01-11-22 | Wolves -3.5 v. Pelicans | 125-128 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Minnesota is very underrated and they are laying a small number here on the road in a game they should win comfortably. They are hot right now and have won four straight heading into this game, while the Pelicans have lost four of five. Minnesota is 5-0-1 in their last six road games, and they are being underestimated by the oddsmakers once again. Not to mention they have covered in their last four meetings in New Orleans. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Pistons v. Bulls -13 | 87-133 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
The Pistons pulled off one of their biggest wins of the season last night vs. Utah and now this is a major letdown spot for a team that is competitive at times as a big dog but also has the ability to lose big. We think the later will be the case tonight, and that bodes well for the favorite and the under here. After a big game the Pistons normally have a letdown. In their last nine games after scoring 125 or more, they are 1-8 ATS. The Pistons have not covered in nine straight meetings and the under is 6-0 in the last six meetings. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Thunder +9 v. Wizards | Top | 118-122 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
The Thunder are one of the best ATS teams in the NBA and they are decently healthy and they had the night off Monday. No reason they should be getting this many points at Washington, a lousy ATS team that hasn’t been favored by this many points against anyone this season. When they have been a favorite of three or more points, they are 5-10 ATS. OKC has covered in four of their last five games, while the Wizards have failed to cover in three straight. OKC has the rare game where they get blown out of the water, but this is a winnable game for them and we think they put their best foot forward tonight. |
|||||||
01-10-22 | Cavs v. Kings UNDER 220.5 | 109-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
This total looks quite a bit high for two teams that scored in the 80s in their last game. The Cavs are coming in on a back-to-back, which should affect their offensive capabilities, and they are already one of the worst offensive teams in the league and breaking in a new PG. The Kings, also on a B2B, managed only 88 last night against Portland, a squad that is nowhere near Cleveland in the top defensive rankings. This totals line should have been higher than most Cleveland totals, but the oddsmakers made this one too high as we had this number handicapped close to 215. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Heat v. Suns -8.5 | 123-100 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
The Suns have just been destroying teams lately. All season in fact. They should be getting some key players back here today, while key guys for Miami should still be sidelined. Phoenix has shown they have great chemistry to matter who they put out on the court. And that they are such a strong ATS team despite their pedigree and shaded lines constantly is a testament to how good this team is. We see another double digit win here. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Jazz v. Pacers +2.5 | 113-125 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Indiana has lost six straight, but they have been competitive recently. We think this is a great chance for them to notch one in the win column. Utah is all banged up right now and this is a shell of the team that has done so well this season. They enter here on a B2B and playing their third game in four nights. They had a big lead on Toronto yesterday but just fell apart in the second half, and we see that continuing here and the wrong team is favored. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Magic v. Pistons -2 | 92-97 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Two bad teams here but we think the Pistons are the better team. They have been more competitive overall, and the Magic come into this one very banged up. Detroit has covered in six of the last eight meetings, and we see them pulling away for a comfortable win in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Cavs v. Blazers +6 | 114-101 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
This is more of a bet against the Cavs than for the Blazers. Cleveland has been a team we have used a lot for picks this season with great results. They have been the top ATS team for most of the season. However, they have really struggled since Rubio went out for the season with injury. This team has covered just one of their last seven games. Portland is missing their two best players here, and they haven’t been good ATS either, but they are getting too many points at home for what looks like a very winnable game for them. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Hawks v. Lakers -2.5 | 118-134 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
The Lakers are relatively healthy compared to the Hawks, who have a very long injury list. The biggest stars for both teams are on the list tonight, but LeBron has a good chance to play. The Lakers have won and covered in four of five games and they are playing well right now. We normally rarely take the Lakers as they don’t often have betting value. But their current form, combined with this small number, make them a play tonight. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Kings +8.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 111-121 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
The Kings are definitely the more healthy team right now. This team has been back and forth and you kind of never know what you are going to get with them on a nightly basis. But they are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between these teams, and we think they match up well tonight, especially against this inflated number. This is a winnable game for them. The Nuggets are coming off two consecutive losses, so they aren’t in top form. They also are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Wolves v. Thunder +6 | 135-105 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
We like to take the losing team when teams play consecutive games like this. OKC lost by eight in Minnesota on Wednesday. They got off to a real slow start in that game, being outscored 30-10 in the first quarter. But they outplayed the Wolves from there on out. And now they are the home team in this revenge spot and also one of the better ATS teams in the NBA at 24-13 ATS. They are 12-5 ATS at home, so they rarely fail to cover here. They are also 6-0 ATS in their last six as a home dog. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Jazz v. Raptors -11 | 108-122 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
Toronto has played as well as any team in the NBA recently. They have won four straight, all against playoff contenders, and they have covered five in a row. They have covered in nine of ten overall. Utah is absolutely decimated because of Covid right now and all their star players are out for this game. Toronto is barely above .500 on the season so they are not going to go into this one expecting an easy win and they should put their best foot forward, which they have been doing for every game recently. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Clippers +11 v. Suns | 89-106 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
The Clippers are getting more heathy while the Suns are going through Covid issues right now. We expect the road team to stay within double digits here. The Clippers recently beat the Nets on the road as huge underdogs, and that game wasn’t a fluke. But the Clippers haven’t been able to stay consistent. But they have had two nights off entering this game, so they are well rested. LA normally plays very well against Phoenix and they are 18-8 ATS in the last 26 meetings, including a blowout win last month in LA. We see the Clippers playing hard tonight and keeping this one close. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Pistons v. Grizzlies UNDER 218 | 88-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
