Toronto -6.5

The Raptors are the move against the Pacers. Indiana is just terrible and things aren’t going to get any better. They were blown out by the Suns last time out and they’re now 1-11 to start the year. They have struggled to score and they’re not stopping anyone defensively. Toronto is averaging nearly 120 ppg and this offense will have a field day with a Pacers side that has had its issues with fast tempo teams. Toronto is the better team and the Pacers right now just have zero confidence or momentum to build off of. Back Toronto.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

76ers +5.5

Philadelphia is the move as they take on Detroit. Phili has won 2 of 3 entering play as they’ve started the season off on the right foot. They’re getting solid production on both ends of the floor, but this offense has really taken over at times. They’re averaging over 120 ppg so far and they will use a lot of pace against this young Pistons side. Detroit has a lot of question marks injury wise and this is just too many points to lay with them. Back Phili.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Suns -4.5

Phoenix is the move as they take on Indiana. This is just a case of two teams going in complete opposite directions. The Pacers are 1-10 out of the gate and this team just has nothing going for them. Indiana is averaging just 109 ppg while giving up 121 as they have struggled to just get anything going on either side of the ball. The Suns have started off well and they’re red hot, winning 5 of 6 to start the month of November. Phoenix is going to pick apart this Pacers defense, as they have plenty of outside threats and a good inside presence to overwhelm them. Back Phoenix.

Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play

Clippers +3

The Clippers are the move here as they take on the Nuggets. This a good situational spot on LA, who will go up against a Denver team that just had to play a tough game against the Kings on Tuesday night. We’ve seen teams struggle with back to backs so far this season and the Clippers have to get themselves going. While Denver did grab a win against the Kings, they’re still just 2-2 away from home and this Clippers team is going to turn this game very physical. Expect them to wear down the Nuggets as this game goes on. Back LA.

Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Mavs PK

The Mavs have value against the Suns on Wednesday night. Dallas has started off historically bad and it led to them firing GM Nico Harrison. They will turn the page on the franchise and look to move forward as they try to get into the win column. This is a good spot against the Suns, who have struggled at times this season defensively. They’re giving up over 116 ppg and they have had issues when it comes to stopping teams in transition. The Mavs play quick and will push the tempo on them here, in a game where they’ll come out with a ton of motivation at home. Back Dallas.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland -7.5

The Cavs are the move as they lay the points against Chicago. Cleveland has picked things up and they look like they have returned to top form. They dominated the Wizards on Friday and the Bulls just don’t matchup well with them. Cleveland’s inside presence of Allen and Mobley are going to cause so many issues in the paint on both ends of the floor. Cleveland will dictate the pace and have Chicago’s defense, that gives up nearly 116 ppg, on their heels. 

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Mavs +4.5

Dallas is the move with the points on Friday. The Mavericks have been incredibly underwhelming so far this season, but this is a great spot for them. Memphis has enough drama ongoing with Morant and they are going to struggle in this matchup. Dallas is going to play a physical game and lean on their defense to knock the Grizzlies out of rhythm. Dallas allowed just 101 points last time out and Memphis has had a ton of issues shooting the ball. Back Dallas.

Friday 7* NBA ATS Play

Suns -2.5

Phoenix and Los Angeles play in the lone NBA game on the slate Thursday. We’re on the Suns here laying the points. Phoenix is much better than their 3-5 record so far, but they’ve also been solid at home. They come in 3-1 on the year at home and they matchup well with the Clippers. Los Angeles has dropped 2 in a row and this defense has been very inconsistent. They’ve given up 120 an 126 in the 2 losses and the Suns speed will be a difference maker here. Lay the small number as Phoenix can wear down this Clippers defense.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Portland -3

Portland is the move here as they take on the Lakers. Los Angeles is on the 2nd leg of a back to back where they played a track meet against Miami on Sunday night. Now they go up against a young Portland team that is red hot. They’ve won 3 straight and they’re averaging over 121 ppg. Look for them to pick up the pace on the Lakers right from the start and have them on their heels all night long. Back Portland.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Wizards +9.5

Orlando enters this matchup looking completely out of sync. The Magic have 1 win against the spread in 6 games this season and just 3 wins in their last 10 overall. Their defense, once considered a strength, has fallen apart early — allowing 120 PPG and struggling mightily in transition. Even when they get ahead, they’ve failed to protect leads late, which has cost them multiple winnable games. On the other side, the Wizards (1-4) will look to stop a 3-game losing streak, and they’ll bring energy and pace to do it. Washington’s young core isn’t afraid to run, and they’ve quietly hung around against tougher teams despite the record. They're capable of lighting it up, this group can keep things close when their offense gets rolling. The Wiz have nothing to fear here — this is a perfect spot to go get it done. Given Orlando’s shaky defense and poor ATS record, there’s clear value in grabbing the points with Washington. The Wizards’ tempo and offensive upside make them a live dog, and this feels like the night they finally cash in. Take Washington to cover and potentially pull off the upset.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Bucks +3.5

The Bucks are rolling right now — 4-0 ATS, 7-1 ATS in their last 8 at home, and Giannis looks flat-out unstoppable. He’s averaging over 36 PPG and has hung 30+ in 3 of his last 5 against the Warriors. Milwaukee’s also won 4 of the last 5 home matchups against Golden State, proving this building hasn’t been kind to the visitors. Golden State comes in off that 98-79 win over the Clippers, but this defense hasn’t looked right yet. They’re still sitting near the bottom of the league in efficiency and now have to deal with Giannis and a confident Bucks squad that just stormed back from double digits to beat the Knicks. That’s a veteran team finding its groove. Bucks catching points at home with Giannis? I’ll take that every time. Give me Milwaukee +3.5.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Celtics +3.5

Boston and Cleveland renew their rivalry and we’re on the Celtics as a home dog. Things have been a struggle without Tatum to start the year, but the Celtics always find a way to give Cleveland issues. Boston has momentum finally after throttling the Pelicans last time out and they finally found their offensive groove that put up 122 points. This is a tough spot for Cleveland as they have played a lot of games the past week and will have another contest Friday night back home. Situationally, Boston is in a good spot and they will have a fatigued Cavs side defensively. Back Boston.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -4.5

The 76ers are the move as they take on Orlando. Philadelphia is out of the gates fast and they’re doing it with their offense. They’re averaging 121 ppg and they’re pushing the tempo to the extreme. We’ve seen them get up and down the floor quickly and they’re overwhelming teams in transition. Orlando is just 1-3 and giving up 126.3 ppg so far this season. Look for the 76ers to control this game on both ends of the floor and create a lot of open shooting lanes as the game gets deeper. Back Phili.

Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Magic -5.5

Orlando is the move against the 76ers. The Magic will head on the road for the first time this season and this is a spot where they can cause issues for Phili. While the 76ers are 2-0, they’ve had some issues on defense. They gave up 116 to Boston and 121 to Charlotte. Orlando has an attack that will allow them to get some quick transition buckets and push the tempo on Philadelphia. This is too nice of a number to pass up. Expect this game to be close throughout. Back Orlando.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -6.5

Cleveland is the move here as they take on the Bucks. It’s the home opener for Cleveland after a 1-1 road trip. The offense has been stellar through the first two games and they are going to feast on this Bucks defense. Milwaukee has given up 116 and 120 in their first two games and Cleveland’s offense far and above better than the two teams they’ve played. Expect Cleveland to push the tempo and play extremely quick, which should result in a lot of transition buckets. Back Cleveland.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -1.5

The Raptors tip off earlier with the World Series in town and they have value against Milwaukee. Toronto throttled the Hawks in their opener, putting up 138 points in the process. This offense plays with a ton of speed and they aren’t shy about getting out in transition. Milwaukee allowed 120 points to a weak Wizards side and they’re going to struggle slowing down this Raptors offensive attack. Look for Toronto to get out and run, pushing the tempo on Milwaukee. Toronto is the move as they lay a small number. Back the Raptors.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver +2.5

The Nuggets are the move as they open the season against the Warriors. Golden State defeated the Lakers opening night, but this is a completely different matchup against the Nuggets. Denver is deep and has far more talent than LA, as they’re going to cause a lot of issues for Golden State. Jokic averaged 35.5 ppg in two meetings with Golden State last year and the Warriors just don’t have a solution for him defensively. Denver has the edge on both ends of the floor and getting points with them is a valuable play. Back Denver.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Thunder -7.5

The Thunder are the move here against the Pacers on Thursday. Oklahoma City won a double overtime thriller against Houston on opening night and this team looks poised to make another run at the title. They are just so deep and they can come at teams from so many different angles. We saw them dominate the paint against Houston and the Pacers defensively just don’t have a match for it. Indiana struggled last year with quick teams and they’re going to have their hands full with this Thunder attack. With Haliburton out, the Pacers will struggle early in the season to find their groove. Back the Thunder.

Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play

Raptors +5.5

Toronto is the move here as they take on Atlanta. Toronto returns their two key plays in RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl. Both played a huge part in any success they had last season and they added a few pieces around them in the offseason. Brandon Ingram will be the biggest key to join them as he brings in 23 ppg. They also added Immanuel Quickley, who will provide a huge boost with his 17.1 ppg. Toronto is a much deeper team heading into this season and the Hawks are still going to be a mess defensively. This is a great opening night spot on Toronto. Back the Raptors.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Knicks +4

New York looks to avoid elimination again as they head into Indiana for Game 6. New York blew out the Pacers in Game 5 as this team has been a roller coaster all postseason. They’re riding the momentum right now and this is a game where they’ll lean on their experience. The vets like Brunson and KAT are going to be the ones to step up again and they will set the tone in this game. New York has the experience playing and winning these eliminations games and they know they can flip the script by sending this series back to MSG. Grab the Knicks, who will wear down Indiana as this game goes on. Back New York.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Indiana +4.5

The Pacers and Knicks return to MSG for Game 5 and we're on the Pacers here with the points. Indiana split with the Knicks at home and still have a commanding 3-1 lead in this series. They have obviously proven all postseason they can win on the road and the Knicks are banged up entering this one. KAT is listed as questionable and even if he plays, he won't be at 100%. The Knicks are just 2-5 ATS here inside the Garden and Indiana still has all the momentum right now. This is a game where they can get out early and produce a lot of nervous energy inside this arena as the game goes on. Grab the points here.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

OKC -8

The Thunder look to close the West out on Wednesday when they welcome in the Timberwolves for Game 5. Oklahoma City was blown out in Game 3, but have looked flawless in all 3 of the other games this series. They’re getting things done on both ends of the floor and right now, Minnesota just can’t stop them offensively. The Thunder have showcased they can attack the rim, while also opening up many different shooting lanes for their outside threats. They’re putting up over 117 ppg in the postseason and Minnesota just can’t slow them down. Look for OKC to put their foot on the gas early in this one and not let up. Back the Thunder.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Pacers -2

Indiana is the move in Game 3 as they have a chance to take control of this series completely. It’s odd seeing Indiana as a favorite as they’ve been an underdog in almost every game this postseason and they’ve covered or won a majority of them. The Knicks right now aren’t getting contributions they need from their depth and the Pacers are creating a lot of clean looks offensively. The Pacers are wearing down the Knicks as the game goes on and this will be a spot where they do the same and have a lot of energy from this crowd behind them. Back Indiana.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Indiana +6.5

The Pacers are the move here as they take on the Knicks in Game 2. Indiana stormed back in Game 1 and stole it once again as they come in with all the momentum now. There is going to be some nervous energy in this building and this is going to be a game where the Pacers can play much looser. This is just too many points in this spot as the Pacers are playing with such confidence right now. Indiana can match the shooting of the Knicks and they’re just as physical. Look for this game to stay close as Indiana’s offense has averaged nearly 120 ppg this postseason. Back Indiana.

