01-15-18 | Warriors v. Cavs OVER 234 | Top | 118-108 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (715) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (716). Cleveland (716). Cleveland (26-16) has lost seven of their last nine games after their 97-95 loss in Indiana on Friday as a 1.5-point favorite. The Cavaliers have lost their last two games despite being the favorite — and they have played 9 of their last 10 games Over the Total after suffering at least two straight upset losses. Cleveland has also played 12 straight games Over the Total after losing four or five of their last six games. Additionally, the Cavaliers have played 33 of their last 17 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a point spread setback. Now this team returns home for the first time since January 2nd after playing five straight games on the road — and they have played 9 straight home games Over the Total after being on the road for at least seven days. Cleveland has also played 5 of their last 6 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. This is a rematch of the Christmas Day game between these two teams that finished well below the 216 Total with the Warriors winning by a 99-92 score. We had a big play on the Over that day — and neither team could hit the side of a barn that day. The Cavaliers made just 31.8% of their shots along with making only 27% of their 3-pointers. They should shoot much better tonight as they have a 48.6% shooting percentage along with a 37.6% mark behind the arc when playing at home. Of course, Cleveland has since seen Isaiah Thomas return from injury — and his insertion into this rivalry should help the scoring on both sides since he is both a prolific scorer and a liability on defense because of his size. It is interesting that the Total has been installed in the 230s for this game like the Totals ended in last year’s NBA Finals — even after a combined 191 points were scored between these two teams three weeks ago. It looks easy to take the Under — and that makes me feel even more comfortable with this contrarian play. |

01-11-18 | Spurs v. Lakers OVER 210.5 | Top | 81-93 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (507) and the Los Angeles Lakers (508). Los Angeles (13-27) played their best defensive game of the season on Tuesday when they held the Kings to just 34.5% shooting in their 99-86 victory. Even with that strong defensive performance, the Lakers have allowed their last five opponents make 46% of their shots which is right in line with their 45.9% opponent’s field goal percentage for the season. Los Angeles did see the return of their rookie point guard Lonzo Ball who bolstered the offense with 11 assists along with pulling down 11 rebounds. While Ball’s shooting numbers have been disparaged by his many critics this season, his contributions to his team as the Floor General have been unappreciated. The Lakers have covered the point spread in two straight games — and they have then covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after covering the point spread in their last two games. Los Angeles stays at home in the Staples Center for this game where they have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total — and they have played 7 of their last 10 home games Over the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. Additionally, the Lakers have played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. |

12-31-17 | Mavs v. Thunder -6 | Top | 116-113 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 6 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Oklahoma City Thunder (808) minus the points versus the Dallas Mavericks (807). Oklahoma City (20-16) saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Friday in a controversial 97-95 loss to Milwaukee despite being a 6.5-point favorite. The Thunder lost after Giannis Antetokounmpo made a buzzer-beating basket — however, replays confirmed that the basket should have been disallowed with Antetokounmpo stepping out of bounds just before taking the winning shot. Expect Oklahoma City to come out blazing tonight to get that bad taste out of their mouths. The Thunder dealt with a similar situation early in the season back on October 22nd when the Andrew Wiggins nailed a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer for the Timberwolves to pull out a victory. The NBA later conceded that an illegal screen should have been called to nullify Wiggins’ basket. OKC responded to that disappointment with a 114-96 blowout win at home over Indiana as 13-point favorites in their next opportunity to take the court. The Thunder have covered the point spread in 45 of their last 70 games after a loss by 3 points or less — and they have covered the point spread in 20 of their last 31 games when that loss by 3 points or less occurred on their home court. The team will be without both Andre Roberson and Paul George who are both dealing with injuries. But the team still has Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony with the latter helping the team more since accepting the role as primarily an outside shooter to better compliment Westbrook’s offensive game. Oklahoma City looks to avenge a 97-81 upset loss in Dallas back on November 25th as a 6-point underdog. The Thunder have covered the point spread in 14 of their last 21 games when avenging a double-digit loss to their opponents when playing in their gym in that last game. OKC has also covered the point spread in a divisive 71 of their last 119 games when playing with revenge for a double-digit loss — and this includes covering the point spread in 3 of their last 4 along with 20 of these last 31 situations. |

12-29-17 | Mavs v. Pelicans -6.5 | Top | 128-120 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 39 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the New Orleans Pelicans (810) minus the points versus the Dallas Mavericks (809). Dallas (11-25) has produced two straight upset victories as they followed up their 98-93 upset win over Toronto as a 5.5-point underdog with their 98-94 upset win at Indiana as a 3.5-point underdog on Wednesday. The Mavericks have then failed to cover the point spread in 16 of their last 23 games after an upset win as a road underdog. This will be Dallas’ sixth game in the last ten days — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 8 games when playing at least their sixth game in ten days. Additionally, the Mavericks have failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games with the Total set in the 210 to 219.5 point range — and this includes failing to cover the point spread in three of their last four road games with the Total set in that range. Furthermore, Dallas has failed to cover the point spread in 5 straight games played on a Friday. |

12-25-17 | Cavs v. Warriors OVER 216.5 | Top | 92-99 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 50 m | Show |
At 3:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (703) and the Golden State Warriors (704). Over six months after last year’s NBA Finals, it is safe to give away a trade secret: I was pounding the Over in the NBA Finals because the betting public and the oddsmakers were behind on appreciating the style of play that the Cavaliers were deciding to engage against the Warriors. While I expect more of the same for this early regular season game in this marquee television matchup, too much will have changed by the time the 2018 NBA Finals rolls around to ensure near automatic Overs if there is a third sequel between these two teams. The oddsmakers set the number rather high for Game One of the NBA Finals last year at 224.5 — and the Under hit with Cleveland shooting just 34.9% from the field in a Golden State blowout. The Total dropped to 222 and we pounded the Over in what turned out to be the Warriors’ 132-113 victory. The number jumped to 226.5 for Game Three and we still took the Over and got there with Golden State’s 118-113 victory. For Game Four, the number climbed to 227 yet we kept the Over going and won easily with the Cavs’ 137-116 victory. That finally prompted the oddsmakers to traverse the 230 Total threshold with the number placed at 231. We still took the Over and were rewarded with a 129-120 score with the Warriors closing out that series. With this Total for a regular season game with a reconfigured Cavs’ roster facing a Golden State team without Steph Curry who is injured, lets still pound the Over. The Warriors side of this equation is rudimentary. Golden State (26-7) saw their eleven-game winning streak snapped on Saturday in a 96-81 loss to Denver despite being an 8-point favorite. The Warriors shot just 38.6% from the field which was their worst shooting effort in their last twenty-two games. Expect Golden State to come out firing on all cylinders. Not only has Golden State played 6 straight games Over the Total after an upset loss but they have played 14 of their last 16 games Over the Total after an upset loss by at least 15 points as a home favorite. While the team certainly misses Curry, they still have plenty of offensive firepower with Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson along with Draymond Green and Shaun Livingston who are both listed as probable after dealing with nagging injuries. The Warriors have played 4 straight games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. |

12-22-17 | Mavs +2 v. Heat | Top | 101-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Dallas Mavericks (807) plus the points versus the Miami Heat (808). Dallas (9-23) is looking to build off their 110-93 win over Detroit on Wednesday as a 1-point favorite. That victory snapped a three-game losing streak in that game — and, not coincidentally, it was the first game back for their rookie sensation Dennis Smith who had missed the previous six games with a left hip strain. Smith scored 15 points while adding 5 assists and 5 rebounds. Look for the Mavericks to build off this momentum as they had covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a straight-up win — and they have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games after a double-digit victory. Additionally, Dallas has covered then point spread in 4 straight games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. And in their last 9 games when playing with one day of rest, the Mavs are 6-2-1 ATS. This Dallas team has a disappointing overall record — but they play hard every night for head coach Rick Carlisle. This team is 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games agains teams with a winning record. And in their last 7 games on the road, the Mavericks are 5-1-1 ATS. |

12-21-17 | Bulls v. Cavs OVER 214 | Top | 112-115 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Bulls (503) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (504). Chicago (10-20) has been on fire since getting power forward Nikolo Mirotic back on the court after missing the start of the season due to injuries sustained when he got into a fight with teammate Bobby Portis. The Bulls are undefeated since Mirotic returned to the lineup — and they have won seven straight games after their 112-94 win over Orlando last night as a 5.5-point favorite. Chicago is scoring 111.0 PPG over their last five games while making 47.7% of their shots as they clearly are buoyed with Mirotic’s presence down low. For the season, the Bulls are scoring 99.3 PPG on a 43.5% shooting percentage so Mirotic’s impact has been impressive. The Magic shot just 39.3% from the field against Chicago which was the Bulls’ best defensive effort in their last eighteen games — so they are likely to come back to Earth tonight when facing LeBron James and company at least on the defensive end of the court. As it is, Chicago has palyed 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. The Bulls have also played 8 of their last 11 games Over the Total when playing without rest and none of their players logged in more than 29 minutes last night in their easy victory. Chicago goes on the road for this contest where they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total. The Bulls have also played 4 of their last 5 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. |

12-15-17 | Jazz v. Celtics OVER 198 | Top | 107-95 | Win | 100 | 3 h 23 m | Show |
At 7:35 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (811) and the Boston Celtics (812). Boston (24-6) has won seven of their last nine games with their 124-118 win over Denver on Wednesday. The Celtics have then played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 straight games Over the Total after a narrow win by 6 points or less. The Over is also 9-2-1 in their last 12 games when playing with one day of rest. Now this team stays at home where they are averaging 106.5 PPG — and they have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total. Boston has also played 19 of their last 25 home games Over the Total after winning six or seven of their last eight games. And the Over is 25-10-1 in the Celtics’ last 36 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. The team is likely to get Al Horford back on the court as he is listed as probable with his knee injury. That helps them on offense — and the fact that Marcus Morris will still be out with his knee issue takes away one of their better post defenders. Boston has played 11 of their last 15 games Over the Total as a favorite laying 3.5 to 9.5 points. Additionally, the Celtics have played 15 of their last 20 games Over the Total with the number set in the 190 to 199.5 point range. And in their last 5 games against Western Conference opponents, the game has finished Over the Total 4 times. |

12-15-17 | Heat +5 v. Hornets | Top | 104-98 | Win | 100 | 3 h 47 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Miami Heat (803) plus the points versus the Charlotte Hornets (804). Miami (13-14) looks to bounce-back from their 102-95 loss to Portland on Wednesday as a 2.5-point favorite. The Heat have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 16 of their last 21 games after an upset loss as a home favorite. Now this team goes on the road where they have a winning 8-7 record based on tough defense as they are holding their opponents to just a 43.8% shooting percentage. Additionally, Miami has covered the point spread in 14 of their last 20 road games against teams with a winning record at home. And in their last 45 road games as the underdog, the Heat have covered the point spread in 29 of these contests. Additionally, Miami has covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 encounters with their Southeast Divisional rivals in this Hornets team. 25* NBA Southeast Division Underdog of the Month with the Miami Heat plus the points versus the Charlotte Hornets. Best of luck for us -- Frank. |

12-13-17 | Nuggets v. Celtics -6 | Top | 118-124 | Push | 0 | 3 h 9 m | Show |
At 7:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Boston Celtics (708) minus the points versus the Denver Nuggets (707). Boston (23-6) has lost two of their last three games with their 108-85 upset loss in Chicago on Monday as a 5.5-point favorite. The Celtics shot only 39.8% from the field which was their first shooting effort in their last thirteen games — and the 48.1% shooting mark for the lowly Bulls was their worst defensive performance in their last seven contests. Look for a strong effort from Boston tonight as they have covered the point spread in 4 straight games after a straight-up win — and they have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 8 games after a point spread setback. The team will be without Al Horford who is being given the night off for regular season rest which will leave the thin up front with Marcus Morris already out win an injury. But they are catching this Nuggets team limited on their front line as well with both Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap injured and out. The Celtics are blessed with depth still and they can use Aron Bynes along with their triumvirate of first-year big men in Guerschon Yabusege, Semo Ojeleye and Danied Theis when head coach Brad Stevens wants to deploy a bigger lineup. Boston does look to have Kyrie Irving on the court as he is listed as probable after dealing with a quad. The Celtics return home where they are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games — and they are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. And in their last 11 games against teams with a winning record, Boston has covered the point spread in 9 of these contests. |