The Pistons are a young but proud team. They have a history of playing well after a loss. And they had a very embarrassing loss last night. They have lost a bunch of games badly this season. This team is young in its rebuild, so that is going to happen. They don’t always give up 140 like they did last night at Charlotte, and we think they will really focus on tightening up the defense tonight, even if they have to slow the game down some. Memphis has gone under in four straight and they have been playing solid defense. We don’t see Detroit putting up a big number, and if they hang around in this game it will be on the strength of their defense. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Celtics v. Knicks UNDER 207.5 | 105-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Boston is coming in on a back-to-back after scoring only 97 in a home loss to San Antonio, and they will be taking a step up in defensive class tonight at New York. The Knicks have been playing excellent defense lately and they have held five of their last six opponents under the century mark. We feel there’s a good chance they do it again with Boston on a B2B. The under is 5-1 in the Knicks last six games. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Raptors v. Bucks -7.5 | Top | 117-111 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
We like to back a good team after a bad/embarrassing loss, and that is the case here for the Bucks on Wednesday as they suffered an embarrassing home defeat last time out to the Pistons (they were 17-point favorites; we had the Pistons plus the points). That snapped a six-game winning streak. We think the Bucks are in a good spot to bounce back here. Toronto has been playing well but are coming in on a back-to-back. They have done well in these situations, but they become harder as the season wears on. This is also their third game in four nights, while the Bucks are well rested as they have had a much lighter schedule. But Milwaukee should be ultra motivated tonight. A big win here puts that Detroit loss well in the rearview mirror and can be chalked up as a bad night. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Suns v. Pelicans +7.5 | 123-110 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
New Orleans has been playing some of the best basketball they have played this season and they have won five of their last eight SU. They fell back to earth a little bit, losing three of their last four. But we feel this is a good spot for them as a home underdog. The Suns have lost three of their last five and they have covered in only three of six. This team is facing Covid issues, while the Pelicans are relatively healthy. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Spurs +7 v. Raptors | 104-129 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
The Spurs were playing some of their best basketball of the season but then they had one of their games postponed, had a long layoff, and were rusty and lost their momentum. We think this is a good bounce back spot and winnable game after three straight losses. This team has one of the best coaches in the game and can get the team back on track quickly, and they have been one of the best ATS teams this season, and this line looks a couple points too high. Also we will take a crack at the under as we expected this total under 220 as the Raptors have one of the better defenses in the NBA. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Spurs v. Raptors UNDER 225 | 104-129 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |

We think this is a good bounce back spot and winnable game after three straight losses.

|||||||
01-03-22 | Pistons +16.5 v. Bucks | 115-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Detroit is 7-4 ATS when catching double digit points. We always want to see if there is a chance for the underdog when catching this many points. The Pistons played well last time out in an OT upset win over the Spurs. Detroit has covered five of their last six on the road against quality opponents. Detroit is a team that plays hard despite a lack of talent. We see them possibly keeping this one around double digits. |
|||||||
12-29-21 | Mavs v. Kings OVER 219.5 | 94-95 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
Dallas has been one of the best under teams all season, but the lines have dropped and they have picked up the pace, and the over has now hit in four of five for them. They face a bad defense tonight, and they should put up a nice share of points to get this one over the number. Dallas scored 116 and 132 in their last two games. Sacramento has one of the worst defenses in the league. Yet they have a Top 10 offense. We think both teams get their points tonight in what looks like a close game. |
|||||||
12-28-21 | Cavs -4.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 104-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
Cleveland is by far the best ATS team in the NBA, and they still hold value in the odds as the public bettors are not big on this team with the absence of any big stars. But this team plays great fundamental basketball and strong defense, and they are absolutely a playoff team and one that could put a scare into one of the contenders. They are on a different level then the Pels, and we see another comfortable win SU and ATS here as the odds are in our favor again. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Nets v. Clippers +4 | 124-108 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Paul George is out for a while, but we think this Clippers team will be a good Buy Low option in the coming weeks. This team has playoff talent without Kawhi and George, and their role players will need to step up in the absence of their stars. We think these guys will elevate their games, and we see this as a coin flip game tonight, so getting this many points with the home dog provides solid value. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Jazz v. Spurs +7.5 | 110-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
The Jazz are on an 0-5 ATS slide and the oddsmakers have them overvalued at the moment compared to their play on the court. They have been winning but not blowing teams out, and their best player should be sidelined tonight. The Spurs have been extremely impressive recently, and they have one of the best coaches in the league who can keep this team motivated instead of being Fat and Happy after a few wins. We think the home team has a great chance for the outright win. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Rockets v. Hornets UNDER 235 | 99-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
We expect a close game here and we think the total is way too high. These teams don’t play often, but they have a strong history to the under as 21 of the last 29 meetings have gone under the posted number. We had the number handicapped at 228, and we expect the Hornets to have a letdown game here as they haven’t played at home a in a long time (Dec 10 was their last home game), and the first game back home after a long layoff can be a tricky spot for the home team. |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Pistons v. Spurs -11 | 109-144 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play #542 Take San Antonio over Detroit (7 p.m. EST, Sunday Dec 26) The Spurs became Los Angeles legends before the Xmas break by beating both the Lakers and Clippers for the last official games at Staples Center before the name change. Both games were impressive blowouts. You might think the Xmas break would stymie momentum, but this team has one of the best coaches in the NBA and we think they will keep the positive momentum going against one of the worst teams in the NBA, who are probably going to be distracted playing away from home on the day after a holiday. |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Mavs v. Jazz UNDER 214 | Top | 116-120 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
