03-11-19 | Hornets v. Rockets UNDER 224 | 106-118 | Push | 0 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
As Houston starts gearing up for the play offs, they are beginning to play lock down defence, which has been evident in their L/3 recent wins where they held Toronto, Dallas, and Philadelphia all under 95 points or less. Charlotte in their current form are alos a team the Rockets can easily shut down, and after playing last night wont be in the mood to run and gun anyway, which Im betting aids this game in staying under the set total. The Rockets are 0-10 L/10 UNDER at home with no rest after playing as a road favorite facing an opponent averaging less than 6 refereed turnovers per game with a combine average of 193.5 ppg scored.

Detroit played yesterday in a win vs Chicago and will now play their 6th game in 9 days and 3rd in 4 days , and fatigue could easily play a factor in their ability to extend a 4 game win streak tonight vs the Brooklyn Nets. Meanwhile, Brooklyn has also won 3 straight but are much fresher after a couple days off, and Im betting they will have the extra needed energy on their own home floor to come out of this battle on top. DETROIT is 11-22 ATS when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%) over the last 2 seasons.DETROIT is 8-21 ATS on the road when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 3 seasons. The Pistons are 0-12 ATS/SU as a road dog off a 10+ win as a home favorite facing an opponent getting less than 25 percent or their rebounds on the offensive end.The Pistons are 0-11 ATS /SU with no rest off a win as a favorite in which they had at least a 10 percent higher BAP than their opponent. The Nets are 19-3 ATS/21-1 SU as a home favorite with rest off a road game facing an opponent averaging more than 45 rebounds per game.The Nets are 9-0 ATS/SU as a home favorite with rest off a road game facing an opponent with an assist-to-turnover ratio greater than 1.5. NBA Underdogs vs the money line (DETROIT) - after having covered 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread, a marginal winning team (51% to 60%) playing a winning team are 43-172 L/5 seasons for a go against 77% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

Detroit won 103-100 win in its season opener on Oct. 17, and Brooklyn claimed a 120-119 overtime victory on Oct. 31. Note: DETROIT is 10-2 UNDER in road games revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points this season with a combined average of 207.7 ppg scored. These teams current form is different than it was back then, and according to my new projections this game should be played closer to the way the first game was played. With Detroit on tired legs having played yesterday, and this their 3rd game in 4 nights Im betting this Motown crew wont have enough energy to run and gun with the sometimes explosive Nets, and instead will rely on a more conservative defensive brand of basketball, something HC Casey has been unhappy with lately despite of getting victories. DETROIT is 12-3 UNDER in road games versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 110+ points/game this season and is 8-1 UNDER when playing their 3rd game in 4 days this season and 11-1 UNDER after 3 straight games - allowing a shooting pct. of 47% or higher over the last 3 seasons. Recently Brooklyn has seen 4 straight games stay under the total, so their trending to the low side, and are 13-4 UNDER after scoring 110 points or more 2 straight games this season which just happened.

San Antonio (37-29) welcomes the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks (50-16) to its home court. Unfortunately for the Spurs they will be playing what has been a lousy guest for most of this season, as is evident by the Bucks 23-11 SU road record. On a pickem line the Bucks get my support in this spot. I know the Spurs are fresher than the Bucks , but Milwaukee has been resilient and shown how well conditioned they are in the past as is evident by 14-3 ATS record in road games when playing 6 or more games in 10 days over the last 2 seasons. The Bucks are 12-1 ATS /12-1 SU as a road favorite with no rest off a home game. The Bucks are 19-2 ATS /20-1 SU as a road favorite with less than two days rest off a home game in which they scored a least 18 fast break points.

03-10-19 | Rockets v. Mavs +8.5 | 94-93 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Im not accusing Mark Cuban of anything other than being a highly intelligent and devious business man, when I say, that they're is a possibility and not a conspiracy theory of him wanting his team to tank down the stretch for a higher draft pick, and maybe just maybe in closed door circumstances making his wishes known to the coaching staff. Just look at the Mavericks current run , and you get the feeling that this is what's going on. Also knowing that Cuban is a big time hoops fan, Im betting, if my crazy theory were right, that tanking would be put on the shelf for this one game against instate NBA rivals Houston coming to town. Ok all tongue and cheek conspiracy theories aside, my projections say this number is a little bloated and we have value with the home dog with revenge on board to cover. Note: DALLAS is 21-12 ATS revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points this season.

NBA team (HOUSTON) - after going under the total by more than 6 points in three consecutive games, a good team (60% to 75%) playing a team with a losing record are 13-30 ATS L/5 seasons for a go against 70% conversion rate for bettors.

