this season when priced from +1.5 to +6.5.  And Portland also falls into a 125-66 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off SU/ATS losses vs. foes off SU/ATS wins.  Take the Blazers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks + the points over Memphis.  The Mavs are on a 4-game ATS losing streak.  But the Grizzlies are playing even worse, with an 8-game ATS losing streak.  So, something will have to give tonight in this Southwest division match-up.  We'll grab the points with the Mavericks, who are 46-21 ATS vs. Memphis when not favored by 6+ points, including 26-12 ATS as an underdog.  Dallas is also 25-3 ATS as an underdog vs. an opponent off a SU loss, following a game where Dallas failed to cover the spread by more than 17 points.  Take the Mavericks.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks + the points over the Los Angeles Lakers.  The Lakers upset the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, 128-112, as an 11-point road underdog.  We'll take the Knicks to avenge that defeat, as the Lakers are a poor 35-52-1 ATS when playing an opponent they upset in the season's previous meeting.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Brooklyn Nets + the points over Golden State.  Brooklyn enters this evening's game on a 5-game losing streak.  And it has also failed to cover its last three.  The Warriors have been installed as a double-digit road favorite.  We'll grab the points, as Brooklyn has cashed 59% over the last 35 years when installed as a double-digit dog off 3 SU/ATS losses, while Golden State has covered just 31% as a double-digit favorite vs. foes off 3 SU/ATS losses.  Take Brooklyn.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks plus the points over the Milwaukee Bucks.  Milwaukee defeated the Atlanta Hawks last night, 127-121, for its 3rd straight win.  We'll fade the unrested Bucks tonight as a big favorite, as they're 111-171-8 ATS off 3+ wins, when playing a rested foe.  And Milwaukee's also a money-burning 17-39-2 ATS when favored by more than 8 points.  Take Dallas + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over the Phoenix Suns.  Los Angeles has dropped the first three meetings to Phoenix this season.  We'll take L.A. tonight, as it has cashed 77% since 1990 when playing with triple revenge from 3 prior losses in the season, and not getting more than 3 points.  Take the Clippers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over the Atlanta Hawks.  The Hawks upset the Grizzlies last night, 132-130, on a last-second bucket by Caris LeVert.  We'll fade Atlanta off that upset win, as it's covered just 25% ATS as a home dog off an upset win the previous night, when playing a rested opponent.  Take Milwaukee.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Orlando Magic minus the points over the Toronto Raptors.  These two teams met here, on Sunday, and the Magic were upset by the Raptors, 104-102.  We'll take Orlando to avenge that defeat, as home favorites have cashed 55% in the regular season when playing with revenge from a home upset loss vs. the same opponent in their previous game.  Take the Magic.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets + the points over the Oklahoma City Thunder.  OKC went into the Alamo City last night, and won by 14, 146-132.  And that followed a 135-119 win at Atlanta.  Tonight, the Thunder will play their 3rd game in four nights, and will host a Rockets team off a 113-103 upset loss vs. Sacramento.  Houston is 10-1 ATS its last 11 (and 14-3 ATS its last 17) off an upset loss.  Meanwhile, the Thunder are 43-69 ATS off back to back SU/ATS wins, when playing a revenge-minded foe with a .500 (or better) win percentage.  And OKC also falls into negative 23-76 and 71-136 ATS systems of mine that fade certain teams off wins.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers minus the points over Minnesota.  The Lakers are 11-4 ATS their last 15, and play tonight's game with revenge from a 97-87 loss to the T-Wolves in December.  Minnesota did pull off a massive upset on Tuesday at OKC, as a 12-point underdog.  But Minnesota is a dismal 10-25 ATS on the road vs. .500 (or better) foes following a game where the T-Wolves covered by more than 8 points.  Take Los Angeles.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns minus the points over New Orleans.  The Pelicans upset Phoenix, 126-124, in New Orleans when these teams last met.  We'll take Phoenix to avenge that loss, as it is 69-35-2 ATS when favored, and playing with revenge from an upset defeat.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte Hornets + the points over Dallas.  The Hornets were blasted, 128-92, by Golden State on Tuesday.  We'll back Charlotte as a big dog tonight, as underdogs of more than 9 points have cashed 57% since 1990 off a loss by 35+ points.  Take the Hornets.