12-12-17 | Lakers v. Knicks -2.5 | Top | 109-113 | Win | 100 | 2 h 58 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the New York Knicks (506) minus the points versus the Los Angeles Lakers (505). New York (13-13) has won two of their last three games with their 111-107 win over Atlanta on Sunday as a 6-point favorite. The Knicks have then covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games after a point spread loss. New York has also covered the point spread in 8 of their last 11 games when playing with one day of rest. The Knicks are without Tim Hardaway, Jr. who is out indefinitely with a leg injury — but they are likely to get Enes Kanter back on the court as he is listed as probable with a hip injury. New York stays at home for this one where they are 12-5 overall while shooting a crisp 48.2% from the field while holding their opponents to only a 42.5% shooting mark. They have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 13 games — and they have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 road games against teams with a losing record at home. The Knicks have also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 home games as the favorite laying no more than 6 points. And in their last 7 games against Western Conference opponents, New York has covered the point spread 6 times. |

12-08-17 | Kings v. Pelicans OVER 209.5 | Top | 116-109 | Win | 100 | 2 h 24 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Sacramento Kings (509) and the New Orleans Pelicans (510). New Orleans (13-12) has won two of their last three games with their 123-114 win over Denver on Wednesday. The Pelicans have then played 4 straight games Over the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game — and they have played 5 straight games Over the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last contest. The team has been without Anthony Davis for their last three games as he is dealing with a groin injury. The Pelicans hoped he could play tonight but he has been downgraded to doubtful for this contest. His absence probably hurts New Orleans more on defense. Over their last five games with three without Davis, the Pelicans are allowing 117.8 PPG while seeing their opponents shoot 49.1% from the field as compared to the 110.2 PPG they are allowing this season along with an opponents’ field goal goal percentage of 46.2%. But New Orleans is still getting plenty of offensive production from DeMarcus Cousins, Jru Holiday and company. Over their last five games, the Pelicans are scoring 114.2 PPG while shooting 50% from the field which are both well above their 109.4 PPG and 48.3% shooting percentage for the season. Moving forward, New Orleans has played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. And while this will be their third straight game at home in the Big Easy, the Pelicans have played 17 of their last 21 home games Over the Total after playing their last two games at home. Additionally, New Orleans has played 5 of their last 6 games on their home court Over the Total. And in their last 5 games against fellow Western Conference opponents, the Pelicans have played all 5 games Over the Total. |

12-06-17 | Pistons +4 v. Bucks | Top | 100-104 | Push | 0 | 4 h 48 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Detroit Pistons (515) plus the points versus the Milwaukee Bucks (516). Detroit (14-9) has dropped three straight games after their 96-93 loss in San Antonio on Monday. The Pistons shot just 41.2% from the field in that game which was their worst shooting effort in their last nine games. Detroit completes their four-game road trip tonight — and they have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games after a straight-up loss. The Pistons have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games against teams with a winning record — and they have won 11 of their last 12 road games against teams with a winning record on their home court. Detroit is looking to avenge a 99-95 loss to the Bucks back on November 15th. But this Milwaukee team is vulnerable to the 3-point shooting attack of a Stan Van Gunny team. The Bucks are last in the NBA with an opponent’s 3-point field goal percentage of 40.2% from then field — and this Pistons team is making 37.8% of their 3-pointers. Additionally, Detroit has covered the point spread in 10 of their last 12 games when the Total is set in the 200 to 209.5 point range. |

12-05-17 | Jazz v. Thunder -7.5 | Top | 94-100 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 29 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the Oklahoma City Thunder (704) minus the points versus the Utah Jazz (703). Oklahoma City (10-12) may be a surprising favorite of 7 or so points considering the trouble they have had in finding a winning chemistry on the court between Russell Westbrook with Paul George and Carmelo Anthony. But the Thunder may have finally made some adjustments that will produce better results. After losing five of six games, Oklahoma City has won two straight contests with their 90-87 win over San Antonio on Sunday. The biggest difference over these last two contests has been Carmelo Anthony — the player I have argued is the key to the success of this team. Anthony had been averaging 16 shots per game — but over the last two games, he has hoisted only seventeen combined shots. Instead, Anthony is passing the ball more as he has averaged 46 passes per game over those two games which is up almost 5 passes per game versus his 41.3 passes per game seasonal average. This is an important divisional matchup for the Thunder — and they look to avenge a 96-87 loss in Utah back on October 21st despite being 4-point favorites in that game. Oklahoma City has covered the point spread in 33 of their last 54 games when playing with same-season revenge against their opponent. The Thunder have also covered the point spread in 20 of their last 26 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. And in their last 13 games with the Total set in the 190-199.5 point range, Oklahoma City has covered the point spread in 9 of these contests. 25* NBA Northwest Divisional Game of the Month on Oklahoma City minus the points.

11-29-17 | Wizards v. 76ers -6.5 | Top | 113-118 | Loss | -102 | 1 h 59 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Philadelphia 76ers (702) minus the points versus the Washington Wizards (701). Washington (11-9) had lost four of their last five games before they pulled a 92-89 upset win at Minnesota last night. But the Wizards have then failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games after a straight-up win. Washington has also failed to cover the point spread in 15 of their last 20 games after an upset win on the road as an underdog. This team remains without John Wall who is dealing with a knee injury so the Wizards will be without their best player again tonight. Now this team travels without a day of rest to travel to Philadelphia where they have failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games. Furthermore, Washington has failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games against Eastern Conference opponents. |

11-28-17 | Nuggets +2 v. Jazz | Top | 77-106 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 51 m | Show |
At 10:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the Denver Nuggets (507) plus the points versus the Utah Jazz (508). Denver (11-8) has won six of their last nine games with their 104-92 victory over Memphis on Friday. The team shot 50.6% from the field while dominating the boards by out-rebounding the Grizzlies by a 50-23 margin. The team is with Paul Millsap who is dealing with a wrist injury — but his absence has pushed their 7’0 rising star in Nikola Jokic to take on more of a leadership role on the court. The 22-year old has scored 20.3 PPG while adding 11.0 Rebounds-Per-Game and 4.7 Assists-Per-Game in the three games since Millsap has been out. The Nuggets will be well rested for this contest — and they are 35-14-2 ATS in their last 51 games when playing with at least three days of rest. Denver has also covered the points spread in 4 of their last 5 games against teams with a losing record. Additionally, the Nuggets have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. Furthermore, Denver has covered the point spread in 44 of their last 72 road games as the underdog. |

11-22-17 | Clippers -2.5 v. Hawks | Top | 116-103 | Win | 100 | 4 h 9 m | Show |
At 7:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Los Angeles Clippers (507) minus the points versus the Atlanta Hawks (508). Los Angeles (5-11) is desperate for a victory having dropped nine straight games and eleven of their last twelve after their embarrassing 107-85 loss in New York to the Knicks as a 1.5-point favorite. The Clippers have bounced back to cover the pint spread in 5 of their last 8 games after a loss by at least 20 points. And while that setback to the Knicks came on the heels to their 15-point loss in Charlotte on Saturday, Doc Rivers’ team has then covered the point spread in 7 of their last 8 games after losing two straight games by double-digits. Despite moving on Chris Paul, the Clippers were considering a sleeper team to still compete in the Western Conference given some savvy pickups that offered Rivers more depth than perhaps at any time in his tenure in Los Angeles. But injuries have impacted this team with 6’10 forward Danilo Gallinari and point guard Patrick Beverley both missing time — and they were likely the top two offseason acquisitions of the nine new players on this season’s roster. Beverley did return to the court on Monday and logged in 22 minutes so he should be able to log in more time tonight. Even without Gallinari, there is plenty of talent on this team with Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Austin Rivers being joined by Beverley and Lou Williams among others. (6 PM ET UPDATE: Beverley re-injured himself and will miss significant time. With the Clippers still having Williams and Rivers in the backcourt and the team likely all stepping up with the news of this injury, this remains a strong 25* play -- Thanks, Frank). Not having won a game since November 1st, the Clippers need to take advantage of this opportunity in facing a lowly Hawks team. It is telling that the oddsmakers still have Los Angeles favored despite this losing streak — and they have covered the point spread in 22 of their last 36 road games when laying no more than 6 points as the favorite. The Clippers have also covered the point spread in 17 of their last 27 road games when listed in the +/- 3-point range. And in their last 5 games against teams with a winning percentage below 40%, LA has covered the point spread in 4 of these contests. Additionally, this is the fifth straight game for this team against Eastern Conference opponents as they continue this east coast swing — and they have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 14 games after playing at least three straight games against Eastern Conference foes. |

At 7:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Miami Heat (703) plus the points versus the Washington Wizards (704). Miami (6-8) has lost two straight games after their 102-93 upset loss to the Wizards at home on Wednesday as a 2-point favorite. The Heat have bounced back to cover the point spread in 14 of their last 19 games after an upset loss as a home favorite. Miami has also covered the point spread in 22 of their last 32 games when avenging an upset loss against their opponent. Now the Heat go on the road where they have covered the point spread in 11 of their last 15 games. Miami has also covered the point spread in 9 of their last 11 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. And while the Heat have failed to cover the point spread in two straight games, they have then covered the point spread in 10 straight road games after failing to cover the point spread in two straight games. And in their last 31 games against the Wizards, Miami is 22-8-1 ATS. |

11-16-17 | Rockets v. Suns OVER 228 | Top | 142-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (503) and the Phoenix Suns (504). Houston (11-4) saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday with their 1219-113 loss to Toronto despite being a 6.5-point favorite in that game. Chris Paul may take the court again for the Rockets which does not shape much into the rationale for this play (outside of helping this Houston team ensure they always have a potent point guard on the court since the original plan was to have one of these two stars on the court at all times this season). The Rockets shot just 41.8% from the field against the Raptors which was their worst shooting effort in their last seven games. Expect Houston to get back to their torrid shooting pace as they are scoring 119.2 PPG over their last five games while nailing 48% of their shots even with their poor performance on Tuesday during that span. But the Rockets’ style of play does allow the opposition to find easy shots on their own. Over their last five games, Houston is allowing 108.6 PPG while seeing these opponents make 48.5% of their shots. The Rockets have played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss at home. Houston has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. The Rockets have also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. Additionally, Houston has played a decisive 38 of their last 53 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% — and they have played 6 straight Overs against teams with a losing record. And in their last 24 road games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on their home court, the Rockets have played 17 of these games Over the Total. |

11-13-17 | Grizzlies v. Bucks UNDER 200 | Top | 103-110 | Loss | -107 | 2 h 26 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies (705) and the Milwaukee Bucks (706). Memphis (7-5) has lost four of their last six games with their 111-96 loss at Houston on Saturday. The Grizzlies have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Despite moving on from Zach Randolph and defensive wizard Tony Allen in the offseason who were the face of their “Grit-n-Grind” identity, this Memphis team still is playing great defense. Opposing teams are shooting just 42.6% from the field this season. Now this team stays on the road for their fifth straight contest — and they have played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total after playing at least three straight games on the road. The Under is also 4-1-1 in their last 6 games when playing with one day of rest. Furthermore, the Under is 11-5-1 in the Grizzlies last 17 games when playing on the road. And in their last 7 games with the Total set in the 200 to 209.5 point range, the game finished Under the Total 5 times. |

