12-18-16 | Kings v. Mavs -1 | 79-99 | Win | 100 | 1 h 14 m | Show | |
Sacramento came into Dallas on Dec 7 and smacked the Mavs with a 120-89 loss. Needless to say, the Mavericks will be primed to hand out some paybak, despite of being short handed. The Kings are coming off a upset win last time out vs Memphis as underdogs , but their inconsistencies are well documented as they they are led by a eraddict super star by the name of Cousins, who despite of his great talents can really stymie the flow of his team with bizarre tyrads against anyone and everyone. ( Cousins may miss today because of suspension, but his prescense is less than a positive for a team that lacks stability) DALLAS is 10-1 ATS L/11 in home games on Sunday games dating bakc 3 seasons. All teams where the line is +3 to -3 (SACRAMENTO) - off an upset win as a road underdog, a bad team (25% to 40%) playing a team with a losing record are just 8-30 ATS L/38 in their follow up game for a go against conversion rate of 79% .

12-18-16 | Gonzaga -10 v. Tennessee | 86-76 | Push | 0 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
Gonzaga is on a big time 10-0 run behind an offense that is averaging 82.7 ppg and a defense that has allowed just 63.1 ppg. They go against a mediocre Tennessee Vols hoops program that can also score but the difference maker comes in transition and defense, where Gonzaga out shines the Vols. This will be the difference maker today, and what I am betting will be a subsequent cover for Gonzaga.

The Washington Wizards are finally starting to look balanced thanks to their offense and defense clicking at the same time. The Wizards are currently playing with confidence as they have won 4 of their L/5 and have covered 4 straight at home. Meanwhile the Clippers despite of winning four straight have failed to cover 5 of their L/6 games, and are just 2-5 ATS L/7 on the road and have failed to cover 8 of their L/9 against the Eastern Conference sides. Considering the current form of both sides from a wagering perspective, I will back the home underdog in this spot. ( The underdog has covered 4 of the L/5 meetings) LA CLIPPERS are 7-19 ATS L/26 after failing to cover 3 of their last 4 against the spread and are are 11-27 ATS L/38 after scoring 100 points or more 3 straight games which just happened!

Now after going out to the West coast and coming home with 6 days rest the Zips could show some rust. Marshall out scored Toledo 111-105 last time out.

We have two very tired teams playing each other tonight Indiana and Detroit - with that said, a long term 61% ATS trend is in play. NBA teams where the total is 200 to 209.5 like the Pistons - an extremely tired team - when playing their 3rd game in 4 days against opponent that is also a tired team ( Indiana ) - playing 6 or more games in 10 days have seen the under go 265-173 dating back 5 seasons. INDIANA is 26-6 UNDER L/32 when playing their 3rd game in 4 days dating back to last season, with the total combined average score clicking in at 194.8 ppg. DETROIT is 10-2 UNDER L/12 in home games this season with a combined average of 190 ppg getting scored. Previous to their L. game Motown did not allow more than 97 points in 7 straight games and have not allowed more than 99 points in 12 of their L/15 and I'm betting on another solid defensive performance here in methodical fashion. Van Gundys side will control the pace, vs a Indiana side trying to play a more solid two way game and that has only scored 89 and 95 points in their L/2 tilts. Play UNDER 1 unit reg selection |

Two teams struggling to keep their heads high, after very slow starts to their campaigns, go head to head tonight in the City of Brotherly Love as the Lakers visit the 76ers. After a promising start the Lakers have dropped eight straight games, and are desperate for a win, one I believe they can get tonight, vs a side they matchup well again, both form a physical and style of play standpoint. Meanwhile, while Philadelphia has covered 3 of their L/4 and recently notched back to back victories before losing last time out are a team in a emotional letdown spot after playing the Toronto Raptors hard in that above mentioned L. That makes the 76ers vulnerable to even hungrier team then themselves. NBA Road teams - where the line is +3 to -3 like the Lakers - after 6 or more consecutive losses, a lower tier team (25% to 40%) playing another team with a below .500 record are bankroll expanding 26-7 ATS 79% for their betting backers.