At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs + the points over the Houston Rockets.  When these two rivals last met, the Rockets blew out San Antone, 127-100.  We'll take the Spurs to avenge that loss, as they're 50-29-1 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss by more than 21 points, including 28-11 ATS their last 39 when playing a .620 (or better) foe.  Grab the points with the Spurs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over Chicago.  The Bulls come into this game off a 142-110 blowout of Philly.  And they also upset the Clippers earlier this season in Los Angeles, 112-99.  Unfortunately, the Bulls are 2-11 ATS their last 13 games off a straight-up win, if they were playing a revenge-minded foe.  Lay the points with L.A.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers minus the points over Toronto.  This is the 3rd meeting this season between these two teams.  And Toronto won each of the first two meetings by 11 points.  We'll take Indiana to avenge those losses, as the Pacers are a solid 236-164-10 ATS if they were playing with revenge, and off a SU/ATS loss in their most recent game.  With Indiana, indeed, off a SU/ATS loss Monday night vs. the Nuggets, we'll lay the points with Indy on this Wednesday.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers + the points over the New York Knicks.  I'm well-aware of how poorly the 76ers have played this month.  But I will happily step in and grab the points with them on the road tonight, off their 142-110 drubbing at the hands of the Chicago Bulls, as they're 9-4 ATS off a loss by 32+ points.  Meanwhile, the Knicks are a poor 10-18-1 ATS vs. foes on a 5-game (or worse) ATS losing streak.  And they're 21-44-3 ATS when laying 9+ points to a division rival.  Take Philly.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over Indiana.  The Pacers blew out the Clippers, 129-111, on Sunday.  We'll fade them today, as unrested winning teams have cashed just 1 of 15 since 1990 at home following a win in which they tallied 129+ points, if they were matched up against a .640 (or better) foe off a SU loss.  Take Denver.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points over Chicago.  The Sixers have dealt with injuries all season, and two key players are questionable for tonight (Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey).  Maxey was a full participant at practice yesterday, so there's room for optimism that he suits up.  This game is ultra-critical for both teams, as the 76ers are 1.5 games behind Chicago in the race for the all-important #10 seed, which would qualify for the Play-In Tournament.  The Sixers are mired in a 7-game losing streak, while the Bulls have lost six straight.  So, something will have to give tonight.  I favor the homestanding Sixers, as they've won and covered both meetings vs. Chicago this season.  And Philly is 15-5 ATS its last 20 vs. the Bulls.  Finally, the Sixers fall into a 246-151 ATS system of mine.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:10 pm our selection is on the Toronto Raptors over the Phoenix Suns.  The Suns won yesterday in Chicago, 121-117.  Unfortunately, Phoenix is 2-7-1 ATS when playing without rest.  And it's 17-46-2 ATS off a straight-up win, including 0-11-1 ATS its last 12 vs. losing teams.  Take Toronto.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks + the points over the Boston Celtics.  The Knicks haven't defeated Boston in two tries this season, including a home loss by 27 points when these teams met earlier this month in New York.  We'll take the Knicks to avenge that home loss, as they're 87-40 ATS off a SU/ATS loss in their previous game, if they were currently playing a .500 (or better) foe, and also playing with revenge from a home loss.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers minus the points over Charlotte.  The Blazers have been extremely streaky of late.  From Jan. 4 thru Jan. 9, they covered four straight.  They then lost four in a row ATS, and followed that with an 11-game ATS win streak.  Now, they're riding a four-game SU/ATS losing streak.  We'll look for the Blazers to snap that slide tonight, and blow out Charlotte.  Portland is 23-7 SU and 21-9 ATS in the last 30 meetings with the Hornets, including a win at The Hive earlier this season.  And the Blazers fall into a 92-56 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Meanwhile, the Hornets are a horrid 2-10 ATS their last 12 vs. sub-.415 opponents.  Take the Trail Blazers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points over Brooklyn.  The Sixers are mired in a 6-game losing streak.  