Cleveland at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Cavaliers- The Spurs have lost four straight games, 8-of-9 and are nine games under the break even mark but they are a plus against the 'number' as they are 22-19 ATS on the season. Cleveland of course leads the NBA with a 27-14-1 ATS record and are the most improved team in the league. San Antonio has had their way against the Cavaliers as they are 65-34 all-time including 40-9 SU record at home. After a blazing start to the season the odds maker is catching up to the Cavs as they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games as favorites and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games on the road. Spurs have bounce back abilities as they are 8-3 ATS after an ATS loss. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

01-13-22 | Wolves +5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 108-116 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
Minnesota at Memphis 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis is on a franchise high 10-game winning streak as Ja Morant is establishing himself as an All-Star for the first time. Minnesota just had their 4-game win streak end in New Orleans Tuesday and look to post their second win over Memphis the first coming in November. The T'wolves are 6-0-1 ATS as road underdogs in their last seven and are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games. Despite their record setting streak the Griz are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as home favorites. Take MINNESOTA! |

01-13-22 | Ohio State +3.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 68-78 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 41 m | Show |
Ohio State at Wisconsin 7:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Badgers- These two rivals met in early December and the Buckeyes prevailed in Columbus 73-55 and that was they last time the Badgers lost. Wisconsin has won five in-a-row since that loss as they lead the nation in fewest turnover committed a game at 8.2. In the first meeting the Buckeyes has a 49-28 rebounding advantage and I'm sure that will change but just by how much. The Buckeyes are 7-2 ATS in their last night as road dogs and 11-5 ATS in their last 16n road games overall. Whisky is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 6-2 in their last eight games as favorites. Still, take...OHIO STATE! |

Charlotte at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over 76ers- Since returning from a three week COVID absence the 76ers and Joel Embiid has scored 30 points or more in seven straight games all Philadelphia victories. Charlotte has won three straight including a pair of wins over the NBA Champs Milwaukee and have their best half-way mark (22-19) since 2001. The Hornets are No. 2 in total points averaging 115.2 PPG and are shooting 37.7% with their 3-point attempts. Charlotte has been a money maker and is 15-7 ATS as underdogs and 14-4 ATS against teams with winning records. Sixers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. Take CHARLOTTE! |

01-12-22 | Clemson +3 v. Notre Dame | Top | 56-72 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
Clemson at Notre Dame 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Fighting Irish- A pair of hot ACC clubs clash in South Bend where the Fighting Irish who have won five straight games host Clemson who has won five of six. Notre Dame is 6-0 SU at home while the Tigers have won their last two on the road against Virginia and N.C. State. The Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall and the Irish are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 at home and are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following a SU win. Take CLEMSON! |

01-11-22 | Warriors v. Grizzlies +2.5 | Top | 108-116 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
Golden State at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- This is one game that will be worth the price of admission as Steph Curry and Ja Morant are very 'special' players. Numbers aside did you catch the block made by Morant against the Lakers the other night...one of the most impressive plays I have ever witnessed in professional sports. Memphis is running with Ja and has won nine straight and the Grizzlies are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as underdogs. Take the GRIZZLIES! |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Kentucky v. Vanderbilt +8 | Top | 78-66 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
Kentucky at Vanderbilt 7:00 ET Commodores (+) over Wildcats- No. 18 Kentucky has relied on 'home' cooking to boost their record (12-3) as they are 11-0 when in the comforts of the Bluegrass state but they are not the same away from Rupp Arena. The Wildcats don't have to leave the state for tonight's game in Nashville against intra-state rival Vanderbilt. Like many rivalries this is an underdog series as they have gone 15-5-2 ATS in the last 22 meetings and they Commodores are 10-3-4 ATS in their last 17 games as underdogs. The Wildcats are 5-12 ATS against teams with winning records. Take VANDERBILT! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Bulls v. Mavs +3.5 | Top | 99-113 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show |
Chicago at Dallas 7:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Bulls- With the addition of coach Billy Donovan the Bulls are doing it everywhere posting a 12-6 SU record on the road and 14-4 at home. They are 21-9 ATS in their last 30m games as favorites including 14-6 ATS as road favorites and 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Dallas. But, one thing to remember is that these trends were accumulated when the Mavericks were good and Chicago was always an underdog. The rolls are reversed her and so is the result. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Wisconsin v. Maryland +1.5 | Top | 70-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
Wisconsin at Maryland 7:30 ET Terrapins (+) over Badgers- It came as a surprise to me that the Big Ten's leading scorer plays for Wisconsin as they have always had the defense first mentality. Johnny Davis leads the Badgers with 22.6 points per game and they have won four straight including wins over Purdue and Iowa with their only losses coming when Davis was sidelined with a minor injury. Maryland is hungry for the first conference win (0-3) having lost at Iowa and Illinois the last two times out. Take MARYLAND! |

