Golden State +1.5

The Warriors were tough luck losers in Game 3 both SU and ATS. 

This is a nice rebound spot here for them. 

Golden State still has the edge as they not only lead 2-1, but they have the overall better team by far. It's been James Harden and only James Harden for the most part for the Rockets this series as now they just need to focus on shutting him down. 

Look for Golden State to really put an emphasis on that here as they know they can pretty much get what they want offensively against this Houston defense. 

Some trends to note. Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.

The Warriors are a bounce back team. Look for them to come out firing here.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray,

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Portland -3

After a crazy game 3, these two teams come back at it on Sunday with Portland looking to seize control.

The Trail Blazers have been able to match the intensity of the Nuggets, as they have proven they can go toe to toe with them. It starts with their offensive abilities as Portland has been on quite a nice run. 

They use plenty of tempo and have shown the ability to hit from anywhere in transition. That, combined with their length and ability to control the paint has been the real difference maker.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Trail Blazers are 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a ATS loss, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State +4

The Warriors catching points here is a a beautiful sight. 

Golden State has taken care of business in the first two games of what has been an entertaining series. These teams have gone right at each other and for good reason as the rivalry continues to heat up.

Still, Golden State is the better team overall and catching points even on the road is nice in this spot The Warriors have showed little issue with playing away from Oracle and Houston really has only season James Harden step up. With the lack of scoring depth here, Golden State not only has the opportunity to cover, but also even steal this one outright.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* NBA ATS TOP Play

Denver +4

Denver has been a back and forth team all postseason long.

They have shown they can go on the road win though, which is a huge key here. Denver handled business in Game 1, but couldn't get over the hump in Game 2 as the series shifts to Portland even at 1-1. 

Denver is allowing just 103.7 points per game this postseason as their defense has been surprisingly good. They will need to get back to what made them so successful in Game 1 as closing out on these Portland shooters is so important. If they can do that, this will be a completely different game here.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games.Nuggets are 19-8-1 ATS in their last 28 vs. NBA Northwest.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Boston -2

The Celtics have value laying the small number here. 

The two teams split in Milwaukee as the Celtics did their job and come back home with the advantage. 

Boston is a tough team to crack at home too, which really gives them value here. The Celtics come into this one 30-13 SU when playing inside the TD Garden. They are a team that can slow down this high flying attack from Milwaukee as we've seen them be able to control the paint and really close out on shooters well.

Look for that to be the case here as the energy level will be extremely high with the home crowd behind them. 

Some trends to note. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.Celtics are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -1

The Raptors on the road have value here laying just a point.

After completely dominating Game 1, the Raptors dig themselves just too big of a hole to get out of in Game 2. Now, they look to steal homecourt back and laying this low of a number is such a nice spot.

Toronto is still the better team overall. The Raptors have so many weapons on the offensive end and they can beat you both with their inside game and out. Look for them to push the ball in transition as this 76ers team has a lot of gaps in their defense. 

Some trends to note. Raptors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss, and are 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings. The favorite is 21-8 ATS in the last 29 head to head meetings.

This is a prime bounce back spot.

Toronto will certainly have a better day shooting and can frustrate this 76ers team enough. 

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -7

The Bucks have value here in Game 2. 

Milwaukee was knocked around in Game 1 as they faced the reality of the Celtics being much better competition than the Pistons. 

Now, they look to even things up and this is a game they will be much more prepped for. While Milwaukee has the weapons to score with the best of them, they will need to put a focus on moving the ball around and utilizing their shooters more.

Expect them to have a much better offensive scheme in this one.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 24-8-1 ATS in their last 33 games playing on 1 days rest.Bucks are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games following a ATS loss.

The Bucks are a bounce back team. Look for that here.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Portland +4

The Trail Blazers have value here catching points. 

Portland dominated the Thunder in round 1 as Damien Lillard hit an unbelievable shot in Game 5 to send Portland through. 

Now, they have the task of Denver, who was taken to the brink against the Spurs. This is a great matchup of two teams who love to get out and run. Portland has the weapons to keep up with this high flying Denver attack. 

On top of that, the extra rest will certainly help. As Denver needed 7 games to Portland's 5, this is a nice chance for them to utilize the Nugget's fatigue issues.

Some trends to note. Trail Blazers are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games playing on 3 or more days rest.Trail Blazers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS loss.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -5.5

The Warriors handled the Clippers in 6 games, as they absolutely crushed them in Game 6 on the road.

Now they return back to take on Houston in Game 1 of the Semi Finals here.

The Warriors hold an edge as they simply have too man weapons for the Rockets. They can beat them from so many different angles and can even shut Harden down with the stingy defense they have. 

Look for that to be the key here and all series as the likes of Draymond Green and Kevin Durant can shut Harden down and no allow him any space to shoot.

Some trends to note. Rockets are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Warriors are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.

The value here sits with the Warriors as they should roll at home.

Back Golden State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

San Antonio +6

The Spurs and Nuggets battle in Game 7 and the visitors have value. 

This has been a crazy series, as it's been incredibly back and forth. Here, San Antonio once again can rely on their experience to carry them.

San Antonio has been in plenty of Game 7s in their postseason history and this is one game where this roster can really learn a lot from the past. With all the pressure and nerves of a Game 7, this experienced roster in San Antonio will have the edge over a Nuggets team that is finding themselves with the first bit of adversity they've encountered.

Some trends to note. Spurs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.Spurs are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia +6.5

Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semi Finals takes place on Saturday and the visitors have value catching the points here.

Philadelphia and Toronto play such similar styles, this series is going to be an absolute grind. 

The 76ers love to get up and down the floor, as they have weapons that shoot the 3 and control the paint. Philadelphia utilized that in their series win over Brooklyn, as they just simply ran right over them.

Look for them to get out in transition and really attack the Raptors here.

Some trends to note. 76ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.76ers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

San Antonio -3

The Spurs have their backs against the ropes here, but returning home gives them a nice edge. 

First off, the Spurs are a team that has plenty of playoff experience. With that experience has come the ability to play in such situations as this. 

This is a case where the Spurs will have the huge edge because of that experience and really be able to pick things up. 

They've also been dominant at home this year. Despite a rare home loss this series to the Nuggets, San Antonio still comes in 33-10 and 25-18 ATS in that span. 

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 Conference Quarterfinals games.Nuggets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Thursday games.

Back San Antonio.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles +14

The Clippers look to avoid elimination and this is a game where we should see them really step up here.

This has been an odd series to say the least. We've seen the Clippers erase a 31 point deficit and showcase they can compete with this Warriors team. Then on the other hand, they have struggled and really looked bad at many times. 