Friday 10* TOP NBA ATS Play

Pacers +4.5

Indiana is the move as they take on the Knicks in Game 1. Both underdogs advanced in the East and this is going to be a very physical series. This is too many points for the Pacers, who have already proven they can win on the road this postseason. They can look to their perimeter defense, that held the Cavaliers to under 30% from behind the arc in 4 of the 5 games last round. They can frustrate this Knicks side and win this game on the defensive end. New York has shown some issues when it comes to streaky shooting, which doesn’t bode well against this kind of defense. Back Indiana.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Thunder -7

Oklahoma City and Minnesota meet in the Western Conference Finals. The Thunder have good value here at home. Oklahoma City dominated Denver in Game 7 as they continued to force turnovers. Their defense seems to pick up the energy at home, as they forced 75 turnovers in total over the 4 home games in that series. That’s going to be the difference here as the Timberwolves are going to have their hands full trying to create open looks. All season long, the Thunder leaned on their defense and they’re doing that again here in the postseason. Look for them to make a statement in Game 1 and frustrate Minnesota all night long. Back OKC.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Boston +2.5

The Celtics are the move here in Game 6 as they try and send this series back to Boston. While they’re obviously without Tatum, this team still has plenty of talent to go around and they showed that in Game 5 as they forced this series back to MSG. Boston has 6 players score in double figures and they had the guys stepping up all over the place in Game 5. Pritchard and White both set the tone and they have the depth to beat this Knicks side. Look for Boston to put their emphasis on the defensive end and they can turn defense into offense after forcing turnovers. This is a game where Brown can step up in a big way and Boston can send this back home for Game 7. Grab the points.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

OKC -4.5

The Thunder are the move as they try to close out the Nuggets. Oklahoma City took a 3-2 lead as they got some clutch shots down the stretch of Game 5. Denver has had their chances to take control of this series and they’ve failed late and now they’re going to have their backs against the wall here. Their lack of depth has been a giant issue during this series as they’re asking a ton of different players to step up after playing nearly the entire game. The opposite can be said for OKC, who has plenty of weapons off the bench. They’ve worn down the Nuggets and this is a game where Denver is going to run out of gas. Grab the Thunder.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

OKC -10.5

The Thunder are the move as they return home even at 2-2. The Nuggets had their chance and couldn’t close out Game 4 as now all the momentum is with the Thunder and they’ll have the crowd energy behind them. The Thunder are going to put the clamps down defensively like they did in the 4th quarter of Game 4 as the Nuggets had no answer at the rim. The Thunder dominating all season by leaning on their defense and that’s going to be the difference once again. This will be a game dominated by the Thunder on both ends of the floor and keep their foot on the gas throughout. Back the Thunder.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -5

Cleveland is worth a move here in Game 4. After getting back to 100% health team wise, the Cavs throttled the Pacers in Game 3. They have all the momentum and this is another case where they can put their foot on the gas and come out firing. Mitchell having the support of Garland and Mobley not only gives the team depth, but it allows for plenty more options on the floor. Cleveland is the better team and they’ll have all the confidence to even this series up in another blowout fashion. Back Cleveland. 

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -5.5

The Celtics are the move in Game 3 as the series shifts to MSG. Boston blew huge leads in both Games 1 and 2 and now are in pretty much do or die mode entering Game 3. Despite being down 2-0, they still held double digit leads in both games and they’re the better overall team. They I’ll put an emphasis on coming out with the same fire and holding the lead this time. Boston is still deeper and they’re not going to shoot as bad as they’ve shot from behind the arc. They were one of the best in the regular season, shooting at a 37% clip from behind the arc. This will be a game they’re going to dictate everything and not take their foot off the gas. Lay the points.

Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -2

Cleveland is down 2-0 after blowing a 20 point lead in Game 2 in Cleveland. This is pretty much a must win and while they still have some players questionable, they’re still a valuable pick. Cleveland led for 4/5 of the game without the likes of Garland and Mobley and a couple of missed calls down the stretch costed them. Cleveland is still the better team here and Mitchell is the best player on the court. Look for Cleveland to come out with that same grind mentality and win this game on the defensive end. They let their guard down in the 4th quarter after playing relentless defense for 3 quarters in Game 2. They’re still the better team and have the value here. Back Cleveland.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Warriors +10.5

Golden State has the value here catching a lot of points. Even without Steph Curry, the Warriors are going to keep this close. Golden State is going to slow this pace down and really put an emphasis on this game being low scoring. They showcased they can frustrate teams with their defensive ability after having Houston clearly struggling to find open shots in the first round. Look for this to be a defensive struggle and for this game to be won with their 102 ppg against during this postseason. The Warriors have enough vets still on their team to keep this close. Back Golden State.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -9

This is a prime bounce back spot for Cleveland. The Cavaliers fell in Game 1 and it took the Pacers having an unreal shooting night to beat them by just a few. Cleveland has been one of the best teams when it comes to bouncing back and they're going to come out with some fire here. Garland remains questionable, but optimistic he can play here in Game 2, which would be a huge boost for this Cavs side, Regardless, they're going to shoot the ball better from 3 and they'll put much more pressure on these Indiana shooters. Grab the Cavs in a big way.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Knicks +9.5

This is too many points for the Knicks here in Game 1. New York and Boston typically provide a lot of scrappy games where both teams play with a lot of intensity. That is going to be the case here as the Knicks are going to do everything they can to wear down Boston. New York won their series with the Pistons thanks to the defensive end and that is what they'll have to do here. They allowed just 106.7 ppg during the series win and they'll put an emphasis on closing out on these outside shooters. Look for them to try and slow the game down, knocking Boston out of their rhythm. Grab the points.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Nuggets +6.5

Denver is the move here as they take on the Clippers in Game 6. The last 10 times these two teams have clashed, Denver has lost by 7+ points just 1 time. All these games tend to be close and this will be another game as they try to steal this game and series. It’s the experience of Jokic and Murray that are becoming the difference as this team goes when they go. Look for this to be another game they play through Jokic and we see Denver play with a ton of pressure on both ends of the floor. Grab the points.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nuggets +2

Denver is off a buzzer beating win and now they look to hold par with Game 5 at home. The Nuggets have all the momentum and they have stepped up defensively to make this series even. They’re suffocating these Clippers shooters and they’re not letting these LA stars get into rhythm. The Nuggets are a deeper team as well and with new life, Jokic and Murray are both going to step up here. With new found life in this series, Denver is going to feed off the home crowd energy and come out of the gates quick. Back Denver.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver +6.5