Dallas is one of the top under teams in the NBA at 20-10-1 for the under. The oddsmakers are scared to post too low totals with this team, and we will continue to take advantage. They are facing the league’s best offense tonight, but Dallas plays at the slowest pace in the NBA, and they will slow the game down tonight to give themselves the best chance to be competitive, especially with their best offensive player sidelined. These are also two Top 8 defenses, so we don’t expect either team to have a crazy offensive day. We think the most likely two scenarios here are that Dallas slows down the game and plays strong defense to keep this close or that the Jazz blow them out and keep them to a real low score. We think both scenarios play well for the under. Three straight meetings between these teams have gone under the posted total, and we see that trend continuing here on the Christmas nightcap. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Thunder +15 v. Suns | Top | 101-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show |
Whenever an NBA team is catching this many points, you have to take a look at the underdog and see if there is a good chance they can cover. We can cover this line even in a blowout. And we think the Thunder are primed to cover tonight. OKC is the No. 3 ATS team in the NBA at 19-11 ATS. They are even better than the Suns, who have been great ATS also. Even though the Thunder are on a B2B, they have a favorable injury report tonight (good thing there is no nightlife in OKC!). They are also in good form as they have won three straight SU and covered in four straight ATS. All of those wins came against playoff contenders. This is a letdown spot for the Suns. Phoenix played the Lakers last time out, and they are preparing for their rematch against the Warriors on Christmas. So they probably won’t give full effort here against OKC. And we think the Thunder will play hard here against the best team in the NBA. OKC has a strong betting history here as they have covered in seven of the last nine meetings. |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Clippers -5.5 v. Kings | Top | 105-89 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
We like to take a good team after a bad loss. We aren’t sure yet if this Clippers team is a good team or not yet, as they have looked great one night then awful the next. But last game out this team suffered a really embarrassing home loss to the Spurs. The team flat out did not show up to the arena, and Coach Lue made it known he wasn’t happy with the effort. We expect a strong effort here, and Paul George has a game under his belt to get back in the groove. Not to mention the Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips to Sacramento. |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Cavs +5.5 v. Celtics | 101-111 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
The Cavs have now covered in 14 straight games! And here we see them as an underdog again against the underperforming Celtics. Both teams have a grocery list sized injury report as most of the teams in the NBA are being wracked by Covid. But the Cavs have played great team basketball and this team doesn’t have any stars anyways. They have been playing hard every game as evidenced by their stellar ATS record, and they are getting too many points again today in a game either team could win. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Suns -6.5 v. Lakers | 108-90 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
The Lakers are the worst ATS team in the NBA, and they are playing the NBA’s best team to this point of the season. The Lakers have a long list of players out due to covid or injury, and the Suns should have all their stars tonight. The Lakers are the worst ATS team because they aren’t that good this season but also they are normally shaded by the oddsmakers and we think that is the case tonight as we thought this line should be closer to double digits. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Wolves v. Mavs -1 | 102-114 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
These teams played Sunday and it was a pretty strong game for both teams. We are going with the Zig Zag theory here for the rematch. When teams play consecutive games here, especially mid-tier teams, and there is a change of venue where the losing team is now at home, they normally have a great chance to win the game. We see that happening here. Key players are out for both teams and we expect a low scoring game. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Wolves v. Mavs UNDER 215 | 102-114 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |

|||||||
12-20-21 | Spurs v. Clippers -4.5 | 116-92 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
The Spurs come in on a B2B and playing their third game in four nights. The Clippers are desperate for a win as they have dropped two straight after a four-game winning streak. And they could be getting Paul George back tonight for this one, and he will be fresh if not rusty. But he will be the best player on the court. The Clippers have covered in five of six meetings and they have won three straight. |
|||||||
12-19-21 | Lakers v. Bulls -6 | Top | 110-115 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
The Bulls are as rested as any team in the NBA at this point in the season as their last game was over a week ago. Both teams are still having Covid issues, but the Lakers will also be without AD, who is now out for a month at least. And Chicago is getting some players back in the mix for tonight. The Lakers roster is thin anyways, and chemistry is a major issue here. The Bulls will be excited to get back on the court, and that should be reflected in the final score. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Wizards +10 v. Jazz | 109-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
The Wizards haven’t been playing well lately. But this spread is just too good to pass up. Utah looked in bad form last night in a home loss to San Antonio. Their offense once again did well, but their defense didn’t play up to standards. Now they are on a B2B against a Wizards team that was off on Friday. This is the most points the Wizards have gotten as an underdog this season, and we think this is a couple too many points. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Cavs -2.5 v. Bucks | Top | 119-90 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
Cleveland has covered in three straight games. And it looks like they have another juicy line here for Saturday. They are well rested, while the Bucks are coming in on a B2B. The Bucks are likely to be shorthanded again tonight, while the Cavs are relatively healthy. Not only did the Bucks play last night, but they went to OT where they lost in New Orleans. This is just a bad spot for the home team and we think Cleveland will keep the momentum going tonight. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Knicks v. Celtics -4.5 | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
The Celtics are on a back-to-back, but they were well rested coming into last night’s game so this isn’t your normal B2B. And they are 4-2 SU and ATS in B2B situations regardless this season. They were a bit rusty to start the game last night due to that time off and could never catch up through they played well at the end, and we think that positive momentum will carry over here tonight. New York doesn’t have a quality win yet this month, and we don’t see it happening tonight. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Lakers v. Wolves -2 | 92-110 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
