Houston at Golden State 5:00 ET Warriors (+) over Rockets- This is going to be the NBA's 'gift' to the Warriors for all the greatness they have bestowed upon us in recent season. This year of course they are being taken to the would shed night in and night out as they have won just seven of 31 games to date. But, Christmas is here and the NBA is very giving.

They are expecting Gordon Hayward to return soon The Celtics certainly have the odds makers respect as they are forced on the road against the reigning NBA Champions. We all thought that the loss of Kawhi Leonard would have a defeating impact of the Raptors season...well, not so fast. Toronto is 21-9 and 5-1 ATS in their last six and 5-1-2 ATS in their last eight as a home dog! Raptors would love to even the season series having lost at Boston 112-106 in October. Take TORONTO! |

Houston who has won their last two on the road and are 4-1 ATS in their last five away from home but are still just 3-5 ATS in their last eight games. The Kings are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 as an underdog and 9-3 ATS following a straight-up loss. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Miami has had their way with the league to date this season going 13-4 ATS as a favorite and 12-3-1 ATS at home while the Jazz are just 2-7 ATS in their last seven as a road underdog. But, Utah is hot and are 4-1 ATS in the last five visits to Miami. Take the JAZZ! |

Toronto at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (-) over Raptors- 'There is something rotten in Denmark.' Toronto is coming off of their biggest comeback win in Franchise history as they roared back from a 30-point deficit against Dallas Sunday scoring 47 points (yep 47 points) in the fourth quarter. Now, the Raptors take to the road where they are 8-5 SU and just 2-5 ATS as a road underdog. This is the second of back-to-back games and Indiana is 9-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games as home favorites. Take INDIANA! |

L.A. Clippers at Oklahoma City 7:05 ET Thunder (+) over Clippers- Oklahoma City opened the season 5-10 but have turned things around since going 9-4 SU and a win here will lift them over .500. Los Angeles is coming off of a 134-109 win at San Antonio last night and there is always a question as to whether Kawhi Leonard will play or not in the second of back-to-backs. The Clippers are 7-2 in their last nine games as favorites but they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games at OKC and the Thunder are 8-3 in their last 11 as an underdog. Take the THUNDER! |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Rockets v. Suns +6.5 | 139-125 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Houston at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Rockets- Last I looked Houston was getting pummeled by the Clippers and then the second half started and the Rockets blasted off outscoring LA by 18 points in the third quarter. Knowing the Rockets as I believe I do I fully expect them to rest on their laurels and take this game against the Suns for granted. But, Phoenix is an explosive team that can match points with the high scoring Rockets. The Suns average 118.6 points and get the cash here. Take PHOENIX! |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Clippers v. Spurs +6 | Top | 134-109 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Clippers- What happened the other night? When I tuned in the Clippers had a huge double-digit 15-point halftime lead over the Rockets and then completely fell apart in the 3rd quarter getting out-scored by 18 points and committing number technicals down the stretch. San Antonio climbs back to .500 and has won five of their last eight and are doing it with defense which they play much better at home where they are 73-14 lifetime over the Clippers. Take the SPURS! |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Hawks +7.5 v. Nets | 112-122 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Brooklyn 6:00 ET Hawks (+) over Nets- The Hawks fly high without playing defense and are just 6-23 SU but a decent 13-16 ATS. Brooklyn has won the last six meetings but are still without Kyrie Irving and his absence is beginning to show as the Nets weak links are becoming more visible although they are 11-6 without the 'World is Flat' genius. Atlanta is 1-10 SU in their last 11 road games but catch the Nets here. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
12-20-19 | Magic +4.5 v. Blazers | 103-118 | Loss | -111 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Orlando at Portland 10:00 ET Magic (+) over Trailblazers- Both Orlando and Portland are 12-16 and both (especially the Blazers) have been a disappointment so far this season. The Magic just haven't been able to close out games blowing leads in each of their last two contests losing to Denver and Utah in the final minutes. The Trailblazers who make it to the Conference Finals last season are just not the same this year and they have in reality given up on the season after the signing of Carmelo Anthony who can only help his individual stats but rarely helps a team win. Take the MAGIC! |
|||||||
12-20-19 | Mavs v. 76ers -8 | Top | 117-98 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 19 m | Show |
Dallas at Philadelphia 8:00 ET 76ers (-) over Mavericks- Philadelphia was handed their first home loss to Miami Wednesday and it was their second consecutive after getting blown out at Brooklyn 109-89. Critics were on Joel Embiid's case a week ago and he responded with a dominating performance at Boston in a 115-109 victory. Since then Embiid has become pedestrian once agin. Dallas who has been outstanding on the road going 10-1 ATS in their last 11 and is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Mavericks once again will be without Super-Star Luca Doncic and his absence will be felt here. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
12-20-19 | Grizzlies v. Cavs +2.5 | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Memphis at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Grizzlies- How can I do it? How can I possibly come back with the Cavaliers after they blow a 24-point third quarter lead in their non-cover win over Charlotte on Wednesday. Memphis like the Cavs blew their own 24-point lead Wednesday and ended up losing the game to Oklahoma City 126-122. But, with Kevin Love back in the lineup Cleveland has a strong inside game paired with Tristen Thompson that can control the game inside the paint. The Cavaliers won both meetings at home last season and can get it done here. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
12-19-19 | Lakers v. Bucks -4 | Top | 104-111 | Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show |
L.A. Lakers at Milwaukee Bucks (-) over Lakers- This is like an old fashion shoot-out between the fastest 'guns' in the West. Both the Lakers and Bucks share the NBA's best record at 24-4 and have been denominate doing it. He funny thing about this matchup is that with all that winning both clubs are coming off of a loss. Milwaukee had an 18-game win streak ended by Dallas 120-110 and look to rebound here against LA. The Lakers got ambushed at Indiana 106-102 (Megabucks winner) and will be without Anthony Davis to night and Kyle Kuzma and Rondo are still out. Love LeBron but I am part Greek so go with the 'Freak.' Take MILWAUKEE! |