Denver has the value catching points here. The Nuggets aren’t going to go away quietly and they can erase that Game 3 quickly and focus on evening this series up. This is a game where Denver has to put the emphasis on getting back to their defensive ways. They allowed far too many easy looks for the Clippers in Game 3 and they’re at their best when they can shut down any transition game. This is the kind of game where the stars step up and it’ll be Murray and Jokic who come up big. Denver will get off to a quick start and wear down the Clippers with their relentless pressure. Back Denver.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -4.5

Boston is the move as they take on the Magic in Game 3. This series is just a complete mismatch and Boston isn’t going to mess around here. The Celtics are just better all around on both ends of the floor and they’ve done it with relentless pressure. Orlando hasn’t been able to find open looks anywhere on the floor and it’s resulted in many one and dones for them. On the offensive side, the Celtics are creating a lot of open shooting lanes with their transition play and it’s putting Orlando on their heels. Boston will come in with the same game plan and bury the Magic on Friday. Back Boston.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Thunder -8.5

The Thunder have value laying the points here. Simply put, Memphis is just out classed in this series. OKC blew them away in Games 1 and 2 and this one should be no different. The Thunder have won both playoff games by significant margins and they swept the regular season head to head meetings with wins by no less than 13. This will be another case where they push the tempo on Memphis and just have them on their heels all night long. Grab the Thunder.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -1

The Clippers have the value here as they take on the Nuggets on Monday in Game 2. Denver threw everything they had at LA in Game 1 and saw 4 of their starters rack up 45+ minutes in what was eventually a 2 point Denver win. Fatigue is going to catch up to them here, especially with how physical this LA side plays. The Clippers can still come in with plenty of confidence as they are right there with Denver in this series after Game 1. They saw they can go toe to toe and Denver still hasn't looked like themselves as of late. They are just 2-13 ATS in their last 15 home games and this will be a game where the Clippers come out with a lot of aggression. They're going to wear down this Nuggets side as this game gets deeper. Back Los Angeles.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Lakers -4

Los Angeles is the move against the Timberwolves on Saturday night. Los Angeles traded for Doncic and this team took off. They’re playing with such confidence and momentum heading into the postseason. Los Angeles finished as the 3 seed and while this team has the firepower offensively, they are such a force defensively. They gave up just 112 ppg this year and they have the ability to lock down on any team. Expect them to frustrate this Minnesota attack and put an emphasis on the defensive end with their relentless pressure. Back Los Angeles.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Pistons +7

The Pistons are the move here as they catch a lot of points against the Knicks. Injuries have been a downfall of this Knicks side all season long as they just can't seem to stay healthy. They are going to have their issues with gritty Pistons team that was a huge surprise this season. Detroit has grinded out games against some good teams all season long and they Cade Cunningham is going to be the difference. His presence on both ends of the floor is a handful and this team leans on his energy. Detroit will keep this close and they'll have their chances to steal it outright. Back Detroit.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Mavs +6.5

The Mavericks are the move grabbing the points. Dallas came out with a purpose in their play in game against the Kings and took it to them right from the start. Davis and Thompson dominated, combining for 50 points in the win and they’re going to come out with the same kind of aggression. Morant also continues to battle an ankle injury and even if he gives it a go tonight, he’s not going to be at 100%. Dallas has all the tools to compete with Memphis and they can score with their tempo. Grab the points in what will be a closer game than expected.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Orlando -5

We're on the Magic here as they take on the Hawks in the NBA Play-in. The Magic were a struggle in the first half of the season, but as this team got healthier, their play got significantly better. They're rolling right now and they've covered 4 of their last. 6 home games, while also going 11-4 ATS in their final 15 games prior to benching everyone on Sunday. Orlando is going to have the Hawks off their rhythm and really put the pressure on defensively. If they slow this game down, Atlanta will be out of their comfort zone and the Magic will have the edge on both sides of the floor. Back Orlando.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nets +6.5

Brooklyn is the move here against the Knicks. The Knicks have already clinched the 3 seed and this will be a game you don’t see many starters get minutes. The Knicks focus is to remain healthy and just head into the playoffs. Brooklyn will have a young core to build off and they saw all 5 starters score in double figures last game. They’re going to look to cap the season off with a win and they’ll have far more motivation than New York. Grab the points here as Brooklyn has played a majority of their best basketball at home this season.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Grizzlies +7

Memphis is the move here against the Nuggets. Memphis is in a bounce back spot after getting blown around by Minnesota on Thursday, but they matchup well here. Denver right now is in a weird spot after firing their coach and nobody really knows the direction this team is going into the playoffs with. Memphis still has won 3 of 4 and they’re back to playing good basketball as they allowed 108 points or less in those 3 wins. They can keep this close and they’ll have their chances to steal it outright. Back Memphis.

Friday 7* NBA ATS Play

Warriors -8.5

The Suns are a mess right now and this is a great spot on Golden State. Kevin Durant has been out and even if he plays here, he will probably be limited. That doesn’t bode well for a Suns team that has failed to cover in 7 straight games and they’ve lost 6 in a row SU. Meanwhile, the Warriors are playing very well on both sides of the ball and they’ve cashed in 4 of 5. This is a complete mismatch any which way you look at it and we’re getting good value on the Warriors. Back Golden State.

Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Heat -1

Miami takes on Milwaukee and we’re getting a good line on the Heat. Miami dealt all season with the Butler drama, but this team handled it well and they continue to battle for postseason positioning. They’re off a buzzer beating loss to Memphis, but this team is still playing very well and they’re extremely confident coming into play here. Miami will get some key pieces back here and Milwaukee will have their hands full with this defense. Miami ranks 4th in the league in victories, with a defensive rating of 104.3 in wins. Look for them to lean on their defense. Back Miami.

Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play

Lakers -1.5

Los Angeles is the move against the Warriors. This is a potential playoff matchup we could see down the road and the Lakers will want to send a message here. Los Angeles has been great at home all season long and they’re finally healthy again. They come in winners in back to back games and 3 of their last 4 as they’re getting the job done on both ends of the floor. Overall, this team concedes just 112 ppg and they’re going to turn up the intensity on the defensive end. They matchup well with the Warriors and this is a good line.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -10.5

Cleveland is the move here against the Knicks. The Cavs are inching closer to clinching the 1 seed in the East and situationally this is a great spot. Cleveland is 13-4 ATS with the rest advantage while the Knicks have gone 2-10 ATS with no rest. We’ve seen them have so many issues with the Knicks struggling against top teams as well. They come in 1-10 ATS against top 5 teams and the Cavs have dominated them this season. The Knicks are struggling and they have injuries to deal with. Back Cleveland.

Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Charlotte -1

Charlotte is the move against Utah. The Jazz have dropped 5 in a row and they just don’t have much firepower offensively right now. They have been blown out in all 5 losses and they have scored under 100 points in 3 of those games. This team right now just can’t compete and they’re going to struggle with Charlotte’s speed. The Hornets only give up 113 ppg which is solid for a team that has been a struggle like them. This is a good spot for the Hornets to play with a ton of pressure and cause a lot of issues for the Jazz. Back Charlotte.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -3

The Raptors are the move against the 76ers. Phili has been begging for this season to end as injuries and so much drama has given this team issues. Toronto has not thrown the towel in just yet and they are playing well with 3 straight wins. During this stretch, they’ve allowed 104 points or less and Phili will have their hands full with their suffocating defense. Look for this game to be dictated by the Raptors on both ends of the floor. The 76ers have lost 5 straight ATS and this game has the makings of a 6th in a row. Back Toronto.

Sunday 7* NBA ATS Play

Boston -12.5

The Celtics are the move here on Saturday. This road trip has been a successful one for the Celtics and this is a clear cut mismatch on Saturday. Boston has covered all 4 games of this road trip and they’re doing it in pretty convincing fashion. This is typically the time they really turn things on so close to the playoffs and the Spurs just don’t have the firepower to keep up. The Spurs have been a mess defensively, giving up over 123 ppg in their last 15 and Boston’s offense will have a field day. Look for them to set the tone early and have plenty of open looks at the basket. Grab Boston.

Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play

Thunder -10

This is a tough spot for Memphis as they take on the Thunder. OKC has dominated this head to head matchup, winning 8 straight in the process against them. They covered the number in 7 of those games and they just always seem to have the edge against Memphis. Memphis has been a struggle despite even winning their last game as they have gone 4-17 ATS since 2/5. They are struggling right now with the injuries they have and this is not a team you want to see on your schedule when you're having issues. Back OKC.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Suns +4.5

The Suns are the move as this team is red hot right now. Phoenix catches the Celtics at the right time for starters as Tatum is likely to sit out. The Suns are in the midst of a race for the postseason and they’ve got themselves back into it with wins in 4 straight and 5 of their last 6. Phoenix knocked off Cleveland and Milwaukee in consecutive games and they’re getting the job done on both ends of the floor. Look for this game to feature a lot of back and forth, with the Suns going right at this Celtics side. They haven’t feared anyone lately and the confidence is at a high. Back Phoenix.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Portland +7

Portland is the move against Cleveland. Cleveland finally ended their losing streak, but this team still looks tired and this west coast trip has worn them out. This will be the final game before heading home and they’ll have one eye on going home after the game. Portland is not the team to overlook and they gave Cleveland everything they could handle earlier this season back in Cleveland. Portland has won 4 of their last 5 and they have continued to be solid defensively as of late. In the 4 wins, they’ve held the opposition to 109 points or less. Grab the points here.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nets +2.5

Brooklyn is the move against the Mavs on Monday night. The Mavs are in off a win, but this team still is just a mess all over the place. They continue to battle injuries and this team just doesn’t have the weapons to keep up. The Nets record may not be the best, but we’ve seen this team give some of the top teams issues all season long. They’re a young team, but they have a ton of depth that’ll be the difference here. Look for them to play with a ton of speed and they will win the battle of the benches here. Back Brooklyn. 

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Pistons -8.5

Detroit is worth the move as they take on Dallas. The Mavs are just in free fall mode. They’ve won 1 game this month and they just continue to battle injury after injury. Over their last 3 games they’ve conceded over 130 points in each of them and Detroit is going to expose that here. The Pistons come in after a buzzer beating win over Miami and they’re playing with complete confidence right now. This team is too good on both ends of the floor for Dallas and this figures to be a game where the Pistons control everything. Lay the points here.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Lakers +3.5

Los Angeles and Milwaukee meet and this is a great spot on the Lakers. The Lakers are on a high after throttling the Nuggets as they’ve won 3 straight and are playing exceptionally well. Doncic finished with 31-9-7 as this offense is rolling with him leading the way. The Lakers catch the Bucks in the midst of a long west coast trip and that bodes well for a Lakers team that is clicking. We won’t see anyone benched with the back to back as the Lakers cannot afford to sit anyone with the injuries they have. Doncic will lead the way again and this is a great number to get on the home side.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -5

Cleveland is in a bounce back spot here as they've dropped back to back games. This is a great matchup for them to get themselves back on track as the Kings. Despite losing to LA last night, they're still 22-10 ATS on the road and 15-5-1 ATS against the West. The Kings continue to play without Sabonis and it's made them a completely different team. This is a game where Cleveland's offense should roll as the Kings have given up north of 120 in their last 4 games. Look for them to play with a ton of pace and really push the issue on this defense. Cleveland will look to make a statement early in this game. Back the Cavs.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nuggets -1.5

Denver is the move against the Lakers on Wednesday. The Nuggets are going to be much more healthy in this game as both Jokic and Murray are expected to be back for this one. The Nuggets at full health are just so deep and they’ve owned the Lakers in the head to head matchup. They’re 2-1 this season against them and they’ve won 14 of the last 16 head to head games. With James still out, this is simply too much to overcome for the Lakers. Denver’s weapons will overwhelm this Lakers defense and we’ll see them really put an emphasis on creating open shooting lanes like they did in their win over Golden State last time out. Back Denver.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Memphis +2.5