The good news is that Brooklyn will pay a visit to the City of Brotherly Love tonight.  And Philly is 12-3 SU and 10-4-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings.  Even better:  home teams favored by more than 5 points have cashed 59% since 1990 if they were off 6+ losses.  Take the Sixers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Utah.  The Thunder lost to the Timberwolves in their final game before the All-Star Break.  They're a big favorite tonight in Salt Lake City, and we'll lay the points, as .780 (or better) teams have cashed 67% since 1990 at Game 39 forward, if they were off a SU loss, and matched up against a division rival.  Also, OKC is a solid 15-5 ATS when favored by more than 14 points off a SU loss.  And they're 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings with the Jazz.  Take Oklahoma City.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Pistons minus the points over San Antonio.  The Spurs upset the Phoenix Suns last night, 120-109.  We'll fade San Antone tonight, as it is a dreadful 4-21 SU and 7-18 ATS as an underdog off an upset win.  Take the Pistons.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies minus the points over the Orlando Magic.  The Grizzlies lost their 2nd straight game last night, when Indiana defeated them, 127-113.  We'll take Memphis at Orlando on Friday, as the Magic are 4-20-2 ATS as a home dog vs. foes off back to back losses.  Take the Grizzlies.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over Utah.  The Jazz stunned the Lakers last night, 131-119, as a 9-point home dog.  And that win snapped a 3-game losing streak.  We'll fade Utah off that win, as unrested underdogs of more than 7 points, off exactly one win as a dog of more than 5, have cashed just 34% since 1990.  Lay the points with the Clippers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat minus the points over Dallas.  The Heat lost their 3rd straight on Wednesday.  We'll take the Heat to snap their losing streak, as they're 27-11 ATS on the road off 3+ losses, including 10-2 ATS as a favorite.  Lay the points.

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over Oklahoma City.  The Thunder won, 115-101, last night at home vs. Miami.  They'll travel to Minneapolis for this game vs. the T-Wolves, who fell by two points to the Bucks last night.  We'll fade OKC, as it is 3-10 ATS when playing at Minnesota without rest.  And it's also 19-26 ATS its last 45 when playing its 5th game in seven days.  Meanwhile. the Thunder are 26-7 ATS as a home dog vs. .582 (or better) division foes, including 13-1-1 ATS when getting more than 5 points.  Take Minnesota + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Pelicans + the points over Sacramento.  These two teams played last night, and the Kings came away with an 8-point win.  We'll take the Pelicans in this revenge match, as underdogs of 8+ points, off a loss to the same opponent the previous day, have cashed 57% since 1990.  Take New Orleans.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls + the points over the Detroit Pistons.  The Bulls blew out Chicago, 132-92, last night.  We'll take Chicago to avenge that defeat, as Detroit is a dreadful 3-30-1 ATS off a win by more than 7 points, if its opponent was off a SU/ATS loss.  Take the Bulls.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks + the points over the New York Knicks.  The Hawks are 6-0 ATS their last six, and 8-1 ATS their last nine.  This season, they've overperformed as underdogs, going 19-12 ATS.  The Knicks had to play last night, and they're 0-5 ATS their last five, and 1-9 ATS their last 10 when playing without rest.  Even worse:  they're 0-12 ATS their last 12 when playing without rest vs. a rested foe.  Take Atlanta.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points over Brooklyn.  The Sixers have lost their last four games -- each as a favorite -- including a 106-103 loss to the Raptors last night.  We'll take the Sixers to bounce back tonight, as they're 14-5 ATS as a favorite of less than 8 points off back to back losses.  And they're 22-7 SU and 19-10 ATS the last 29 meetings vs. the Nets, including 2-0 SU/ATS this season.  Take Philly.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns + the points over the Memphis Grizzlies.  The Suns were drilled, 122-105, by Denver, on Saturday.  We'll take Phoenix to bounce back at home tonight, as Memphis is a poor 26-51-3 ATS on the road vs. foes off losses by more than 15 points, provided Memphis also wasn't off a loss by more than 15.  Take the Suns.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over Indiana.  The Knicks were blown out by Boston, 131-104, on Saturday.  