01-08-22 | Bucks v. Hornets -117 | Top | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee did what it does best in defeating the nets in Brooklyn 121-109 last night and come right back with two games in three days in Charlotte. The Hornets are coming off a near record performance against Detroit scoring 140 points as they are 2nd in the NBA in scoring. The Bucks are just trodding along trying to put it all together by the time the playoffs start. Hornets have moved to the favorite and the Bucks are 1-4 ATS as road dogs and 2-8 ATS when playing with no rest. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Mavs v. Rockets +3 | Top | 130-106 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 9 m | Show |
Dallas at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (+) over Mavericks- Dallas celebrated their Dirk Nowitzki honor Megabucks victory over Golden State Wednesday and have now won four straight. The Rockets blasted off against Washington last time out winning 114-111 breaking an eight game SU and ATS losing streak. Houston came to life after coach Silas suspended Kevin Porter and Christian Wood for one game and they responded. I'm looking for a Mavericks letdown after their heralded win and a spirited effort from the Rockets. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Marquette v. Georgetown +2.5 | Top | 92-64 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
Marquette at Georgetown 6:30 ET Hoyas (+) over Golden Eagles- The former Warriors were a big winner for 'us' (Power Play) Tuesday as they pounded a tough No. 16 Providence squad 88-56 while the Hoyas last played on December 18 losing to TCU. Georgetown has been idle nearly three weeks and this is their conference opener as they had four Big East games postponed and had their first week of practice since a week before Christmas. I don't believe that Marquette can repeat the kind of performance they had against the Friars and the Hoyas should be chomping at the bit to get into action. Take GEORGETOWN! |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Iowa +2.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 78-87 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
Iowa at Wisconsin 9:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Badgers- No. 23 Wisconsin just posted a huge 74-69 win over No. 3 Purdue and will host Iowa who average 87.4 PPG. Since dropping three in-a-row in December Iowa has won four straight and have won the last four meetings with the Badgers with the road team going 2-0-2 ATS. The Hawkeyes are 6-1 ATS after a SU win and are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take IOWA! |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Warriors v. Pelicans +3.5 | Top | 96-101 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show |
Golden State at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Warriors- If this isn't a typo there is something 'rotten in Denmark.' You have got to be kidding me with this opening line at New Orleans where the NBA's best is a meager favorite against one of the league dregs. My lone release yesterday 'we' posted Dallas over the Warriors and won our Megabucks and in that contest Steph Curry was injured and is not expected to play. The Pelicans have dropped their last three and 4-of-5 while Golden State is 1-4 ATS against teams with losing records.Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
01-05-22 | North Carolina v. Notre Dame +2.5 | Top | 73-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
North Carolina at Notre Dame 9:00 ET Fighting Irish (+) over Tar Heels- After slow starts to the season both of these clubs have picked up their play as North Carolina is 3-0 in true road games and have won 7-of-8 while the Fighting Irish are 5-0 SU at home. Notre Dame (7-5) has won their last three and 4-of-5 but are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games ATS. This is just a game the Irish should be primed for although they are 4-15 ATS in their last 19 games overall. Take NOTRE DAME! |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Warriors v. Mavs +5 | Top | 82-99 | Win | 100 | 4 h 38 m | Show |
Golden State at Dallas 7:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- Ok, a little different but basically the same thing here as with the Steelers salute to Big Ben they 'play' for their guy and win. Tonight, on exhibit in Dallas tonight where one of rie own is being honored. Adam Silver among other will be present as the No. 41 jersey of Dirk Nowitzki is being retired. Emotion may play a part of the play as both teams enter playing well but the Warriors are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 games following a straight up win and just 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Kentucky v. LSU -2 | Top | 60-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
Kentucky at L.S.U. 7:00 ET Tigers over Wildcats- Kentucky off a big Tubby Smith honoring last Friday crushed under-manned High Point 92-48 and it says two things and that is the Wildcats like to beat up on the little guy and Tubby Smith's better days are behind him. Shooting 60% against that talent level is no go great accomplishment as they embark on just their second true road game of the season. In their first road attempt at Notre Dame (We win Megabucks) they lost outright 66-62 as a 5-point favorite and the same should happen here tonight as they are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine road games. Tigers are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 home games. Take LOUISIANA STATE! |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Florida State +1.5 v. Wake Forest | Top | 54-76 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
Florida State at Wake Forest 7:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Demon Deacons- It's difficult to gage just how good some of these college teams are right now or how good they should be right now as the virus has slowed down a number of programs. One of which is Florida State as they had 17 days of inaction and at 7-4 SU and it is hard to be impressed. Wake Forest at 11-3 SU should be by all rights a much bigger favorite at home where they are 8-0 SU and 5-2 ATS as favorites. To compound the strangeness of this low 'price' the Seminoles are 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games. I think that this one smells and look for the Deacons to get scalped by the Seminoles! Take FLORIDA STATE! |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Wolves +4 v. Clippers | Top | 122-104 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
Minnesota at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Clippers- The Timberwolves are beginning to look like a real basketball team after years of ineptitude but a recent swoon losing five of six has them under .500 again. Los Angeles is off a win over Brooklyn Saturday night as a 13-point underdog and return home winning 2-of-3 on the road. Minnesota is 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games as road dogs and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Clippers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 2-8 ATS as favorites. Take MINNESOTA! |

Indiana at Cleveland 6:10 ET Pacers (+) over Cavaliers- The surprising Cavaliers are facing their first tough stretch as they have dropped their last three after reaching a season high 7-games over .500 their best standing since LeBron left. Indiana is also on a three game slide and are off a 108-106 buzzer beating loss to Chicago Friday night but are happy to be in Cleveland. The Pacers have won the last five meetings SU and are 23-10-3 ATS in the last 36 meetings and 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games as underdogs. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Michigan State v. Northwestern +2 | Top | 73-67 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 21 m | Show |
Michigan State at Northwestern 2:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Spartans- No. 10 Michigan State is on a six-game wining streak and has been playing short-handed because of virus protocols but will be a full strength for the first time in two weeks. Northwestern hasn't played since their 90-50 win on December 20 against Ill-Springfield and are 1-0 in Big Ten action. The Wildcats are 6-0 SU at home and the home team is 6-0 ATS in their series. Spartans don't like the Sunday routine going 1-5 ATS in their last six at the weeks end. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

01-02-22 | UCF +4.5 v. SMU | Top | 60-72 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 12 m | Show |
Central Florida at S.M.U. 2:00 ET Knights (+) over Mustangs- Central Florida has won five-in-a-row including an 85-71 Megabucks win for 'us' last time out over Michigan. The Knights showed great poise in over-coming a 12-point second half deficit out scoring the Wolverines 53-27 over the final 15 minutes in Orlando and on the road UCF is 7-2 ATS in their last nine. SMU has won seven straight with five straight ATS wins but are just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 home games. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