The Wolves are healthy while the Lakers injury list looks as long as a grocery list. They have key players out because of Covid, and everyone else is banged up at the very least. This is already a thin team in terms of depth, and the Wolves will want to perform well here as it is always an important game when the Lakers come to town. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Grizzlies -6.5 v. Kings | 124-105 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies have figured it out and are playing some of the best basketball in the NBA right now even without their best player. They don’t seem to have a letdown game too often, and they are playing great team basketball and their offense is in rhythm. They far outclass the Kings, who look to be in for another poor season. We will go with the hot team here again tonight. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Spurs v. Jazz OVER 226 | 128-126 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
These are two very good offensive teams. Utah is the No. 1 offense in the NBA, and they have been especially explosive lately. They have scored 118 or more in six of seven games. We don’t think they will have any problem putting up 120 tonight on this Spurs defense. San Antonio is No. 11 in the NBA for points scored, so they will be able to keep up and contribute their part to get this one over the total. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Nuggets v. Hawks -2.5 | 133-115 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
The Nuggets have generally been playing above their heads most of the last month despite some key injuries. Kudos to them. We think this might be a time to fade them for a bit moving forward. They obviously have respect from the oddsmakers. But they played really bad last time out in a blowout to a divisional opponent (Minnesota) at home. Now they face a much better team on the road. And we are getting a nice line here because the Hawks haven’t played their best. But we expect them to use this game to build their first win streak of the month. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Warriors v. Celtics +4 | 111-107 | Push | 0 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
Golden State has covered only one of their last four, and we think they have cooled off a bit and they are still saddled with shading from the oddsmakers. Boston is coming in well rested and they just knocked of Milwaukee at home. This team has a penchant for getting up against top teams at home, and we think they will be very motivated for the outright win here. Boston has covered in four of the last five meetings. |
|||||||
12-16-21 | 76ers +1.5 v. Nets | Top | 105-114 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
Philly hasn’t been playing great basketball lately, and they are on a back-to-back, but this is a great chance for a win for them and they are the kind of team that can take advantage. The Nets have seven players out for Covid protocols right now and they had to sign someone off the streets to get to the league minimum of eight players to play this game. The situation is so dire and we doubt we will see Durant play super heavy minutes here. So the Sixers have a great chance for a pretty easy win, and we had them laying five points here in our handicapping. They have lost three of four so a win is important. The Nets are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games, and we don’t expect things to go well for them tonight with this very limited roster. |
|||||||
12-15-21 | Grizzlies -3 v. Blazers | 113-103 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies are quietly getting the job done and playing their best basketball of the season. They have won 8 of 9 and are covering in a lot of those games. The Blazers have been very cold as they are 1-9 in their last 10 SU. They have had a very tough schedule, but this game will be tough for them as well. Especially since they are on a back-to-back after taking the Suns to overtime last night, and this is a game they exerted a lot of energy in. We don’t expect them to have much left in the tank for a game that probably isn’t as important to them as the one they played last night. |
|||||||
12-15-21 | Lakers v. Mavs UNDER 213.5 | Top | 107-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
We have been taking a lot of Dallas unders lately but not even enough. That’s because the Mavs have hit seven straight unders. And the Lakers have hit four straight. So the trends are pointing in the right direction. The Lakers have been playing very good defense lately and their offense has been inconsistent. Dallas had been better defensively and worse offensively. We think this total should have been in the 210s, so the value is here. Also, both squads have important players on the injury list, so don’t wait for this bet because the line could plummet down. |
|||||||
12-15-21 | Rockets v. Cavs -8.5 | 89-124 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Both these teams have been as hot as can be ATS with the Rockets at 9-1 ATS in their last 10 and the Cavs 10-0 ATS. So somethings got to give. We think the chances of this being a blowout outweigh it being a close game. The Rockets got hot and have had some solid wins, but many of their recent games have come against questionable teams. Cleveland right now isn’t questionable and this team is quietly playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. Cleveland hasn’t been overlooking opponents, and we see another cover coming tonight. |
|||||||
12-13-21 | Suns -3 v. Clippers | Top | 95-111 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
Both teams have key players that may or may not miss this game. But the Suns have been playing amazing team basketball all season and they are better built to weather the storm of injuries than the Clippers, a team still very much trying to figure things out. LA has been playing better recently, but they don’t seem to be a match for the Suns, and this spread is more than fair for the visitors. And, also, even though Pat Bev doesn’t play for the Clippers any more, Chris Paul will be motivated against his old team because of history and also that Pat Bev shove in the back in the postseason last year. |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Pelicans v. Spurs -2 | 97-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
The Spurs have covered in five straight meetings and six of seven. Both teams here play bad defense, and we see a high scoring game. But the Spurs are good offensively, and we expect them to put up a big number on offense tonight. These teams have similar records, but the Spurs are the better team, and we expect them to take care of business here at home. |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Pelicans v. Spurs OVER 219.5 | 97-112 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
The Spurs have covered in five straight meetings and six of seven. Both teams here play bad defense, and we see a high scoring game. But the Spurs are good offensively, and we expect them to put up a big number on offense tonight. These teams have similar records, but the Spurs are the better team, and we expect them to take care of business here at home. |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Nets v. Pistons +7.5 | Top | 116-104 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 53 m | Show |
The Nets have had trouble here in recent meetings as they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five in Detroit. Harden for the Nets will be out for rest, and that tells us that the Nets aren’t taking this game too seriously. Brooklyn is 3-8 ATS in this spread range they see themselves in tonight, and they are just 2-4 ATS on the road against sub-.500 teams. That shows us that this team loses focus in situations like this. Detroit is a bad team but they play hard and they have a habit of covering as a decent sized underdog. We expect a close game here tonight. |
|||||||
12-10-21 | Lakers -4.5 v. Thunder | Top | 116-95 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