We'll take them to bounce back tonight, as they also will play with revenge from a loss to the Pacers earlier this season.  And the Knicks are 105-68 ATS on the road in the regular season, if they were off a SU/ATS loss, and playing with revenge.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte Hornets + the points over Brooklyn.  LaMelo Ball has just been upgraded to 'probable,' and that's all I need to pull the trigger on the Hornets, tonight.  Brooklyn comes into this game off a win over Miami, 102-86.  Unfortunately, the Nets are 12-24-1 ATS off a win, including 1-9 ATS as a favorite/PK (including 0-6 ATS vs. a foe off a SU loss).  Take the Hornets.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies + the points over the OKC Thunder.  The Thunder had to play last night, while Memphis will take the court tonight following 2 off days after blowing out Toronto on Wednesday.  We'll grab the points with Ja Morant & Co., as they're 58-34 ATS at home vs. foes off a SU win, if the Grizzlies weren't favored by 2+ points.  Take Memphis.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points over Detroit.  Joel Embiid will suit up for the Sixers tonight, and that's all I need to pull the trigger on Philly.  He played 36 minutes in Philly's 118-116 victory on Tuesday vs. the Mavericks, and was 12-for-23 from the field, for 29 points.  He also had 11 rebounds and 10 assists.  Embiid has played 8 games since December 1st where he logged at least 20 minutes, and the Sixers have gone 7-1 straight-up in those games.  Lay the points with Philly.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets over the Minnesota Timberwolves.  The Rockets come into this game off a season-high 4-game losing streak.  I like Houston to snap that streak tonight, as it is 17-9 ATS on the road this season, and 11-6 ATS off a SU loss.  Take the Rockets.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards + the points over the Brooklyn Nets.  The Wizards are on a 2-game win streak, which has come on the heels of a 16-game losing streak.  Washington's last two wins were against Minnesota (105-103, as a 12-point dog) and Charlotte (124-114, as a 4-point dog).  We'll grab the points with Washington, as rested teams off back-to-back upset wins have cashed 61% since 1990 as road underdogs vs. unrested foes.  Take the Wizards.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over the Charlotte Hornets.  The Bucks were blasted by OKC, 125-96, on Monday for its fourth straight loss (both SU and ATS).  Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bobby Portis, Damian Lillard and Brook Lopez all did not play for Milwaukee.  We'll lay the points tonight with the Bucks, as they're 97-56-3 ATS in the regular season off back to back losses, while Charlotte is 14-22 ATS vs. foes off back to back defeats (including 4-10 ATS at home).  Take Milwaukee.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Pistons + the points over Cleveland.  The Cavs lost last night to Boston.  We'll fade Cleveland on the road tonight, as unrested teams with a 766 (or better) win percentage, at Game 46 forward, are 0-13 ATS their last 13 (and 2-20 ATS their last 22) vs. rested foes off an upset loss. Take Detroit.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets minus the points over the Brooklyn Nets.  The Rockets dropped their 3rd straight game -- a 124-118 loss to the Knicks last night -- and also lost to these Nets as a 13-point home favorite on Saturday.  We'll take Houston to bounce back on Tuesday and avenge that upset loss.  Indeed, road teams playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season as a 13-point (or greater) favorite have gone 11-1 ATS their last 12.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics + the points over the Cleveland Cavaliers.  The Cavs blew out Dallas, 144-101, as a 15.5-point favorite, on Sunday, and covered that point spread by 27.5.  Meanwhile, the Celtics are on a 3-game winning streak, but failed to cover the spread in their previous two victories vs. the Pelicans and 76ers.  We'll take Boston + the points tonight in this match-up of Eastern Conference heavyweights, as the Celtics are 62-33-2 ATS off back-to-back ATS defeats, including 17-0 ATS their last 17 if their foe covered the spread by more than 16 in its previous game.  Take the Celtics.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns minus the points over Portland.  This is the 2nd of back-to-back games played between these teams -- each at Portland.  The Blazers won Round 1, 127-108, on Saturday, as a 4.5-point home dog.  We'll take Phoenix in this rematch, as it is 65-26 ATS when playing with revenge from an upset road loss.  