01-01-22 | Warriors v. Jazz -4.5 | Top | 123-116 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
Golden State at Utah 9:10 ET Jazz (-) over Warriors- I feel like I'm going to the dentist each time I play against Golden State because I'm in fear that I will get 'drilled' by the best shooter I have ever seen and that of course is Steph Curry. I mean really how can you play against him...I know, get his teammates riled about some obscure issue and Draymond Green a great player but a rabble rouser and has his mates concerned with the rescheduling of postponed games. Meanwhile, Utah has won six straight and aims to continue their fine play against the warriors going 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
12-31-21 | Hawks +1 v. Cavs | Top | 121-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
Atlanta at Cleveland 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Cavaliers- This 'price' sticks out like I just don't know what but it drew my attention. Here is Cleveland is the best point spread team in the NBA and the Hawks are racked with COVID have lost three straight and 10-of14 and this game is a virtual pick-em. It doesn't make sense to me that the Cavaliers should be such short favorites at home against a sick team that is struggling and is 0-5 ATS in their last five trips to the Erie based city of Rock and Roll. The Cavs lost Ricky Rubio for the season with an injured ACL and fall here. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
12-31-21 | Suns v. Celtics +4.5 | Top | 108-123 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show |
Phoenix at Boston 1:00 ET Celtics (+) over Suns- The struggling Celtics have lost three in-a-row and eight of its last 11 games and are off one of the worst shooting nights in the season losing at home to Oklahoma City 115-97. Boston may be a bit short handed here as Jason Tatum is expecting to come of COVID protocol list and Marcus Smart will be ready. Phoenix has had their way ATS in Boston because for the most part previously the Suns were bad and the Celts good. Boston is 22-9-1 ATS in their last 32 games as home underdogs. Take BOSTON |
|||||||
12-30-21 | 76ers +5 v. Nets | Top | 110-102 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Brooklyn 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Nets- The Nets welcome the return of Kyrie 'Flat World' Irving and at this time any kind of warm body will do as Brooklyn has had three games postponed and have five players coming out of COVID protocol. Irving will be joining James Harden who returned last week to action. 76ers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games as road underdogs and the Nets are 1-7 ATS in their last eight home games and 0-7 ATS as home Favorites. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

12-29-21 | Mavs v. Kings +2.5 | Top | 94-95 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
Dallas at Sacramento 10:30 ET Kings (+) over Mavericks- A pair of struggling clubs both of rare wins go at it in Sacramento where the Kings will host Dallas who are off a win at Portland but had lost four of their previous five. The Kings ended their own three game slide with a 117-11 home win over the Thunder last night. The Mavericks won the first meeting in Texas 105-99 on October 31 but the Kings swept the series last year including a pair of wins at home. Take SACRAMENTO! |

12-29-21 | Tennessee +3.5 v. Alabama | Top | 68-73 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
Tennessee at Alabama 9:00 ET Volunteers (+) over Crimson Tide- SEC opener for a pair of ranked teams as No. 19 Alabama hosts No. 15 Tennessee with both clubs having posted wins over top ranked squads. Alabama has wins over then No. 1 Gonzaga and a win over No.14 Houston while the Volunteers have a win over No. 6 Arizona (Megabucks winner) last time out. The Tide is 1-2 SU last three and 0-4 ATS in their last four and the dog is 4-1 ATS in last five meetings and the Vols 5-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Take TENNESSEE! |

12-28-21 | Notre Dame v. Pittsburgh +4 | Top | 68-67 | Win | 100 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
Notre Dame at Pittsburgh 8:00 ET Panthers (+) over Fighting Irish- Pitt is bad, how bad well how about losing at home to Monmouth and The Citadel. Notre Dame is not playing with the most talent around but they showed they can play tough by beating Kentucky 66-62 at home. But the road is a different story when talking about the Irish who are 0-2 away from home and 1-6 ATS in their last seven away games. The Panthers are 5-1 ATS in their last six overall and the underdog is 10-3-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings.Take PITTSBURGH! |

Memphis at Sacramento 6:00 ET Kings (+) over Grizzlies- Both teams off losses as Memphis has dropped their last three including a 113-104 at Golden State Wednesday while Sacramento has dropped their last two including a 108-89 home loss to the Clippers on Tuesday. Stumbling, the Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in last five as favorites and Kings are not only 23-5 ATS playing with three days rest and 5-2 ATS after a double-digit loss. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Warriors v. Suns -5.5 | Top | 116-107 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 49 m | Show |
Golden State at Phoenix 5:00 ET Suns(-) over Warriors- Arguably the two best teams in the league square off here as Golden State enters Phoenix as only a half game separates the two. The Warriors are 10-4 SU on the road but juts 7-6-1 ATS while the Suns are 15-2 SU at home and 9-8 ATS. This 'number' seems a bit strong and the Warriors look inviting with the points, but they are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games as underdogs. The surprise stat is not that Golden State is No. 4 on offense but No. 1 on defense allowing just 101 PPG. Suns 5-2 ATS in their last seven games at home. Take PHOENIX! |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Arizona v. Tennessee -114 | Top | 73-77 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
Arizona at Tennessee 7:00 ET Volunteers over Wildcats- No. 6 Arizona is embarking on their longest road trip in 14 years when they face No. 19 Tennessee in Knoxville tonight and their next three games are all against PAC-12 opponents.

As favorites the Vols are also 4-1 ATS while Arizona is 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games as underdogs.

12-18-21 | Magic +1.5 v. Nets | Top | 100-93 | Win | 100 | 12 h 48 m | Show |
Orlando at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Magic (+) over Nets- The Nets are a depleted squad but Kevin Durant is making his bid for MVP as he is averaging 37.5 points over the past four games picking up the slack of all those that are absent. Orlando on the other hand is 1-14 in their last 15 but with this line being what the oddsmakers have made it tells me that the Nets are in trouble here. Brooklyn is 21-8 SU on the season but are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites including 0-6 ATS as at home. The Magic are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings including 5-1 ATS in Brooklyn. Hold your breath and take ORLANDO! |

12-17-21 | Bucks v. Pelicans +2.5 | Top | 112-116 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
Milwaukee at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Bucks- After a slow start to the season the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks have won 13 of 16 and have been playing short-handed a portion of the time. New Orleans who started the year 3-16 has now won six of their last 11 games behind Brandon Ingram who is averaging 27.9 points over the past eight games. The Bucks seem to play to the level of their competition as they are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games against teams with losing records and are 1-4 ATS as favorites and 1-5 ATS after a SU win. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Golden State at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Warriors- After breaking Ray Allen's 3-point shooting record in New York the Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry will play in Boston where Allen set his NBA record. On Monday the Celtics took down Milwaukee with the return to the lineup by Jaylen Brown ending a 3-game losing streak. Boston is 7-4 SU at home this season and are 22-9 ATS in their last 31 as home underdogs. The first place Warriors are 1-4 ATS after a SU win and 1-4 ATS in their last five games in Boston. Take the CELTICS! |

12-17-21 | St Bonaventure +3 v. Virginia Tech | Top | 49-86 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
St. Bonaventure and Virginia Tech 4:00 ET Bonnies (+) over Hokies- I can't remember the last time I posted a side in a game where St. Bonaventure was involved but it probably was when Bob Lanier was at center for the Bonnies in 1970 (and yes I was betting these games when I was at NYU). SB is looking for their second straight Atlantic-10 title and have an all senior starting lineup but lost 74-64 loss to No. 15 Connecticut last Saturday and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall. Virginia Tech after opening the season with four straight wins has lost 4-of-6 and are 0-4 ATS in their last four neutral site games while the Bonnies are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 neutral site games but are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall.