Utah at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Jazz- Atlanta now has the worse record in the East after getting pounded by the Knicks of all clubs and have won only six of 28 games overall and are on a five-game losing streak. Utah has recovered from a dismal road trip and have won four of five SU but are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win. The Hawks on the other hand are 6-2 after an ATS loss. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
12-18-19 | Heat v. 76ers -7.5 | 108-104 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
Miami at Philadelphia 7:35 ET 76ers (-) over Heat- A pair of the more powerful NBA squads square off in Philadelphia where the 76ers remain the lone undefeated (13-0) team when they host Miami tonight. The storyline for tonight's game will not only be the status of Joel Embiid but the return of Jimmy Butler who has become the Heat's team leader. Embiid has three straight double-doubles before sitting out Sunday's loss at Brooklyn. It should be noted the Heat are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against clubs with winning home records and the 76ers are 10-4 following a SU loss. Take the 76ERS! |

Charlotte at Cleveland 7:05 ET Cavaliers over Hornets- Cleveland just finished a six game road trip with one win and fell to five of the toughest teams in the NBA losing to Philadelphia, Boston, Houston, Milwaukee and Toronto with their lone win at San Antonio. Charlotte is 6-1 ATS when playing teams on the road with a losing home record but the Hornets are ranked 26th in NBA rebounding differential at minus 2.9. But, the Cavs come up favored here as they are 12-4-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings and 5-2-1 in as hosts. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
12-18-19 | Raptors v. Pistons +3.5 | Top | 112-99 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
Toronto at Detroit 7:05 ET Pistons (+) over Raptors- I question why this line is so low when we are aware that the Pistons two big guns Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin are day-to-day. Okay, so Toronto is 15-6 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite while Detroit is 6-15-1 ATS as an underdog but the Raptors are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Piston have responded after a poor performance going 5-1 ATS after an ATS loss. In a surprise the Pistons get it done tonight. Take DETROIT! |