Lay the points with the Suns.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over the Sacramento Kings.  The T-Wolves lost by 11 points here, at Minnesota, to the Kings when these two teams last met.  We'll lay the points with Minnesota tonight, as it is 28-6 ATS its last 34 when playing with revenge from a home loss to its opponent.  Take the T-Wolves.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs + the points over the Memphis Grizzlies.  The Spurs will look to avenge a 140-112 blowout home loss to Memphis on January 17.  We'll grab the points with the Silver and Black, as the Spurs are 50-28-1 ATS when playing with revenge from a 22-point (or worse) defeat.  Take the Spurs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards + the points over the Minnesota Timberwolves.  Washington has lost 16 straight games, and its last three losses were particularly bad, as it fell by 22, 24, and 38 points.  We'll take Washington tonight, as NBA underdogs off three straight losses by more than 21 points have cashed 57% since 1990.  Take the Wizards.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns over the Golden State Warriors.  Phoenix plays this game with revenge from a 109-105 loss last month here, in San Francisco.  We'll fade Golden State off its upset win over the Thunder, as the Warriors are a soft 42.1% ATS at home off a SU/ATS home win, if they were playing a revenge-minded foe they defeated at home earlier in the season.  Take the Suns.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Pelicans + the points over Boston.  The Pelicans are a double-digit home dog tonight vs. the defending champs.  We'll grab the points, as New Orleans is a solid 83-53 ATS at home if it wasn't favored by 3+ points, and its opponent owned a .583 (or better) win percentage.  Take New Orleans.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over Philadelphia.  The Nuggets blew out Philly, 144-109, in Denver last week.  But since that game, they've gone 1-3 SU/ATS, including 0-3 SU/ATS in their last three games.  We'll take Denver to snap its losing streak tonight, as it's 36-18 ATS vs. .400 (or better) foes, if it was on a 3-game (or worse) ATS losing streak.  Lay the points.

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies minus the points over Houston.  The Grizzlies lost by 2 points to Houston earlier this month, 120-118, as a 2.5-point underdog.  They're favored at home tonight, and we'll lay the points, as the Grizzlies have cashed 67% in the regular season since 1990, as a revenge-minded home favorite of 7 or less points, if they owned a win percentage greater than .600.  Take Memphis.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over the Atlanta Hawks.  These two teams met in back-to-back games at the end of November.  At the time, the Cavaliers were 17-1.  But Atlanta won the 2 games in the home-and-home series, which lowered Cleveland's record to 17-3.  The Cavs quickly righted their ship, and have gone 21-6 since.  We'll lay the points, as .750 (or better) teams have gone 17-1 SU and 15-3 ATS when playing with double-revenge, if they were favored by 6+ points.  Take Cleveland.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Golden State.  The Thunder have been installed as a big favorite vs. the Warriors tonight.  OKC is on a 3-game ATS losing streak.  But it is 89-64-1 ATS as a favorite of -8 (or more) points when it was on a 3-game (or worse) losing streak.  Take the Thunder.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets + the points over the New York Knicks.  The Nuggies have revenge tonight from a 145-118 beatdown in Denver back in November.  We'll happily take the points with Mike Malone's men, as they're 18-3 ATS as a revenge-minded underdog vs. non-conference foes that defeated them by 12+ points earlier in the season.  Take Denver.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks + the points over Houston.  The Rockets won their 3rd straight game last night when they upset the Celtics, 114-112, in Boston.  Atlanta is going in the opposite direction, with five straight defeats after falling in Minnesota, 100-92.  We'll take the Hawks tonight + the points, as they're 80-43 ATS at home when not laying more than 3 points, if they were playing a non-division foe off back-to-back wins.  Take Atlanta.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Portland.  The Trail Blazers will run into a Thunder squad which will be looking to redeem itself after an upset home loss to the Mavericks on Thursday.  Oklahoma City was favored by 11.5 points, but lost, 121-115.  