This is a case where the Clippers shouldn't go quietly. Look for them to really battle here as we should see them really go right at this Warriors team.

Some trends to note. Clippers are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 vs. NBA Pacific. Clippers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

While they may not win this one, expect it to be close throughout.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Portland -3

All the momentum has shifted to Portland in this series. 

The Trail Blazers come into this one with a chance to close things out, as they dominated the Thunder in Game 4.

Portland has proven a few things through the first 4 games. They have a much better offensive attack and they have the ability to shut down the Thunder's stars. 

Portland dropped 111 points in their win in Game 4 as they simply dominated. They have the ability to hit you from so many different angles and they're doing just that to this OKC defense. On top of that, Westbrook and George really haven't been able to get things going overall. 

Some trends to note. Thunder are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home. Thunder are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Look for Portland to close it out here.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Detroit +12.5

This number is simply too high here.

This is almost a pride place for the Pistons. Detroit has been knocked around badly through the first 3 games of this series.

With the potential of getting swept tonight, this is a case where Detroit can get up for their fans and really make an effort here. The Pistons aren't as bad as they have looked. This team still has plenty of talent to go around and they have the ability to score. Look for them to push the tempo here themselves and really try to attack from all angles with their inside game and shooters.

Some trends to note. Home team is 5-2-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings. Pistons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Portland +5.5

After Oklahoma City got themselves back in the series, the Trail Blazers look to seize back control here in Game 4.

Portland still leads 2-1 with a shot at heading back home with command. Things got chippy in Game 3 as both Lillard and Westbrook continued to exchange words all night long.

Now, it’s Lillards turn to flip the script as this Portland team has a lot of offensive threats. Look for them to really push the tempo on Oklahoma City and force them into some tough situations on Sunday. With that in mind, Portland should be able to dictate the pace and attack in transition here.

Don’t expect Oklahoma City to shoot lights out from 3 again. This is Portland’s game to control as they have a legit shot at stealing this one.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Orlando +5.5

The Magic have value at this number here.

Orlando has showcased they can hang with the Raptors. Despite the loss in Game 3, Orlando still has their confidence as they have an opportunity to even things up.

The Magic will need to rely on their defense once again as they are at their best when they can turn defense into offense. Look for them to really pick up the intensity defensively and suffocate these Raptors shooters.

That combined with the ability to force turnovers is the key in this one. Expect Orlando to get out and run in transition, as they can attack the rim and shoot the 3 on the fly.

Look for this one to be close throughout.

Back Orlando.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -8.5

The Bucks and Pistons send the series to Detroit and the visitors have value laying the points.

Milwaukee has proven this series is just too lopsided. The Bucks have taken it too the Pistons in back to back games, covering the big number with ease. 

This should be no different as Detroit really doesn't play any better at home versus the road. The Pistons are averaging just 108 points per home game, compared to the 106 they give up. Look for the Bucks to really continue to push the tempo and force the Pistons out of their comfort zone.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 7-2-2 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 2 days rest. Bucks are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

Look for Milwaukee to run away once again. 

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

San Antonio -3.5

The Spurs have value laying the number once again here.

San Antonio never let the Nuggets gain any momentum back after they started the 2nd quarter on a 16-0 run. The Spurs rebounded from that point and took off en route to a 2-1 series lead.

San Antonio has dominated the Nuggets at home, winning in 14 straight when these two teams meet here head to head.

Look for the Spurs to dominate once again here, as this has almost become a mind game for the Nuggets. That, combined with their playoff inexperience will come out here, as they are facing some solid adversity come Saturday.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. Nuggets are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 Conference Quarterfinals games.

Back San Antonio.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Oklahoma City -7.5

The Thunder failed to put up much of a fight in Portland and come in with their backs against the wall.

The rest will prove to be huge here for them.

The Thunder come in 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games when playing on two days rest. They've have their time to adjust and go back to the drawing board here as they look to avoid an 0-3 hole.

Playing at home will be huge for them here. The Thunder have played some of their best basketball in OKC and we should see both Russell Westbrook and Paul George really step up here.

Some trends to note. Trail Blazers are 9-24-2 ATS in their last 35 Conference Quarterfinals games. Trail Blazers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back Oklahoma City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Indiana -3

The Pacers had their chance to even up the series as they lead for a majority of Game 2. However, a late collapse actually saw them even fail to cover the number.

The series shifts back to Indiana, where this team plays some of their best basketball. 

Indiana comes into this one 29-12 SU at home this season, as they have dominated on the defensive end. The Pacers hold one fo the best numbers in the NBA at home, allowing just 101 points per game. 

Look for them to put an emphasis on that and really feed off the crowd here.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. Pacers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 Friday games.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

San Antonio -3.5

The Spurs nearly had a stranglehold on this series as they led 1-0 and were in dominant form in Game 2.

The script flipped on them, but they still come home with home court and a 1-1 series. 

The playoff experience is still a factor and the deeper this series goes, the more the experience will payoff for the Spurs. On top of all that, they have owned the Nuggets inside the AT&T Center. San Antonio has won 13 straight home games against the Nuggets. 

Overall this year, they boast a 32-9 SU record in front of the home crowd, as they really do feed off the energy.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 Conference Quarterfinals games. Nuggets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Thursday games.

Back San Antonio.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn +3

The Nets have value catching points here in Game 3.

These two teams have gone right at each other through the first two games, as Brooklyn stole home court advantage. 

While the task is tall, this Nets team certainly has shown they can compete with the 76ers. Brooklyn has covered in 4 of thee 6 meetings head to head this season against Philadelphia. Along with that, they have also covered both games here in Brooklyn.

Look for them to go toe to toe all night long with Phili, a game in which we should see come down to the wire.

Some trends to note. Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Nets are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games playing on 2 days rest.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Detroit +15.5

The Pistons had their doors blown off in Game 1 and will look to rebound here in Game 2 on Wednesday. 

While things were absolutely horrific for Detroit, it's just one loss and this has the feelings of a game where they will come out with plenty of adjustments. Look for the Pistons to really focus on controlling the tempo here. 

They simply cannot turn this into a track meet, as it will result in a similar feel like Game 1. If Detroit can slow things down and take Milwaukee out of their comfort zone, they have the chance to keep this one close. 

Some trends to note. Pistons are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest.Pistons are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Detroit is not nearly as bad as they showcased in Game 1. Look for a bounce back to at least keep this in range.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Boston -7.5

The Celtics used a big 2nd half to erase a half time deficit in Game 1 and will look to get out to a much quicker start here against the Pacers. 

The home side has value here, as Boston has seemed to turn things up a few notches with the playoffs arriving. 