It would seem that many things would point to a solid bet on OKC here. They are one of the best ATS teams in the NBA, and the Lakers are one of the worst. OKC is coming off two wins, and the Lakers are coming in on a back-to-back on the road after losing last night in Memphis. The Thunder have won both games against the Lakers this season. But it’s that last point in why we like the road team so much tonight. This is a game we have had circled for awhile, and the line certainly set up nicely for us. This is a double revenge scenario for the Lakers, who have been playing much better overall since they lost those two games to OKC. A lot of times teams forget about random games from months ago, but we doubt the Lakers forgot about those two losses. Those are brought up all the time by fans and media in criticisms of the Lakers. LA played a stinker last night in Memphis. They lost by double digits. We get the feeling they were looking ahead at this double revenge spot. And OKC has won two straight after a long losing streak and we don’t see them giving top effort tonight. Lakers by 7+! |
|||||||
12-09-21 | Lakers v. Grizzlies OVER 222.5 | Top | 95-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 19 m | Show |
These are two Top 8 offensive teams in the NBA this season. We think both teams will get their points. It doesn’t take a lot of energy to score, but it does to play defense, and the Grizzlies are coming in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. We expect the Lakers to be able to put up a big number on offense here as they have been playing well lately, and we have no doubt the Grizzlies can add the rest to get this one over the number. |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Thunder +7 v. Raptors | 110-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
OKC is another one of those bad teams that are good against the spread. They play hard and have a good floor leader but they don’t yet know how to close out games. That is ATS gold. They have covered seven of their last 10 despite going 2-8 SU during that span. They are 14-9 ATS on the season despite a 7-16 SU record. We think they are getting too many points here again. Toronto is 0-3 ATS this season as a favorite of three or more points. We like to back a team off an embarrassing loss and that was OKC when they suffered the worst defeat in NBA history last week. They had an off night. It happens. But they bounce back nicely with a win and a cover, and we think they will want to play well for two straight games at least to get the bad taste of last week’s game out of their collective mouth. |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Wizards v. Pistons +5.5 | 119-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Detroit is a bad team but one that plays hard and covers on a regular basis, especially when catching decent points. The Wizards haven’t been great as a favorite as they are 4-7 ATS as a favorite of three or more points. They are also 1-5-1 ATS in their seven road games this season against sub.-500 teams. The Wizards have lost three straight and four of five, and they just aren’t in good form right now. We don’t think they are deserving of laying this many points on the road to a decent ATS team. This is a winnable game for the home team, and we think they go all out to make this a competitive one on Wednesday. |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Bulls v. Cavs -2.5 | Top | 92-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
The Cavs are a team we targeted early in the season as a serious ATS threat, and they have been just that, with an 18-7 ATS mark that is one of the best in the NBA. And this team can really keep going strong all season as they are not a popular team with bettors with no superstar players. But this team plays strong team basketball and lock-down defense, which is a great recipe for ATS success. This team certainly looks like a playoff team and a team on the rise. The Bulls are right behind the Cavs on the ATS leaderboards. But they will be missing some players tonight, and depth is already an issue with this team. DeRozan is out because of Covid protocols, and they are missing some role players as well. The Cavs have covered eight straight games, but they lost two in a row to the Jazz and Bucks. This is a great spot for them to get back on the winning track, and we see a comfortable win here. |
|||||||
12-07-21 | Nets v. Mavs UNDER 219 | 102-99 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Both teams are trending to the under, with 3 of 4 for each team, or a combined 6-2, run for the under. The Dallas offense has failed to reach the century mark in all those three games that went under. They put up a big total against New Orleans, one of the worst defenses in the league (but managed only 91 in the rematch). They face a Brooklyn team that is Top 10 defensively this season, and the Dallas defense isn’t too far behind them. We think this total was overadjusted upwards. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Nuggets v. Bulls -3 | 97-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Both teams have looked good recently but we believe the Bulls are in better form, and this line is short in our opinion as we had this one handicapped at 6.5. The Nuggets are getting into the middle of this long road trip and that is when the fatigue starts to set in. They have also been playing a bit over their heads recently with all the injuries they have. We think the home team has a great chance for a comfortable 7+-point win. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Grizzlies v. Heat -4.5 | 105-90 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Memphis has won four straight, but those were against opponents with some questions. They face a much tougher task tonight, and Miami is the better team with Ja Morant out for the Grizzlies. Miami has had a pretty tough schedule lately, but this looks like a good spot for them, and they might get some key players back tonight as well. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Thunder v. Pistons OVER 202.5 | 114-103 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
As far as we can remember, this is the lowest total of the season posted at sportsbooks. We have to take a shot at the over here, especially since the NBA is trending towards the over recently. OKC allowed 152 in their last game against Memphis. The Pistons have allowed 110 or more in the last three games. These defenses will give the offenses opportunities to score, and this total is very low. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Celtics v. Blazers OVER 211 | 145-117 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Boston’s offense came alive last night in a losing effort at Utah, but they scored 130, and if they can get anywhere near that tonight this bet will be an easy cash. That is doubtful, but with this low total we don’t need that many points from the visiting team. Boston has the much better defense, but they will be tired tonight and we don’t see them being that effective. But the Blazers defense hasn’t been good, and we think both teams get their points tonight. Five of the last six meetings in Portland have gone over the posted number. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Clippers v. Kings +1 | 99-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
The Clippers played probably their most complete game of the season last night vs. the Lakers. But this team has been incredibly inconsistent, and this is a prime letdown spot after they go up against and beat their biggest rival then they face Sacramento on the road in a back-to-back. Paul George has ankle issues but is expected to play. The Kings beat this team in LA last time out, and they are rested. They also have wins over the Lakers and Blazers recently, so this team is playing well even though they have some head scratching losses too. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Spurs +8.5 v. Warriors | Top | 112-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