12-16-16 | Hawks +8 v. Raptors | 125-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
The Toronto Raptors spanked the Atlanta Hawks a two weeks ago when they visited Canada by a lopsided 128-84 count. This tale of the tape is of two teams moving in opposite directions, as the Raps have won 10 of their L/11 and a Hawks side that has lost 10 of their L/13 after a 9-2 start. However, despite of these teams current form, Im focusing on a desperate side, ( Atlanta) that was embarrassed in their last matchup vs the Raptors as mentioned above. A measure of a teams fortitude and the quality of their coach, is what sets slumping teams apart from bottom feeders. Even though the Hawks are stuck in quick sand at the moment, it does not mean they are not capable of playing a big time game in an effort to gain back some long lost dignity. You have to remember that the Hawks, are made up of guys that were stars at every level of basketball they competed in, and pros never like to be embarrassed. Atlanta 's HC Budenholzer is 86-62 ATS L/148 when playing against a team with a winning record. Play on the Atlanta Hawks to cover 1 unit reg selection |

The Washington Wizards used a physical brand of basketball for an big time win vs the Charlotte Hornets in their last outing which sets up well for their meeting with Stan VanGundys Motown crew..My won matchup discrepancy charts tell me a story of a Washington team that can compete and beat a team like the Detroit Pistons. Washington has 4 straight here at home in this series, and Im betting on another victory tonight. NBA Home teams where the line is +3 to -3 like the Wizards - average 3PT shooting team (33-36.5%) against a good 3PT defense (33% or less), in a game involving two good ball handling team (14.5 TO's or less) are a bankroll expanding 103-59 ATS for a 64% conversion rate.

Florida Atlantic upended Ohio State last time out, by a 79-77 count and this program has proven in the recent past the big name teams don;t scare them as is evident by FLA ATLANTICs 14-4 ATS L/18 mark when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%) over the last few seasons, and are 9-1 ATS versus top tier teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls prepare to face off on back-to-back nights, beginning this Thursday. The key to this game will be the Bucks ability to stop the downtown three shots, as they rank 2nd in the league in stopping 3s. The Bulls are dead last in the league shooting the trey, (30.7%) and do a majority of their work on the inside, where HC Kidd and company are well prepared to be physical.

The Milwaukee Bucks ranked 12th in pae and 13th in defensive rating and Chicago Bulls who rank 21 in pace in the league and 8th in Defensive ratings, prepare to face off on back-to-back nights, beginning this Thursday. Because of the divisional rivalry, and the difficulty of playing two games into two nights against the same side, both coaches will not be inclined to run and gun. The key to this game will be the Bucks ability to stop the downtown shots from beyond the arc, as they rank 2nd in the league in stopping 3s. The Bulls are dead last in the league shooting the trey, (30.7%) and do a majority of their work on the inside, where HC Kidd and company are well prepared to be physical. With that said, Im expecting a hard fought inside affair, that remains on the low side of the number.

12-14-16 | Pacers v. Heat -1 | 89-95 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
The Heat conclusively ended a five-game losing streak by defeating the Washington Wizards 112-101 on Monday night and Im betting they are ready to turn the trick again this Tuesday night versus a very inconsistent Indiana team. I know the Heat are without the injured Waiters and Winslow, but this team is still more capable than many pundits believe. Meanwhile, Indiana has some key injury issues of their own and will be without starting guard Monta Ellis (groin), who has been ruled out for this three-game road trip. Reserve guard Rodney Stuckey (knee) is questionable and less than 100% after being hurt against the Hornets this past weekend, and he will be missed. From a trends perspective is must be noted, that INDIANA is 1-13 ATS L/14 in road games after scoring 110 points or more over the last 2 seasons and 0-7 ATS after one or more consecutive wins, this season.

Meanwhile, New Orleans has scored 96 points or less in 4 of their L/8, and will be weary of trying to out gun their explosive opponents tonight, which will see them put forward a more methodical effort, which will in turn result in a combined score that remains on the low side of the Total .

The Golden State Warriors seem a little burned out of late, after playing at a high intensity level for a extended time. Their exhaustion has shown itslef in two of their L/3 games as they failed to eclipse the 100 point plateau in two of those tilts. Now as they play a back to back tcontests against Minnesota on tired legs, I won;t be surprised by another muted effort .( The Dubs lost last night 110-89 at Memphis) I know the Wolves have struggled with D, this season, but because of Golden States take no prisoner style of offense, the totals are sometimes over exagerated by linesmakers playing to public bettors sentiments, as is evident by a 66-38 under run in Warrior road games against lower tier defensive teams allowing 103 or more points per game, with the total combined score of 213.9 ppg on the scoreboard. Meanwhile, MINNESOTA is 18-8 UNDER L/26 versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 36% or more of their attempts with the the average combined score ringing in at 204.9 ppg. MINNESOTA in 20 games when the total is greater than or equal to 200 this season have seen a combined average of 211.7 ppg get scored.GOLDEN STATE in their L/52 games off an upset loss as a road favorite, have seen a combined average of 215.1 ppg go on the scoreboard and in their L/54 as favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points have seen 218.4 ppg go on the scoreboard.

