11-16-18 | Jazz v. 76ers -3 | Top | 107-113 | Win | 100 | 12 h 7 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Philadelphia 76ers (7:05 EST). The Jazz come in off a deflating 118-68 road loss in Dallas and I think they’re ripe for the picking here as well. Philadelphia enters off a 111-106 road loss to Orlando on Wednesday. The Jazz come in averaging 107.4 PPG and conceding 108.9. Donovan Mitchell had led the way with 20.4 PPG so far, while Rudy Gobert has chipped in 15.9 points, 13.2 boards and 2.21 blocks per contest. The 76ers return home and welcome the new acquired Jimmy Butler’s first home game. The 76ers are averaging 112.3 PPG and they’re conceding 112.8. Big Man Joel Embiid has been unstoppable so far, averaging 27.6 points, 13.4 boards and 2.13 blocks per game. I’ll point out that Philadelphia is 4-1 ATS in its last five following an ATS loss, while the Jazz are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine after scoring 75 points or less in their last outing. The 76ers are a “different” team at home, coming into this one undefeated thus far. And I look for that strong trend to carry over here in this favorable match-up. Lay the points. Good luck…Larry |

11-16-18 | Connecticut v. Iowa -4 | Top | 72-91 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
My 10* Champ Game Crusher is on Iowa (6:30 EST). Both teams are 3-0 to open the year. This is the championship game of the 2K classic from New York. UConn got here by upsetting Syracuse 83-76 last night. Jalen Adams and Alterique Gilbert each had 16 points. Overall the Huskies are averaging 85.7 PPG. I played on the Hawkeyes in their 77-69 upset victory over Oregon. Jordan Bohannon was a standout with 16 points, while Luke Garza added 12. Overall Iowa is averaging 85 PPG. I’ll point out though that the UConn is just 1-4 ATS in its last five neutral site affairs and 3-9 ATS in its last 12 non-conference games, while Iowa is 6-0 ATS in its last six neutral site games and 5-2-1 ATS in its last eight non-conference contests. I think the Hawkeyes find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Play on Iowa. Good luck…Larry |

11-15-18 | Oregon v. Iowa +4 | Top | 69-77 | Win | 100 | 14 h 9 m | Show |
My 10* Takedown is on Iowa (9:30 EST). The No. 13 Oregon Ducks take on the Iowa Hawkeyes in the semi finals of the 2K Classic at MSG tonight. Oregon enters off an 81-47 victory over Eastern Washington, while Iowa comes in off a 93-82 win at home over Green Bay. The Ducks are aerating 82.5 PPG and allowing 52. Bol Bol leads the nightly charge with 17.5 points, 12.5 boards and 3.5 blocks per game. Iowa would love to pull of the upset obviously to reach the championship game. The Hawkeyes come in averaging 85 PPG and conceding 72.5. Tyler Cook averages 14.5 points and seven boards per game. I’ll point out as well that Oregon is just 7-10 ATS in its last 17 neutral site affairs, while Iowa is a solid 6-4 in all neutral court contests. This one has the feel that whichever team has its hands on the ball last will find a way to get the job done in the end. Grab the points. Good luck…Larry |

11-15-18 | Warriors v. Rockets -1.5 | Top | 86-107 | Win | 100 | 14 h 14 m | Show |
My 10* Rivalry Rout Gold is on the Houston Rockets (8:05 EST). Golden State knocked off the Rockets in the playoffs last year. Chris Paul was injured in Game 5 and Houston wasted a 3-2 lead. The Warriors return to Houston without leader Stephen Curry and I think that Paul and company will lay the hammer down from start to finish. Note that Houston did take two of three in the regular season last year, including a 116-108 victory at home in the final one back on January 20th. Golden State enters averaging 120.7 PPG, while conceding 111 per night. Kevin Durant is averaging 27.5 points, 7.3 boards and 6.5 assists per game. Houston enters averaging 103.2 PPG and it’s allowing 106.7. James Harden is averaging 27.3 points, 5.6 boards and 7.7 assists per game. I’ll point out as well that Golden State is just 2-4 ATS on the road, while Houston is now 3-1 ATS in its last four vs. teams with winning records. Houston can move back to .500 with a win today. It comes in on top form having won five of the last seven. After a slow start the Rockets have returned to form on both ends of the floor, so their early season numbers are skewed after the slow start. Play on the Rockets. Good luck…Larry |
