5* Wiseguy NBA on TNT *PRIMETIME PUNISHER* on Nets +3 Bottom Line: The Clippers won't have much left in the tank following last night's hard-fought win in Boston. This will be their 6th road game in 9 days. Brooklyn has shown signs of life with back-to-back wins, and it will be the fresher side as this will be just its 3rd game in 6 days. The Clippers are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings overall and 1-12 ATS in the last 13 road meetings in the series. The Nets are 5-0 SU and ATS in their last 5 home meetings in the series. They are also 13-1 the last 14 times they have hosted the Clippers. Pound the Nets.

The Clippers have defeated Boston by more than 6 points just 1 time in the last 11 meetings. I'll grab the points in what should be a close game as Boston draws added motivation from a visit from its former coach.

Playing all teams when the line is +3 to -3 that are off a home loss has resulted in a 63-28 ATS record since 1996 if they are playing for the 3rd time or less in 10 days.

Teams fitting this scenario have been underdogs of 6.0 points on average but have lost by just 2.7. Atlanta has won 3 straight at home with 2 of the wins coming against good Dallas and LA Clippers teams. The Thunder are just 3-3 in their last 6 on the road with 1 of the wins coming by just 2 points over a poor Sacramento team. The Hawks have won 2 of their last 3 against OKC. Pound Atlanta.

The Bucks went to OT last night so they will really be feeling the effects of fatigue. The Bucks are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes the previous day. Brooklyn has been brutally embarrassed in its last two games, but I believe it responds here.

Playing any team that has lost 12 or more of its last 15 games ATS, provided that team has is playing 6 or more games in a 10-day span, has resulted in a 90-50 ATS record since 1996.

Playing against road underdogs or pickems after a combined score of 175 points or more with four starters returning from last year in the first 10 games of the season has resulted in a 70-39 ATS record since 1997.

The Wolves have dropped 5 of 7 on the road but have been extremely competitive in these games with 4 losses of 4 or fewer points.

4* Major NBA *BEST BET* on Bulls +7 Bottom Line: This line is an overreaction to Rose's injury. The Bulls played the Clippers to a 5-point game without Rose in the most recent meeting and certainly have what it takes to keep this one within the number. Chicago, one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, should have success slowing down a Clippers squad that is playing the second game of a back-to-back and 4th game in 5 days. This Chicago team knows how to elevate its play without Rose because it has had to do it a bunch. The Bulls are 17-7 ATS in road games after 1 or more consecutive losses over the last 2 seasons. Additionally, playing against home teams in November that are off a win but didn't cover the spread in the game has resulted in a 25-9 ATS record the 3 seasons.

The Golden Hurricane are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games. The Shockers own an even first-half scoring margin of 96-96 while shooting 40.0 percent from the field. Another slow start tonight could get them beat as they hit the road for the first time. The Golden Hurricane have been very stingy defensively in the first half, holding opponents to 36.8 percent shooting, and I expect an inspired effort here as they look to snap a 5-game losing streak in the series. Wichita State has been able to pull away in the second half of its games, but I don't see that happening tonight against a motivated Tulsa squad.

4* Major NBA *BEST BET* on Bobcats +12 Bottom Line: Playing against home favorites of 10 or more points - good defensive team allowing <=91 points/game on the season, after scoring 60 points or more in the first half last game - has resulted in a 35-12 ATS record since 1996. Teams in this scenario have been favored by an average of 12.4 points but have won by only 7.8 points on average. This system is 6-1 ATS the last 5 seasons. Additionally, playing against home favorites of 10 or more points after 3 or more consecutive wins, with a winning record on the season, has resulted in a 118-69 ATS record the last 5 seasons.

Now this inexperienced Miami squad takes the road for the first time. The Cougars are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 versus ACC schools.

Brooklyn has gotten up for the good teams but played flat against lesser competition. However, with 3 straight losses and no road wins you better believe the Nets will be out to send a message here. They won both meetings against Phoenix last season. Plus, playing against any team off a cover in a game they lost straight up that is going against an opponent that's off an upset loss of 10 points or more on the road has resulted on a 44-15 ATS record since 1996.

Teams fitting this scenario have won by 19.0 points on average. Wyoming lost its top 3 scorers from last year's team while Colorado brings back 4 of its top 5 scorers, including its top 2.

We saw the way Brooklyn got up for the Heat, and it will be jacked up for this game as well as it looks to hand Indiana its first loss of the season. The Nets have been a thorn in the side of the Pacers lately. They are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings with victories of 16, 11, 5 and 8 points in the last 4.

I love the Quakers chances of keeping this one even tighter as they return their entire team. That includes 3 players who averaged double figures and 3 more that averaged 5 or more. Temple brings back just 1 starter, and will miss the scoring and playmaking ability of Khalif Wyatt dearly. The Owls are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 versus Ivy League opponents and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings against Penn.