Hey I know New Orleans is not a side that will inspire many bettors but from a mathematical standpoint Im betting we have value and an advantage with the home side here tonight. Also believe it or not the Pelicans are a more cohesive group without Anthony Davis in the lineup. It just so happens Davis will probably be side lined from now until the end of the year (injury) , which will lift this team up instead of demoralize them. because of his refusal to want anything to do with this group going forward. NO is off a home loss last time out to Utah snapping a 3 game win streak. From a trends perspective that is also good news as NEW ORLEANS is 12-0 ATS off a home loss this season. Bounce back time.

The Raptors enter this game at 2-2 in their L/4, but tonight at full strength with Kawhi Leonard playing Im betting they have an edge, and with newly acquired will Marc Gasol getting back into form after having to adjust to a new team I expect the young men from TO will be cohesive and explosive. Since Gasol arrived the Raptors have smashed opposing starting lineups by an average +36.9 point diff. This is important since Houstons bench is even weaker than then the 20th ranked bench of the Raps, as the Rockets depend solely on their starting 5 and in particularly James Harden the one man band. With that said , lets lay the points with the home team. TORONTO is 17-4 ATS after failing to cover 4 of their last 5 against the spread over the last 3 seasons. NBAHome favorites vs. the money line (TORONTO) - average 3PT shooting team (33-36.5%) against an average 3PT defense (33-36.5%) after 42+ games, good ball handling team (14.5 or less TO) vs. an average pressure defense (14.5-16.5 TO) after 42+ games are 115-30 SU L/5 seasons for a 80% conversion rate for bettors.

Meanwhile, In a recent hard-fought back and forth loss to the Orlando Magic by a 117-112 count the Pacers their 3rd loss in 4 games they looked out of sorts and were constantly arguing with the officials. Their lack of concentration got them in trouble and could easily see them humbled here again tonight .Note: The Pacers are 1-14 ATS L/15 as a home favorite with rest after a game as a home favorite in which a game that was tied 5+ times which qualifies after the battle they had with the Magic in their last home game.

Indiana enters this game ranked 2nd in both ppg allowed and defensive efficiency and 24th in pace. On offence they rank 22nd , which makes it obvious to me that they base all their successes and failures on their ability to play a strong transitional game that focuses on top tier defensive play. The Pacers have gotten away from that lately and have coincindetly lost 3 of their L/4, and Im betting a more concerted defensive effort here in an attempt to right tehir ship. Meanwhile, the visiting Chicago Bulls rank 28th in offense , behind the 21st ranked pace, and despite of back to back freewheeling affairs against a no defense allowed Atlanta team in their last two outings, should now revert back to their norm here in a division game I have pegged to be competitive .

The Magic also beat Eastern power house Toronto, while losing to Chicago and the New York Knicks, two of the worst teams in the league. Needless to say their Magic spells won't be catching the Pacers by surprise, as the home team will be wide awake here knowing they can't take the night off , like the Raptors and Warriors probably did. The Pacers also have revenge eon board for a 107-100 loss to Orlando the last time they visited the Magic kingdom this season and will be primed for payback.

Its been a long east coast adventure for the Blazers, but this well conditioned team is showing little to no sign of exhaustion as they head into this tilt vs the explosive Toronto Raptors. With that said, and with my own system vs system line, projecting a pickem type affair, Im recommending we take the Blazers plus the points here tonight. Note: PORTLAND is 8-0 ATS after 5 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 seasons and is 12-2 ATS in March games over the last 2 seasons.The Trailblazers are 17-2 ATS L/19 on the road with rest off a win as a dog which was the case vs the Celtics last time out.

In Toronto's last five game they have seen a combined average score of more than 232 ppg go on the board, while Portland has scored more than 218 ppg on offence in their L/5 , and Im betting they wil force the Raps explosive attack to gear up in response , which will result in a high scoring slugfest according to my projections.

Note: The Hornets are 1-20 OV/UNDER on the road with rest when seeking same season revenge for a loss at home with a combined average of 198.8 ppg scored. Also the Hornets are 0-12 OU on the road with rest off a loss when seeking same season revenge for a loss at home which was the case in a loss the Rockets last time out in a ugly defensive display allowing 118 points and blowing a lead. This will make the Hornets even more concentrated on playing better defence here tonight. Meanwhile, the Nets are 0-13 OU with rest off a loss as a favorite in which they scored more than 50 points in the paint which was the situation vs Washington when they allowed 125 points in a back forth event and Im betting they will also be more diligent defensively in rebound mode. The Nets are also 0-13 OU L/13 as a home favorite off a loss in which they shot worse than 25% from beyond the arc with at least 20 attempts with a combined average of 187.5 ppg scored.