Boston was picked to do a lot of big things this season and struggled with their health and consistency in the regular season. However, this team has the talent to compete with the best of them and now has the momentum here against Indiana.

Look for Boston to put an emphasis on getting out quickly in this one, as Indiana's offense is not strong enough to keep up here.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 Conference Quarterfinals games.Celtics are 20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 Wednesday games.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver -6.5

The Nuggets have value laying the points here in Game 2. 

We backed the Spurs in Game 1 as playoff experience figured to be a huge factor in the early going. San Antonio has been a regular for the 20+ years in the postseason, while Denver ended a 5 year drought. 

With their feet wet even despite the Game 1 loss, now is the time for Denver to bounce back. The Nuggets were one of the best in the NBA at home and on the offensive side.

This team can hit you with so many weapons and with the nerves gone, this is a case where we should see Denver get back to their normal ways. Expect them to turn the tempo up and really get out in transition, giving them the edge. 

With that in mind, don’t sleep on this Denver team. A win here can steal all that momentum back as they have the talent to beat anyone. 

Back Denver. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -9.5

The Raptors have value laying the points here in Game 2.

They were shell shocked in Game 1 as the Magic went right at them and eventually hit a game winning 3 with just 1 second to go to clinch a 1-0 lead. 

Things are far from over here and Toronto will certainly come out firing here. The Raptors went ice cold on the offensive end a few times in Game 1, something that has been rare for them. This will be case where the Raptors really turn up the pressure on both ends of the floor. Look for them to pick the pace up as they play well when things are back and forth.

Some trends to note. Raptors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.Raptors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn Nets +8

The Nets have value once again catching points here in Game 2.

Brooklyn came into Game 1 with complete confidence they could matchup with the 76ers. They in fact proved that as they dominated for a majority of the 48 minutes in Game 1's victory.

Now, they really looked to flip the series on Philadelphia here in Game 2. 

Don't expect them to back down or be satisfied. This is still an offense that can score with the best of them. Look for the Nets to really continue pushing the tempo as they have so many weapons that can hit from anywhere on the floor.

Some trends to note. Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Nets are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Utah +6.5

This is going to be a physical series. 

Utah is by no means a pushover and can certainly compete here. The Jazz defense is going to be the main reason for success here.

They have the capabilities to slow this Rockets team down and really give James Harden some fits. Expect Crowder to have the task of guarding him, as he is one of the best defenders in the NBA.

If Utah can get to Harden and throw him off, it really takes this Houston offense out of sync.

Some trends to note. The Jazz are 20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up loss, and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Rockets are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Head to head the Road team is 6-1-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

Look for the Jazz to keep this one close throughout, with a chance to steal it late.

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -13

We backed the Warriors -13.5 yesterday, which certainly proved that the big numbers can be covered in the playoffs. 

Here, the Bucks take on a Pistons team that snuck into the playoffs. Detroit needed a win over the Knicks in their season finale to get in, as they were a rollercoaster of a team all season long.

This is going to be a case where they just can’t keep up with the Bucks. Milwaukee is far mor quicker and has too many weapons. 

Look for this one to turn into a track meet, as the Bucks can beat them both with the inside presence, as well as the shooters from the outside.

Some trends to note. Pistons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Head to head the favorite is 4-0-2 ATS in the last 6 meetings, and the Pistons are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 in Milwaukee.

Lay the points. Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

San Antonio +5.5

Playoff experience is the key here as the Spurs and Nuggets battle in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. 

San Antonio has become regulars in the postseason, which to no surprise has seen them have a lot of success over the past years. The Spurs have made 22 straight postseasons and come in winners in 3 straight and 6 of their last 9.

They take on a Nuggets team that is making their first appearance in the last 6 years. This is going to be a game where the experience of the Spurs really makes a difference. Look for them to step up defensively and take this new quick paced offense to another level on the Nuggets here.

Some trends to note. Spurs are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road games.Spurs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 2 days rest.

Expect this one to be close throughout.

Back San Antonio.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -12.5

The Warriors laying the points in Game 1 is a nice move on Saturday.

Golden State is still the team to beat and it isn't even a question. The Warriors once again dominated throughout the regular season and actually got some of their main stars a lot more rest as the season went along. It's no secret that this team understands the position their in and the playoffs is really the only important time for them. 

Golden State rested everybody before their season finale and really had no interest in a game against the Grizzlies. Before that, they were on a nice 6 game winning streak, which included a 131-104 win over Los Angeles. 

Some trends to note. Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.Warriors are 26-9 ATS in their last 35 Conference Quarterfinals games.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami -5

The Heat have value here laying the points here.

While it's not likely, the Heat still have an outside shot here at making the playoffs. However, it will start with them winning out as a first step. 

Not only will they come out inspired because of that, but they also will see Dwayne Wade play what could be his final home game of the season. Wade's exceptional career nears a close and you know he is likely going to put on a show here for the crowd one last team.

With the 76ers having absolutely nothing to play for,  their focus is on staying healthy and getting to the playoffs at 100%.

Some trends to note. 76ers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.76ers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Southeast.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles +10.5

Both teams expect to be shorthanded here when the Jazz and Lakers meet on Sunday. 

Injuries have been the theme for both of these teams, especially as of late. Coming into play Sunday, Utah’s focus right now is just to get themselves healthy as they enter the playoffs. 

The Lakers meanwhile have been eliminated for quite some time and this team is already built around young guns. Look for them to really continue to play with energy, as they are certainly getting a chance to check out their future. 

Some trends to note. Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win, and are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

The Lakers should be able to keep this one close. With the way the Jazz are built here entering play, they likely will be forced to deal with chemistry issues mixing in all these young players.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Minnesota +3

This is too many points in this spot here. The Timberwolves are starting to find their groove here as the season winds down. 

It was Karl-Anthony Towns who got himself back on track in a big way as he hit 12 of the 15 shots against the Mavs he took. When he gets going, this team really takes off. They tend to feed off his energy and with that game under his belt, he should be able to find a lot of success against this Head defense. 

Look for the Timberwolves to utilize their pace and push the ball, taking Miami out of their rhythm. 

Some trends to note. Heat are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.Heat are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 Friday games.

Back Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Sacramento -9.5

The Cavs are entering free fall mode here as the season winds down.

Cleveland has dropped 6 in a row as they are now struggling mightily on both ends of the floor. Things don't get any easier here against the Kings, who play extremely well at home.

Sacramento comes in to this one 23-16 SU and 24-14-1 ATS in that same span when playing in front of the home crowd. This is has the makings of a blowout, especially given the Cavs 6-33 SU record away from Quicken Loans Arena. 