Orlando at Utah 9:00 ET Magic (+) over Jazz- The Magic have been hanging on tight the past three weeks without All-Star center Nikola Vucevic and with his return Sunday they scored a season high 130 points against the Pelicans. Although Utah is 13-4 SU against the Magic they are just 2-5 ATS as hosts in the last seven meetings and Orlando is 5-0 ATS in their last five road games overall and add that Utah is 0-4 ATS after scoring 100 or more points the previous game. Take the MAGIC! |
|||||||
12-17-19 | Nets v. Pelicans +2.5 | Top | 108-101 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
Brooklyn at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Nets- Defense is the key to the Pelicans 12-game losing streak as they don't play much of it allowing 121.4 points per contest as they await the debut of Zion Williamson. Brooklyn on the other end of the perspective just took down Philadelphia 109-89 and their defense was the focal point of their victory. The Nets are 10-5 SU without Kyrie (The World is Flat) Irving and 4-7 with him so it's 'addition by subtraction.' Although Brooklyn is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall they are just 3-8 ATS after winning a game by more than ten points. Take NEW OREANS! |

12-17-19 | Lakers v. Pacers +4.5 | 102-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Lakers- Los Angeles is 3-0 on this road trip and have won 13 straightway from home and their last seven overall. Indiana is on a 3-game win streak of their own and are 11-3 SU at home. As a matter of fact the Pacers have defeated the Lakers six straight times at home and LA hasn't won there since March 2013. The Lakers Kyle Kuzma has missed the last three games and most likely will be sidelined for this encounter as well. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
12-16-19 | Heat v. Grizzlies +4.5 | Top | 111-118 | Win | 101 | 9 h 54 m | Show |
Miami at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Heat- Along with Dallas the Miami Heat have been one of the more pleasant surprises in the NAB this season currently at 19-7 they invade Memphis where the 7-19 Grizzlies will they and win their four game in five tries. Miami is off of an overtime 122-118 win at Dallas after falling to the Lakers the night before (Friday). Considering the records of these two I believe that this 'line' is a bit short and the Book-makers are looking to take all of the Heat action they can get. Here is Miami 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and 10-4 as a road favorite and yet are such a meager favorite here. It appears that injuries to the Heat's starting line-up will take its toll here as the Grizzlies younger player begin to mature. Take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
12-16-19 | Cavs +12.5 v. Raptors | 113-133 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Toronto 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Raptors- Toronto opened with a 9-0 home winning streak but have dropped three straight to the Heat, Rockets and Clippers and still are 11-4 ATS in their in last 15 games as a home favorite. Despite this trends the Cavaliers even without LeBron James have given the Raptors fits at time going 15-5-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings including 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 trips to Toronto. Take CLEVELAND! |

12-16-19 | Wizards +5.5 v. Pistons | 133-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
Washington at Detroit 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Pistons- Washington enters this contest losers of their last four and are 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall. The Pistons who are off of an outright win at Houston Saturday have won 3-of-4 and five of their last seven games but are not healthy entering this contest. Blake Griffin sat out the second half of their win Saturday and Andre Drummond has an eye infection. Although the Pistons have a decent ATS record as a home favorite they are 2-7-1 ATS following a win. Take WASHINGTON! |

12-15-19 | Kings v. Warriors +4 | 100-79 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
Sacramento at Golden State 8:30 ET Warriors (+) over Kings- I guess turn-about is fair play as the Warriors who have had the best record in the NBA year after year are now at the bottom of the heap with the league's worst record. Today, Golden State will host the Kings a team that they have dominated in the recent past winning all four meetings last season and five straight in the series overall. But, this season it appears that these two have reversed roles with the Kings 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games overall and the Warriors struggling at home going 2-7 ATS in their last nine as hosts. But State is 4-1 ATS as a home underdog and 7-3 ATS after a SU loss. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

12-15-19 | Knicks +11 v. Nuggets | 105-111 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
New York at Denver 8:00 ET Knicks (+) over Nuggets- 'Break-up the Knicks...after a pair of 2-point road wins at Golden State and Sacramento New York under their new coach Mike Miller have shown some life on a squad that has been dormant for eons. Denver who touted the Knicks by 37-points in New York 10 days ago returned home to post a pair of wins over Portland and OKC and are 4-1 ATS as a home favorite in their last five. The Knicks have struggled against the Nuggets going 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Still, the Knicks have a fresh outlook and get the money here. Take NEW YORK! |