12-16-21 | 76ers v. Nets | Top | 105-114 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Brooklyn 7:30 ET 76ers (+) over Nets- With the best record in the East the Nets will host their closest challenger Philadelphia who trails Brooklyn by six-games in the loss column. The Nets were down to eight healthy bodies last time out and just relied on Kevin Durant to carry the load and he responded like a true champion (although he has never won an NBA championship. Philadelphia enters Brooklyn losing 3-of-4 with losses to Memphis and Miami after defeating Golden State on Saturday. The Nets are just 1-5 ATS after a SU win and are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
12-15-21 | Pacers v. Bucks | Top | 99-114 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
Indiana at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee just finished a four-game road trip where they defeated a pair of games against sub-500 teams and lost to a pair of clubs with winning records. Indiana is off a 102-100 loss to Golden State but have won three of their last four at home and now go on the road where they are 3-10 SU. Doesn't it seem a bit off that the Bucks would be such a meager favorite at home against a team that has struggled away from home especially against a team that they defeated 118-100 at Indiana in their last meeting and is 0-6 ATS in their last six meetings in Milwaukee. Maybe because the Bucks are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as home favorites. This is BOGUS...take the PACERS! |

Phoenix at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Suns- These two have split a pair of meetings each holding serve at home with the Suns off a loss against the Clippers in Los Angeles last night. Phoenix is playing without Devin Booker and center Deandre Ayton while the Trailblazers have lost five straight and 8-of-9. The Suns are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and are 1-5-1 ATS playing without rest while Portland is 3-0-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take PORTLAND! |

Alabama at Memphis 9:00 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- No. 6 Alabama has been good to 'us' defeating Gonzaga outright as an underdog and beating Houston but not the 'number' in a non-cover victory. Tonight is a first for the Crimson as they will be playing their first true road games of the season. Memphis in the meantime is 4-5 after having lost their last four including a 74-72 home loss to Murray State last Friday. I look for the Tigers to scratch and claw their way to a win here in this non-conference battle. Take MEMPHIS! |

Milwaukee at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee who has won 12-of-14 cruised yesterday at New York Sunday never trailing and leading buy more than 20-points in the second quarter. Boston has just returned from their West coast trip and won just one of five and should be looking forward to returning to 'Bean Town.' The Celtics played all five of those road games without All-star Jaylen Brown who returns to action tonight. The Bucks have struggled against the Celts and are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Boston and are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings. Take BOSTON! |

Villanova at Baylor 3:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Bears- A pair of Top-10 ranked cagers meet at Baylor where the No. 4 ranked Bears will host No. 6 Villanova in what should be the best college basketball game of the day. The defending National Champions are undefeated (8-0) and are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven this season. This Wildcats will be playing their third road game of the season and have yet to 'cover' and are 0-2 ATS losing at UCLA after destroying Michigan State 91-51. The Bears have had the best of it to date but have yet to play a team with this much big game experience. Take VILLANOVA! |

12-11-21 | Houston +3 v. Alabama | Top | 82-83 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
Houston at Alabama 10:00 ET Cougars (+) over Crimson Tide- No. 9 Alabama has had seven days to savor their 91-82 outright win over former No. 1 Gonzaga and now they will host No. 14 Houston who is 8-1 SU losing only to Wisconsin 65-63 while the Tide's only loss (8-1) was against Iona. The surprise out of Houston is that they are allowing just 53.4 PPG ranking No.2 in defensive scoring and on the flip side Alabama is ranked 241 allowing 71 PPG but scores 86.4 PPG ranking No. 6. Cougars are 9-3 ATS as road underdogs and get it done here. Take HOUSTON! |

Utah at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Jazz- Utah is at it again! Last season they ran of 18 straight wins and 'covered' most of those victories and now they have won six in-a-row straight-up while covering the last two on the road. The Jazz currently have the No. 2 offense with 115 PPG and are ranked No. 3 on defense at 104.4 PPG allowed. Tough numbers to beat but that's what the Wizards did twice last year against the Jazz winning both matchups. Known for their home court advantage Utah is 7-19-1 ATS against teams with winning home records and the Wiz are 5-0 ATS as home underdogs. Take WASHINGTON! |

12-10-21 | Kings v. Hornets | Top | 123-124 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
Sacramento at Charlotte 7:00 ET Kings (+) over Hornets- Seems a bit odd and very interesting that a below average team Kings that is under .500 (11-14) would be favored on the road against a plus .500 ream that is 7-4 SU at home and 7-0 ATS in their last seven. Such is the case in Charlotte where the Hornets just dropped a pair against the 76ers in back-to-backs. Sacramento has won three straight including back-to-back wins against the Clippers. What makes this 'line' even more perplexing is that the Hornets are the No. 1 scoring team in the NBA but their defense is 30th. Take SACRAMENTO. |

Iowa at Iowa State 9:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Cyclones- Iowa looking to make it five in-a-row over the Cyclones as they look to rebound from their losses to Illinois on Monday and No. 2 Purdue on Friday. Iowa State is cruising along 8-0 having posted their first true road game win in 25 tries at Creighton on Saturday. The Hawkeyes lead the series 47-27 and are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 after a SU loss. Add that the Cyclones are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 home games and the underdogs is 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take IOWA! |

Utah at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Jazz- With Philadelphia having won their last three games it bothers me that they have come up the underdog at home even against the Jazz. Utah won by 32 points last night in Minnesota and are 8-3 SU on the road. Philly has had their way against Utah and are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings including 4-0 ATS as hosts. The Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as favorites while the 76ers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Denver at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Nuggets- New Orleans started the season 3-16 and have turned turn about a bit winning four of their last seven while the Nuggets have lost eight of their last 10 and are a crew of wounded players. Denver is just 3-7 ATS as favorites including 2-6 ATS as road favorites and 2-7 ATS on the road overall. The Pelicans are 8-2 ATS as host against Denver in the last 10 meetings and are 5-2 ATS as home underdogs. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Indiana at Wisconsin 7:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Badgers- A pair of Big Ten contenders face-off in Madison where the 7-1 Badgers will host 7-1 Indiana. Wisconsin has won five straight since their home loss to Providence including wins over three previously undefeated teams in No. 12 Houston in Maui, at Georgia Tech and ripping apart Marquette while shooting 70.4% in the second have of their 89-76 victory. Indiana is 0-1 in true road games and have lost 10 consecutive games at the Kohl Center but the Hoosiers average 80.4 PPG and the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take INDIANA! |