We'll take the Thunder to bounce back, as they've gone 77-51-5 ATS off a straight-up loss, including 29-16 ATS when the Thunder were rested, and playing a foe off a SU/ATS win.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards + the points over Phoenix.  The Suns blew out Brooklyn, 118-84, as a 13-point favorite on Wednesday.  We'll fade the Suns tonight, as they're 15-50 ATS their last 65 when favored by 9+ points off a game where they covered the spread by 7+.  Take Washington.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks minus the points over the Toronto Raptors.  These two teams met two days ago, and the Raptors upset Atlanta, 122-119, as a 5-point road underdog.  We'll take Atlanta in the revenge spot, as the Hawks fall into a 192-111 ATS revenge system of mine.  Additionally, the Raptors are a poor 4-9 ATS their last 13 when playing a revenge-minded foe they upset in the season's prior meeting.  Take the Hawks.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Orlando Magic minus the points over Detroit.  The Pistons won, 114-104, at Atlanta on Wednesday.  Unfortunately, Detroit is a dreadful 2-29 ATS off a win by more than 7 points, when playing a foe off a SU/ATS loss.  Take Orlando minus the points.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte Hornets minus the points over Portland.  The Blazers upset Orlando last night, 101-79.  They now have to play a rested Hornets team which last took the floor in its 132-120 loss at Memphis on Wednesday.  We'll lay the points with the Hornets, as they've covered 67.7% since 1990 as a rested favorite of 9 (or less) points vs. unrested foes off a win.  Take Charlotte.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards + the points over the L.A. Clippers.  The Wizards are riding an 11-game losing streak after dropping a game to the L.A. Lakers, 111-88, on Tuesday.  We'll take Washington + the points, as NBA teams on 11-game (or worse) losing streaks have gone 110-86 ATS as underdogs vs. non-division foes off a SU loss.  Even better:  the Wizards are 19-11 ATS when priced from +11.5 to +14.5, while the Clippers are 36-56 ATS when priced from -11.5 to -14.5.  Take Washington.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2:10 pm, in a game played in Paris, France, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs + the points over Indiana.  After a 7-0-1 ATS stretch, the Spurs are on a 1-6 SU/ATS run, including three blowout losses at the hands of Memphis (twice) and Miami.  Meanwhile, the Pacers are on a 2-game SU/ATS win streak after pummeling Philly, 115-102.  We'll take San Antone as an underdog vs. Indiana, as the Spurs are 184-125-6 ATS off a SU/ATS loss where they failed to cover the spread by 10+ points, if they were matched up against a foe off a SU win.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards + the points over the Los Angeles Lakers.  This season, the Lakers have been spotless as a short favorite (or PK), as they're 5-0 SU/ATS when laying 3 or less points (or PK).  But when favored by more than that, L.A. is a wallet-busting 5-12 ATS.  The Wizards, meanwhile, have been woeful when not getting 11 points, as they're 32-60-2 ATS the past 2+ years.  But when catching 11 (or more) points, they're a solid 29-18-2 ATS.  Washington is 12-4 ATS as an underdog vs. the Lakers, including 3-0 ATS the last 3 meetings.  Take the Wizards.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers + the points over the Denver Nuggets.  We played on the Nuggets Sunday night, and were rewarded with a 113-100 triumph over the Orlando Magic.  That was Denver's second straight blowout win, as it hammered the Heat, 133-113, on Friday.  Denver is back home tonight, and will host the 76ers.  We'll take Philly, as Denver is a dreadful 10-25 ATS off back-to-back SU/ATS wins by more than 10 points, including 0-8 ATS vs. foes off back-to-back losses.  Take the Sixers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Golden State.  Boston comes into this game off an upset loss on Saturday vs. Atlanta.  And, speaking of upsets, the Warriors went into Beantown in November, and defeated the Celtics, 118-112, as a 7-point underdog.  We'll lay the points with Boston this afternoon, in San Francisco, as defending champs have gone 46-21 ATS as road favorites if they were playing with revenge from an upset loss, provided they also lost ATS in their previous game.  Take the Celtics.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over Atlanta.  The Hawks upset New York last month, at Madison Square Garden, 108-100.  We'll take New York, as the Hawks are a horrid 51-85-1 ATS on the road when playing a foe it upset in the season's previous meeting.  Lay the points.