Philadelphia at Brooklyn 6:00 ET Nets (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia is now 14-0 at home and have won five straight and 9-of-10 and 13 of their last 15 contests. Brooklyn who is 9-5 without Kyrie Irving have dropped two straight for the first time since his absence are coming off of one of their worst shooting nights of the season at Toronto. Although the Sixers are off of a huge win at Boston they are just 1-5-1 ATS as a road favorite and on the other hand the Nets are 4-0 ATS as a home underdog and are 7-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take BROOKLYN! |

12-14-19 | Pistons +6.5 v. Rockets | 115-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Detroit at Houston 9:00 ET Pistons (+) over Rockets- Listen I understand that the Pistons are a major project but I still believe that Houston is one of the most over-rated team in the league and when they get to the playoffs it will be the same old story. The trends behind Detroit are ugly as they are 1-6-1 as a road dog in their last eight tries and are 2-13-1 ATS against a team with a winning record but the Rockets are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. Houston is 20-42 ATS after having scored 125 or more points the previous game and are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings including 0-4 ATS at home. Take DETROIT! |

L.A. Clippers at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Clippers- Chicago was a beaten home favorite last night and they get a chance tonight to get the money as a home dog where they are 4-0 ATS in their last four games. Los Angeles of course is contending and have won four straight going 4-0 ATS in their last four as favorites. I imagine that the Clippers are gong to try a little loan management tonight as this is there second of back-to-back contests and their three road games in four nights. Taker CHICAGO! |

San Antonio at Phoenix 6:00 ET Spurs (+) over Suns- We must be careful here as San Antonio is just a 'shell of their former selves' but seem to be putting things together. The Suns are sitting at home ready for their third straight home game while San Antonio takes to the road after three straight home games. Phoenix is just 12-26 ATS at home against teams with losing records and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and just 2-5 ATS in their last seven as home favorites. Take the SPURS! |

Tonight, the Clippers are in Minnesota where the Timberwolves are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games. As a matter of fact the Clippers are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Minny and are 21-9 ATS as road favorites. But, they are coming off of an emotional win and Clippers are just 6-6 SU on the road and may be flat here. Take MINNESOTA! |

Indiana at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Pacers- 'It's over'...that was the cry of Trae Young before the Heat scored 22 consecutive points on their way to a 118-104 overtime loss. Atlanta without John Collins who was suspended for drug use has won just four of 20 games and have dropped 13 of 15. Indiana is off of a home win over the Celtics and are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as road favorites. The lowly Hawks are 5-1 ATS after an ATS loss and they are 15-7 in their last 22 as a home underdog. Take ATLANTA! |

L.A. Lakers at Miami 7:00 ET Heat (+) over Lakers- Something will have to 'give' here as a pair of the NBA's best hook-up in Miami where the Heat will host the L.A. Lakers who have the leagues best record. The Lakers have won 12 straight on the road and 15 of their last 16 overall. Miami is 11-0 at home going 9-2 ATS and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 as home underdogs. These two met in early November and the Lakers prevailed 95-80, this time turn-about-is-fair-play.

These two met in Portland in the season opener and the Nuggets prevailed 108-100 and are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 meetings. Everything says that the Blazers should fail here as they are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games and just 1-5-1 ATS after a SU win. Still, coming off of confidence builder at home defeating the Knicks with Carmelo Anthony becoming a real offensive threat. Take PORTLAND! |

Dallas at Detroit 9:05 ET Pistons (+) over Mavericks- Dallas is without question is the most improved team in the NBA this season reversing last years record from 7-16 to 16-7 and are 8-1 ATS in their last nine road games. The Mavericks are also 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Detroit who made the playoffs ;last season have had a rough start to the season but are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games.