Memphis and Sacramento meet and this is a good spot on the Grizzlies here. The Kings are free falling and they're coming up with some key injuries as they wind down the 2nd half. Sabonis tweaked his hamstring again in what was the third straight loss for the Kings. They've lost their last 3 by 29, 26, and 17, as they continue to get blown out. Memphis is back to their old selves and they are going to push the tempo on this Kings defense that is reeling right now. Memphis has scored 120+ in 4 straight and they're averaging 122.3 ppg over their last 12 games. This is two teams just trending in opposite directions. Back Memphis.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Warriors -6.5

The Warriors are the move here as they take on the Knicks. The Knicks have played well this year, but when it comes to playing the top teams in the NBA, things have been a struggle. The Warriors are red hot, winners of 6 in a row which includes a win over these Knicks during the run. Golden State has scored 114 points or more in every game of this run and they’re going to have their way against with this Knicks defense. With Butler, the Warriors have just looked so different and better. They’re going to once again push the tempo on the Knicks and overwhelm them defensively. There’s good value with the Warriors laying the points.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Jazz -2

Utah is the move as they take on Toronto on Friday night. Utah is just looking for some kind of momentum right now after dropping 7 in a row and seeing Toronto come into town will be a nice breath of fresh air for them. The Raptors have been a struggle this season and they've been unable to find it offensively at times. Averaging just 110.8 ppg, they have not had any sort of consistency. Utah is going to utilize their speed here and look to use their tempo to take advantage of the Raptors inability to score. We're getting good value on this line as Utah will have far more motivation on Friday night, at home. Back Utah.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Wolves -10

Minnesota and Orlando meet and this is a nice spot to fade the Magic. Minnesota is rolling right now offensively as they come in on a tear. They have put up 115+ points in 10 of their last 12 games and they're averaging 119 ppg during this latest stretch. Orlando simply doesn't have the firepower to keep up. They are averaging just 104.4 ppg themselves on the offensive end and it's been a struggle. Their inability to create open looks and finish at the rim has been costly in games. Minnesota plays far too quick and they're going to overwhelm the Magic defensively. Look for this game to be lopsided from the start where Orlando doesn't have much of an answer on either end of the floor.

Friday 7* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -7

The Warriors and Kings meet and this is a good spot on Golden State. The Warriors blew out the Kings by 24 the last time these two teams met and they have looked like a completely different team with Jimmy Butler. They’ve won 10 of 11 with him and they are getting things done on both ends of the floor. The Kings meanwhile have covered just 2 of their last 7 road games and they have been a mess defensively. This will be a game where the Warriors push the tempo on them again and have them on their heels all night long. Lay the points.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -3

The Celtics and OKC meet in the marquee matchup of the day on ESPN and Boston is the move at home. The Celtics are so tough just in general, but at home they're even harder to defeat. They come in winners of 5 in a row and they have allowed 108 points or less in 4 of those wins. While their offense gets the attention, they are typically one of the better defensive teams in the league. They give up just 108.2 ppg and they will frustrate opposing offenses. Look for them to pick up the intensity even more here as they look to send a message to the top team in the west. Back Boston.

Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Pistons -14.5

Detroit and Washington meet and this is a good spot on the Pistons laying the point. The Wizards for starters are just one of the worst defensively. They give up nearly 121 ppg and they haven't slowed anyone down this season. Their inability to stop teams in transition has been atrocious and they continue to give up many easy looks at the rim. Detroit has been one of the surprises in the NBA this season as they sit 6th in the east. They're the complete opposite defensively, allowing just 113 ppg and they love to swarm to the ball. This is a complete mismatch on both ends of the court. Back the Pistons.

Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Houston -4.5

The Rockets lay a small number and have the value here at home against the Magic. Orlando comes in 5 games under .500 and they just haven't had any sort of consistency as they come in losers in 5 of their last 6. Averaging just 104.6 ppg, they haven't been able to find any sort of groove and injuries have piled up on them at times this year. That won't bode well going into a game against Houston, who just put up 146 points in a win over the Pelicans last time out. Houston is much more well rounded on both ends of the floor and they're going to control a lot here on Monday. Back Houston.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Nets +6.5

The Nets catch points against the Lakers and this is a good value spot on them. Lebron James will be out a few weeks with a groin injury and that has put a bit of a damper on the run the Lakers were on. Over the last month, Brooklyn has given some of the top teams in the league issues and this is a case where they catch the Lakers at the right time. Brooklyn is a younger team and they are going to have the advantage with their speed. They love to get out and run and they will wear down this Lakers side that is dealing with injuries. Luka Doncic will be in the lineup, but he has also dealt with injuries all season and isn't 100%. This is a great spot for the Nets to keep this close.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Pistons -2.5

Detroit is the move as they lay a small number against Portland. Portland has dropped 3 of their last 4 and this is going to be a tough next two days for them. They have to deal with a scrappy Pistons team while knowing a trip to Golden State is on the horizon tomorrow. Detroit has caused a lot of issues for teams with their defensive play that is giving up just 113.1 ppg. Detroit will force turnovers and difficult shots, making things incredibly tough for Portland all night long. Detroit won the first meeting of this season series and they are just the more complete team. Back Detroit.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -7

The Celtics welcome in the Lakers on Saturday night on ABC and this is a great spot on Boston. This is a chance for the Celtics to really send a message to one of the top teams in the West and Boston is extremely tough at home. To be fair, this team is extremely tough to play anywhere, but the Celtics have won 3 straight home games, which includes a win over the Nuggets in that span. This is a tough matchup for the Lakers, who will struggle with the speed and the Celtics ability to hit the 3 ball. Boston will wear them out as this game goes on. Back Boston.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Hawks +3

Atlanta and Indiana meet in the 2nd of their back to back and this is a nice spot on Atlanta. The Hawks took them down Thursday 124-118 as the Pacers right now are just too thin as they continue to battle injuries. They're likely going to be without Haliburton and Mathurin again on Saturday, which isn't a good sign against a Hawks team that plays extremely quick. Atlanta is averaging 117 ppg and this offense can score in flurries. They're going to overwhelm the Pacers once again in a game where they should be able to find a lot of open looks in transition. Back Atlanta.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nuggets -7.5

Denver is the move here against Phoenix. The Suns defense has been absolutely atrocious as of late and they’re giving up over 128 ppg over their last 8. They have no confidence and it’s been apparent with the frustrations on the bench during games. Denver comes in off a comeback win over the Kings and Denver has scored over 124 points in 9 of their last 13 home games. They are playing exceptionally well at home and the Suns right now are bottoming out. Denver is going to keep their foot on the gas from the opening tip and overwhelm this Suns team.  