Im never make a habit of laying DDs, with my NBA selections, but this one merits a lay the lumber type of bet. Play on the Spurs to cover 1 unit reg selection |

12-10-16 | Warriors v. Grizzlies OVER 209.5 | 89-110 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
The Golden State Warriors lead the NBA in several offensive categories in road games, including points per game (115.2), field goal percentage (48.5) and assists (30.8) and I am betting on another offensive explosion here tonight. Meanwhile, Memphis has won 5 straight, and will have no choice but to reciprocate with some offense of their own, or be blown off the court which I am betting results in a total combined score that eclispes the number. It must be noted that the last time these teams met, only 199 total combined points were scored. But the caveat Im using here is based on a system, I implemented recently , that has had great results in beta form, and now its going live with this bet tonight. Home teams where the total is greater than or equal to ( 209.5 - 210) like the Grizzlies - after game - allowing a shooting pct. of 35% or less have cashed to the OVER 30 of the L/36 times for a powerful 83% conversion rate.

Barea (left calf) and center Andrew Bogut (right knee) the Mavericks have shown a great deal of resiliency behind a top tier brand of tenacious basketball as was the case last time out against Indiana in a 111-103 victory. I expect that same tenaciousness and never say die attitude , to help buoy the Mavericks to a cover tonight vs a Houston side that I am sure is over looking them. Rockets are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games. NBA Home favorites like Houston - good 3PT shooting team (36.5% plus or more) against a poor 3PT defense (36.5% or less), average rebounding team (+/-3 reb/game) against a horrible rebounding team (5.5 or less reb/game) for a go against 78% conversion rates.

The Nuggets have had problems pacing themselves this season, and most recently ran out of gas vs Washington in a 92-85 loss, that saw them score just 12 points in the fourth quarter. The truth is that the Nuggets looked winded, and are fade material from my stand point vs the Orlando Magic tonight as they play the 5th game of a 6 game road trip. I know Orlando does not garner alot of respect from bettors, but in reality from time to time this season, have shown glimpses of brilliant play. I know Orlando is also fatigued as they play back to back tilts tonight, but home court advantage Im betting will be the difference maker in this tilt.

Minnesota looked really good against Toronto last night, but their inexperience and their lack of belief in themselves got the best of them last night, as they blew a lead to a strong opponent and eventually lost. Quote: The good teams are 48-minute teams," Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau said. "We're still not there...The fourth quarter is different. You have to understand that. The intensity of a fourth quarter is different. Your decision-making is different. We still have to figure that out. End Quote. With that said, despite of being on a short turn around, Im betting on this young well conditioned Wolves side to bounce back tonight, feeling like they need get some respect back. Meanwhile, Motown has played decently of late but off a muted loss last time out vs Charlotte scoring just 77 points in a 88-77 loss. It's hard sometimes for teams to go from a slow motion game speed to playing a uptempo game, which Minnesota is sure to bring to this tilt.

Despite being the defending champions and holding the best record in the East the Cavaliers have shown plenty of lapses so far this season, despite of a top tier record and numbers, and in the past have shown a propensity to play down to their opponents level, as is evident by a 16-29 ATS L/45 record when playing against a team with a losing record. Meanwhile, Miami is dealing with some injury woes, and trying to find an identity without Dwayne Wade , who is no longer with the team. But thanks to these injuries, it seems HC spolestra and company have found a take no prisoners idenity with the tough as nails Tyler Johnson who scored 27 points last time out, and attacks without fear of injury. This type of guy has a way of spreading his energy around a locker room , which transfers its flow onto the court. Tonight we have one side we have the media darling prima donnas ( Cleveland) and on their other side, a supposedly downtrodden side, that will I am betting elbow themselves into being competetive tonight and get us the cover.

Meanwhile, the Bulls are in a bit of a slump and are coming off a 102-91 loss Tuesday at the Detroit Pistons, and could have been looking ahead to this game. But with veterans like Dwayne Wade and Jimmy Butler in the lineup, this Bulls team must not be under estimated, especially on their own floor. (Bulls are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss and 24-9 ATS in their last 33 Thursday games and also 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.) With this being The Spurs 7th road game in their L/9 games overall, Im sure they are getting road weary, and could ind this game challenging vs a side that is capable of upsetting some of the best teams in this league as was the case 6 days ago when they up ended the defending champion Cavaliers by a 111-105 count.

Tonight , against a Thunder team that can run and gun with the best teams in the NBA, Im betting a concerted effort by the Hawks to play heads up transitional ball will be on the game plan agenda.

Sacramento (7-12) is 3-6 over its last nine games, but they have been very competetive in 5 of those 6 losses, and have covered 7 of their L/9 and must not be underestimated vs a Knicks (10-9) team that gets to much respect from the media pundits. Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 like the Kings - off 2 or more consecutive road losses, well rested team - playing 6 or less games in 14 days 60-21 ATS L/81. Home teams where the line is +3 to -3 like the Knicks - off an upset win as an underdog against opponent off a road loss are 27-58 ATS over the L/5 seasons.