Philadelphia at Boston 8:05 ET 76ers over Celtics- Okay, here we go again! Boston who leads the Atlantic Division and is 10-0 at home host Philadelphia who is 5-7 on the road. The 'price' on this game is rather silly with the Celtics looking for avenge an opening night loss at Philly where the 76ers prevailed 107-93. Boston is 5-0 ATS when hosting the Sixers in the last five meetings and yet are not favored here. Philadelphia has won 11 of their last 13 straight-up while the Celtics are off of a 122-117 loss to (Megabucks winner) Indiana last night. The second of back-to-back games Boston falls short! Take PHILADELPHIA! |

L.A. Clippers at Toronto 7:00 ET Clippers over Raptors- To start with it appears at first look that the wrong team is favored. Here we have the defending NBA Champions at home with almost the exact record as the Clippers and yet they are underdogs here. It gets even weirder when 'we' see that Los Angeles is just 5-6 SU on the road and the Raptors are 9-2 SU at home and that the Clippers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 meetings at Toronto. Although the Clippers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games but are 20-9 ATS as a road favorite. It DON'T make sense. Take the CLIPPERS! |

New York at Portland 10:00 ET Knicks (+) over Trailblazers- Okay, which story-line should be foremost in our minds. The one where Carmelo Anthony extracts a measure of revenge against the team that sent hime into limbo for the past year or that New York who has lost nine straight will rally around interim coach Mike Miller who replaces Davis Fizdale (4-18). Portland has fallen the furthest mostly because they were a playoff team a year ago and now with Anthony added to their roster have accepted the 'Bottom feeder' role. The Blazers are just 4-10-2 ATS at home and New York is 6-20 ATS following an ATS win and are 2-5 ATS in their last seven trips two Portland. But, the Blazers are just going through the motions.

Oklahoma City at Portland 9:00 ET Thunder (+) over Trailblazers- To my surprise the Trailblazers are actually playing better with Carmelo Anthony winning four of the six games that he has been with the club. Oklahoma City is off of an improbable win where they out-scored Minnesota 17-5 in the overtime period. Portland already has a pair of wins over the Thunder including a 136-119 home win two weeks ago. This is a different OKC team, it's a team that shares the ball as they were the first team in 15 years to have five players score at least 20 points.

Portland has moved in the opposite direction this season and are already 10-games behind the Lakers this season and with the pick-up of Carmelo Anthony things are not going to get much better. But, there is one thing the Trailblazers have always been able to do and that is handle the Lakers when no one else could.

Brooklyn has had the best of this series of late going 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings overall and 8-2 ATS at Charlotte.

Luka Donic and Kristaps Porzingis are a combo that Dallas opponents are having difficulty handling. Minnesota has also taken great strides this year and has played better than expected going 7-2 SU and ATS on the road.

Sacramento has also done some juggling with their starting lineup as the injury to Marvin Bagley III has given a number of bench players more playing time. The Bulls have dropped their last three and seven of their last nine while the Kings are off of an emotional overtime win over Denver on Saturday and most likely won't have the same intensity against the Bulls.

They are a perfect 8-0 SU at home and an impressive 7-1 ATS as hosts and have dominated the Jazz going 5-1 ATS at home and 11-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings.

Detroit hasn't been any better winning seven of 10 and going 6-12-1 ATS. Of the Spurs wins only one has come against a team with a winning record and that happened their last time out defeating the Clippers 107-97.

Charlotte at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (-) over Hornets- All I really have to say is that the Hornets must be really bad to be such a heavy underdog against a team that has lost twice as many games (6-12) as they have won. Detroit who is 6-11-1 ATS on the year have played better at home going 5-3 SU and ATS.

L.A. Lakers at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Lakers- Without question (in my mind) the Lakers are the most improved team in the NBA with LeBron running the point. James is such a dominating player that he now controls the entire tempo and flow of the game. San Antonio is the worst ATS team in the NBA (4-13) and are just 1-7 ATS at home. The Spurs just ended an eight-game losing streak with a win over the Knicks in New York and hopefully for them they are out of their funk.

Cleveland is looking to win two straight for just the second time this season and are 10-2 in their last 12 home games against the Nets.