Playing against underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points in the first 10 games of the season if they return 1 or no starters and made 42% or less of their shot attempts last season has resulted in a 43-16 ATS record since 1997.

LA is also 0-10 ATS after successfully covering the number in 2 or more consecutive games under D'Antoni. Dallas is 19-5 ATS as a home favorite of 6.5 to 12 points over the last 3 seasons, winning these games by 13.5 points on average. Pound the Mavs.

5* Wiseguy NBA *BEST BET* on Cavs -2 Bottom Line: This is a letdown spot for 3-0 Minnesota following yesterday's upset win in New York. This is a highly motivated spot for the Cavs, who have lost their last two. They also lost both of last season's meetings with Minnesota so we can be assured that they will be lacking no incentive. Cleveland is 10-4 in its last 14 against the T-Wolves. Additionally, Minnesota is 7-18 ATS following an upset victory under coach Adelman, losing by an average of 5.3 points in this spot.

4* Major NBA *BEST BET* on Knicks -3.5 Bottom Line: This is a good spot to back the Knicks. Not only are they motivated by a 1-point loss at Chicago last time out, but they have had 2 days to rest up and prepare for this contest. For the first time this season Minnesota is on the road where it went just 11-30 a season ago. The Knicks were an impressive 31-10 at home last season. The Knicks are 4-0 in their last 4 against Minnesota, winning these by 4.5 points on average. They are 3-0 in their last 3 home games against the T-wolves, winning these by 12.3 points on average. New York is an impressive 18-2 ATS in home games after playing a game as an underdog under coach Woodson. It has won by an average of 11.6 points in this spot.

4* Major NBA *CRUNCH TIME BAILOUT* on Blazers +1.5 Bottom Line: Portland has given San Antonio fits. The Blazers are 12-5 against the Spurs in the regular season since 2008. They are 8-1 in their last 9 home games against the Spurs with a 10.5-point average margin of victory. Tough spot for this aging Spurs team playing back-to-back, possibly without Tim Duncan, after making the long trip up from L.A. last night.

4* Major Western Conference *PUNISHER* on Jazz +6 Bottom Line: Utah will want this game just a little bit more. The Jazz are 0-2 and want to break into the win column before leaving for a 4-game road trip out east. It will have an excellent opportunity to do just that at home where it has won 30 of its last 42. Houston has a poor road team last season (16-25), and the Jazz have won or lost by 2 points or fewer in 10 of their last 12 home games against the Rockets. Utah is also on a 27-14 ATS run in home games after playing a road game, winning these contests by 5.9 points on average.

Charlotte is also on a 13-31 ATS skid in the second game of a back-to-back, losing in this spot by 13.5 points on average. New Orleans was embarrassed in Orlando last night but is 24-6 ATS in its last 30 games following a loss of more than 10 points. The Bobcats are 4-14 ATS in the last 18 meetings, including 1-8 ATS in the last 9 meetings in New Orleans.

4* Major Eastern Conference *BEST BET* on Bulls -8.5 Bottom Line: The Bulls have had a day of rest while the 76ers will be playing a second game in as many nights. Philly has not performed well in back-to-backs as it is 8-25 ATS in its last 33 games when playing without rest. The Bulls have failed to cover in their first two games, but now's the time to back them as they are 32-16 ATS after failing to cover the spread in 2 or more consecutive games under coach Thibodeau.

4* Major *POWER PLAY* on T-Wolves -2 Bottom Line: Not having Russell Westbrook in the lineup is a big deal as it makes the Thunder more of a one-on-one team. They had just 9 assists versus Utah, which is a bad sign considering they are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games after a game with 15 or less assists. They have lost by 2.9 points on average in this spot. The Thunder are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall going back to last season. They are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Minnesota, and the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings. OKC has lost its last 2 at the Target Center by 6 and 8 points.

4* Major NBA Vegas Line Mistake on Bobcats +3 Bottom Line: I feel oddsmakers are making a mistake by giving the Bobcats points at home. Charlotte was favored in both home meetings last season and lost one of those by just 2 points and won the other by 7 points. Plus, this looks to be a flat spot for Cleveland following a big win over the Nets with a big game at Indiana tomorrow. The Cavaliers are 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a game in which they covered the spread.

5* Wiseguy NBA Friday Night Blowout on Wizards -9.5 Bottom Line: This is a huge letdown spot for Philly, which is coming off an upset win against the defending champs and hosts Chicago tomorrow.

I expect the Pelicans to be greatly improved with the addition of Philadelphia All-Star Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans, and with a healthy Eric Gordon. I also believe we'll see big-time improvement from Anthony Davis in year No. 2. Pound the Pelicans.