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Cavaliers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.

Look for the Kings to turn up the pace and really push the issue on Cleveland.

Back Sacramento.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -1.5

A crucial Eastern Conference showdown takes place here as the Celtics and Heat collide. 

The visitors here have the value. After expecting to be at the top of the standings before the year started, the Celtics now look to try and battle for home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. 

Boston is starting to turn things up as they are healthy and have their full compliment of shooters. Part of a home and home, the Celtics took down the Heat back on April 1st 110-105, as Kyrie Irving is picking up his slack. 

Boston has dominated in Miami as of late too, going 8-3 ATS in the last 11 here.

Look for the Celtics to really come out the aggressor here. 

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +2.5

The Cavs catching points here is a nice move. 

The Suns and Cavs are battling for a chance at the top pick, but Cleveland hasn't let them just tank the season. This team comes to play every night and plays hard at that, as they really want to finish things strong. 

Cleveland has also dominated this series as of late. They have covered in 7 of the last 10 here in Phoenix and are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings overall. 

Look for them to come out firing here, as they should be able to really pick apart this defense.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.Cavaliers are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Utah Jazz -12.5

The Jazz have value laying the big number here Friday. 

Utah has been catching heat at the right time as they are on quite a nice run. They have won 8 of their last 9 and those 8 wins have been absolute blowouts. They have won by an average of over 20 points in those 8 games and beat the Wizards by 21 last week. 

Utah is especially dominant at home as they come in 25-12 SU, while holding opponents to just 104 points per game. 

Some trends to note. Jazz are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.Jazz are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference.

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -2

The Lakers have been the craziest scene this season. 

They continue to be a part of so much drama surrounding Lebron James and where he’s taking this team. It came out last week that he was ready to push this team forward and made a promise to the Lakers fans. 

They delivered with a win over Sacramento last time out and will look to build off of it here.

The Lakers will take on a Wizards team who boasts one of the worst defenses in the NBA. That bodes well for them here, as they finally have some momentum to build off of. 

Look for them to push the tempo on Washington and really hurt them In transition.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 2 days rest. Lakers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Orlando +2

The Magic are in a nice revenge spot here. 

Orlando continues their nice surge down the final push of the season as they have played much better as of late. They come in with nice momentum as they took down Memphis in overtime on Friday night. 

Now, they look to keep that momentum rolling as they have to deal with the 76ers, who have dropped 2 of 3 in this head to head battle. It's important to note they have really played well for the most part too, as they took the 76ers to the wire last time they met. 

Expect this one to be close throughout, as the Magic have the edge on the defensive end, allowing just 106 points per game.

Back Orlando.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -13.5

This is a revenge spot here for the Bucks.

Milwaukee went into Cleveland last week and lost outright as a 7 point favorite. Here, the Bucks are back to full health and should be able to really put their foot on the gas in this one. 

While Cleveland has played better as of late, this is a different team away from home. 

Expect Milwaukee to push the issue and attack early in the shot clock, forcing Cleveland back on their heels all night long.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Bucks are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Central.

The Bucks are dominant at home. Look for a lopsided affair here.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -3

The Celtics have value laying the points here. 

Boston comes into this one at the right time as the Hornets continue to struggle as they have seen their playoff hopes dwindle. 

The Hornets have dropped 11 of their last 16 overall and have tried shaking things up. They are now going with a more youthful lineup, that won’t matchup well here with this veteran offense the Celtics put out there. 

This is a game where Boston can use their physical play and attack the Hornets constantly, forcing them on their heels all night long.

This is just too low of a number here. 

Back Boston

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn PK

The Lakers have been a nice fade this season and at a PK price, the Nets have value here. 

Los Angeles has been a wreck for a majority of the season. With all the drama between Lebron James and the rest of the team, to the lackluster performances every single night. 

Brooklyn has a chance to really put their foot on the gas here, as they come in with a ton of momentum. D'Angelo Russell led the Nets to a 25 point comeback against the Kings last time out as he dropped 44 in the win. 

Going up against his former team here, this is going to be a game where he not only brings it, but the rest of this Nets team feeds off his energy.

Some trends to note. Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Pacific. Nets are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -6.5

Cleveland has played much better as of late, there is no doubt about that. However, this is not a good spot for them on Friday.

For starters, the Clippers come into this one a solid team when playing on Friday's. They have gone 11-1 ATS in their last 12 Friday contests overall. 

On top of that, the situational edge sits with the Clippers. They are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings with the Cavaliers, as they have been able to really frustrate Cleveland's defense with their pace. Look for that to be the case here, as they should want to get out wand run on them. 

Some trends to note. Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Clippers are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 Friday games.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -12.5

The Bucks have value laying the points here.

Milwaukee comes into Tuesday one of the best home teams in the NBA. They boast a 27-6 SU record, while going 19-13-1 ATS in that span. 

The Bucks ramp up the offensive intensity when playing at home, as they put up over 120 points per contest. Look for them to be even more aggressive, as this Lakers team is simply a wreck.

Los Angeles comes in off a loss to the Knicks, as they've dropped 3 in a row. This team has phoned it in and they have the ability to get blown out in any game.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games. Lakers are 6-23-1 ATS in their last 30 vs. Eastern Conference.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -3.5

The Celtics laying the points here has value. 

Denver has been a struggle away from home, especially as of late. The Nuggets have dropped 5 of their last 6 away from home, as they simply haven't been able to gain any sort of stability. 

As far as the Celtics go, Boston has been dominant as of late themselves. The Celtics have won 5 of their last 6 overall and they've also been tough to crack when playing inside the confines of the TD Garden. 

Some trends to note. Home team is 18-8-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings. Nuggets are 4-11-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Boston.

Boston has dominated the head to head series and given the home/away discrepancy, this one makes sense.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Houston -7.5

The Rockets have value laying the points here.

Minnesota really limps into this one. Their 5-7 record since the break. They come in after back to back blowout losses, as they dropped the first two legs of this road trip by a combined 46 points. 

While the Timberwolves are still mathematically alive in the playoff race, it’s likely they won’t find themselves in the postseason as they’ve keyed toward the future with some of their latest moves. 

Houston should be able to pick apart their youth here and really push the tempo on them Sunday. 

Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games, and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Head to head the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Dallas Mavericks -6

The Mavericks have value at home here on Saturday.

Dallas comes in off a tough loss to the Nuggets on Thursday, a game in which they went toe to toe with one of the top teams in the West. 

While their road play has been rocky, the home play from Dallas has been quite the opposite. Dallas has gone 21-12-1 ATS in this season inside American Airlines Arena and they've gone 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games. 