The Heat have won four straight and have matched their best start in franchise history. Chicago just ended a 3-game losing streak with a 20-point win over Detroit and are looking for their first pair of consecutive wins this season. The Bulls are 3-5 straight-up at home but are 4-4 ATS when playing as hosts and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Last year the road team took all three meetings this season it's turn-about. Take CHICAGO! |

New Orleans at Phoenix 10:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Suns- New Orleans has won two straight for the first time this season as they look to pick themselves up after a slow and injury plagued start. Phoenix is raising from the depths of the NBA basement this season and is not only 7-6 SU but also 9-4 ATS on the year. But, the Suns are playing under clouds now as they have dropped their last two and three of four with their lone win coming against the lowly Hawks. The Pelicans are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings including 5-1 ATS at Phoenix. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Houston at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets over Rockets- Houston has won eight straight and the addition of Russell Westbrook has taken nothing away from the league most prolific scored James Harden. Harden has averaged 42.1 during the Rockets winning streak and is averaging 39.2 points overall on the season. Houston went 3-1 against Denver last season and have won 10 of the last 11 meetings outright. The Nuggets are 4-2 SU at home while the Rockets are 3-4 ATS on the road. Take DENVER! |

Orlando at Toronto 7:30 ET Magic (+) over Raptors- Toronto closed their five game road trip with a pair of losses but returned home rebounded with a huge 132-96 win over Charlotte. Orlando is off of a 4-1 home stand and looking to avenge a 104-95 loss to the Raptors back in October but are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings. Toronto usually takes a 'break' after scoring more than 125 points going 2-12 ATS in their next encounter and they are without Kyle Lowry this time.Take ORLANDO! |

Charlotte at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Hornets (+) over Nets- One of the more disappointing team to date has been the play of the Brooklyn Nets. With all the off-season trades and signing the upstart Nets have fallen upon old habits of mediocrity. Both clubs are coming off of their worst losses of the season and at least the Nets can say Kyrie Irving didn't play. The teams have split their last four meetings but the Nets are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Tonight it is the Hornets turn. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Oklahoma City at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Thunder (+) over Clippers- Oklahoma City is still looking for their first road win of the season (0-4) although they are 2-2 ATS. Meanwhile, LA is 7-1 SU at home with six straight wins and covers. Saturday, Leonard sat out for the second straight games while Paul George made his debut scoring 37 points in 20 minutes of work. The Clippers scored 150 points winning by 49 (setting a franchise record) against Atlanta Saturday and tonight Leonard and George will team up for the first time. OKC is 6-1 ATS when playing against teams with wining records. Take the THUNDER! |

11-18-19 | Spurs +5 v. Mavs | 110-117 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Dallas 8:35 ET Spurs (+) over Mavericks- If there is a need for any motivation to help stop a 5-game losing streak (longest in 8 years) the Spurs will be up against their Texas rival from the north. San Antonio has been a point-spread nightmare at 3-10 ATS while going 2-3 ATS on the road. Dallas has a new look and improved play has them at 7-5 SU but just 3-3 SU and 1-5 ATS at home. Although the Spurs are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings but were favored in 10 of those 12. Mavericks are 0-5 ATS after a SU win. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

11-18-19 | Bucks v. Bulls +8.5 | 115-101 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Chicago 8:05 ET Bulls (+) over Bucks- Boy, It is difficult to make a case for the Bulls as Milwaukee has been so dominating in this series winning the last seven meetings outright including the last four in Chicago. The Bucks enter this fray on a 3-game win streak while the 'baby' Bulls have dropped their last two. Although 3-9 SU Chicago has been presentable at home going 3-3 ATS but still just 2-4 SU. Giannis is seems unstoppable but the Bucks second leading scorer Khris Meddleton (18,5 pts, 5.7 reb) is sidelined. Take the points you may end up using them. Take CHICAGO! |