10-30-17 | Spurs +4 v. Celtics | Top | 94-108 | Loss | -115 | 1 h 5 m | Show |
At 7:35 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing the San Antonio Spurs (701) plus the points versus the Boston Celtics (702). San Antonio (4-2) has lost two straight games after their upset 97-94 loss at Indiana yesterday. The Spurs have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 11 games after a loss by 3 points or less — and they have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games after a loss by just 3 points on the road. Furthermore, San Antonio has covered the point spread in a decisive 208 of their last 354 games after an upset loss — so head coach Gregg Popovich has proven success in getting his team to get back to business after an upset loss. His teams have covered the point spread in 45 of their last 71 games in the first-half of the season. The Spurs have also covered the point spread in 8 of their last 13 road games when playing without rest in a second straight road game. Additionally, San Antonio has covered the point spread in 14 of their last 22 road games with the Total set in the 190-199.5 point range. The team is without Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard right now with both dealing with quad injuries — but the Spurs’ depth keeps them a reliable team during the grind of the regular season. |

10-25-17 | Grizzlies v. Mavs +4 | Top | 94-103 | Win | 100 | 3 h 4 m | Show |
At 8:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Dallas Mavericks (514) plus the points versus the Memphis Grizzlies (513). Dallas (0-4) looks to bounce-back from an ugly 133-103 loss to Golden State as a 13.5-point underdog on Monday which left them winless so far this season. Look for the Mavericks to bounce-back with a strong effort tonight. Not only has Dallas rebounded to cover the point spread in 13 of their last 17 games after a loss by at least 20 points — and they have covered the point spread in 4 straight games after a loss by at least 30 points. Expect Rick Carlisle’s team to play better on defense after they allowed the Warriors to nail 55.8% of their shots. The Mavericks have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 12 games after allowing their last opponent to at least 55% shooting — and they have covered the point spread in 12 of their last 17 games after allowing at least 125 points in their last game. While this is a team that is in flux in the tale end of the Dirk Nowitzki era, their disappointing 33-49 record last year can be explained in some measures by a slow start and a host of injuries. There is talent on this team with veterans Harrison Barnes, Nerlens Noel and Nowitzki complementing their rookie point guard Dennis Smith, Jr. out of NC State who is being touted as the steal of the draft and the potential Rookie of the Year. |

06-12-17 | Cavs v. Warriors OVER 230.5 | Top | 120-129 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show |
At 9:00 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (709) and the Golden State Warriors (710). Cleveland (64-35) made a huge withdrawal from the Bank of the Regression Gods on Friday by collecting on the plethora of missed open shots in the first three games of this series en route to their epic 137-116 victory over the Warriors. The Cavaliers broke a host of NBA Finals records including most points in the first quarter (49), most points by halftime (86) — and their 115 points after three quarters were more than they what they had scored in any of the first three games of this series. Cleveland made 59.1% of their uncontested shots in Game Four after making host 38.4% of their uncontested shots in the first three games of this series. And most of those shots were from behind the arc — the Cavaliers became the first team in NBA Finals history to take more 3-point shots than 2-point shots. That is the simplest way to dissect why Golden State has a 3-1 lead in this series. In Game Four, Cleveland players not named LeBron James or Kyrie Irving combined to make 14 of their 25 (56%) 3-pointers. It is that simple. Golden State (82-16) scored 116 points on their losing effort despite shooting just 44.8% from the field which was their second worst shooting performance in their last nine games. The Warriors also made just 11 of 39 shots from downtown (28.2%). Draymond Green’s 16 shots were more than both Stephen Curry (13) and Klay Thompson (11). And after averaging 33 PPG in transition in the first three games of this series, the Warriors managed only 7 points in transition. So while it would be foolish to expect the Cavs to come close to replicating their offensive performance from Game Four, it is very reasonable to expect Golden State to play much better on offense and surpass the 116 points they scored on Friday. In a series that is fast-paced with plenty of 3-point attempts and plenty of trips to the charity stripe, I still don’t think the oddsmakers adjustment to (finally) place the Total in the low-230s is high enough. After four games, Cleveland is 77 of 100 (77%) which translates to a 19.3-25 FT/FTA per game average. Golden State has made 82 of 100 free throws for a 20.6-25 FT/FTA per game average. These teams are combining to tack off 40 points from the Total just from the charity stripe. The 3-point numbers are even more fascinating (as I tweeted out this morning). Cleveland has made 55 of 149 shots from behind the arc for a 36.9% average. Golden State has made 57 of 148 shots from the 3-point line for a 38.6% mark. Both teams are averaging 13.8 and 14.3 made 3s per game on 37.3 and 37 shots per game from behind the arc. In this closeout game which should see both teams starters on the floor until the waning moments even if one team is dominating, expect another high-scoring affair. |

06-09-17 | Warriors v. Cavs OVER 228.5 | Top | 116-137 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show |
At 9:00 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (707) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (708). Cleveland (63-35) finds themselves on the brink of elimination after blowing a 6-point lead late in the 4th quarter in their 118-113 loss on Wednesday as a 3-point underdog. With the second straight game where at least 231 combined points were scored, the Total has risen to the 228 range. With a number that high, it does not take much defense or slowing of the pace to produce an Under. But do not expect the Cavaliers to mail-in this effort. Cleveland will be playing for pride on their home court — and the opportunity to ruin the Warriors attempt to make history with the NBA’s first perfect 16-0 playoff mark should ensure a fast start for the underdogs. While this series can be dissected to death, my primary take is quite simple: Cleveland is not making baskets. On Wednesday, they shot only 44.4% from the field while making just 12 of their 44 shots from the 3-point line (27.3%). In Game One, the Caves made only 34.9% of their shots while making 11 of their 31 shots from the 3-point line for a 35.5% mark that turned out to be their best so far in these playoffs. In Game Two, Cleveland shot 45% from the field (their best mark in this series) but made only 8 of 29 of their 3-pointers (27.6%). Credit the Warriors’ defense — but keep in mind they are primarily focused on stopping LeBron James and Kyrie Irving who combined for 77 points on Wednesday. There is no question that Zaza Pachulia and the rest of the Warriors have completely neutered Tristan Thompson. But the Cavaliers’ supporting cast continue to miss open 3-point shots which has been the biggest difference in this series. In Game Three, they made only 3 of their 18 corner 3-point attempts while making just 7 of their 30 uncontested 3-point shots! Now with the pressure off this team facing a near-impossible 0-3 deficit to overcome, I do expect some of the 3-pointers to find the net rather than the rim. I won’t re-quote the analytics entering this series for the Cavaliers that I have referenced previously — but suffice to say that their Offensive Efficiency and effective field goal percentage was not just better than the Warriors this postseason but the best mark in the NBA Playoffs over the last forty years. That 44.4% mark in Game Three was their second worst offensive performance in their last twelve games — with the worst being Game One of the NBA Finals when they were playing off the rust of six days rest. This remains a team that shoots 48.6% on their home court while also making 39.1% of their shots from behind the arc. The Cavs’ open jumpers — and 3-pointers — are bound to fall sooner rather than later. |

06-07-17 | Warriors v. Cavs +4 | Top | 118-113 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 52 m | Show |
At 9:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the Cleveland Cavaliers (706) plus the points versus the Golden State Warriors (705). Golden State (81-15) have read and have heard from almost everywhere that the NBA Finals are a fait accompli after their decisive 132-113 victory over the Cavaliers in Game Two of this series on Sunday. In fact, the debate has often changed from whether or not the Warriors will dethrone this Cleveland team (that did find themselves in this situation entering Game Three last season) and instead has been replaced in many areas over the unresolvable debate regarding how they would fare against the 1996 Chicago Bulls or the Magic Johnson “Showtime” Lakers. This is an instance where the two days between games may work at the detriment for one of the teams in the playoffs. It may very hard for Golden State to have not lost just a bit of their edge after reading about their inevitable championship. And for a team that made 18 of their 43 shots from behind the arc on Sunday for a nice 41.9% clip, this overconfidence may translate into settling for too many jump shots — as was the case in the second-half in Game Two (albeit, they were making these shots). That was the case for Kevin Durant as well as his teammates in the second-half on Sunday. And while the Warriors do make over 40% of their 3-pointers on their home court this season, that mark does drop to a more modest 36.0% mark when on the road. Golden State made 36.4% of their 3-pointers in the first game of this series — and that translated into 19 fewer points from not coincidentally 18 less points via 3-pointers for the Warriors. Golden State’s 20 turnovers on Sunday were 16 more than what they committed in the opening game of this series — and this is a trend that should continue in the Cavs’ favor as they can get too loose with the basketball. Surprisingly, the Warriors out-rebounded the Cavaliers by a 53-41 margin. Golden State also made more free throws (22) than Cleveland attempted (19). Both of those events are highly unlikely to replicate themselves. Cleveland entered this series averaging 33 free throw attempts per 100 possessions which was 2nd most in these playoffs. Back on their home court, don’t be surprised that the Cavs see themselves the beneficiaries of many more whistles. |

05-22-17 | Warriors v. Spurs OVER 217.5 | Top | 129-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
At 9:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (725) and the San Antonio Spurs (726). San Antonio (69-28) decided to play small-ball on Saturday in Game Three of this series which resulted in them being at their most competitive against the Warriors since losing Kawhi Leonard to his left ankle injury. However, the Spurs still lost that game by a 120-108 score as a 9-point underdog. Kyle Anderson was inserted into the starting lineup — and while he is not a prolific scorer per se, he did help San Antonio score points through his athleticism. San Antonio forced 21 turnovers which instigated 25 points — and they also scored 23 points on the fast break. With LaMarcus Aldridge still struggling on offense being very uncomfortable in the role of the team’s primary scorer, look for head coach Gregg Popovich to continue to play small ball with perhaps Aldridge seeing more time on the bench. Small-ball means faster play and more offense for the Spurs (and the Warriors) — and that helps our Over even if Aldridge and his disastrous play on defense is on the bench. As it is, San Antonio has played 20 of their last 28 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 8 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a point spread loss. Furthermore, the Spurs have played 19 of their last 27 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss. San Antonio has also played 10 of their last 12 games Over the Total when avenging a double-digit loss. Additionally, the Spurs have played 5 straight games on their home court Over the Total. And while San Antonio has failed to cover the point spread in four of their last six games, they have then played 8 of their last 9 home games Over the Total after failing to cover the point spread in four or five of their last six games. |

05-21-17 | Celtics +17 v. Cavs | Top | 111-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
At 8:35 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing the Boston Celtics (503) plus the points versus the Cleveland Cavaliers (504). Boston (61-36) was absolutely humiliated on Friday in their 130-86 loss to the Cavaliers. They shot 37.2% from the field which was their worst offensive effort in their last six games. And the 56.5% shooting mark they saw Cleveland enjoy was their second worst defensive effort of the season. To compound matters, Isaiah Thomas suffered a season-ending right hip injury. This is an ugly situation — and hold your nose if you must with the Celtics. There are +17s out there now … and it might be +18 by tipoff. That’s just crazy. Its one thing to expect Golden State to pull away as a 8 to 9 point favorite as they did last night to our great satisfaction … but getting 18 points against a humiliated team that will come out and play very hard is too good to pass up. Expect Boston to come out and play with maximum effort as they look to redeem themselves from suffering the worst home playoff loss for the Celtics franchise in the club’s history. Being without Thomas does not help — but there remains plenty of solid players on this team led by Al Horford. Depth and 3-point shooting are both strengths of this team — and don’t be surprised if the long range shooting of this team dramatically improves with all the pressure gone now in this series. As it is, Boston has covered the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games after a double-digit loss. The Celtics have also covered the point spread in 9 of their last 10 games after losing three of their last four games. Boston has also covered the point spread in 23 of their last 33 games when playing with double revenge. Furthermore, the Celtics have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 road games against teams with a winning record at home. And in their last 5 trips to Cleveland, Boston is 3-1-1 ATS. |