12-07-21 | Nets v. Mavs +4 | Top | 102-99 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Dallas 7:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Nets- Brooklyn who has yet to lose back-to-back games as 14-4 SU in their last 18 and have played better on the road than and home. Only 8-5 at home the Nets take well to the road and are 8-2 SU as visitors. Dallas has had a rough go of late losing four of five as both Porzingis and Doncic are ailing and guard Tim Hardaway Jr. is questionable for tonight's action. ATS numbers on both side are weak but the Mavs are 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take DALLAS! |

Texas Tech vs Tennessee 7:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Volunteers- This should be a good early season matchup as both clubs are 6-1 AU and 4-3 ATS with both clubs coming off their first true road games of the season. The Vols had better fortune coming from behind to win at Colorado while the Red Raiders blew a lead a Providence and fell 72-68. This game is at Madison Square Garden and Texas Tech is 4-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs and although Tennessee is 4-1 ATS as neutral site favorites they are 2-7 ATS after a ATS win. Take TEXAS TECH! |

Denver at Chicago 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Bulls- Both clubs are off successful trips to New York with the Bulls winning a pair at Brooklyn and Madison Square Garden and Denver off our 'Money Game' win over the Knicks on Saturday. Billy Donovan has Chicago playing at a much higher level this season then in recent past the are protecting the home floor going 8-3 ATS as home favorites and are 16-5 ATS as favorites overall. But, the Nuggets are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings and 5-1 ATS in their last six trips to Chicago. Take DENVER! |

The Clippers just ended a 3-game losing streak with a win over the Lakers in a game where Paul George turned his ankle. Los Angeles is 1-6 ATS after a SU win and 0-4 ATS with no rest. Kings player are said to have more say under Gentry and we'll see if it make a difference tonight. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Syracuse at Florida State 4:00 ET Seminoles (-) over Orange- Syracuse enters its ACC opener after a huge double-overtime win over Indiana after getting blown out by Auburn in their previous game. The Orange (4-3) are led by a clan of Boeheim's as Buddy and Jimmy Boeheim scored a combined 53 points against the Hoosiers. Florida State is off a loss to the No.2 team in the nation getting trounced by Purdue 93-65 and now the Seminoles come up strong favorites in their conference opener. The Orange defense is one of the worst in the nation surrendering 82 PPG ranking 345th. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:30 ET 76ers (+) over Hawks- Some will have to give here as the Hawks host Philadelphia Friday night. Atlanta who is still looking to get their footing this season at 12-10 are 8-3 SU at home and are 7-3 ATS while Philadelphia is playing better on the road then in past seasons going 7-4-1 ATS. In the past the 76ers would just mail it in when in Atlanta and are 2-7 ATS ij the last nine meetings in Georgia. But, with the return of Joel Embiid form COVID the Sixers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five road games. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Cincinnati at Miami-Ohio 7:00 ET Red Hawks (+) over Bearcats- With all the attention on Cincinnati directed toward the football field the Bearcats basketball team is yearning for some attention. The Bearcats opened the season with five straight wins and have now dropped their last two losing to No. 13 Arkansas in Kansas City and then shocked by Monmouth-NJ (+11) 61-59. Miami-O also started the year 5-0 but dropped their last contest at Western Illinois 79-67 their first road game of the season. Now, back home with the Cats playing their first true road game...take MIAMI-OHIO! |

Duke at Ohio State 9:30 ET Buckeyes (+) over Blue Devils- Duke took the main stage in Las Vegas playing before the state of Nevada's record crowd for a basketball game (20,389) against No. 1 Gonzaga Friday night. The Bulldogs were undefeated and coming off a thrashing of No. 2 UCLA in Las Vegas Tuesday night. Ohio State hasn't been so fortunate dropping two of three including a 71-68 loss to No. 23 Florida on a 3-point buzzer-beater. Although Duke is 19-3 in the Challenge the Buckeyes are 9-11 defeating North Carolina and Notre Dame the last two events. OSU is 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs. Take OHIO STATE! |

Golden State at L.A. Clippers 3:30 ET Clippers (+) over Warriors- I don't know about 'you' but I just love to watch Golden State with Stephen Curry play basketball. Currently the Warriors winners of six straight have the best record in the NBA and 17-2 is very impressive but maybe even more so is that they are 14-4-1 ATS. Clippers have been a bit inconsistent but play well against the Warriors going 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and are 4-1 ATAS as home dogs. Take CLIPPERS! |

11-27-21 | Knicks +5.5 v. Hawks | Top | 99-90 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
New York at Atlanta 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Hawks- last season both Atlanta and New York exceeded expectations and met in the NBA opening round of the playoffs with the Knicks the Number 4 seed and the Hawks No. 5. Atlanta took out New York in that series and a great deal is expected of them both this year. The Knicks jumped out to a 5-1 start and are just 5-8 since while the Hawks lost nine of their first 13 and are 6-1 since. Although the Knicks are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings they are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games in Atlanta. Take NEW YORK! |

Oklahoma vs Central Florida 2:00 ET Knights over Sooners- Under coach Johnny Dawkins Central Florida is 4-0 for the first time in four years and will be hosting a 5-1 Oklahoma team playing their first true road game. Being on the road is a place the Sooners would rather not be as they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games overall and 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games as favorites. The Knights are 4-1 as underdogs and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

11-26-21 | Celtics v. Spurs +4 | Top | 88-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
Boston at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Celtics- I just don't think these Boston Celtics are all that good or they are so underachieving that they can only get better but I don't think so. It is said that 'numbers never lie...but they can be very misleading' and still provide valuable information. The Celtics seem happy with just loping down court and throwing out the first 3-point opportunity they come across without a thought of concern for rebound positing or defensive position as they are now defenseless. Spurs need good effort and Boston is the perfect visitor as they are just 1-4 ATS in San Antonio and 5-16-1 ATS in the last 22 meetings overall. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