12-04-16 | Magic v. Pistons UNDER 195.5 | 98-92 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Detroit has found some offense, of late and thats why we get a decent total to bet into here on the under. The linesmkaers are now over compensating for their recent offensive surge that seen them score 107 or more points in 5 of their L/6 games. The Pistons still maintain a soild defensive ranking listed 2nd in the league overall and the 24th ranked pace. Meanwhiile, Orlando has scored more than 95 points just once in their L/10 and remain conservative/ methodical in their approach, and nothing changes today. The Magic rank 3rd in points allowed, and 29th in points scored, while they mantain a 25 ranked pace. ORLANDO is 7-0 UNDER L/7 versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 or less turnovers/game this season and 12-4 L/16 versus sides that attempt 18 or more 3 pointers a game like Motown.

12-04-16 | Marquette +3 v. Georgia | 89-79 | Win | 100 | 2 h 48 m | Show | |
Georgia hosts Marquette on Sunday, in a nonconference tilt it has tended to lose in past seasons when the programmed missed the NCAA tournament. Georgia (5-2) has so far lost at Clemson — team that’s now 4-2 — and on a neutral court to No. 4 Kansas. Meanwhile, Marquette (5-2) have their two losses to Michigan and Pittsburgh, on neutral courts. It opened its season with a 24-point smash down on the road at Vanderbilt, while its other four wins were all routs of low- or mid-major teams. Bottom line: Analysing this matchup, and power rankings tells me a story, of two teams that are fairly evenly matched, but Im betting Marquette could easily eek out a win here, and more importantly as far as we are concerend a cover.

The Golden State Warriors showed their defensive vulnerabilities when they dropped a 132-127 double-overtime slug gest to the Houston Rockets on Thursday night. Now you can bet defense, was a key topic in the locker room and in practice the last couple of days, which will translate into a concerted effort on the court.( Under is 7-2-1 in Warriors last 10 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game) Meanwhile, Phoenix has recently demonstrated an improved defense. Once statistically the worst defense in the league, the Suns allowed 107 or fewer points for the fifth time in their last seven games, and Im sure defense will once again be their key to try to slow Golden State explosive offense. GOLDEN STATE is 29-12 UNDER L/41 after failing to cover the spread in 2 or more consecutive games witht he combined average of those tilts clicking in at 207.7 ppg. NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 like the Suns - revenging 2 straight losses where opp scored 100 or more points, off an upset win as an underdog are 56-18 under for a 76% conversion rate for bettors.

The heat really struggled on offense earlier this season, but are quickly improving, as is evident by, averaging 107 points the past four games, including a 111-110 win at Utah on Thursday night.Center Hassan Whiteside ranks among the top 10 in the league in rebounds (first, 15.1), blocked shots (third, 2.56) and field-goal percentage (.559, ninth) while averaging a team-high 17.7 points. Im expecting he will be the catalyst in a Heat cover tonight. I know Portland offense has been explosive , but it must be noted that PORTLAND is 1-10 ATS after scoring 110 points or more 4 straight games and is 1-9 ATS L/10 versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 or less turnovers/game this season and 1-8 ATS L/9 after 1 or more consecutive wins this season which happend last time out.

After back-to-back losses to drop an NBA-worst 3-15 SU, the injury riddled Mavericks once again look like bad bets tonight vs visiting Chicago. Ater watching Chicago down, Cleveland last night by a 111-105 count, Im betting on them coming out here with confidence and sending Dallas to the locker rooms for a cold shower. I know Bulls star Dwayne Wade wont play tonight, in Dallas, but thats a good thing, because his team mates will want will be wide awake, and understand the challange of playing a struggling team with nothing to lose, without their star. I really believe HC Hoiberg will have the Bulls primed to take down a three-win team with no let down scenario because their schedule after this tilt will be a see them embark on a difficult three-game stretch ahead against Portland and Detroit on back-to-back nights followed by a visit from the San Antonio Spurs side that is undefeated as visitors this season two nights after that.

Houston has won 6 of their L/8 games, and is off a big win vs Golden State last night, in a 132-127 slugfest. The Rockets look like their for real, and are experienced enough not to let that victory go to their heads , and come out flat tonight. Heres a quote: "We're a resilient team," Rockets star Harden said on the TNT broadcast after Thursday's win. "Big-time win on the road and we have another one tomorrow. With that said, I'm betting the Rockets will be more than prepared to go back to work in this spot. Meanwhile, the Nuggets continue to struggle losing 8 of their L/12, and despite of being fast and mobile, their defense does not deal well with this kind of opponent, as was obvious in a recent 132-129 loss to Oklahoma State at home in the Mile High City.

My own number made Pacific 14 point favs, so laying 9.5 to 10 looks like a solid bet.