05-20-17 | Warriors -8 v. Spurs | Top | 120-108 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
At 9:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing the Golden State Warriors (723) minus the points versus the San Antonio Spurs (724). San Antonio (69-27) will be without Kawhi Leonard tonight as Gregg Popovich has ruled him out for tonight’s game. The Warriors opened as a 6-point favorite in this game — and the news of Leonard’s absence tonight has pushed the line to the -8 to -9 point range (as of this writing). The oddsmakers are begging bettors to take the Spurs on their home court — and the “sharp” play is probably San Antonio. The “sharp” play was with the Celtics last night too. Sometimes, there are just mismatches — and this Spurs team is now without two of their key players in both Leonard and Tony Parker. Since Leonard left in Game One of this series, the Warriors have then outscored them by a 130-77 margin. The onus falls on LaMarcus Aldridge to carry this team on offense — but he has not shown any inclination that he is up to the task. His 17.8 PPG scoring average along with a 15.8 Player Rating and his 1.0 Blocks Per Game are all career lows in these playoffs — and those numbers include the 12 games he played with Leonard in the first two series. In the 43 minutes he has played since Leonard’s injury, Aldridge is 7 of 22 from the floor for just 16 points while committing 8 turnovers. Granted, the Spurs will play much better than they did on Tuesday in their 136-100 loss to the Warriors. But San Antonio has failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games after a double-digit loss. This team emotionally unprepared to compete without Leonard in that game which begs the question regarding how confident they will be tonight when all is said and done. Furthermore, this has always been a team that collectively was better than the sum of its individual parts under the leadership of Popovich. It is telling that they have failed to cover the point spread in 33 of their last 49 games against teams that outscore their opponents by at least +9.0 PPG. |

At 8:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (501) and the Boston Celtics (502). Boston (61-35) was emotionally flat in the first half of the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics missed all eight of their open 3-point shots in the first-half en route to making only 12 of 38 shots from behind the arc (31.8%) in a 117-104 loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday as a 3.5-point underdog. Isaiah Thomas scored only 17 points in that game. Expect this Boston team that makes 36.1% from the 3-point line on their home court to shoot better from behind the arc. The Celtics should also come out with much more energy tonight considering the urgency they will face in needing to win this game before traveling to Cleveland to play Games Three and Four. Boston can exploit the Cavaliers who were last in the regular season in transition defense. The Celtics have played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss. The Over is also 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a point spread setback. And in their last 16 home games, the Over is 12-3-1 — and that includes being a perfect 7-0 in these playoffs. |

At 8:00 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the Boston Celtics (520) minus the points versus the Washington Wizards (519). Boston (59-33) returns home after dropping the last two games on the road in this series with their 121-102 loss to the Wizards. The Celtics allowed the Washington to shoot 52.4% from the field in their worst defensive effort in their last seventeen games. Look for the Celtics — along with their leader Isaiah Thomas — to rebound with a much better game. As it is, Boston has covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games after a straight-up loss —and they have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a double-digit loss. Thomas complained about the referees after Sunday’s loss after not getting to the free throw line even once in that contest. Expect that to change dramatically in Game Five of this series. Furthermore, while the Celtics have allowed at least 111 points in four straight games, the Celtics have then covered the point spread in 11 of their last 13 games on their home court after allowing at least 105 points in three straight games. |

At 9:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing the Golden State Warriors (701) minus the points versus the Utah Jazz (702). Utah (55-37) finds themselves big underdogs despite being on their home court as they face the risk of elimination after falling 0-3 in this series with their 102-91 loss to the Warriors on Saturday. It first glance, it might look like the “sharp” play to take the Jazz getting all these points on their home court, but there are a few reasons to suspect that Utah missed their chance to have a competitive game with the two-time defending Western Conference Champions on Saturday. Gordon Hayward scored 29 points in that game while Rudy Gobert added another 21 points and 15 rebounds. Utah held a 34-23 advantage in free throw attempts as well. Yet, they still lost by double-digits. It was only a second quarter where the Jazz outscored the Warriors by a 33-22 margin that kept this game as close at it was. The Utah bench managed to produce only 10 points in 4 of 22 shooting which exposes a real problem for this team that will not likely be significantly improved tonight. This team needs a healthy and productive George Hill running the offense to make a group that only scored 100.7 PPG in the regular season (27th in the NBA) more potent. Hill missed Game Three and is listed as questionable tonight with his toe injury. And even if he takes the court, he does not appear likely to be close to 100%. Remember, this overachieving team was just 19-25 straight-up against teams with a winning record during the regular season — and even two of those wins were in the last week against these Warriors and the Spurs who were both resting their starters in preparation for the playoffs. Utah is just 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games on their home court. And while the Jazz have covered the point spread in five of rather last seven games, they have then failed to cover the point spread in 8 straight home games after covering the point spread in four or five of their last six games. |

At 9:05 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing the Houston Rockets (516) minus the points versus the San Antonio Spurs (515). Houston (60-30) played great in the first game of this series but they have played two clunkers in a row after their 103-92 upset loss at home to San Antonio as a 5.5-point favorite on Friday in what was truly just a painful game to watch. As good as the Rockets looked in Game One, they were simply a disaster in Game Three. Their 36.4% shooting percentage was their worst offensive effort of the season. Houston should play much better Sunday night. The Rockets have covered the point spread in 26 of their last 42 games after a point spread loss. Houston has also covered the point spread in 8 of their last 9 games when looking to avenge an upset loss to their opponent as the home favorite. James Harden had a solid statistical game but was nowhere close to the Most Valuable Player candidate that he has pushed for this season. He should play better by pressing less with his teammates stepping up and playing better around him on their home court. |

Golden State (73-15) has now won seven straight games with their 115-104 win over the Jazz on Thursday as a 13.5-point favorite. The Warriors have then played 12 of their last 17 games Under the Total after a double-digit win. Golden State has also played 23 of their last 31 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Furthermore, while the Warriors have failed to cover the point spread in the first two games of this series, they have then played a decisive 42 of their last 60 games Under the Total after failing to cover the point spread in two straight games. Golden State has won their last three games by at least 12 points — and they have then played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total after winning at least three straight gams by double-digits. And while the Warriors have scored at least 106 points in seven straight games, they have then played 13 of their last 18 road games Under the Total after scoring at least 105 points in five straight games. Additionally, Golden State has played 25 of the last 35 road games Under the Total which includes twelve of their last seventeen games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. And in their last 26 games against teams with a winning record, the Under is 19-6-1. |

At 7:00 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing the Toronto Raptors (736) plus the points versus the Cleveland Cavaliers (735). Toronto (55-35) finds themselves in deep trouble in this series after getting blown out for the second straight time on Wednesday in a 125-103 loss as a 7.5-point underdog. And while the Raptors looked outmatched to fall behind 0-2 in this series, that was the same scenario last season when Toronto lost by 31 and 19 points in the first two games in the Eastern Conference Finals before returning home to win the third game of that series by a decisive 99-84 score. As it is, Toronto has covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after a straight-up loss. Furthermore, the Raptors return home for the first time since April 24th — and they have covered the point spread in 6 straight home games after being on the road for at least seven days. Additionally, Toronto is 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. And while the first two games have finished Over the Total, the Raptors have covered the point spread in 14 of their last 20 games after playing at least two straight Overs. Kyle Lowry is listed as questionable in this game with a twisted left ankle — but he has said he will take the court tonight. Even if he does not play, the Raptors supporting cast will play better back on their home court. Remember, this Toronto team is better than the one that took the Cavs to six games last season. They went 22-9 over their last thirty-one regular season games after acquiring Serge Ibaka. |

Boston (59-31) shot 51.1% from the field for the second straight game to rally from a late hole to force overtime and defeat the Wizards by a 129-119 score. Isaiah Thomas was unstoppable in the 4th quarter and overtime by scoring 29 points during that span and 53 points overall — and this Washington team that ranked a lowly 20th during the regular season in Defensive Efficiency. As it is, the Celtics are 5-2-1 in their last 8 games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Boston has also played 13 of their last 16 games Over the Total after scoring at least 120 points in their last game — and they have played 4 straight Overs after scoring at least 125 points in their last contest. And while the Celtics have covered the points spread in six straight games, they have then played 9 of their last 10 games Over the Total after covering the point spread in three straight contests. Furthermore, the Over is 9-4-1 in Boston’s last 14 games when playing with one day of rest. And in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record, the Celtics have played 5 of these games Over the Total. |

05-03-17 | Rockets v. Spurs OVER 216 | Top | 96-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
At 9:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (733) and the San Antonio Spurs (734). Houston (60-28) nailed 22 shots from behind the arc on Monday en route to their 126-99 win over the Spurs to take a 1-0 lead in this series as a 6-point underdog. The Rockets have then seen the Over go 9-4-1 in their last 14 games after a point spread win. Houston will want to push the pace as fast as possible again tonight in Mike D’Antoni’s system as they hope to tire out this aging San Antonio team. The Rockets scored 112.8 PPG in the first-round of the playoffs while proudly being a beacon for the analytics community with 84% of their shots either being inside of 3-feet to the basket or from 3-point land. And Houston made only 28% of their 3-pointers against the Thunder — so the ceiling is high for this team if they can get closer to their 36% shooting mark from behind the arc. The Rockets have now won six of their last seven games — and they have played 24 of their last 36 games Over the Total after winning four of their last five games. The Over is also 3-1-1 in their last 5 games against familiar Southwest Division opponents. And in their last 8 games in the Western Conference Semifinals, Houston has played 7 of these games Over the Total. |

04-30-17 | Wizards +5 v. Celtics | Top | 111-123 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 2 m | Show |
At 1:00 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing the Washington Wizards (735) plus the points versus the Boston Celtics (736). Boston (57-31) rallied from a 2-0 hole in their series with the Bulls to win four straight games to advance to the second round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Who knows where that series would be if Chicago’s Rajon Rondo would not have suffered a season-ending injury after that second game — they probably would be playing a decisive seventh game this afternoon. But instead, the Celtics covered the point spread in all four of their victories culminating in as 105-83 victory in Chicago on Friday. Boston played their best game in the playoffs in that contest. Their 48.7% shooting percentage was their best offensive effort in their last eight games. And by holding the Bulls to just a 39.5% shooting mark, the Celtics produced their nest defensive performance in their last seven contests. Expect a big letdown in this contest after the team collectively exhales from the emotional effort that exhumed against Chicago. The Isaiah Thomas funeral situation continues to linger with the star point guard attending that event for his sister yesterday. As it is, Boston has failed to cover the point spread in 15 of their last 18 games after three straight wins. The Celtics have also failed to cover the point spread in 8 straight games after winning four straight games. And in their last 10 games on their home court, Boston has failed to cover the point spread 8 times. |

04-28-17 | Clippers v. Jazz UNDER 195 | Top | 98-93 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Clippers (507) and the Utah Jazz (508). Utah (54-33) has significantly upped its game on the defensive end of the court with the return of their rim protector Rudy Gobert. The Jazz held the Clippers to just 42% shooting on Tuesday en route to their 96-92 victory as a 3-point underdog to help them take a 3-2 lead in this series. That came on the heels of holding Los Angeles to just 44% shooting in the fourth game of this series. Gobert is one of the top candidates to win Defensive Player of the Year honors this season after holding opponents to just a 43.9% shooting clip at the rim with contested shots during the regular season. Now with the Jazz having the opportunity to close this series out on their home court, expect a lower scoring contest with the stakes so high. Utah has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. But this can be a team that struggles to score points. They were 27th in the NBA during the regular season with a 100.7 PPG scoring average. Quin Snyder’s team also plays the slowest pace in the league. Furthermore, in the Jazz’s last 75 games as a favorite in the 3.5-9.5 point range, Utah has played 46 of these games Under the Total. |