Cleveland comes in off a blowout loss to the Magic, as those are the kinds of performances we have seen from time to time from this young Cavs team.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 vs. Eastern Conference. Mavericks are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Central.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Washington -3

The Wizards have tremendous value here.

Washington plays much better at home versus on the road for starters. The offensive numbers are much better on the home side of the splits, as they have really found their form as of late. 

The Wizards come in with nice momentum too, as they’ve gone 2-0 to start this homestand, which includes holding Orlando to just 90 points. 

The biggest key for them continues to be the contributions from a lot of different players on the floor, as Bradley Beal continues to set the tone. This team has fed off his energy and they seem to really work well when he’s in his groove.

The Hornets limp in as they have dropped 2 straight and 12 of their last 16 overall. Look for the struggles to continue here, as they simply cannot keep up with this attack.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver -10.5

The Nuggets have value laying the points here. 

Denver comes into this one finally with some momentum as they rebounded from a bad stretch in a big way with a 133-107 win over Minnesota. After some struggles, the Nuggets put together one of their best performances of the season, as they dominated on both ends of the floor. 

Dallas is in free fall mode, as they have dropped 6 in a row and 11 of their last 12. 

This is a case where Denver can really run on them as Dallas is one of the worst defensive teams in the entire NBA when playing on the road.

Dallas got in late to Denver as well here, as a snowstorm pushed back their flight. This is a case where just too many things are against Dallas.

Back Denver. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Utah -7

The Jazz have value in this spot here.

Oddly enough, it’s the Jazz trending downward and the Suns moving upward as of late. That’ll change here as we should see some regression from this Suns team.

After a huge upset win over the Warriors Sunday, this is a prime letdown spot against a team that is hungry. 

Utah finds themselves in 8th, but are right there in a crowded West with the ability to move up. 

They’ve already knocked off the Suns by 28 this season and they boast a solid defense giving up just 106 points per game. Look for them to really slow this Suns team down and not allow them to get out an run. 

Some trends of note. Jazz are 16-4-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up loss, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Head to head the favorite is 9-4-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings.

Lay the points here. Utah should be able to bounce back in a big way. 

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

New Orleans +9.5 

The Pelicans have value catching points her.e

Milwaukee enters this head to head struggling against the Pelicans. Milwaukee has failed to cover in 6 of the last 8 games played in New Orleans. 

Along with that, the last 4 matchups have seen the Pelicans cover the number as well. 

The Pelicans have played a majority of their better basketball at home too. New Orleans has gone 18-14 SU while scoring 116 points per game. This team tends to get up and down the floor much better for some reason inside their own building, and will likely pick up the pace here knowing what they're up against. 

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.Pelicans are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back New Orleans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +9.5

The Cavs have value at this number here.

Since the return of Kevin Love, the Cleveland Cavaliers have become a much more bearable and competitive team for that matter.

They are not just staying in games, but they're actually winning them which has been a brand new sight for them. Look for Cleveland to really push the ball and utilize their pace, something that has made them extremely successful as of late.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Atlantic.Cavaliers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 2 days rest.

Grab the home side.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Memphis +1

Memphis looks to play the spoiler role here on Sunday.

The Grizzlies come in winners of 3 in their last 4, as this team is surprising a lot of people and really taking it to teams attempting their playoff push.

Their most recent outing saw them dominate the Jazz, in a 114-104 win.

Look for Memphis to really buckle down here defensively, as that has been the recipe to success during this recent run.

Some trends to note. Magic are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Grizzlies are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games, and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Grab the home side.

Back Memphis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -6.5

The Raptors are in a nice spot here on Friday. 

Toronto has dropped 2 straight, which has been very rare this season. This is a Pelicans team that doesn't play well against fast teams, which certainly benefits the Raptors here. Toronto loves to get up and down the floor and on top of that, their high pressured defense is a lot for teams to handle.

If things weren't bad enough for the Pelicans without Jrue Holiday, they continue to struggle with all the drama surrounding Anthony Davis. 

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Atlantic.Pelicans are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 Friday games.

Toronto has covered in 14 of their last 16 visits here. Expect that trend to continue.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Charlotte -4.5

The Hornets recent bad run has put themselves out of the playoff picture in the East. 

However, this is a perfect spot to bounce back in when they take on the Wizards on Friday. Washington boasts one of the worst defenses in the NBA, as they give up nearly 120 points per contest. 

Along with that, the Wizards have not been good against teams with a winning record on the road. They come into this one just 5-24 ATS in their last 29 in such situations. Look for them to struggle with the Hornets pace here, something that has doomed this Washington defense all season long.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 Friday games.Wizards are 11-33 ATS in their last 44 road games.

Back Charlotte.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -10.5

We should see a very inspired Bucks team here in this one on Thursday.

Milwaukee has dropped back to back games, which has been extremely rare this season. This team has not let losses snowball into losing streaks by any means, as they come out firing following defeats. 

They have a huge edge here against the Pacers, who have gone just 4-4 in their last 8 and have been extremely inconsistent away from home. Expect Milwaukee to be aggressive from the outset and really push the issue against this Pacers team that simply does not score much since the loss of their star guard.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Pacers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest.

Lay the points.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -5

We backed the 76ers on Tuesday and they cashed in for us. They have value once again here on Wednesday.

Both the 76ers and Bulls will play the 2nd leg of their back to back, which doesn’t give either any sort of edge in terms of fatigue. 

Philadelphia’s offense is rolling right now and they haven’t shown any signs of slowing down. They come in after a dominant performance and hold a huge edge against the Bulls defense here. Chicago stuggles mightily with teams who run, which is exactly what the 76ers will do here.

Look for the 76ers to really utilize their pace in this one, as Chicago simply can’t keep up.

Back Philadelphia. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -4.5

This is a low number here in this one on Tuesday.

Orlando comes in off a horrible loss to the Cavs on Sunday, a game in which they were actually dominated for a majority of. 

Things don't figure to bode well for them here as they are just 13-19 on the road this season. 

On the flip side of that, the 76ers have been a very tough team to crack at home. They have gone 24-9 while averaging 119 points per home contest.

Some trends to note. 76ers are 28-12 ATS in their last 40 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.76ers are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight up loss.

Lay the points.

Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles Lakers -4

There has been so much talk surrounding Lebron James, who the better team is in LA, and just a whole bunch of everything with the drama of the Lakers. This is a case where you’ll see the Lakers really come out firing here.

The Clippers are very vulnerable on the defensive end for starters. Despite back to back losses, we did see the Lakers really play well at home against Milwaukee last week. The offense has the ability to put up points and we should see some very inspired play here. Expect them to pick up the intensity and really attack the rim. 