11-24-21 | Ohio State +2 v. Florida | Top | 68-71 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 20 m | Show |
Ohio State vs Florida 8:30 ET Buckeyes (+) over Gators- No. 23 undefeated Florida (4-0) takes on 4-1 Ohio State in the Beach Division Championship Game in the Fort Myers Tip-off. The Gators just had a walk-over game cruising 80-60 over California to get here with the Buckeyes showing toughness in their 79-76 win over No. 21 Seton Hall. OSU is 8-5 over the Gators in their 13 series meetings and I like the team that hard the tougher road to the finals. Take OHIO STATE! |

L.A. Lakers at Indiana 7:00 ET Lakers (+) over Pacers- According to the oddsmakers the Lakers are the 'bettor' choice' to win the NBA Championship and I think it's time for them to re-think their position. This is a team that is 4-7 without Lebron James on the floor and look totally directionless without the 'King.' If this is who Los Angeles is without James it just should establish that he is the MVP or at least 'Most Impact-full Person'. James returns tonight and adds the stability needed to rein in Westbrook's inconsistent play. Take the LAKERS! |

Dallas at L.A. Clippers 3:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Clippers- These two met two days ago and the Clippers eked out a 97-71 win over the Mavericks for the cover. This time round Los Angeles still will be without Kawhi Leonard and they are a totally different team without him. This is the Clippers seventh game in nine days and Luca Doncic will be back for the Mavericks after a three game absence and he will be the difference. Take DALLAS! |

Virginia and Providence 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Friars- Virginia who is not far removed from their National Title has won six tournaments in their last seven November tourney championships one of which came over Providence. The Friars are undefeated (5-0) but are 3-4 lifetime against Virginia and are just 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games on neutral sites including 0-5 Ats as neutral site favorites. Despite the Cavaliers struggling of late as they are1-4 AST in the last five at neutral sites they game the money here. Take VIRGINIA! |

Dallas at L.A. Clippers 3:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Clippers- The last time these two met was in the opening round of the NBA Playoff last season and Dallas jumped out to a 2-0 lead before falling in seven game to the Kawhi Leonard led Clippers. This time round Los Angeles will be without Leonard and they are a totally different team without him. This is the Clippers fifth game in seven days and fatigue set in on Friday getting outscored 22-12 in the final quarter. Luca Doncic will be back for the Mavericks after a two game absence and he will be the difference. Take DALLAS! |

11-19-21 | Pacers +2 v. Hornets | Top | 118-121 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
Indiana at Charlotte 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Hornets- Indiana is finishing a 3-game road trip and they are 2-8 SU in their 10 road games thus far this season going 4-6 ATS while the Hornets are 5-2 SU and ATS at home. But, I expect Charlotte to have a bit of a let down after defeating a pair of division leaders in Golden State and Washington in back-to-back games. The Pacers are 10-2 ATS when playing a team with a winning record and 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs. Take INDIANA! |

11-17-21 | Michigan State v. Butler +3.5 | Top | 73-52 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
Michigan State at Butler 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Spartans- Both of these schools have a rich basketball history with Michigan State being more renown having won a number of national championships but the Butler Bulldogs on a smaller scale has had achieved many accolades throughout their history. The Spartans opened the season at Madison Square Garden against Kansas and hung tough for the first half and then fell to the Jayhawks 87-74 but they won their home opener 90-46 over Western Michigan. Butler is 3-0 having won three home games against lesser competition and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as home underdogs while the Spartans are 4-13 ATS as road favorites. Take BUTLER! |

11-15-21 | Pelicans +3.5 v. Wizards | Top | 100-105 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 20 m | Show |
New Orleans at Washington 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Wizards- After starting 3-9 last season the Wizards have been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA at 9-3 this year. New Orleans ended a nine game losing streak with their first home win (1-6) of the season defeating Memphis 112-101 with the return of Brandon Ingram and he must be the difference as Washington opened a meager 3-point favorite. I expect that number to rise as well as the Pelicans stock after tonight win on the road. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Golden State at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Warriors- Golden State is the NBA's best at 11-1 and lead the league in scoring with 116.2 ppg led by Stephen Curry's 28.4 ppg. Charlotte is at the other end in defense ranked dead last surrendering 116 ppg and yet are 7-7 SU and ATS this season. This is a homecoming for Curry and their should be a full house in attendance with the Panthers on the road. The trends are all one-sided as is the money wagered pointing toward the Warriors...but not tonight. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Memphis at New Orleans 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Grizzlies- The 1-12 Pelicans have now dropped nine straight games but did get the 'cover' last night (+9) losing to the Nets 120-112 braking a five-game non-cover streak. Memphis has lost their last two at home and take to the road where they are 2-3 SU. The Grizzlies have struggled against the Pelicans going 0-6 ATS in the last six meetings and 0-4 ATS in New Orleans with or without Zion Williamson. Surprisingly, New Orleans is 0-6 SU at home but is 6-1 ATS playing with no rest and get the money here. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Central Florida at Miami-Fl 1:00 ET Knights (+) over Hurricanes- Miami coach Jim Larranaga are looking to improve upon a disappointing 2020-21 season by using the transfer protocol adding four 'new' players and the return of a number of injured players from last year. Central Florida unlike the Hurricanes bring back almost all their scoring and playing time from an 11-12 club last season. They have added 6-11 transfer Cheikh Mbacke who was team captain last season and he started with five blocked shots in the Knights opening victory over Robert Morris. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

Phoenix at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Suns- Phoenix who started the year 1-3 have reeled off six straight wins and five straight ATS wins take to the road after playing 6-of-7 at home and are playing outside the PT zone for the first time this season. Memphis has wins over the Clippers, Warriors and twice over the Nuggets but haven't been able to string wins back-to-back. The Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS after a double-digit loss at home and the Suns are 1-4 ATS as road underdogs. Take MEMPHIS! |

Miami at L.A. Clippers 10:40 ET Heat (+) over Clippers- After a slow start the Clippers have won five straight and are off a 117-109 victory over Portland last night while Miami fell in OT to the undermanned Lakers. Not a long trip for the Heat who are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings and 4-9 ATS at LA. But this is a tough Miami team that truly has grit and is 5-0 ATS on zero days rest and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games. Take MIAMI! |