04-26-17 | Hawks v. Wizards -6 | Top | 99-103 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 22 m | Show |
At 6:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the Washington Wizards (710) minus the points versus the Atlanta Hawks (709). Washington (51-35) returns home with this series tied at 2-2 after their 111-101 loss to the Hawks on Monday. The Wizards have then covered the point spread in 18 of their last 27 games when avenging a loss on the road to their opponent. Washington has also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games against an opponent that allowed at least 100 points in their last game. And in their last 5 games after scoring at least 100 points in their last contest, the Wizards have covered the point spread in 4 of these games. Remember, this Washington team was outstanding for most of the season — they had the 3rd best record in the entire NBA over the last 65 games of the regular season with a 43-21 mark. This Wizards team is also much better at home where they have covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games. Furthermore, Washington has covered the point spread in 17 of their last 24 home games with the Total set in the 210-219.5 point range. Additionally, the Wizards have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. |

04-25-17 | Thunder +7.5 v. Rockets | Top | 99-105 | Win | 100 | 5 h 8 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing the Oklahoma City Thunder (705) plus the points versus the Houston Rockets (706). Houston (58-28) took a commanding 3-1 lead in this series on Sunday with their 113-109 win over the Thunder as a 1.5-point underdog. But the Rockets have then failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after a straight-up loss — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a point spread victory. Furthermore, Houston has failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 12 games when playing with one day of rest. This team will probably win this game tonight — but they do not play good enough on the defensive end of the court to be reliable when being asked to lay 8 or so points. Houston allows 109.4 PPG and they have allowed their last five opponents to make over 47% of their shots from the field. Additionally, the Rockets consistently fail to meet point spread expectations when playing at home. Not only has Houston failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 6 home games but they have also failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 home games against teams that have a losing record on the road. |

04-24-17 | Wizards v. Hawks UNDER 211 | Top | 101-111 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 2 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Wizards (519) and the Atlanta Hawks (520). Washington (51-34) allowed the Hawks to shoot 49.4% from the field on Saturday in their 116-98 loss in Game Three of this series. That was the Wizards’ second worst defensive effort over their last seven contests. This team must increase their pressure on the Hawks’ point guard Dennis Schroder who has averaged 25 PPG in this series after registering 27 points in his team’s Game Three victory. Washington also shot just 41.6% from the field in their first road game in this series. Furthermore, the Under is supported by a historical angle that has been 71% effective since 1996. This is Washington’s just fifth game in the last fourteen days — and in games with the Total set at least at 200 involving a road team with a winning percentage in the 51-60% range playing no more than their fifth game in fourteen days now facing a team with a winning record, these games finished Under the Total in 46 of the last 65 situations where these conditions applied. |

04-23-17 | Celtics v. Bulls +2.5 | Top | 104-95 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 29 m | Show |
At 6:35 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing the Chicago Bulls (514) plus the points versus the Boston Celtics (513). Chicago (43-42) looks to bounce-back from their 104-87 loss to the Celtics on Friday as a 2.5-point underdog. The Bulls struggled to run their offense without Rajon Rondo — and the point guard will likely be out for the rest of this series. But expect Jerian Grant and Michael Carter-Williams to play better with a game under their belts. And expect Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade to help fill in some gaps. As it is, Chicago has rebounded to cover the point spread in 7 straight games after a loss — and they have covered the point spread in 6 straight games after a point spread setback. Additionally, the Bulls have covered the points spread in 5 of their last 7 games after a double-digit loss — and they have covered the point spread in 22 of their last 31 games on their home court after a double-digit setback. Chicago has also covered the point spread in 13 of their last 17 games after failing to score more than 90 points in their last game. Additionally, this Bulls team remains a team that has covered the point spread in 22 of their last 29 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. |

04-22-17 | Warriors v. Blazers +7 | Top | 119-113 | Win | 100 | 3 h 56 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing the Portland Trail Blazers (508) plus the points versus the Golden State Warriors (508). Portland (41-43) looks to bounce-back from an embarrassing 110-81 to the Warriors on Wednesday as a 12-point underdog. The Trail Blazers have then bounced-back to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a straight-up loss. This shot just 33.3% from the field in that game which was their worst offensive effort in their last eighteen contests. Portland has also covered the point spread in 5 straight games after a point spread setback. And while the Blazers have dropped the first two games of this series, they have then covered the point spread in 9 of their last 10 games after two straight losses on the road. Returning home should help where they have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 9 games. This team also won eleven of their last fourteen games on their home court to close out the regular season. Portland has also covered the point spread in 5 straight home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. |

At 8:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing the San Antonio Spurs (505) minus the points versus the Memphis Grizzlies (506). San Antonio (63-22) looks to take a commanding 3-1 lead in this series tonight after losing to the Grizzlies by a 105-94 score. Head coach Gregg Popovich benched his five starters with less than a minute into the second half for sloppy play — and that should send a very stern message to his team moving forward in this postseason. The Spurs have covered the point spread in 30 of their last 46 games when looking to avenge a loss to their opponents. San Antonio is also 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games after a straight-up loss. And in their last 6 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game, the Spurs have covered the point spread 5 times. And in their last 8 games in the Western Conference Quarterfinals, San Antonio has covered the point spread in 6 of those contests. |

04-21-17 | Celtics -2 v. Bulls | Top | 104-87 | Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing the Boston Celtics (715) minus the points versus the Chicago Bulls (716). Boston (53-31) finds themselves in a desperate situation tonight having dropped the first two games of this series on their home court after a 111-97 loss on Tuesday despite being a 7.5-point favorite. Brad Stevens team has responded well after poor efforts as they have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games after a double-digit setback. The team has been distracted and had their energy sapped due to the tragic death of Isaiah Thomas’ sister — but with the obvious sense of urgency this team now faces, expect the Celtics to respond with their best effort of this series tonight. Boston has covered the point spread in 19 of their last 27 games on the road when avenging a double-digit loss to their opponent. The Celtics have also covered the point spread in 22 of their last 32 games when playing with double-revenge. Furthermore, this deep team has proven themselves as capable road warriors considering that they are 10-4-2 ATS in their last 16 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. |

At 9:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (713) and the Memphis Grizzlies (714). San Antonio (63-21) seized a 2-0 lead in this series on Monday with their 96-82 win over the Grizzlies as a 10.5-point favorite. The Spurs have then played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total when playing with two days of rest. San Antonio has also played 4 of their last 5 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home. |

04-20-17 | Spurs v. Grizzlies +4.5 | Top | 94-105 | Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show |
At 9:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing the Memphis Grizzlies (714) plus the points versus the San Antonio Spurs (713). Memphis (43-41) returns home looking to bounce-back from a 96-82 loss to the Spurs on Monday as a 10.5-point underdog. Head coach David Fizdale issued an epic rant after the game complaining about the officiating in that game. He has a point. The Grizzlies scored 35 points in the paint but attempted 15 free throws while the Spurs scored just 18 points in the paint but got to the line 32 times. Kawhi Leonard’s 19 free throws were more then the entire Memphis team. Expect the Grizzlies to see more whistles in this game. The oddsmakers seem to agree with Memphis opening as a small 2.5-point underdog which looked pretty low for a team that was blown out by 14 and 29 points. Certainly it is a good bet that Zack Randolph will get to the charity stripe at least once tonight after not attempting even one free throw on Monday. Memphis has covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. And in their last 8 games on TNT Thursday, the Grizzlies have covered the point spread 7 times. |

04-19-17 | Hawks +5.5 v. Wizards | Top | 101-109 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 34 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the Atlanta Hawks (701) plus the points versus the Washington Wizards (702). Atlanta (43-40) found themselves up 48-45 at the half on Sunday in a first half that was at their pace — but then the Wizards exploded for 38 points in the 3rd period en route to their 114-107 victory. Over there last two days, Mike Budenholzer has been working with his team to slow down Washington and transition and make this into a slower-tempo game like it was in those first 24 minutes on Sunday. The Hawks were 4th in the NBA in points allowed per 100 possessions. Atlanta’s vast playoff experience edge should help them keep this game very close (at least) tonight. The Hawks have covered the point spread in 14 of their last 18 road games after a game against a divisional rival. And while Atlanta has lost two straight games, they have then covered the point spread in 23 of their last 32 road games after losing two of their last three games. Furthermore, the Hawks have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. |

04-18-17 | Bucks v. Raptors UNDER 194 | Top | 100-106 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 33 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Bucks (525) and the Toronto Raptors (526). Toronto (51-32) lost their ninth straight opening game to the postseason on Sunday with their 97-83 loss to the Bucks as a 7.5-point underdog. Scoring was a problem for this team as they shot just 36% from the field while managing only 32 points in the second half. This Milwaukee team is underrated on the defensive end of the court particularly with Khris Middleton healthy and contributing. The Raptors must get back into this series by playing harder on the defensive end of their end. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 28 points in the victory with the Raptors head coach Dwane Casey declaring that his team must get back in transition to limit the Greek superstar’s offensive fireworks. With the acquisitions of P.J. Tucker and Serge Ibaka at the trade deadline, this Toronto team is significantly better on defense. After allowing 106.0 points per 100 possessions before they both arrived, that number dropped to allowing 102.3 points per 100 possessions which was 5th best in the league over that final span of games. The Raptors should comeback with a strong defensive effort. They have played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 13 of their last 17 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, Toronto has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss. Moving forward, the Raptors have played 12 of their last 14 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. And in their last 8 games in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, Toronto has played 7 of these games Under the Total. |

04-17-17 | Grizzlies v. Spurs OVER 189 | Top | 82-96 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
At 9:35 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies (519) and the San Antonio Spurs (520). San Antonio (62-21) trailed by 13 points in the first quarter on Saturday — but this team stepped up their level of play to go on a 19-0 run to close out the 3rd quarter and begin the 4th quarter to pull away for an easy 111-82 victory. The Spurs have then played 16 of their last 20 home games Over the Total after a win by at least 20 points. San Antonio has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. With the Grizzlies missing their defensive spark plug in Tony Allen, the Spurs were able to shoot 53.2% from the floor. Allen remains out in this series with his leg injury so San Antonio should continue to have their way on offense. They have now played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against Western Conference opponents. |

04-16-17 | Thunder v. Rockets -7 | Top | 87-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show |
At 9:00 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing the Houston Rockets (516) minus the points versus the Oklahoma City Thunder (515). Houston (55-27) closed out the regular season winning five of their last seven games — but they failed to reward bettors by failing to cover the point spread in six straight games while going 0-8-1 ATS in their last nine contest. I like the Rockets from this technical perspective in this opening contest — and this is a team that has covered the point spread in 71 of their last 115 games after failing to cover the point spread in six or seven of their last eight games. The rest should also help this team recharge their jets in Mike D’Antoni’s up-tempo offense that led the NBA in 3-point attempts and 3-pointers made. Houston has covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games when playing with at least three days of rest. The Rockets won three of the four meetings between these two teams while making 37.5% of their 3-pointers which was an uptick versus their 35.7% mark overall. Expect this Houston team to take a page out of the old “Jordan Rules” that the Detroit Pistons used to great success against Michael Jordan in the late-1980s. The Rockets will let Russell Westbrook put up great numbers: he averaged 36.3 PPG along with 9.0 RPG and 9.3 APG in those four games this season. But make Westbrook get tired while failing to get his teammates involved offers them an opportunity to overwhelm the Thunder. |