This is not a good situation for the Jazz against a team that has been dominant at home this season, winning 27 of their 31 games as hosts. Add to that the Nuggets are flying high right now winning 5 straight including 5 straight SU/ATS in this series at home and in revenge mode for a 114-108 loss at Utah back in late January. With the underlying factors now in place I expect for the Nuggets to hand out a vengeful minded beatdown on the tired Jazz here in the Rockies tonight.

What makes things even worse here, is that they will also be without another front court guy as Boban Marjanovic is also out.Without its two big men, the 76ers will rely on rookie Jonah Bolden and Amir Johnson in the middle which is not a good situation for this banged up short handed team here against this type of explosive side. 76ers are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Oklahoma City.76ers are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.76ers are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.76ers are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.Thunder are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Eastern Conference.

The Celtics got man handled by the Toronto Raptors last night, for their 3rd straight loss ( all on the road) and will now be out looking for redemption tonight back in Bean-town in front of their own fans where they always seem to play their best hoops , especially against upper tier teams like the Blazers. Note: BOSTON is 14-3 ATS in home games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 70%) over the last 2 seasons. I know these teams look to be playing at the opposite end of the proverbial performance spectrum, with Portland on a 4 game wins streak, and the Celtics on a 3 game losing streak, but in the NBA , momentum and bad runs can disappear quickly. With Boston feeling a little embarrassed, I expect sulking egotists like Kyre Irving to come out here and to up their performance levels and increase their production levels and for the Celtics to get their mojo back at least for now vs a team they have marked for payback for a loss they suffered in Oregon back in November. There is precedent for the Celtics rebounds as they are 12-0 ATS/SU L/12 as a favorite off a loss when they are off two games in which they allowed 110+ points( they gave up 126 to Chicago and 118 last night) The Celtics are 12-0 ATS/SU L/12 at home off a game as a dog facing an opponent averaging more than 5 blocks per game. Meanwhile, the Trailblazers are 2-19-1 ATS /0-22 SU as a dog with less than two days rest off a game as a favorite in which they had at least 30% of their points from threes which was the case vs Cleveland last time out by a 123-110 count. BOSTON is 10-1 ATS as a home favorite of 6 points or less this season. NBA Favorites (BOSTON) - revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points against opponent off a road win are 201-136 ATS L/5 seasons for a 60% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

Chicago is playing some very good hoops of late and despite of having a 3 game win streak end vs Milwaukee last time out . The Bulls in their current form are a team that has to be respected getting points here today vs a Memphis side that has shown almost no consistency this season other than a penchant for losing. I know tha the bad new Bears have a couple of new cogs in their lineup and are off a win vs the LALA land Lakers last time out , but Im not sold on them as favorites at more than a pickem against 99% of the teams in the this league, including the Bulls. Chicago has had success here in Memphis in recent meetings going 2-0 in their L/2 visits and have won the last three overall meetings in this series and get the nod again to be competitive and cover.

Also when the Nuggets are in a groove like they are now as is evident by a 4 game win streak they are a perfect 8-0 ATS in home games after 3 or more consecutive wins this season. DENVER is also 11-2 ATS in home games versus teams like Oklahoma City who average 9 or more steals/game on the season over the last 3 seasons.

02-26-19 | Celtics v. Raptors UNDER 225 | 95-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
Boston Im betting will do what they do best and that is play top tier defence in an effort to slow the high powered Raptors offence down. This has been Boston modus operandi for a while now when playing a road against explosive sides like the Raptors. Note: BOSTON is 13-4 UNDER in road games versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average score of 204.4 ppg scored. The Celtics own the 5th ranked ppg allowed and and defensive efficiency, along with the a 19th ranked pace. Meanwhile, the Raptors own the 7th ranked defensive efficiency and must not be underestimated in their ability to be physical . This tilt has the makings of gruelling defensive post season style affair that stays below the offered Total.

The Magic, with eight wins in their past 10 games are playing top tier basketball at the moment, while the NY Knicks a team that despite of a couple of recent wins, are 5-24 at home this season, and according to my own power rankings and matchup stats do not match up well against this up trending Magic team. Orlando has won four consecutive road games, all by at least 15 points. In the last 10 games, Orlando's average margin of victory is 17.3 points.Orlando has won its last four visits to New York and earlier this season the Magic recorded its widest margin ever in New York in a 115-89 victory.