We just think this is a huge letdown spot for the Warriors after they snapped the Suns winning streak last night. They played two straight against the Suns and also had a game against the Clippers, who are more of a rival than the Spurs, who aren’t really moving the needle from an excitement standpoint at the moment. But the Spurs have won three straight and covered in four of five games, and we see a competitive game here tonight. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Clippers v. Lakers -1.5 | Top | 119-115 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
We rarely take the Lakers for expert picks. They are normally shaded by the oddsmakers and they are normally one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA. But bettor confidence is down for them at the moment, and we had them laying five in this game tonight in our NBA handicapping. The Clippers just look lost lately. They were beaten soundly in their last two games – by the Kings and Pelicans, two of the worst teams in the NBA. The Lakers have been more competitive lately and they have won three out of four, and they will have their full complement of the Big 3 tonight. The Clippers have been playing very bad defense, and we see the Lakers cruising to an easy win here. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Celtics v. Jazz OVER 209.5 | 130-137 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
The Jazz are really playing well offensively. They have scored 118 or more in six of their last eight games. Boston is a good defensive team, but we don’t see them doing enough to slow the home team down, and we think the Jazz can easily get over 110 here, and we think this will be a pretty competitive game as we lean to Boston ATS, so we think the road team will get their fair share of points also. The over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Utah. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Pelicans v. Mavs OVER 216 | 107-91 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
These teams played Wednesday, and the Mavs scored 139. New Orleans has a horrible defense. Even if they make some adjustments, we don’t see how they will do much better here. Even if they cut 15 points off that total it wouldn’t be nearly enough. And there is a good chance the Pelicans play better on offense here as this will likely be more competitive than a 30+-point blowout. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Thunder v. Grizzlies OVER 212.5 | 79-152 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies have really been playing great on offense recently, minus their last game against the Raptors. But we think they can put up a big number here tonight. The Thunder are coming in on a back-to-back, and they looked tired in the fourth quarter, allowing Houston to rally and score at will. We think that will carry over here, and the Grizzlies could very possibly score in the 120 range. The over is 11-4 in the last 15 meetings, and we expect that trend to stay true tonight. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Bulls v. Knicks OVER 209.5 | 119-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
The Bulls have scored 123 or more in two of their last three games, so they are feeling it offensively even though those were against two bad defensive teams. But they just need a good offensive game here and this one will likely sail over the total. The Knicks haven’t been as good defensively as last season. And after a streak of unders, two of the last three games for NY have gone over the posted number, and we think the bookies have overadjusted this total as well. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Bucks v. Raptors OVER 215 | 93-97 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
The Bucks offense is humming, and they have gone over in three straight. 114 was their lowest point total in their last seven games. If they get anywhere close to their recent average, this will be an easy cash. This total was adjusted downward because of Toronto, who have played in three straight under games. But we think their offense will benefit from the pace here, and we doubt their defense can do much to slow down the Bucks offense tonight. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Kings v. Clippers -8 | 124-115 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
We love to back a good team off an embarrassing loss. Not sure the Clips are a good team yet as they have been wildly inconsistent this season. But they are certainly off a very embarrassing loss as they were blown out at home by New Orleans. They were on a B2B in that game after a tough game against the Warriors, but now it is the Kings that are on a B2B. They were blown out by a Lakers team that has looked worse than the Clippers, and LeBron James was out with Covid. They really faded in the second half and looked out of energy, and that is a bad sign against a Clippers team that has owned them the last couple years (10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings). |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Rockets v. Thunder -2.5 | Top | 114-110 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
This is a rapid revenge spot for the Thunder as these teams played Monday and the Rockets blew out OKC in Texas. Now we have a venue change where OKC is at home, and we think they are the better team despite the records by a considerable margin. At 13-7, OKC is one of the better ATS teams in the NBA. They are 7-3 ATS in their last 10, so they are playing above oddsmaker expectations. Houston is just not a good team and they don’t handle success well as they are 2-9 ATS after a SU win. The Rockets are 1-8 ATS in their last nine meetings in OKC. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | 76ers v. Celtics UNDER 206.5 | 87-88 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
Six of the last nine meetings have gone under the posted total. We like the way the Celtics have been playing defense. They have really been concentrating on that aspect as a team, and it is showing on the court. They have held three of their last four opponents under the century mark, and there’s a good chance that happens here as well as the Sixers have been offensively challenged lately. We see this as a close, low-scoring game, and as long as there is no OT we should cover here easy. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Lakers -3.5 v. Kings | 117-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
We rarely take the Lakers as they are normally shaded by the oddsmakers, but we think this is a good spot. LA is getting healthy, and they need a win here and should be extra motivated after losing to the Kings recently. This is more than a fair number for the much better team on the road. These teams have both been terrible ATS, but the Lakers have been shackled with shaded lines by the oddsmakers, while the Kings always get the benefit of very favorable lines. We think the road team gets a 7+-point win here. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Pistons +9.5 v. Blazers | 92-110 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
Portland has just been a very mediocre team this season, and they are getting lined here according to their potential and not their play on the court. They come into this one in lousy form, having lost three straight SU and ATS. Detroit is a young team that is going to have some bad losses, but there is some talent here and they have been a very good bet as a big underdog as they normally play hard for a full four quarters. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Grizzlies v. Raptors OVER 216 | 98-91 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