The start here with a win against the Bulls who they have dropped their last three games against. The Mavericks are warming up to Jason Kidd at the helm and are ready to break through as underdogs (0-5 ATS L-5). Luka Doncic can dominate the floor here. Take DALLAS! |

Kentucky vs. Duke 9:30 ET Wildcats over Blue Devils- This one tips off the college basketball season at Madison Square Garden between No. 9 Duke and No. 10 Kentucky as both schools are seeking bounce back seasons. Neither club make to the NCAA tourney last season as the Wildcats finished 9-16 and the Blue Devils 13-11 but were denied a spot because of a rash of COVID infections. Coach Mike Krzyzewski enters his 42nd and final season at Duke (47 total) and is no stranger to playing at MSG but will follow this contest with five straight at home while the Wildcats will play their next seven games in Lexington. Kentucky has added three transfer players from West Virginia, Davidson and Georgia and their previous experience should be the difference. Take KENTUCKY! |

Atlanta at Golden State 10:00 ET Hawks (+) over Warriors- The gleam and shine from last season's playoff run by the Hawks seems to have faded during the off season as they are off to a 4-6 start and just 3-7 ATS. Golden State seems to gained their previous form leading the NBA with an 8-1 record and are 5-1 SU going 3-0-1 ATS in their last four. This will be their sixth straight home game after such a long stay at home a ream can become a bit stale. Atlanta has dropped 5-of-6 SU and 6-of-7 ATS but are ready to breakout as they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five at Golden State. Take ATLANTA! |

Indiana at Sacramento 6:00 ET Pacers (+) over Kings- The price of this game has me a little miffed as 5-4 Sacramento and off a pair home wins and 'covers' with the last one by 30-points is hosting the 3-7 Pacers who are 0-5 on the road and yet the Kings are favored by less than a field goal. Add that Indiana is 1-4 ATS in their last five trips to Sacramento makes this even more intriguing. One more strange thing about this Kings squad is that they are not playing Marvin Bagley III who is not listed on the injury list and has played in just one game for 10 minutes scoring only two points. That's more time than Ben Simmons but the Kings are supposedly trying to trade him. Take INDIANA! |

11-05-21 | Knicks +4 v. Bucks | Top | 113-98 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
New York at Milwaukee 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Bucks- New York has gone from the No. 1 defensive team to the bottom third of the pack and I believe that it can all be attributed to the addition of defensively challenged Kemba Walker. The Knicks have dropped their last two while Milwaukee just ended a 3-game slide with a win at Detroit as they deal with a rash of injuries and COVID prodigals. Now, the Knicks throw up 3-point attempts with the best of them and are No. 2 in scoring averaging 113 ppg. Look for New York who is 15-7 ATS in their last 22 road games while Milwaukee is 6-2 ATS as home favorites. The Bucks stops here! Take the KNICKS! |

Utah at Atlanta 7:20 ET Hawks (+) over Jazz- Atlanta started quick with wins in 3 of their first 4 and have mw dropped 3-of-4 including a loss at Brooklyn last night while the Jazz are 6-1 with their only loss coming at Chicago against the then unbeaten Bulls. The trends are difficult to argue with and Utah has all the numbers on their side but Atlanta is an 'upstart' and Hawks have claws too. Take ATLANTA! |

New Orleans at Sacramento 10:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Kings- How about those Pelicans they can lay-down with the best of them as they did last night at one point leading by 20-points and falling by 12 with an 11-point-spread. Much has been expected of Sacramento this season but without Marvin Bagley who is out of the playing rotation.Sacramento also blew a 20-point lead at Utah last night but a least got the money so tonight, we'll play against them. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Miami at Dallas 7:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Heat- Miami is off to a 5-1 start and are looking to establish themselves as the best team in the East as they are the NBA's top defensive club holding opponents to 97 points per game while scoring 114 ppg which ranks them No. 3 on offense and those are tough stats to overcome. Dallas is 3-0 at home although their only 'cover' came Sunday night against the Kings. Like most 'Unicorns' Kristaps Porzingis is rarely seen and has missed the Mavericks last three games while the Heat's Bam Adebayo missed Saturday's win with a bruised knee. I can't support my side with trends as it's all Miami. Still. Take DALLAS! |

Chicago at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics over Bulls- Chicago who is tied with five other teams with the best record (5-1) in the NBA rebounded like champs with a win over Utah after being handed their first loss by New York. Boston at 2-4 is 0-2 at home and host the Bulls after back-to-back losses to Washington. Now, Chicago hits the road in a spot they have always struggled in Bean Town going 1-5 ATS in their last six and 4-12 ATS overall in the last 16 meetings. They need a win take BOSTON! |

Portland at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Trailblazers- Okay, the streak should end here. Portland has posted two straight home wins over the Grizzlies and the Clippers and leave the west for the first time to play in Charlotte where the Hornets return after 2-game Florida road trip ending in Miami with a 114-99 loss to the Heat. The Blazers have a solid history against the Hornets and are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings but this 'Waspy' club has a different sting. Hornets are 5-1 after an ATS loss and 16-5 ATS after a SU loss of more then 10 points...take CHARLOTTE! |

Utah at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Jazz- Utah is the lone undefeated team in the NBA at 4-0 but all good things must come to an end as the 4-1 Bulls rebound from their 1-point loss to the Knicks to be the last team to fall from the unbeaten ranks. The Jazz are not only 4-0 SU but ATS as well as defense has been the key allowing just 97 ppg. Chicago's defense is nothing to scoff at as they rank fourth allowing just 98.8 ppg. Although Utah's road record as favorites is impressive (6-1 ATS in last seven they are just 5-16-1 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and the Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games. Take CHICAGO! |

Memphis at Golden State 10:10 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- These two met in the NBA's inaugural Play-in tournament last May and the Grizzlies eliminated the Warriors with a 117-112 win and they went on to lose to Utah 4-1 in the first round. Although Memphis is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 meetings at Golden State most of that damage was done before the arrival of Ja Morant. This season the Grizzlies are actually outscoring the Warriors and are third in the league at 166.5 ppg and they are 9-4 ATS as road underdogs. Take MEMPHIS! |