04-15-17 | Pacers v. Cavs -8.5 | Top | 108-109 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 2 m | Show |
At 3:00 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing the Cleveland Cavaliers (502) minus the points versus the Indiana Pacers (501). Cleveland (51-31) limps into the playoffs having lost four straight games. But if you think this team can not flip the switch at a moment’s notice, then let me remind you of their April 5th “showdown” with Boston for the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs in which they destroyed the Celtics by a 114-91 score. And that game was played without rest — so that was likely a small glimpse of how this team can raise their level of play when they want to do so. Frankly, the regular season simply does not mean much to a team that can seize home court advantage again by turning up the intensity just once in the first two road games in Boston — if that series even happens. The rest will help the Cavaliers — they have covered the point spread in 24 of their last 35 games when playing their second game in five days. Cleveland has also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 10 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. And in their last 25 games in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, the Cavs have covered the point spread in 17 of these games. |

04-10-17 | Pacers v. 76ers UNDER 211.5 | Top | 120-111 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 39 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Indiana Pacers (701) and the Philadelphia 76ers (702). Indiana (40-40) shot 59.3% from the field — the best offensive effort for them this entire season — en route to their 127-112 win in Orlando on Saturday as a 4.5-point favorite. Regression on the offensive end of the court for this team is very likely. The Pacers score only 102.9 PPG when on the road on 45.3% shooting. They have played 30 of their last 45 games Under the Total after shooting at least 55% from the field. Indiana has also played 4 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 125 points in their last game. And in their last 17 games after a point spread win, the Pacers have played 12 of these games Under the Total. This team still has plenty to play for — they are one game behind the Bucks in the 6th spot in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt but only one game ahead of both the Bulls and the Heat who both own the tie-breaker against them if they do end up with the same record after Wednesday. So this Indiana team could still manage to be on the outside looking in with these playoffs. Moving forward, they have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. And in their last 8 road games against teams with a losing record at home, the Pacers have played 7 of these games Under the Total. |

04-08-17 | Heat +4 v. Wizards | Top | 106-103 | Win | 100 | 3 h 34 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing the Miami Heat (707) plus the points versus the Washington Wizards (708). Miami (38-41) fell behind by 18 points in the first-half last night in Toronto but conducted a serious comeback to tie the game in the 4th quarter but they could not hold on as they lost to the Raptors by a 96-94 score. This Heat team now finds themselves one game behind both Chicago and Indiana as these three teams fight for the last two spots in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Miami did cover the 4.5-point spread a san underdog — this is a feisty team that plays hard every night for head coach Eric Spoelstra. Expect another strong effort from this young team. They have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games after a straight-up loss. They have also covered the point spread in 11 of their last 12 games when playing without a day of rest. Furthermore, Miami has covered the point spread in 7 straight games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. Additionally, the Heat covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games on the road — and they have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. And in their last 30 trips to Washington to play the Wizards, Miami is 21-8-1 ATS. |

04-07-17 | Kings +3 v. Lakers | Top | 94-98 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 48 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing the Sacramento Kings (517) plus the points versus the Los Angeles Lakers (518). Los Angeles (23-55) has won two straight games after their surprising 102-95 win at San Antonio on Wednesday as a 13.5-point underdog. The Lakers were able to take advantage of a Spurs’ team resting most of their key players having secured the 2nd spot in the Western Conference playoffs. But with this franchise needing to finish in the bottom three of the NBA standings to maintain their protected first round draft choice that would otherwise go to the 76ers, expect this team to fully embrace going into the proverbial tank. Injuries creates the opportunity for Luke Walton to “manage” this situation. D’Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson are questionable with knee injuries while Brandon Ingram will play with limited minutes as he deals with tendinitis. As it is, the Lakers have failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a straight-up win. Los Angeles returns home where they have failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. The Lakers are also 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. And in their last 11 games against fellow Pacific Division foes, Los Angeles has failed to cover the point spread in 8 of these games. |

04-06-17 | Wolves v. Blazers -5 | Top | 98-105 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing the Portland Trail Blazers (712) minus the points versus the Minnesota Timberwolves (711). Portland (38-40) had a six-game winning streak going — but now they have dropped two straight games after their 106-87 loss in Utah as a 6-point underdog on Tuesday. Frankly, this was one of their worst games of the season. Their 39.8% shooting mark was their worst field goal percentage in their last six games but the The Trail Blazers have rebounded to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a point spread loss. This group has proven themselves to be a second-half team over the last two seasons. They began the week with the very best record in the NBA since March 1st before dropping these two games this week. This team is thin on their front court with Jusuf Nurkic out the rest of the regular season with a leg injury. But they still have Damian Lillard who scored 29.1 PPG in the month of March. Portland has also covered the point spread in 6 straight games against teams with a losing record. The Blazers return home where they have covered the point spread in 5 straight contests. Portland has also covered the point spread in 4 straight home games against teams with a losing record on the road. Additionally, the Trail Blazers have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 8 games against fellow Western Conference opponents. |

At 10:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the Dallas Mavericks (515) plus the points versus the Los Angeles Clippers (516). Los Angeles (47-31) has won three straight games with their 115-104 win over the Lakers on Saturday. Trailing the Utah Jazz by just one game for 4th place in the Western Conference playoff race, the Clippers still have much to play for before the playoffs begin next week. But I hate having to expect Doc Rivers’ team to cover the point spread as a double-digit favorite. Los Angeles has failed to cover the point spread in 11 of their last 12 games against teams with a losing record. The Clippers have also failed to cover the point spread in 6 straight home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. And not only has this LA team failed to cover the point spread in 4 straight games after a win but they have failed to cover the point spread in 6 straight games after a double-digit victory. |

At 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Brooklyn Nets (701) and the Philadelphia 76ers (702). Brooklyn (18-59) has won two straight games with their 91-82 win over Atlanta on Sunday. The Nets have then seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a straight-up win. Brooklyn has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. This Nets team is playing better basketball as of late fueled by improved play on the defensive end of the court. The have the best statistical defense in the entire league over the last two weeks while allowing their last five opponents to shoot just 41.3% from the field. But this Brooklyn team is also making only 29% of their 3-point shots over that span. Moving forward, the Nets have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. Brooklyn has also played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range. |

At 10:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing the Houston Rockets (521) plus the points versus the Golden State Warriors (522). Houston (51-24) has lost two in a row after their 117-101 loss in Portland last night despite being a small 1-point favorite. The Rockets have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 23 of their last 32 games after a point spread loss. Houston has also covered the point spread in 17 of their last 23 games after a straight-up loss. And in their last 15 games when playing without rest, the Rockets have covered the pint spread in 11 of these games. James Harden should be particularly motivated in this game after being outplayed be Steph Curry at home on Tuesday in their 113-106 loss to the Warriors. Houston has covered the point spread in 9 of their last 12 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. |

At 10:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (521) and the Golden State Warriors (522). Houston (51-24) looks to bounce-back from their 117-101 loss in Portland last night as a 1-point favorite. The Rockets have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. This is a depleted team with Ryan Anderson out with an ankle and Nene resting which more pressure on James Harden who will play but is nursing a wrist injury. As it is, the Under is 7-1-1 in Houston’s last 9 games on the road. And in their last 6 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court, the Under is 5-0-1 for the Rockets. |

At 7:05 PM on Friday, we will be playing the Denver Nuggets (501) plus the points versus the Charlotte Hornets (502). Denver (35-39) has lost two straight games after their heartbreaking 122-113 loss to Portland on Wednesday as a 2-point underdog. The Nuggets now find themselves 1 1/2 games behind the Trail Blazers (after Portland’s win last night over Houston) for the 8th and final spot in the Western Conference Playoffs — and they lost the tie-breaker having lost three of the four regular season games in that series. To compound matters, Denver will be playing six of their last eight regular season games on the road — so that makes winnable games away from the Pepsi Center essential contests to play well in. As it is, the Nuggets have covered the point spread in 13 of their last 16 games after a straight-up loss. Denver has also covered the point spread in 14 of their last 18 games after a loss to a Northwest Division rivals. Furthermore, not only have the Nuggets covered the point spread in 15 of their last 19 road games after a loss on the road but they have covered the point spread in 26 of their last 35 road games after a point spread setback. Denver has also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 ames on the road. And in their last 8 games against Eastern Conference opponents, the Nuggets have covered the point spread 6 times. |

At 7:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing the Detroit Pistons (702) minus the points versus the Brooklyn Nets (701). Detroit (34-41) is absolutely and positively desperate for a win having dropped five straight — as well as eight of their last nine games — after their 97-96 loss to Miami on Tuesday as a 3-point underdog. The Pistons had a 4-point lead in that game with 30.1 seconds left to go but let that squander before seeing their hearts break by a Hassan Whiteside buzzer-beater. Detroit now finds themselves 2 1/2 games out of the last spot in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt — but with nine games to go, there remains hope for Stan Van Gundy’s team. The team did player better defense against the Heat by holding them to just 45.6% shooting after seeing their previous three opponents convert at least 51.6% of their shots. And the Pistons have covered the point spread in 11 of their last 16 games played with one day of rest. Now comes just what the Doctor ordered in the atrocious Nets in to town. Yet Detroit will be playing with revenge after Brooklyn began their current losing streak with a buzzer beater of their own on March 21st to steal a 98-96 win. That game was in Brooklyn which began a four-game road trip for this young Pistons team that plays so much better on their home court where they have covered the point spread in 12 of their last 16 games. Detroit has also covered the point spread in 11 straight home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. Furthermore, in their last 13 home games with the Total set in the 210-219.5 point range, the Pistons have covered the point spread 12 times. |

Golden State (60-14) won their eighth straight game (all without Kevin Durant) with their 113-106 upset win at Houston as a 1.5-point underdog last night. The Warriors have then played 11 of their last 12 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Golden State has also played 5 straight games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Additionally, the Warriors have played 7 straight games Under the Total against Western Conference opponents. And in their last 4 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court, Golden State has played all 4 games Under the Total. |

At 7:35 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Phoenix Suns (767) and the Atlanta Hawks (768). Phoenix (22-52) has dropped eight straight games with their 120-106 loss in Charlotte on Sunday as a 13-point underdog. The Suns are playing out the string out of the playoff hunt and decimated with injuries. Phoenix has lost both Tyson Chandler and Brandon Knight to season-ending injuries — and now Leandro Barbosa is questionable with a hamstring injury tonight. The Suns shot 50.6% from the field in their defeat two days ago — but they look to be a prime suspect for a flat effort when considering this is their sixth straight game on the road. As it is, Phoenix has played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, the Suns have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss. And in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record, Phoenix has played 4 of these games Under the Total. |

At 9:35 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing the Minnesota Timberwolves (662) plus the points versus the San Antonio Spurs (661). Minnesota (28-41) looks to snap a three-game losing streak tonight after their 123-109 loss in New Orleans on Sunday. The Timberwolves have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a straight-up loss — and they have covered the point spread in 14 of their last 20 home games after a loss. Minnesota returns home after playing their last three on the road — and they have covered the point spread in 4 straight games on their home court. The T-Wolves have also covered the point spread in 4 straight home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. Minnesota will need to play better on the defensive end of the court after surrendering 117 points along with 123 points twice in this road trip. The T-Wolves allow their visitors to score 103.2 PPG on their home court. And while Minnesota has allowed their last three opponents to shoot at least 54.4% from the field, they have then covered the point spread in 12 of their last 15 games after allowing each of their last three opponents to shoot at least 47% from the field. This Timberwolves team has covered the point spread in 8 of their last 9 games against Western Conference opponents. Furthermore, not only has this Minnesota team covered the point spread in 17 of their last 22 games against teams with a winning record but they have also covered the point spread in 11 of their last 13 games in the second-half of the season against teams with a winning percentage over 70% in the second-half of the season. |