Along with that, this has the feel of a game where James comes out angry. After a debacle in Phoenix Saturday, don’t think he won’t have some frustrations to take out. 

Lay the points.

Back the Lakers.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +6.5

This is a game where Cleveland should be able to keep things close throughout. 

Orlando comes to town as the Cavaliers dropped by 36 at home on Saturday. Make no mistake, that isn’t good for the momentum factor, but they did so without Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson. 

Look for Cleveland to really bounce back here, as they should see Love back in the lineup. His presence makes a world of a difference on both ends of the floor. 

Some trends to note.  Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Magic are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Cleveland.

Grab the points. 

Back Cleveland. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -4.5

Despite a Lakers win last time out, it was far from pretty on the defensive end.

That won't bode well for this one when they take on the high flying attack of the Bucks on Friday.

Milwaukee is by far 4 or 5 steps up from the Pelicans, as they love to run and attack the rim in transition. The Lakers have struggled as a whole on the defensive side this season, as this young team has yet to figure out how to slow teams down.

Milwaukee also will have the abilities to guard James here. Shutting him down really throws this Lakers offense into a mess and forces them out of rhythm. 

Some trends to note. Bucks are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS loss.Bucks are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Cleveland +3

The Knicks laying points is always an ultimate fade. 

Let's look at the factors here. The Cavaliers and Knicks may both be horrific in the standings, but Cleveland is playing some better basketball as of late.

After mixing in a couple wins, the Cavs rallied from 25 down against the Trail Blazers to actually cut things to as little as 2. Cleveland has looked a lot better on the offensive end since the return of Kevin Love. 

Meanwhile, the Knicks struggles as a whole continue and they even have a loss to the Cavs under their belts this year.

Some trends to note. Head to head the Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in New York, and are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Lastly they're 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.

Grab the visitors.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS play

Indiana -4

The Pacers have value here on Thursday night. 

Indiana takes on a Minnesota team that was forced to play overtime on Wednesday night. The Timberwolves were forced into a track meet with the Atlanta Hawks, a game in which they allowed 131 points. 

That doesn't bode well for the fatigue factor here, as they are forced to take on an Indiana team that plays some of their best basketball at home. 

Look for the Pacers to turn up the intensity on the defensive end in this one, really forcing Minnesota into some difficult situations early on.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Grab the home side.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -5

The Nets have value at home here.

Brooklyn is a solid 15-4 over their last 19 home games as they dominated the Spurs on Monday. This team is contributions from everyone right now, as they are clicking on all cylinders. 

They face off with a Wizards team that is abysmal on the road. Coming in with a 7-24 road record this season, the Wizards have dropped 4 straight overall and have been atrocious on the defensive end. That doesn't bode well for them when taking on a team like Brooklyn who can hit you from every which way.

Some trends to note. Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.Nets are 22-9 ATS in their last 31 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.

Lay the points.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -8.5 

The Warriors laying the points here is a nice move.

Miami has actually been a better road team than home for starters. They enter Wednesday just 11-18 ATS at home. They have been completely shut down on the offensive end as they seem to tighten up when playing in Miami. 

That certainly isn't good when you're playing a team like Golden State. This offense is one of the best, if not the best in the NBA given all the weapons they have. Look for them to run and really push the tempo here on Miami.

Some trends to note. Heat are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games. Warriors are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. 

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Detroit -2.5

The Pistons have value laying the points here. 

Detroit comes in situationally with a nice edge. They look to get revenge after a 37 points loss earlier this season to the Pacers. The loss saw Indiana shoot nearly unconsciously from the floor as we shouldn't expect to see that here today. 

Along with that, the Pacers have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 away divisional games. 

Some trends to note. Pistons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Pistons are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win.

The host has gone 6-1 ATS in the last 7 in this series. Look for Detroit to come out with some vengeance here, as they take care of business at home.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -9

The Celtics laying the points here is the move on Saturday night.

Boston is simply going to be too overwhelming here in this one. The Celtics 113 points per game outscores the Bulls by an average of 10 points for starters. 

Along with that, Chicago is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games. The trends get worse for the Bulls, who are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 Saturday games.

The opposite goes for Boston, who is 8-2 against teams with a winning percentage of .400. Boston has fed off lower tier teams and this one should be no different here.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Chicago. Favorite is 19-6-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings.

Lay the points.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Oklahoma City -4

The Thunder closed the first half with a bang and will look to roll right along here.

OKC rattled off wins in 11 of their last 13 before the break, as they are hitting their groove at the right time. 

The Thunder's dominance has stemmed from Westbrook's big run, as he has compiled 10 straight games with a triple-double. During that run, he has put up 21.9 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 13.5 assists per contest. 

Look for them to continue to feed off his energy. 

Some trends to note. Thunder are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall, and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games. Head to head the Jazz are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Oklahoma City has won both meetings thus far. Expect that to continue here.

Back Oklahoma City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -5.5

Laying the points here has value on Thursday with Milwaukee.

The 2nd half of the season gets set to tip off, as a potential playoff matchup clashes here. 

Milwaukee has been a consistent team thus far as they feature not only one of the best players in the NBA, but one of the best offenses in the entire league.

Milwaukee puts up 120 points per home game and they come into this one 23-5 SU in home situations. Look for them to really be overwhelming for the Celtics here, who just haven't found a way to get over that hump as they search for their top level.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.

Lay the points.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -6.5

The Nets have value laying the points here.

Brooklyn takes on a Cleveland team that comes in off a rare win last time out. Cleveland actually found a team that has been worse than them, as New York came to town and couldn’t overcome a 15 point deficit. 

Now, Cleveland takes on a Brooklyn team that is playing very well. The Nets should have upset the Raptors last time out as 10 point underdogs, but blew a 3 point lead with just seconds to go. 

This team is extremely impressive and has utilized their youth speed to really keep opponents off balanced and on their heels.

Some trends to note. Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Cavaliers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win. Nets are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

Lay the points. Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -5.5

The 76ers laying the points here is a nice move for us on Tuesday.

Home court advantage has made a world of a difference for the 76ers this season. They come into Tuesday a solid 23-6 as they outscore opponents on average 119.4-109.8. 

To add even more value to this one, the Celtics will be without Kyrie Irving, who exited Saturday's loss with a knee injury. Irving's injury leaves Boston without a key offensive weapon, as they will need everything they can get against this 76ers team that just put up 140 in their latest home affair. 

Some key trends to note here. Favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Given the situational edge and the injury to Irving, this one should be a lopsided affair.

Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Milwaukee -10.5

The Bucks have been great situationally here and have value laying the points. 

Milwaukee has been great following a loss this season.