Washington at Boston 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Celtics- It appears that less-Westbrook is more. After a disastrous 2019-20 season the Wizards have started the 2020-21 season 2-1 without Russell Westbrook on the team. Boston opened the year with consecutive losses but have rebounded with a pair of wins and return to TS Garden where they suffered their worst home loss since March 2007 bowing to the Raptors 115-83. Washington is a better balanced team without Westbrook as they had six players ij double-figures in their lone loss but shot only 37% falling to Brooklyn on Monday. Wizards are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings and are 6-1 after an ATS loss and get the money here. Take WASHINGTON! |

Denver at Utah 10:00 ET Jazz (-) over Nuggets- A great matchup in the West has Denver (1-0 on the road) visiting Utah (1-0 at home) clashing in a pair of playoff teams that met in the playoff bubble in 2020 when Denver rallied to win after falling behind 3-1 in the series. But in Salt Lake City the series takes a different turn as the Jazz are 12-4 ATS when hosting in Utah and the Nuggets are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 overall when underdogs. Utah is No. 1 on defense with 93.5 points allowed and the Nuggets struggle getting to the hoop ranking 26th scoring under a 100 points per game. The Jazz are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites and 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Take UTAH! |

Portland at L.A. Clippers 10:40 ET Clippers (-) over Trailblazers- The Clippers without Kawhi Leonard have yet to post a win this season having lost to the Warriors and Grizzlies while Portland posted a huge win for us (Money Game) Saturday night over Phoenix. This is the first road game of the season for the Trailblazers and they lead the NBA in scoring after two games averaging 127.5 points and are ranked No. 2 in FG percentage (all at home). Portland is 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings and 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings in Los Angeles. Take the CLIPPERS! |

Brooklyn at Milwaukee 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Bucks- So to start the NBA season we the defending NBA Champions playing at home in a virtual Pick-em situation and in most circumstances that would seem a bit odd but the Bucks opponent here is the heralded Brooklyn Nets who have as much fire-power as any team in the NBA. The Nets of course will be without mental case Kyrie (Drama Queen) Irving who has fallen off one of the sides of the flat planet earth and believe it or not Brooklyn will better off without him as his playing ability which is immense is just not worth the constant distractions. The Bucks have had the best of the Nets but this is a fresh start to a new season. Take BROOKLYN! |

Phoenix at Milwaukee 9:00 ET Bucks (-) over Suns- Well, well, well...it took a real 'pressure' game for the true Chris Paul to show up like the CP we are used to seeing when it counts. Phoenix had the best road record in the NBA going 24-12 SU during the regular season but they are facing a Bucks team that is 9-1 at home during the Playoffs. From what I've seen the 'Greek Freak' has just taken over the in side game both offensively and defensively and he is just too strong inside when he has the ball and manages to dish the ball off for teammates easy buckets. Always a danger of the desperate Suns coming in under the 'number' but I don't believe this one will even be that close. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Milwaukee at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee was once again down 0-2 in a playoff series as they were against Brooklyn and Atlanta are now facing the Suns who have lost two straight for the first time in the playoffs. for the first time since 1993 and are on the brink of their first NBA Championship. The Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo is back in action but hasn't received the support from his mates on the road that are needed to win. The home team has dominated this series and a tight game is in the cards. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Milwaukee at Phoenix 9:00 ET Bucks (+) over Suns- Okay, guys and gals, many of my peers were taken back when I released Phoenix in Game 1 as I am for the most part looking for an underdog that can win the game. Now, when I post the Bucks in Game two I will hear 'Oh, the zig-sag', well it might seem that way and it works often enough but Milwaukee has responded throughout the playoffs this far when you would least expect it. I still can't figure out how a player can be named MVP twice in consecutive seasons and yet is a liability during crunch time in the biggest games. Defense yes, rebounding yes, and assists yes, but 3-point and free throw shooting are a terrible no-no. Still, an MVP responds here. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Milwaukee at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (-) over Bucks- Milwaukee defied the odds at Atlanta ion Game 6 with the 'Freak' but are up against them again Tuesday as they are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as underdogs and 13-27-1 in their last 41 as playoff underdogs. The 'number' behind the Suns are almost too good...almost. But, they are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 overall and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 as playoff favorites. I'm not worried about matchup or who's on the court really what I like is that the Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings at home. Take PHOENIX! |

Phoenix at LA Clippers 9:00 ET Clippers (+) over Suns- here we go again with the Clippers who have become so predictable I can't wait for their next game and only wish that his was a Best of 21 series. It's simple, go down 0-2 and then make a series out of it it's what they do! L.A.'s Paul 'Playoff P' George finally had a game that counted going 15-of-20 from the floor with 13 rebounds as the Suns just couldn't keep pace. Phoenix still has plenty of room only having to win one of the next two but they are some are only 2-10 ATS at LA with one of those 'covers' coming in Game 4 their 84-40 victory! I look for the Clippers to extend the series to seven games and expect an easy win here. Tale LOS ANGELES! |

Milwaukee at Atlanta 8:30 ET Bucks (-) over Hawks- I've been led to believe that in the long run the 'cream will rise to the top' and I'm thinking that is what is happening in this series. Atlanta jumped out to a 1-0 lead by catching the Bucks unprepared for the Hawks high flying offense but have made the necessary adjustments in Games 2 and 3 holding Atlanta to 25 points less in Game 2 than in Game 1 and 14 points below that number in Atlanta in Game 3. I stated half jokingly that after the way Brooklyn blew out Milwaukee in the first two games of that series that I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucks came back and won it...and they did and 'we' did cash-in. Trae Young is questionable and that may be the death nil for the Hawks. Take MILWAUKEE! |

LA Clippers at Phoenix 9:00 ET Clippers over Suns- Chris Paul is on the brink of playing in his first NBA Finals after 15 frustrating years of falling short as Phoenix needs but one more win to enter their first Championship round since 1993. Los Angeles is still without 2-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and Paul 'Playoff P' George depicts the adage 'Statistics never lie but they can be very misleading.' Although leading the Clippers with 23 points last time out he was 5-of-20 from the floor and 1-of-9 from 3-point range before fouling out and was also charged with a technical foul. In Game 3 he once again was LA's leading scorer but was 9-of-26 with six turnovers. But, with the Clippers on the edge of elimination they will scrape and claw until the final horn. Take LOS ANGELES! |