At 7:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing the Atlanta Hawks (603) plus the points versus the Charlotte Hornets (604). Atlanta (37-32) has lost three straight games after their 113-097 loss to Portland on Saturday as a 2-point favorite. The Hawks fell behind by 23 points in the first ten minutes of that game in a very flat performance — expect a much better start from this team that is preparing for the playoffs. Atlanta has bounced-back to cover the point spread in 19 of their last 26 games after a double-digit loss at home. The Hawks have also covered the point spread in 19 of their last 27 games on the road after suffering an upset loss. This team will be have rally together with both Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore both on the shelf with injuries. But this remains a team that has covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 road games against teams with a winning record at home. |

At 10:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the Phoenix Suns (618) minus the points versus the Sacramento Kings (617). Phoenix (22-45) has lost three of their last four games after a subpar effort on Sunday in a 110-101 loss to Portland as a small 2-point underdog. The Suns shot just 43.6% from the field which was their worst offensive effort in their last eleven games — and the 50% shooting they saw the Blazers achieve was their worst performance on the defensive end of the court in their last seven contests. But say what you want about this team — they are consistently inconsistent. Except a much better effort from this young team tonight as they are a decisive 35-16-1 ATS in their last 52 games after a point spread loss. Phoenix has also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. And in their last 8 games after scoring at least 100 points, these Suns have covered the point spread in 6 of these contests. This team does get healthier tonight with two of their big men Tyson Chandler and Alex Len upgraded to probable after missing the last two games. And in their last 7 games on their home court, Phoenix has covered the point spread in 5 of these games. |

At 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing the Cleveland Cavaliers (532) minus the points versus the Detroit Pistons (531). Cleveland (43-22) has lost four of their last five games with their 117-112 loss at Houston on Sunday as a 7-point underdog. Te Cavaiers are struggling with injuries alongside the dog days of March as they physically and mentally prepare for the playoff season. But having lost four of their last five games, this team will look to raise their level of play tonight against a fellow Central Division rival who defeated them last week by a 106-101 score as a 4.5-point underdog in Detroit. The Cavaliers have covered the point spread in 15 of their last 20 home games when avenging loss on the road against their opponent as a favorite. The Cavaliers have also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games after a point spread win. Cleveland did shoot 52.5% from the field in that game after making 50% of their shots in their previous game in Orlando — and they have then covered the point spread in 22 of their last 31 home games after shooting at least 50% from the field in two straight games. The Cavs have also covered the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. |

At 8:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing the Memphis Grizzlies (508) minus the points versus the Milwaukee Bucks (507). Memphis (36-30) is desperate for a victory having dropped five straight games with their 107-90 loss to Atlanta on Saturday as a 6.5-point favorite. Head coach David Fizzle will likely employ a fifth straight different starting lineup tonight in the attempt to shake up his team that remains in the 7th spot in the Western Conference playoff race. Expect Tony Allen to be in the starting lineup tonight to take advantage of his outstanding defensive play in the opening moments of this game. The Grizzlies have failed to cover the point spread in five straight games — but they have then covered the point spread in 34 of their last 54 games after failing to cover the point spread in at least two straight contests. Memphis has also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games against teams with a losing record. The Grizzlies will remember their 106-96 loss in Milwaukee as a 2.5-point underdog back on November 12th — and home teams looking to avenge a double-digit loss to their opponent while entering this rematch coming off an upset loss by at least 15 points as a favorite have then covered the point spread in 77 of the last 114 situations (68%) where these conditions applied. |

At 8:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing the Miami Heat (504) minus the point(s) versus the Cleveland Cavaliers (503). Cleveland (42-18) has won two of their last three games after their 135-130 win in Atlanta last night. But the Cavaliers have not been very good when playing without rest in the grind of the regular season. Not only has this Cleveland team failed to over the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games playing without rest but they have failed to cover the point spread in 7 straight road games when playing on back-to-back days. And while a trip to Miami will always mean something more for LeBron James, his Cavaliers have failed to cover the point spread in 4 straight trips to Miami. Cleveland did crush the Heat back on December 9th by a 114-84 score — but Miami has then covered the point spread in 18 of their last 25 home games when avenging a loss where their opponent scored at least 100 points. |

At 7:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing the Philadelphia 76ers (824) plus the point(s) versus the New York Knicks (823). Philadelphia (22-38) suffered their worst loss of the season on Wednesday in a 125-98 loss at Miami that equaled their 27 point loss to the Raptors back in November. With the announcement that same day that Joel Embiid would join Ben Simmons in missing the rest of the season, some might conclude that this team has thrown in the towel for the year. But this team has been playing hard all season for head coach Brett Brown — and this team typically responds with strong efforts after a disappointing performance. Not only have the 76ers bounced-back to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a straight-up loss but they have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 8 games after a point spread setback. Additionally, Philadelphia has covered the point spread in 8 of their last 9 home games after a loss by at least 15 points. Now this team returns home where they have covered the point spread in 22 of their 30 games this season — and that includes seven straight games against teams with a losing record on the road. The 76ers have also covered the point spread in 12 of their last 16 home games as an underdog of 6 points or less. And in their last 6 games against fellow Atlantic Division opponents, Philly has covered the point spread all 6 times. |

At 10:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing the Portland Trail Blazers (706) plus (or minus) the point(s) versus the Oklahoma City Thunder (705). Oklahoma City (35-25) has won four straight games after their upset 109-106 win over Utah as a 2.5-point underdog on Tuesday. But the Thunder have then failed to cover the point spread in 16 of their last 21 games after winning four or five of their last six games. Letdown concerns for this team increase with the news that guard Victor Oladipo — the second best scoring option for this team after Russell Westbrook — is questionable for this contest with a back injury. Now this team goes on the road where they are just 12-17 with an average losing margin of -6.0 PPG while allowing their opponents to shoot 46.7% from the field. The Thunder have failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 7 road games against teams with a winning record on their home court. OKC has also failed to cover the point spread in 18 of their last 23 road games in expected high-scoring games where the Total was set at 220 or higher. |

Washington (34-23) has lost both their games after the All-Star Break with their 102-92 loss to to Utah on their home court on Sunday. The Wizards closed out the first-half of the regular season on a red hot 18-3 run so this team will be anxious to get back to their winning ways against an elite opponent. Not only has Washington covered the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games after a straight-up loss but they have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games after a double-digit loss on their home court. Additionally, the Wizards have been very tough at home where they have covered the point spread in 16 of their last 21 games.

San Antonio (43-13) returns from the All-Star Break having won four of their last five games with their 107-79 blowout win at Orlando last Wednesday. The Spurs look to get Pao Gasol back for this contest as he is listed as probable after dealing with a hand injury. San Antonio has covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games when playing without a day of rest. The Spurs have also covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. This San Antonio team will be highly motivated for this game on national television having lost both their meetings with the Clippers this season. Their last encounter was back on December 22nd where Los Angeles pulled the upset as a 2-point underdog by a 106-101 score. The Spurs have covered the point spread in 26 of their last 38 games when avenging a same-season upset loss to their opponents. Furthermore, road favorites in the 3.5-9.5-point range playing with double revenge against an opponent that comes off a game where both teams scored at least 100 points have then covered the point spread in 66 of the last 96 situations (69%) where these conditions applied. |

Charlotte (24-31) has lost three straight games — as well as ten of their last eleven — after their 105-99 loss to Philadelphia on Monday as an 8-point favorite. The Hornets are then 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games after a straight-up loss — and they have are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 games after a point spread setback. Defense has been an issue for this team as they have allowed at least 105 points in twelve straight contests. Charlotte has then failed to cover the point spread in 13 of their last 17 games after allowing at least 105 points in two straight games — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 11 of their last 13 games after allowing at least 105 points in three straight games. This team will be undermanned tonight with both Cody Zeller and Miles Plumlee nursing injuries — and being without both big men will not help their efforts on defense. The Hornets are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games on the road. Charlotte has also failed to cover the point spread in 5 straight games against Eastern Conference opponents. And in their last 19 expected high-scoring games with the Total set at least 210, the Hornets have failed to cover the point spread 16 times. |

San Antonio (41-13) saw their two-game winning streak snapped yesterday in their 94-90 loss at New York against the Knicks. The Spurs allowed the Knicks to shoot 50% from the field which was their worst defensive effort in their last eight games. Expect a better defensive performance tonight. San Antonio has played 4 straight games Under the Total when playing without a day of rest. And while the Spurs have failed to cover the point spread in three of their last four games, they have then played 28 of their last 43 games Under the Total after only covering the point spread once in their last four games. Additionally, San Antonio has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record.

At 10:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing the Utah Jazz (516) minus the points versus the Boston Celtics (515). Boston (34-19) has won eight of their last nine games with their 120-111 win at Portland on Thursday as a 3-point underdog. We had the Celtics in that game — and that victory sets up a strong “play-against” situation against them now. Boston has then failed to cover the point spread in 5 straight games after a straight-up win. The Celtics have also failed to cover the point spread in 5 straight games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Furthermore, Boston has failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Furthermore, the Celtics have failed to cover the point spread in 20 of their last 27 road games after scoring at least 120 points in their last game. They look to be without Jae Crowder tonight for personal reasons which leaves Brad Stevens’ team further undermanned after being without Avery Bradley for the last few weeks. |

Indiana (29-23) saw their seven-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday with their 132-117 loss to Cleveland. The Pacers watched the Cavs shoot 54.8% from the field which was their worst defensive effort in their last thirteen contests. Expect a much better effort on the defensive end of the court for Indiana. Indiana is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game — and they have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 13 games after surrendering at least 125 points in their last contest.

Despite that previous winning streak, the Celtics have still failed to cover the point spread in five straight games. Boston has then covered the point spread in 27 of their last 41 games after failing to cover the point spread in four or five of their last six games. The Celtics are an impressive 42-17-1 ATS in their last 60 games when playing without a day of rest. Brad Stevens’ team has been strong road warriors.

The Timberwolves allowed the Cavaliers to shoot 53.9% from the field which was their worst defensive effort in their last thirteen contests. Expect Tom Thibodeau to have had the full attention of his young team in practice in preparation for their defensive efforts and assignments for this contest. As it is, Minnesota has covered the point spread in 5 straight games after a straight-up loss. The Timberwolves have also covered the point spread in 19 of their last 26 road games after a loss on their home court. And in their last 6 trips to Detroit, the T-Wolves have covered the point spread 5 times. Despite that success, their second-year big man Karl-Anthony Towns has lost all three of his professional encounters with the Pistons’ Andre Drummond — and that should have him extra-motivated to play well tonight. |

02-01-17 | Bulls v. Thunder -3.5 | Top | 128-100 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 52 m | Show |
At 9:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the Oklahoma City Thunder (522) minus the points versus the Chicago Bulls (521). Oklahoma City (28-21) has lost two games in a row with their 108-94 loss at San Antonio last night as a 9-point underdog. There is no question that this team is missing Enes Kanter down low with the big man out with a broken arm — and that helped contribute to our fading the Thunder in their last two games. But now it is a great time to take OKC as they have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games after a straight-up loss. They have also covered the point spread in 11 of their last 15 games after a double-digit setback. This team returns home where they are 16-6 with an average winning percentage of +8.0 PPG. The Thunder have covered the point spread in 5 straight home games — and they have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 8 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. OKC should better back at home after not hitting more than 37% of their shots in their last two contests with both being in hostile environments. Back on their home court, the Thunder shoot 47.4% from the field. |