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Magic -6.5

Orlando is the move as they take on Chicago on Thursday. Orlando and Chicago both are battling for the bottom playoff spots in the East and this is a game where the Magic have the value as they matchup extremely well. Orlando has ran into a couple tough losses lately as they’ve been front there against some good teams. The Magic only give up 105 ppg and they will need to lean on their defense in this game. Look for them to slow down the pace and have the Bulls off their rhythm, as they like to play quick. The Magic are the deeper and better overall team.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -2

The Clippers and Suns meet Tuesday night and this is a good spot and number on LA. The Clippers ran into a red hot Lakers team the past two games, but this is a great matchup for them against a defense that has been atrocious. The Suns come in giving up 116 ppg and they were just beaten up by the Timberwolves on this court on Sunday. Los Angeles is a deeper team and they’re a tough matchup for the Suns. Look for the Clippers to get back to leaning on their defense as they’re going to make things extremely difficult for this Suns front court. Grab the Clippers as they bounce back against a Suns team that is playing with very little confidence right now.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nets +4

Brooklyn is the move as they take on the Spurs. San Antonio has gone south since Wemby was announced out of the year as they have struggled on both ends of the floor. Defensively they have become an absolute mess and they're off a performance that saw them give up 146 points to OKC last time out. They are getting torched in transition and their inability to control the paint now is allowing the opposition to get easy looks at the rim. Brooklyn is a younger team and they play with a lot of speed that is going to cause issues here. Look for the Nets to get out and run and continue to attack early in the shot clock, as they'll wear down this Spurs defense. Back Brooklyn.

Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Golden State +5

The Warriors are the move here as they take on the Knicks. Golden State has been solid since acquiring Jimmy Butler and they look like a complete team coming into play. They're off a win over the Hornets and they've won 6 of their last 7 as they're getting the job done on both ends of the floor. In those 6 wins, the most points they've given up has been just 115 and they've held the opposition to 111 points or less in the remainder of those games. The Knicks have struggled against the top teams in the NBA and this game will be no different for them. Look for the Warriors' pressure to overwhelm them on both ends of the floor and for Golden State to create a lot of open looks offensively as this game goes on. Back Golden State.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Memphis -8.5

Memphis takes on Atlanta and there is good value with the home side here. Memphis continues to be one of the best teams in the West as they're dominating the offensive end. They come in averaging 123.2 ppg overall this season and their speed is just too much for some teams. Atlanta has been atrocious on the defensive end themselves, making this a horrible matchup for them. Coming into Monday, the Hawks are giving up nearly 120 ppg. They've dropped 5 of their last 6 and the last 2 losses have been blowouts. They just don't have the firepower to keep up in this matchup. Back Memphis.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Portland +4

Portland is the move on Monday as they take on 76ers. Philadelphia finally got in the win column on Saturday, but that comes after they had won just 1 game the entire month of February. They're now without Embiid for the remainder of the season and they are just a mess overall. Portland had a hard fought loss in OT to Cleveland on Sunday, but they can take away many positives from the game. They still have won 4 of their last 5 and they're getting the job done on the offensive end. Before putting up 129 on Sunday, they had performances of 121, 129, 114, and 141 in their last 4 wins. This is a game they can steal outright even, as they're just as good, if not better than the 76ers.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -3.5

Boston lays a small number and has value against Denver. Boston has dropped back to back games which is rare for them and that’ll lead to them coming out firing away here. They matchup well with Denver, who has had issues with teams that love to hoist the 3 ball. Look for Boston to replicate their game from Jan 7, where they look to push the ball in transition and create a lot of open shooting lanes for their outside threats. Back Boston.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Kings -9.5

The Kings are the move against the Jazz on Wednesday. Utah has just become an ultimate fade with how bad their defense has become. They’re giving up nearly 120 ppg and they just don’t have the offensive firepower to keep up with those struggles. The Kings are one of the quickest teams in the league and they’re going to push the tempo on Utah. The Jazz will have far too many issues with this speed. Back the Kings.

Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Grizzlies -7.5

Memphis is the move against the Suns on Tuesday. The Grizzlies run into a Phoenix team that is just 2-8 this month and they’re a mess right now. They’re struggling to find any sort of consistency on both ends of the floor and that doesn’t bode well when they’re taking on a very good Memphis side. The Grizzlies average nearly 123 ppg and they are going to really push the tempo on the Suns. This is a complete mismatch of a game and there’s great value with Memphis being able to dictate a lot. Grab them to keep their foot on the gas and run away with this one.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -7

The Cavaliers have value on the road here against Orlando. The Magic have beat up on lesser teams, but when it comes to playing the top teams in the league, they’re struggling. Coming into Tuesday, Orlando has gone 4-13 ATS against the top 10 teams and they’ve also covered just 2 of 9 against the top 5 teams. Cleveland is rolling right now and they’re playing exceptionally well overall. They’ve dominated the road slate, covering 12 of their last 15 games. This is a great spot on them against a Magic team that will lack confidence coming into Tuesday. Back Cleveland. 

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -10.5

The Celtics have value on Tuesday in Toronto. Boston is heating up and they’re looking to continue being a force in the NBA. They’ve won 5 straight games by 13 points or more and they’re blowing everyone out that gets in their way. Toronto is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 and they’re starting to fade quickly. That doesn’t bode well against Boston, who is playing with a ton of confidence right now. This is a complete mismatch of a spot and the Celtics are going to dictate everything here. Back Boston.

Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Thunder -11.5

The Thunder and Timberwolves battle again as part of a back to back home and home. We’re on the Thunder here laying the points at home. Oklahoma City has been dominant at home, while the Timberwolves have struggled on the road. This Thunder defense is giving up just 105 ppg and they continue to be dominant. They’re suffocating opposing shooters and they force a lot of turnovers that turn into easy buckets the other way. This is a mismatch of a game and the Thunder will come out with much more fire in this spot. Back OKC.