At 2:40 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over Memphis.  These two teams met 9 days ago, in Minneapolis.  Memphis won that game, 127-125.  We'll take the T-Woves to avenge that loss, as they're 27-6 ATS when playing with revenge from a home loss in the prior meeting.  Take Minnesota.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers + the points over the Milwaukee Bucks.  Philly's been installed as a huge road underdog this evening, and we'll grab the points with Nick Nurse's men.  It's true that the Bucks have won their last 3 games, SU/ATS.  But Milwaukee is a miserable 136-198-9 ATS off 3+ wins.  And it is also 15-39-2 ATS when laying more than 8 points.  Take Philadelphia + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over the Orlando Magic.  After struggling earlier this season over an 11-game stretch from November 15 through December 7th -- where the Nuggets went 4-7 SU and 3-8 ATS -- Nikola Jokic & Co. have been playing much better basketball.  Over their last 20 games, the Nuggets have gone 14-6 SU and 13-7 ATS.  I look for this solid play to continue this evening at Orlando, as the injury-riddled Magic have been going in the opposite direction.  Orlando was playing great earlier in the season.  They went 12-1 SU/ATS from November 8 through December 1.  But they're just 8-13 SU and 8-12-1 ATS since.  And they're especially poor over this 21-game stretch when installed as an underdog of less than 9 points, as they've gone 0-9 SU and 2-6-1 ATS.  Lay the points with Denver.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers + the points over the Houston Rockets.  The Blazers come into tonight's game off 4 straight losses, including 3 blowouts at the hands of Miami (119-98), Brooklyn (132-114) and the L.A. Clippers (118-89).  We'll take Portland, as rested, double-digit home dogs have cashed 57% since 1990 off 3 losses by 15+ points.  Take the Trail Blazers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Minnesota.  The Cavaliers come into tonight's game off a 20-point loss, 134-114, at Oklahoma City.  We'll take the Cavaliers to bounce back tonight, as they're 48-34 ATS off a point spread loss.  And the T-Wolves are a poor 32-50-1 ATS at home vs. foes off a 20-point loss.  Take the Cavaliers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns minus the points over Detroit.  Last month. the Pistons upset Phoenix, 133-125.  We'll take the Suns to avenge that loss, as they're 64-35 ATS as a favorite when playing with revenge from an upset home loss.  Lay the points.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over the Orlando Magic.  Two nights ago, the Celtics were upset at Toronto, 110-97, as a 13.5-point road favorite.  But off that debacle, I like the Celtics to bounce back on Friday night.  Indeed, Boston is a spectacular 36-10 ATS off an upset loss to a division rival, if they were favored by 4+ points in that defeat.  And it's 60-33 ATS off back to back ATS losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers + the points over Los Angeles.  Yesterday, the Clippers routed Brooklyn, 126-67.  Off that 59-point win, we'll fade L.A. on the road in the Rose City tonight.  Indeed, NBA teams off wins by more than 45 points have gone 19-36-5 ATS, including 1-14 ATS when priced from -3.5 to -8 points.  Grab the points with the Blazers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls minus the points over the Atlanta Hawks.  In the last meeting between these teams, Atlanta roared back from a 21-point deficit to win, 141-133.  We'll take Chicago tonight, as Atlanta is an awful 18-35 ATS when playing a revenge-minded opponent, while the Bulls are 24-11 ATS as a revenge-minded favorite.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