11-17-19 | Warriors +5 v. Pelicans | 100-108 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Golden State at New Orleans 7:00 ET Warriors (+) over Pelicans- These two clubs can form a completely new squad with all the injuries that they have both accumulated. Wins are something neither of these teams have accumulated as they are a combined record of 5-20 with one of the Warriors wins coming against the Pelicans for Golden State last victory. In a battle of the wounded I'll take the points. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Boston at Sacramento 3:00 ET Kings (+) over Celtics- After an opening night loss to the Sixers Boston has reeled off 10 straight wins going 7-2-1 ATS and continue their west coast road trip at Sacramento. The Kings are 4-2 SU in their last six games and have lost the last four meetings against Boston. But, this 'price' is way low for a team with a 10-game winning streak and the other team with their best player Marvin Bagley out. Take the points with SACRAMENTO! |

Toronto at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (-) over Raptors- Dallas dropped the final two legs of their 3-game road trip finishing their trip losing at lowly New York. Toronto has won the last three in the series and seven of eight meetings and yet the NBA Champions are just 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings but this is the first time since February 2015 that the Mavericks have been favored. Dallas is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and get it done again. Take the MAVERICKS! |

11-16-19 | Bucks v. Pacers +7 | 102-83 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Bucks- This is the second of back-to-back games for Indiana losing at Houston last night but I don't believe that any of their player is taking the night off as 'work load' management. The key factor here of course is Giannis Antetokounmpo who has 30 or more points and 10 or more rebounds in six straight games. The Bucks will be without second leading scorer Khris Middleton and are 1-4 ATS in their last five trips to Indiana. Take the PACERS! |

11-16-19 | Nets v. Bulls -2 | 117-111 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Chicago 6:00 ET Bulls (-) over Nets- I smell a rat! Brooklyn who showed vast improvement last season when out and signed 'Super-star' Kyrie Irving and not only is the world flat but the Nets have been flat this season winning just four of their first 11 games. They are 1-5 SU on the road and 2-4 ATS and 0-7 ATS in their last seven vs. Eastern Conference. Chicago on then other hand is 1-7 ATS vs. the Atlantic. This is the first time that the Bulls have been favored in this series in the past eight games. Take the BULLS! |

Boston at Golden State 10:30 ET Warriors (+) over Celtics- Well, this is something I haven't envisioned and that is the Warriors almost a double-digit underdog at home. With their roster depleted Golden State has fallen into an abyss and have won just two of 12 games and are 1-5 SU and ATS at home. Since dropping their opening game against the Sixers the Celtics have won nine straight going 7-1-1 ATS. Boston who is 6-0 ATS in their last six trips to but will have D'Angelo Russell and forward Draymond Green return. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Indiana at Houston 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Rockets- Coming off of their win over the LA Clippers (Megabucks winner) Houston is patting themselves on the back for their 'defensive' effort holding the Clips to 93 points (their defensive low for the season). The Rockets have seven wins against teams with a combined 18-46 record and now they play a team with a winning record for just the second time. Following an 0-3 start Indiana has won seven of eight and gets the cash here. Take the PACERS! |

Philadelphia at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over 76ers- OKC has gone through a number of changes this season and although they are just 4-7 SU they have a winning ATS record and are 4-3 both SU and ATS at home. Philadelphia after a quick start has dropped four of their last six while the Thunder have dropped this last two. OKC is 6-1 ATS after a loss and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Sixers. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

Dallas at New York 8:00 ET Knicks (+) over Mavericks- Of course the storyline here is the return to MSG for their former prize first round pick Kristaps Porzingis who was jettisoned to Dallas after three years with New York. The Knicks at 2-9 have matched their worst start in franchise history and had to hold a press conference just to quell reports that coach David Fitzdale is about to be fired so early into his tenure. It was just six days ago that the Knicks upset the Mavericks in Dallas and I expect most to believe that the line of thought here is that they will seek revenge. But, New York who lost their last two since that win by 39 points knows that they can beat this club again and they just might do it. Take NEW YORK! |

L.A. Clippers at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Clippers- Los Angeles is looking forward to the debut of Paul George Thursday as he returns to play after having surgery on bothy shoulders who can help fill the void left by slacker Kawhi Leonard who is on vacation tonight due to back-to-back games for the Clippers. New Orleans has been hit with injuries that can be used as an excuse for their 2-8 SU record. Surprisingly enough the Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and will get the money here as the Clippers struggle with chemistry with George's return. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