Monday 7* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -2.5

The Clippers are the move against the Pistons on Monday. The Pistons are playing well, but they’re being way too overvalued in this spot as they are still not as good and deep as this LA side. The Clippers are in the midst of a long road trip and they are in a bounce back spot after losing last night to Indy. The Clippers are going to come out and push the issue on the Pistons, who have struggled defensively as a whole. Look for a very inspired game here from LA as they’ll put the brakes on their 2 game losing skid.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nets -3

The Nets are in a valuable spot Monday. This is a great fade spot on the Wizards, who have been abysmal this season. They’re giving up nearly 122 ppg which is one of the worst marks in the entire NBA. They have struggled to slow any team down and they’re going to have their hands full with this transition game the Nets bring. Look for Brooklyn to push the ball in transition and really open up shooting and driving lanes with their speed. Back Brooklyn.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Lakers +7

The Lakers have been tormented by the Nuggets, but this is a new look team and they have value catching points. Los Angeles has looked far better and more fluid on both ends of the floor with Doncic and they are one of the top teams now as they are built to compete. This will be a game they can go toe to toe with the Nuggets and they’ll push the tempo on them. Expect this game to be close throughout and for this to come down to the wire. This is too many points to pass up on.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Warriors -2

The Warriors have value here as they take on the Kings. Golden State has looked like a different team since acquiring Jimmy Butler as they’re playing at a high level. They’re 3-1 since acquiring him and right now they’re firing away offensively on all cylinders. Butler is scoring 21.3 ppg in that span and it’s helped Curry create far more open looks. This is a great spot to grab the hotter team. The Warriors have all the confidence in the world and they matchup well with the Kings.

Friday 7* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -12.5

Cleveland has the value as they tip off the 2nd half against Brooklyn. Cleveland covered these big spreads all first half long and they blew Brooklyn out a few times in head to head meetings. Cleveland is just far too powerful as they are putting up 122.7 ppg so far this year. They’re going to run and gun on this Nets defense that has had a ton of issues this year. Look for this pace to be too much for the Nets in a game that’s a blow out from the start. Back Cleveland.

Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play

Pacers +2.5

Indiana is the move as they take on Memphis. The Pacers are one of those sneaky teams who can cause a lot of issues for the opposition on both ends of the floor. Indiana plays with such a quick tempo and it will cause plenty of issues for Memphis on Thursday. Indiana is averaging 116 ppg and they consistently have a ton of shooters on the floor. Combine that with their inside presence and this is a game where they can go toe to toe with Memphis. Grab the home side.  

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -7

The NBA is back for the unofficial 2nd half and this is a great spot for Boston to pick up right where they left off. The Celtics blew a lot of teams out in the first half of the season and were very profitable covering the number. The 76ers are the complete opposite as this team has been one of the biggest flops this season so far. With drama on and off the court, they have struggled to find any consistency. The Celtics are just too powerful offensively and their ability to hit the 3 with almost everyone on the court is too overwhelming. Lay the points here.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Grizzlies +4.5

Memphis is one of the few teams that tends to play well on back to backs and this is a great spot on them. They took down Phoenix on Tuesday in a game they led for a majority of. They have been one of the best teams on both ends of the floor so far this season and coming into Wednesday, their B2B numbers are stellar. They are 7-1 ATS with no rest and 11-1 ATS with the rest disadvantage. They’ve dominated outside their divisional opponents and they are a team that typically won’t rest guys either. Look for them to continue this trend and take down a Clippers team that has been inconsistent as of late.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Oklahoma City -13.5

This is a great spot on the Thunder and an even better spot to fade the Heat. Miami is in trouble and they are struggling right now. The Heat come in failing to cover 10 of their last 14 and 4 of their last 5 losses have come by 16 or more points. They just have no confidence and cannot keep up with teams right now and have failed to cover in 5 of their last 6. Oklahoma City is not the team you want to see when you’re struggling like this and they’re going to pick apart this Miami side on both ends of the floor. This is going to be a completely lopsided game as OKC has dominated the East. Lay the points. 

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -5.5

Boston has the value here as Miami is struggling right now. The Heat traded Jimmy Butler after dealing with all the distracting drama he caused and things are in a tailspin for them. They have covered just 1 out of their last 5 and are 2-5 ATS at home in their last 7. Their home losses in that span have been all blowouts and they already fell to Boston here in Miami by 19 earlier this season. The Celtics are the better team on both ends of the floor and it’s not really even close. They are very profitable when laying 6 points or less this season and that trend will continue here on Monday. Lay the points.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Blazers +6.5

Portland may be the hottest team in the NBA right now and they have value grabbing points. Portland has won 6 straight and 10 of their last 11. They continue to be underdogs in these kinds of spots and this is too many points as they’re doing everything right defensively. They’re dominating the boards and over the last 15 games, they rank 3rd defensively. Combine that with them covering 11 straight games and this team has been extremely profitable. They matchup well with Minnesota, who has been inconsistent and struggled at times with high pressure teams like Portland. Grab the points. 

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Rockets +3.5

Houston has value here as they take on the Mavs. Houston has been taking the NBA by storm as they’re the surprise team this season, as they sit 4th in the west. They’re doing on the defensive end, as they’re giving up just 108 ppg and putting the clamps down on some good teams. This is going to be a game where they really out an emphasis on suffocating these Mavs shooters. The Rockets play with such an intensity and they’re better on both ends of the floor than Dallas. Catching points here is the move and there’s good value in this spot on the Rockets. 

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Kings +1.5

The Kings are in a good situational spot against Portland. Sacramento catches Portland in a tough schedule stretch as this will be their 4th game in 6 days. They also have a grueling 3 game road trip looming which isn’t going to be easy and they’ll have one eye on that. Sacramento is going to push a ton of tempo on them. The Kings are at their best when they can play quick and Portland has struggled with teams who love to get out in transition. Sacramento averages 117 ppg and they’re going to turn things up against this defense. Back Sacramento.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play