The Bucks have gone 13-0 SU and 11-2 ATS following a loss this season, with those wins averaging over 14 points per game. They have been a great bounce back team and have certainly not allowed losses to snowball. 

Chicago is the perfect candidate for this situation, as they come in with 10 straight home losses. 

Some trends to note. Bucks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Bucks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Grab the visitors here.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -14.5

The Warriors have value laying the points here on Sunday night. 

Golden State continues to dominate as they trailed the Suns entering the 4th on Friday, only to end up winning by double digits.

The Warriors can just hit you at so many different angles as they score in bunches. They hold the value here as the Heat simply don’t have the offense to keep up.

Miami has struggled to keep pace with teams like this, as they constantly are getting beat in transition. Look for the Warriors to get out and run here, really putting the Heat on their heels early. 

Some trends to note.  Heat are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss, and are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 vs. Eastern Conference.

Lay the points. Back Golden State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Sacramento -2.5

The Kings have value laying the small number at home. 

This is a case of a bounce back and letdown. 

For the Kings, they come in after seeing their win streak snapped. After an incredible performance against the Spurs, they laid a huge egg against the Rockets. 

Sacramento has been a team that has fed off the home crowd and this is a prime spot to really use their tempo to throw this Heat team off.

As for Miami, they come in after a huge win over the Trail Blazers on the road. Look for them to really battle fatigue and struggle here against a team that just plays so quick. 

Some trends to note. Heat are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Kings are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games, and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.

Lay the points. Back Sacramento.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Dallas was active at the trade deadline and now have a whole new look heading into the 2nd half of the season. 

The Mavericks took care of business in their first game since the trade and now look to continue their home dominance.

The edge here goes to Dallas. They sit 9-1 at home ATS when an underdog. Along with that, they come in 18-7-1 ATS at home overall.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Washington -6

The Wizards are worth a move here on Monday.

Washington has been a much different team when playing at home versus on the road. They seem to play with much more confidence and aggression inside the Verizon Center.

Situationally this is a really nice spot. Atlanta has been on a lengthy road trip, one that has covered 6 games with this being the 7th.

The Hawks have been away because of the Super Bowl and are slated to return home following their contest on Monday. 

Look for fatigue and a lot of overlooking to take part here, as they certainly are ready to wrap things up with the travel.

The Raptors have value laying the points here. Toronto catches Los Angeles in a nice spot here.

The Clippers come in off a back to back, after a hard fought win against the Pistons. They were forced to battle back from down big, which will certainly cause some fatigue here.

This will be a nice sight for the Raptors as they have ran into some hot teams as of late. Look for them to push the tempo and really get Los Angeles on their heels early here.

Some trends to note. Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Clippers are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings vs. the Raptors and are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Toronto.

Any time you get the Warriors after a loss, you know you're going to get an angry bunch. 

Golden State was knocked around by Philadelphia in the 2nd half on Thursday night and will look for a bounce back here against the Lakers. 

Golden State is a solid 4-1 ATS in their last 5 following a loss and will certainly look to take out some frustrations against a young Lakers team here. 

Some trends to note. Lakers are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Golden State. Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest.

This has been a series dominated by Houston. They come into this one 5-0 ATS in the last 5 head to head meetings. Along with that, they also have covered in the last 4 meetings in Denver. 

While injuries have bugged the Rockets, James Harden certainly hasn't had an issue picking up the slack. Look for him to step up in a big way here once again, knowing the importance of this one. 

Denver also has struggled against the West lately too. They have gone just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 against conference foes. 

Some trends to note. Rockets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Rockets are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 vs. Western Conference.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn +7.5

Brooklyn is becoming one of those teams nobody wants to see on their schedule. 

The Nets are once again in stride, as they have rattled off wins in 7 of their last 8 games as they come in off a win over Chicago last time out.

They have one of the fastest offenses in the NBA, as they put up 113 points per contest. Look for them to turn things up a notch here against this Spurs team, that has shown they aren't as good defensively as they have been in the past.

Some trends to note. Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Nets are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Washington -7

The Wizards have value laying the points here. 

Cleveland comes in off a rare win, but they have not been able to build off of anything this season. Cleveland has struggled constantly as they are just 2-18 in their last 20 games overall.

This is a bit of a revenge spot as well. Cleveland took it to the Wizards the last time these two teams played, but things are far different from that last meeting. 

Washington is still 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games in Cleveland and they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 against the East. 

Some trends to note. Wizards are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. Wizards are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

On a 10-3 ATS run, look for the Wizards to handle business here.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

San Antonio -4.5

The Spurs laying the points are worth a move here. Washington has battled plenty of injuries this season and they simply don’t look like the team everyone expected.

They come in off a win, but it was far from pretty as they nearly blew an 18 point lead against the Magic on Friday.

Washington has not been able to play a full 40 minutes this year. They go through stretches where they struggle to get anything on the offensive end and that simply won’t fly here against this Spurs team.

Look for the Spurs to pick apart this defense and really expose the interior play from Washington that has been lacking all year long.

Some trends to note. Spurs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Eastern Conference, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. The favorite is 21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings. Wizards are 3-14-1 ATS in the last 18 meetings in San Antonio.

Lay the points. Back the Spurs.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Chicago -5

The Bulls laying the points have value here. Chicago has been a mess this season with the exception of when they play Cleveland.

The Bulls are 3-0 against the Cavs and look for the season sweep here on Sunday. These wins have been dominant performances and things continue to be worse for the Cavs.

They are battling injury after injury and enter Sunday with a lot of backups in place. 

The Bulls should be able to do what they did a week ago in Cleveland, as they pushed the tempo and made things look easy in transition against this Cavs defense.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall, and are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game, and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Lastly they are 9-28 ATS in the last 37 meetings vs. Chicago.

Lay the points. Back Chicago.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -2

The Warriors laying this low of a number is always going to have value.

Golden State has just been absolutely dominant this season and things have picked up recently with the return of Cousins. They are just so tough to contain when you have 5 legit weapons on the floor who can take it to the bucket and score. 

Boston has struggled to hit any sort of stride themselves as they have been dealing with injuries and a lot of inconsistencies. 

Look for the Warriors to really turn things up here and get out early on Boston.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Lay the small number. Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Houston +1

The Rockets have the value on Friday night. 

If one thing is clear, it's that James Harden is going to be this years MVP. He has put this team on his back with all the injuries suffered and has made a huge impact. You almost expect him to drop 50 points every single night now. 

He is carrying the load and the Rockets have been a dominant home team this season. Coming in with a 17-7 record, they will look to get out early and really fluster this Raptors team. 