01-31-17 | Thunder v. Spurs -9 | Top | 94-108 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
At 8:35 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing the San Antonio Spurs (708) minus the points versus the Oklahoma City Thunder (707). San Antonio (36-11) has lost two straight games with their 105-101 loss to Dallas on Sunday as a 11.5-point favorite. The Spurs have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a point spread loss. San Antonio has also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games when playing with one day of rest. The Spurs will be focused on producing a better effort on the defensive end of the court after their loss to the Mavericks — and they should be very focused on slowing down Russell Westbrook and the Thunder tonight. This will be the first meeting between these two teams since the Western Conference Semifinals last May when Oklahoma City won two games in San Antonio before closing out that series at home on May 12th with a 113-99 victory. This rematch will be in Alamo City where the Spurs have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 13 games. San Antonio has also covered the point spread in 8 of their last 11 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. |

01-30-17 | Grizzlies v. Suns +4 | Top | 115-96 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing the Phoenix Suns (510) plus the points versus the Memphis Grizzlies (509). Phoenix (15-32) has lost three games in a row with their 123-112 loss to Denver on Saturday as a 3.5-point favorite. The Suns have been remarkably consistent when bouncing back from setbacks. Phoenix is 48-21-3 ATS in their last 72 games after a double-digit loss which includes covering the point spread in twelve of their last fifteen games after a double-digit loss at home. The Suns are also 21-6-1 ATS in their last 28 games after a point spread setback. And while Phoenix was whistled for 36 fouls against the Nuggets, they have then covered the point spread in 8 straight games on their home court after a game where they were whistled for at least 30 personal fouls. Moving forward, the Suns have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games at home. And in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record, Phoenix has covered the point spread 4 times. |

01-28-17 | Clippers v. Warriors UNDER 221.5 | Top | 98-144 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 42 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Clippers (507) and the Golden State Warriors (508). Los Angeles (30-17) has lost three of their last four games with their 121-110 loss at Philadelphia on Tuesday as a 4.5-point favorite. The Clippers have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. Los Angeles has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. The Clippers have also played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Moving forward, Los Angeles has played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. Without the injured Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, this team is limited on offense. But expect head coach Doc Rivers to demand a better effort on defense tonight after seeing the 76ers shoot 50% from the field on Tuesday. |
|||||||
01-27-17 | Spurs v. Pelicans +6 | Top | 103-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing the New Orleans Pelicans (868) plus the points versus the San Antonio Spurs (867). New Orleans (18-28) has lost four of their last six games after a 114-105 loss to Oklahoma City on Wednesday as a 1.5-point underdog. The Pelicans have then bounced-back to cover the point spread in 4 straight games after a straight-up loss — and they have covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a point spread setback. Anthony Davis has been slowed down with a quad injury — but he is listed as probable for tonight’s game. Remember that this Pelicans team without Davis defeated the Cavaliers earlier this week. New Orleans has covered the point spread in 23 of their last 31 home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. And in their last 44 home games as an underdog, the Pelicans have covered the point spread in 29 of these contests. |
|||||||
01-26-17 | Lakers v. Jazz UNDER 202 | Top | 88-96 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
At 10:35 on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Lakers (707) and the Utah Jazz (708). Los Angeles (16-33) has lost seven of their last eight games with their 105-98 loss in Portland last night as an 8-point underdog. The Lakers have then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. Los Angeles has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Furthermore, the Lakers have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Over their last two contests, the absence of D’Angelo Russell is impacting this team on the offensive end of the court as they are shooting only 38.9% from the field and a mere 28% from behind the arc. Additionally, in the last 14 games in the second-half of the season against teams with a winning percentage in the 60-70% range, the Lakers have played 12 of these games Under the Total. |

01-25-17 | Kings v. Cavs -11.5 | Top | 116-112 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 12 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the Cleveland Cavaliers (502) minus the points versus the Sacramento Kings (501). It might be the dog days of January prior to the All-Star Break — but Cleveland (30-13) should be on fire tonight after their embarrassing 124-122 loss at New Orleans last night. The Cavaliers lost to the Pelicans despite Anthony Davis being on the shelf for that game. The effort compelled LeBron James to go to his proverbial whip to call out his teammates. It started on the defensive end of the court as a Davis-free New Orleans team scored a whopping 70 points in the first half in that contest. Cleveland has then covered the point spread in 17 of their last 23 games after allowing at least 55 points in the first half of their last game. The Cavaliers have also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 10 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. Cleveland defeated this Sacramento team in their building by a 120-108 score back on January 13th — and the Kings have failed to cover the point spread in 13 of their last 17 road games when looking to avenge a home loss to their opponent. |

01-24-17 | Bulls v. Magic +3 | Top | 100-92 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 21 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing the Orlando Magic (704) plus the points versus the Chicago Bulls (703). Orlando (18-28) has lost four of their last five games with their 118-98 loss to Golden State. The Magic made on 7 of their 16 free throws (43.8%) in that game against the Warriors — but they have then covered the point spread in 9 of their last 10 games after failing to shoot at least 60% from the free throw line in their last game. The Magic find themselves the underdog for the fifteenth straight game tonight — but they have covered the point spread in 24 of their last 37 games after playing at least three straight games as an underdog. Orlando has also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 8 meetings with the Bulls — and they have covered the point spread in 5 straight games at home against Chicago. |

01-23-17 | Thunder +5.5 v. Jazz | Top | 97-95 | Win | 100 | 6 h 37 m | Show |
At 9:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing the Oklahoma City Thunder (517) plus the points versus the Utah Jazz (518). Oklahoma City (25-19) has lost two straight games — as well as three of their last four games — with their 121-100 loss at Golden State as a 14.5-point underdog. The Thunder have rebounded to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a straight-up loss — and they have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after a point spread setback. Additionally, OKC has covered the point spread in 10 of their last 13 games after a double-digit loss. The Thunder have also covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games after allowing at least points in their last game. The team may still be without Steven Adams who is listed as questionable recovering from a concussion. But OKC is listed as probable coming back from a wrist injury. The Thunder have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 9 games after dropping three of their last four games. And in their last 14 road games after dropping two straight on the road, Oklahoma City has covered the point spread 12 times. |

01-22-17 | Lakers v. Mavs UNDER 206 | Top | 73-122 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show |
At 3:30 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Lakers (833) and the Dallas Mavericks (834). Los Angeles (16-31) has lost five straight games after their 108-96 win over Indiana on Friday as a 3.5-point underdog. The Lakers have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a points spread victory. Additionally, Los Angeles has played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total against teams with a losing record. Now the Lakers go back on the road where they have played 5 of their last 6 road games against teams with a losing record at home. |

At 8:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing the Houston Rockets (513) minus the points versus the Memphis Grizzlies (514). Houston (33-13) looks to rebound from their 125-108 loss to Golden State last night as a 5.5-point underdog. The Rockets have rebounded to cover the point spread in 20 of their last 26 games after a straight-up loss — and they have covered the point spread in 19 of their last 26 games after a point spread setback. Additionally, Houston has covered the point spread in 9 of their last 12 games when playing without a day of rest. Now the Rockets go back on the road where they have covered the point spread in 17 of their last 23 games — and they have covered the point spread in five of their last six road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. |

01-20-17 | Warriors -5 v. Rockets | Top | 125-108 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing the Golden State Warriors (863) minus the points versus the Houston Rockets (864). Golden State (36-6) is embracing their inner Michael Corleone to start 2017 with them following up a revenging 126-91 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers by ripping Kevin Durant’s old teammates in the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday in their 121-100 victory. Look for the Warriors to continue their purge as they have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a double-digit victory. Golden State has also covered the point spread in 19 of their last 24 games after two straight double-digit wins at home. Now this team looks to avenge a 132-127 loss to Houston as an 11.5-point favorite back on December 1st. The Warriors have covered the point spread in 28 of their last 41 games when avenging a loss where their opponent scored at least 100 points. |

01-18-17 | Bucks v. Rockets -6.5 | Top | 92-111 | Win | 100 | 5 h 18 m | Show |
At 8:00 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the Houston Rockets (514) minus the points versus the Milwaukee Bucks (513). Houston (32-12) has lost three of their last four games after their 109-103 upset loss at Miami as a 7-point favorite last night. The 40.0% shooting percentage that the Rockets’ endured was their worst offensive effort in their last fifteen games. Expect a much better effort on national television tonight. Houston has rebounded to cover the point spread in 10 of their last 11 games after a straight-up loss. The Rockets have also covered the point spread in 19 of their last 26 games after a point spread loss. And in their last 11 games playing without a day of rest, Houston has covered the point spread in 8 of these contests. |

01-16-17 | Cavs v. Warriors -7.5 | Top | 91-126 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing the Golden State Warriors (514) minus the points versus the Cleveland Cavaliers (513). Golden State (34-6) has won three games in a row with their 127-107 win over Detroit on Thursday. The Warriors are then 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring at least 125 points in their last game. Now this team looks to avenge a 109-108 loss to the Cavaliers on Christmas Day which, of course, comes after their loss to LeBron James and company in last June’s NBA Finals. A rematch in the Oracle Center should make a big difference. Golden State is 38-16-2 ATS in their last 56 home games against teams with a winning record on the road — and that number tightens to a 17-5-1 ATS mark when that road team has a winning percentage away from home of 60% or better. |

01-11-17 | Knicks -1.5 v. 76ers | Top | 97-98 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 20 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the New York Knicks (701) plus the points versus the Philadelphia 76ers (702). New York (17-21) has lost eight of their last nine games with their 110-96 loss to New Orleans on Monday. The Knicks have then covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after a double-digit loss — and they have covered the point spread in 4 straight games after a double-digit loss at home. The team will benefit from the return of Derrick Rose to the court — he is listed as probable after missing that game with the Pelicans before mysterious “personal” reasons. Furthermore, New York has covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 road games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% at home. |

Oklahoma City (17-12) has won two of their last three games with their 121-110 win at New Orleans on Wednesday as a 1.5-point favorite. The Thunder have then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a point spread win. OKC will be playing this game once again without Victor Olidapo who is out indefinitely with a wrist injury. The Thunder stay on the road where they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total on the road. OKC has also played 4 straight road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home. |

At 8:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (515) and the Houston Rockets (516). San Antonio (22-5) has won four straight games with their 113-100 win over New Orleans on Sunday. The Spurs now go on the road where they have played 5 straight games Under the Total — and they have played 17 of their last 25 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home. Additionally, not only has San Antonio has played 26 of their last 39 road games as the favorite of 6 points or less, they have played eleven of their last thirteen road games when favored by 3 points or less.

And while the Rockets score 113.1 PPG, San Antonio has played 27 of their last 41 games Under the Total against teams that score at least 103 PPG. |

12-16-16 | Bucks v. Bulls UNDER 203.5 | Top | 95-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Bucks (509) and the Chicago Bulls (510). Milwaukee (12-12) looks to pull the sweep over the Bulls tonight in their home-and-home series after they defeated them by a 108-97 score last night in a pick ‘em game. The Bucks have then played 23 of their last 31 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Milwaukee has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total when playing without a day of rest. This team will likely be without Michael Beasley again tonight who is dealing with a foot injury. Backup Mirza Teletovic stepped up in his absence last night by scoring 13 points on 50% shooting which included three 3-pointers. Do not hold your breath for a repeat performance on the road. The Bucks have played 13 of their last 19 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home. Additionally, Milwaukee has played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total against Central Division opponents. |

At 8:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing the Houston Rockets (514) minus the points versus the Sacramento Kings (513). Houston (18-7) has won seven straight games with their 122-118 win over Brooklyn on Monday as a 13.5-point favorite.

Houston has also covered the point spread in 19 of their last 26 games after both scoring at least 100 points in their last game as well as surrendering at least 100 points in their last game. This Rockets team is seeing much better play on defense this month as their Defensive Rating of 99.4 is 5th best this month. Moving forward, Houston has covered the point spread in 7 of their last 8 games against teams with a losing record. The Rockets have also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. |