Both teams are trending to the over. The over is 7-0 in the Grizzlies last seven games. Seven of the last nine games for Toronto have gone over. With Ja Morant out for Memphis, the oddsmakers can’t make the total too high. But this one is once again too low. Both these teams have been allowing lots of points. And this should be a close game and both teams will get their points to get this one over the posted total. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Cavs +6.5 v. Mavs | 114-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Cleveland continues to be one of the best ATS teams in the league at 13-7 ATS, and they have covered in their last three games as well. The Mavs are one of the worst ATS teams this season and they are regularly overrated by the oddsmakers. No one wants to bet this team with no stars, and the Mavs have some star power that hasn’t translated into the expected success on the court this season. In fact, these teams have very similar records, and we expect a close game tonight. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Pacers v. Wolves OVER 216.5 | 98-100 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
Minnesota is trending to the over and three straight games and four of five have gone over the posted total. Also, four of the last five meetings have gone over the posted number. The Pacers are the better defensive team, but they are coming in on a back-to-back and we think Minnesota will bring the pace here tonight. The Pacers will be use their energy to run instead of on defense. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Magic +14 v. 76ers | 96-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
When a team is catching this many points, you have to look for a reason to back them. Since these are normally bad teams, you need to usually look at the other team and see if there are chinks in the armor. In our opinion, Philly hasn’t played like a team that should be laying this many points. They have covered in only two of their last 10 games. They are finally getting healthy, but this team hasn’t exactly been dominant when healthy this season. We think the Magic will be competitive in this one, and the players are probably even aware of this huge point spread and could use it for fire. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Pistons v. Lakers UNDER 215.5 | 106-110 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a battle against the teams involved in that dustup over a LeBron James elbow last week, and as a result this game will be more contentious than a regular season game against two teams playing badly normally would. We see a hard-fought game on both sides where both teams step up the defensive intensity, and the Pistons are very bad offensively and will have to rely on pace and defense to stay within striking distance and a chance for a win here. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Kings v. Grizzlies -3 | 101-128 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
Both teams have similar records, but the Grizzlies have a much higher ceiling and they have underachieved to start the season, while the Kings have been what we expected from them. And we are getting a nice line here because Morant, the best player on the court for Memphis, is missing. But this team still has a lot of talent, and their offense has been humming lately. In a game that won’t feature much defense, we see the home team pulling away in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Kings v. Grizzlies OVER 222 | 101-128 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
Both teams have similar records, but the Grizzlies have a much higher ceiling and they have underachieved to start the season, while the Kings have been what we expected from them. And we are getting a nice line here because Morant, the best player on the court for Memphis, is missing. But this team still has a lot of talent, and their offense has been humming lately. In a game that won’t feature much defense, we see the home team pulling away in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Warriors v. Clippers UNDER 215.5 | 105-90 | Win | 100 | 3 h 27 m | Show | |
Both teams combined are 24-14 to the under this season. The Warriors have one of the best defenses in the NBA this season. They are No. 1 in points allowed, and the Clippers aren’t far behind at No. 3. The problem is with LA is that they can’t get consistent scoring, and that is why they are struggling. We don’t think we can count on their offense here, but they should play solid defense against the dynamic Golden State offense. We don’t see them in a shootout here, so they will have to rely on their defense to keep them in the game. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Suns v. Nets -2.5 | Top | 113-107 | Loss | -101 | 25 h 37 m | Show |
We think this is a great spot for the Nets, who have been playing as well as any team in the NBA lately. They are well rested here after having two nights off after a big win over Boston on Wednesday, while the Suns are on a back-to-back. They played a physical Knicks team last night. Phoenix has been playing extremely well overall lately, but they have had a very busy schedule this week and this road trip will start to wear on them. Brooklyn has had a lot of success in this series as they are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings. And since these teams don’t see each other often, that trend stretched back for years. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Celtics -3 v. Spurs | Top | 88-96 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 48 m | Show |
Boston had been playing very well recently until they ran into a hot Brooklyn team and had kind of a bad loss on Wednesday. We think that was just a hiccup and this is a great spot for them to bounce back and get on track. Boston has found their defense and they have probably been playing some of the best defense in the NBA throughout the last 10 or so games before the Brooklyn loss. We expect them to be focused here against a very beatable opponent, and this line is more than fair laying a small number on the road. Boston has bounced back well after a loss as they are 4-0 ATS after losing a game. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Hawks v. Grizzlies OVER 224.5 | 132-100 | Win | 100 | 28 h 18 m | Show | |
Memphis has been trending to the over with five straight games going over the posted total. Their offense has been steadily improving while their defense has been allowing lots of points on a regular basis. They have allowed 120+ on average in their last three games. Atlanta is a team that can put up a lot of points against a bad defense. Memphis is dead last in the NBA in points allowed. We see a close game here, just like the oddsmakers, and we think both teams will get their points. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Pistons +12.5 v. Clippers | 96-107 | Win | 100 | 24 h 47 m | Show | |
The Clippers were ON during their seven-game winning streak, but that seems pretty far in the rearview mirror and this team is OFF right now. They have lost four of six SU and ATS, and three of those losses have been by double digits. That’s not the type of form where the more popular team should be laying double digits to anyone, even the rebuilding Pistons. Detroit is battle tested lately and they have played a bunch of playoff type teams lately. They have been very competitive and haven’t lost a game in blowout fashion in a handful of games against teams in better form than LA. Detroit is 6-1 ATS in their last seven after a loss. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Raptors v. Grizzlies OVER 217 | 126-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
The Raptors are trending to the over, with five of their last six games going over the posted total. They face a very good Memphis offense that has scored 119 or more in three of four games. Toronto has been strong defensively at times this season, but not lately. They have given up 118 or more in four of five games. Both teams are trending to the over, and we expect a barnburner here, where the Grizzlies pull away in the fourth quarter for the cover. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Suns v. Cavs +8 | 120-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