Along with that, Toronto has dropped 18 of the last 23 games they've played in this building.

Some trends to note. Raptors are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games. Raptors are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss.

Grab the home side.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -10

The Nets laying the big number is worth a move here on Friday.

The Knicks are just in turmoil. Their head coach is making a mockery of them losing games, the team has a lot of internal issues, and all around they are just a mess. 

They come into this one losers of 7 in a row and have just done everything wrong. They're allowing way too many easy buckets and aren't getting much offensive productivity from guys. 

The Nets should be able to pick this team apart, given their recent run. Brooklyn has rattled off 5 wins in a row and they are playing with a lot of confidence on the offensive end. Averaging 115 points per home game, this team is getting out quickly and really putting opposing defenses on their heels. 

Some trends to note. Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Lay the points.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* NBA ATS Play

Washington +4

This is an interesting line here on Friday, giving value to the road side.

The Wizards come into this one on a nice run here ATS coming into play. Over their last 10 games, the Wizards have covered in 8 of those. 

Along with that, Washington comes in winners in 7 of their last 11 and kept things close throughout on Thursday night against the Warriors. 

This team has the offensive firepower to keep up with anyone and this is a nice matchup for them given the struggles the Magic have had, especially as of late.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Wizards are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. NBA Southeast.

Grab the points.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Atlanta +2

The Hawks are a nice value play here on Wednesday.

Despite the Bulls win on Monday, this team still has plenty of issues about them. Chicago took down the lowly Cavs, which really doesn't say too much.

Atlanta has been a struggle themselves, but this team really has the ability to catch some fire and we've seen it a few times lately. 

They take on a Bulls team that is just 5-16 at home this season, one of the worst marks in the entire NBA. Look for Atlanta to force the issue early here and really try to run the Bulls down in transition.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss.

Grab the points.

Back Atlanta.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Miami -5 

The Heat laying the points here has value on Wednesday.

Los Angeles comes in off a tough back to back, where they had to deal with the Mavs on Tuesday night. 

Dallas plays with such an extreme pace and really puts teams on their heels, which should force the Clippers into some fatigue here on Wednesday. 

Look for the Heat to really buckle down defensively and suffocate these LA shooters all night long.

Some trends to note. Heat are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Wednesday games. Heat are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Grab the home side here.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -11.5

The Warriors have value laying the points here.

If Golden State wasn’t a handful enough for teams, the return of Cousins proved to add a huge element to their style. Cousins looks as if he fits in perfectly and they get a chance here against the a shorthanded Lakers team.

The Lakers continue to be without Lebron James and they simply don’t match up well here. 

The Warriors have too many weapons for this Lakers team to keep up with as they’ll look to be aggressive early here.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win, and are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Lakers are 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 games following a ATS win.

Look for Golden State to exploit the Lakers youth and run away with this one.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Indiana Pacers -6.5

The Mavericks are a nice fade here. Dallas has been a completely different team on the road. They come into this one on Saturday just 4-18 away from home. 

They continue to struggle on both ends of the floor on the road, but the defense is allowing 113 points per road contest which is simply too much to overcome. 

They don't matchup well here, as Indiana has been a tough team to crack at home themselves. Going 15-6 SU, they simply lock down defensively. They hold opponents to one of the best numbers in the league, giving up just 98 points. 

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Mavericks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 vs. Eastern Conference.

Lay the points. Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Utah -15

Cleveland has been the ultimate fade this season. 

The Cavaliers have been an absolute mess and it’s been a consistent course. With just one win in 2019, Cleveland has dropped every other decision with the closest being by 8 points. 

Expect another one here against a Utah team that has one of the stingiest defenses in the NBA. Along with that, they’re in quite a stride coming into this one.

Utah has rattled off 5 straight and have won by an average of 13 points in that stretch. 

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game, and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. Cavaliers are 0-6-1 ATS vs. Jazz in the last 7 meetings, and are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Utah.

This is just a case of two teams going in opposite directions. 

Look for Utah to really buckle down early and frustrate this Cleveland team from the start.

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver -12

This is a prime bounce back spot for the Nuggets here.

With the top spot in the West on the line Tuesday, Denver laid a huge egg against the Warriors. 

This is going to be a spot where they get their frustration out against a lowly Bulls team. 

Denver still comes in one of the best at home. They hold an 18-4 record and this defense is extremely tough to deal with. Given the struggles, the Bulls have had as a whole, this is matchup where Denver is going to put their foot on the gas from the outset and pick them apart. 

Some trends to note. Bulls are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Denver. Bulls are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings.

Lay the points here.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 10* NBA ATS TOP Play

Detroit -3

Laying the small number here has value with the home side. 

Orlando has been a nice fade on the road this season.

The Magic own just a 7-13 SU record, as the lack of production on the offensive end has really hurt them. They are putting up just over 100 points per game, which is one of the lower marks in the league. 

The struggle will be even more here as the Pistons are a team they do not match up well against. Detroit has a nice inside presence, as Blake Griffin has really been a force this season. Look for Detroit to control the paint and really cause a lot of issues for Orlando Wednesday.

Some trends to note. Magic are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. Magic are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games.

Lay the points.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -1.5

The Warriors will always have value at this kind of number. Golden State and Denver battle for the top spot in the West, Golden State is completely used to these kinds of games, but this is brand new territory for Denver.

Look for nerves first off to play a role given all the hype around this one. 

This is also a revenge spot for the Warriors as well. They dropped a 2 point decision earlier this season to the Nuggets, a game in which Damien Jones was the final shot taker. 

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss, and are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Underdog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Golden State has rattled off 4 straight wins and they've put up ridiculous offensive totals. Lay the small number here.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -3

The Clippers have solid value here against the Pelicans Monday night. The Pelicans have been a real solid fade on the road.

They come in just 5-17 this season after another disappointing loss, this time to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night. 

Their struggles run deep on the road, as they’ve typically buried themselves early on. That’s not a good sign here as the Clippers are a fast team out of the gate and will certainly be the aggressor early on here Monday.

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games, and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Clippers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

Lay the points here with the home side. The Clippers are getting contributions from a lot of different guys here as of late as the bench is the difference maker.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS PLAY

Cleveland +10.5

This is a matchup for the Cavs where they can keep pace. 

With Lebron James still sidelined, the Lakers team is full of a lot of youth, which is just how this Cleveland team is. 

The Cavaliers come in absolutely a mess, but given the Lakers struggles on the defensive end, Cleveland should have a lot of success offensively. The Lakers are giving up over 110 points per game and that number has gone up since the James injury. Look for Cleveland to really get out and push the issue here.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Lakers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Grab the points.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