The Suns have that gaudy 14-3 record, but the Cavs have a better ATS record than do the Suns. They are one of the better ATS teams in the NBA at 11-7 ATS. They have been in a bit of a slide lately as they faced an incredibly brutal schedule lately. And they didn’t embarrass themselves in any of those games and were always competitive. The Suns have faced a slew of Western Conference teams lately. They have been playing well. We think they might take a breather here and not give 100% against an out of conference team that isn’t going to move the needle nationally. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Hornets v. Magic OVER 218.5 | 106-99 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
The Orlando defense is barely even trying lately and they have given up 115 or more in three straight games and five of the last seven. The Hornets have faced a bunch of really good defensive teams lately, but they should be able to put up a massive number here, and getting over 120 for them seems likely to us, so the Magic won’t need to score much even in a blowout. Four of five meetings have gone over the posted total, and the Hornets have scored 120 or more in both of the last two meetings. Despite their poor offense, Orlando is 10-8 to the over, meaning the oddsmakers are posting too low totals for them on a regular basis. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Lakers v. Knicks UNDER 214 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
The Lakers need any win they can get right now and they didn’t give themselves the best chance to get that win tonight with LeBron James getting suspended. He just came back into the lineup, and the Lakers really needed him. We think the Knicks will dominate this one. They are back to playing their brand of defense that we have gotten used to. Their last seven games have gone under as a result. Their offense hasn’t been dynamic enough to put up a big number here, but their defense has been good enough to contain the Lakers offense. |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Magic +13 v. Bucks | Top | 92-123 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
These teams played Saturday, same venue, and the Bucks won by only 9. Milwaukee is not in playoff form right now, but they keep getting lined by the oddsmakers like they are. The Bucks haven’t covered a spread in five games. They are 1-7 ATS at home. The Magic aren’t a very good team. But this is a revenge spot against a familiar opponent where they just played and kept the game within punching distance. We think there’s a great chance this game is even closer than the Saturday game. |

11-21-21 | Lakers -7 v. Pistons | Top | 121-116 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 37 m | Show |
We think that this is a good spot for the Lakers to get back on track, on the road vs. a bad team. Going against the Lakers this season has been very profitable as they are bad ATS. But Detroit has been just about as bad. The difference is that the Lakers lines are shaded, while the Pistons lines have been generous. LeBron has had a game back to get his footing, and this team needs a big win bad. We think they get it tonight. |

11-19-21 | Mavs v. Suns -8.5 | 104-112 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
These teams played Wednesday, same venue, and the Suns won but didn’t cover. We will go with the Zig Zag theory here, which will be useful this season with the quirky scheduling. The team that covers the first game normally doesn’t in the next, and we think Dallas is in trouble until Luka gets back as he is truly one of the top MVP candidates yearly because he is probably the most important player in the league to his team. They put up a fight Wednesday, but we don’t see it happening again tonight. |

11-19-21 | Clippers v. Pelicans UNDER 214.5 | 81-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
New Orleans is 11-4-1 to the under this season. The under is a trend league wide, and New Orleans is a perfect example. The oddsmakers have been setting the lines very high, and teams like the Pelicans struggle on offense on a regular basis. The Clippers are one of the better defensive teams in the NBA, and they are on a B2B so their offense might be a little flat. We see them winning this one in a low scoring game. |

11-19-21 | Thunder +13 v. Bucks | Top | 89-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
The Bucks have been a poor ATS team to start the season, and especially recently. This team seems to be in a bit of a funk to start the season, and they are no where near championship form that we saw over the Summer. But they are being lined as such. The Thunder are becoming a good ATS underdog. They have cashed six of eight tickets. They are gelling well as a young team and playing solid team basketball. They are healthy here and should bring their A Game against the champs to keep this one within double digits. |

11-19-21 | Lakers v. Celtics -1.5 | 108-130 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
This line is short because LeBron James should be back in the lineup. But they weren’t very good before he left with injury, and we doubt he will be in 100% game shape if he does enter the lineup tonight. Bet this ASAP as if he is ruled out, the line will rise a bit. The Lakers are one of the worst ATS teams year after year as they are given too much respect by oddsmakers and bettors. Boston is always one of the best ATS teams, and they will give their rival their best shot tonight, LeBron or no LeBron. |

11-19-21 | Pacers v. Hornets UNDER 216 | 118-121 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
The Hornets are playing better defense and they have cashed under tickets in four straight games. We don’t think the oddsmakers have adjusted enough. Their defense has been real good while their offense isn’t putting up the numbers they did at the start of the season. Indiana has gone under in seven of eight, and this is not a dynamic offensive team. We see a game where the defenses will tighten up in a close game in the fourth, and as long as no OT we should cash this comfortably. |

11-18-21 | 76ers +7.5 v. Nuggets | 103-89 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Philly is 0-5 SU and ATS in their last five. But we just think this is too many points. The Sixers are dealing with a lot of injuries. But so is Denver as some of their key players are out as well. The Sixers have played a lot of close games during this losing streak but they were blown out and embarrassed last time out, losing to the Jazz by 35. This is a winnable game for them and we expect a much more focused effort and we think they will challenge for the win here. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Clippers v. Grizzlies -105 | 108-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
The Clippers have good depth but a lot of that depth won’t see the floor tonight as this team is dealing with a variety of injuries. But it doesn’t really affect the spread with no big names. The Grizzlies were in a slump but they had that Get Right game against Houston and they looked really good in a 30+-point blowout. We think that momentum carries over to this game, and the Clippers have a real tough week of their schedule this week, and we don’t see it going well with a myriad of players sidelined. |

11-18-21 | Warriors -9.5 v. Cavs | 104-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
The Warriors faced their first major road test against Brooklyn and dominated without really breaking a sweat. This seems like a team on a mission, and they are facing a banged up Cavs team that is on a back-to-back after putting up a good fight against that same Nets team last night but losing by 10. That was a conference game and now on a B2B and very thin roster we doubt they play better than they did last night and against a hotter team tonight. |