The Pelicans have shown some life recently with wins vs Oklahoma City and the LA Lakers and must now be respected as short home favs vs a Philadelphia team playing without their top player the injured Joel Embiid (knee). Yesterday the Sixers got crushed by the Blazers by DDs, at home, as , they struggled on the boards without Embiid; as Portland held a 53-33 rebounding edge that included 19 offensive rebounds.Look for Pelicans star Anthony Davis ,despite of seeing limited floor time of late, to lead the way as he takes advantage of the room he will have vs a group on tired legs and without a key cog in their lineup.

The Kings came in and outplayed a very good Oklahoma City side this past Saturday night by beating the Thunder by a 119-116 score. However, tonight , Im betting that the Kings. playing their fourth straight road game on tired legs and a letdown situation after that above mentioned big win wont be as fortunate vs a team that beat them by a 132-105 count here on Dec 17th the last time these teams played. The Kings are 0-14 ATS/SU when the line is within 3 of pick with less than two days rest off a win in a road game facing an opponent averaging more than 62 ppg from 2-point range .The Timberwolves are 11-0 ATS/SU as a home favorite with rest off a loss in a road game in which they had less than 15% of their points from free throws.

San Antonio concludes a sub par 1-6 annual rodeo trip vs a Brooklyn team that they have beaten in the last 7 meetings. The Spurs recorded a 117-114 win in San Antonio on Jan. 31, and get the nod again here. Desperation here is a key factor in me backing a good but frustrated Spurs side in tonight confrontation. Note: Brooklyn after a torrid mid season inning run, have cooled off, and is 4-7 in its last 11 games and looking vulnerable at the moment in their current form. SAN ANTONIO is 17-6 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 this season.

My own projections make this offered Total slightly bloated as my number is closer to 229. I know its just a few points, but from system vs system matchup chart I use the numbers suggest a combined score in the vicinity of 225 via a variable chart that is also in place, thus giving us added value to the under. Note: CHARLOTTE is 10-2 UNDER when the total is greater than or equal to 230 this season. ( Charlotte is ranked 20th in pace and 18th in ppg scored and can only compete by being more physical, which will effect overall scoring output) The Warriors are 0-11 UNDER on the road with rest off a loss when they are off two games in which their opponent had double-digit steals with the average combined score clicking in at 182.1 ppg . The Hornets are 0-11 UNDER as a dog with less than two days rest off a loss in which they scored 10 or more points in the fourth than the first quarter with a average combined score of 195.1 ppg scored.

The Nuggets have owned opponents at home this season winning 20 of 24 games here in the Mile High City which includes a 121-100 win vs todays visitor the LA Clippers back on Jan 10. I know the Clippers will be out to bounce back and be more competitive in the rematch, but my power rankings system vs system matchup analysis suggests that this is not a good matchup for the Clippers and avoiding a more than 9 point loss, is not a high probability occurrence. With that said, Im recommending we lay the points with the home side. The Nuggets are 11-0 ATS/SU as a favorite with less than two days rest off a win in which their opponent made at least 10 more free throws.The Nuggets are 17-2 ATS/18-1 SU at home with less than two days rest off a win as a road favorite.

The Toronto Raptors are playing in top tier form at the moment and have won 7 straight games, and will be ramped up to deliver payback to a Orlando team that beat them by a surprising 116-87 count back in December . The Magic , however, won't be easily intimidated as they have also been playing decent ball winning 5 of their L/6. What Im betting on here today is for the Raptors despite of the early start to be wide awake and to come out here running and gunning and to pour down points in revenge mode against the Magic and for the young men from Central Florida to fire back in chase mode in a game I have pegged to go over the set total. TORONTO is 11-3 OVER revenging a loss vs opponent this season with a combined average of 227.7 ppg scored. The Raptors are 8-0 OVER after a game as a home favorite in which they had fewer than 10 turnovers with a combined average of 233 ppg scored which was the case last time out vs San Antonio. NBA teams where the total is 210 to 219.5 (TORONTO) - after 5 or more consecutive wins, extremely well rested team - playing 5 or less games in 14 days are 39-11 OVER L/22 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors with a combined average of 224 ppg going on the score board.

The Jazz were absolutely embarrassed and smashed by Dallas the last time these teams met earlier this season by a 118-68 count. It was the Jazz’ worst loss in franchise history. Tonight Im betting pay back is on the agenda and if recent history repeats itself like I think it will the Jazz will increase on a 3-0 ATS record when seeking revenge from a 40-point or more loss. The Jazz have also won and covered 4 straight in same-season non-divisional revenge this season and from a league wide NBA data base it must be reported that sides playing with revenge from a loss of 50 or more points are 4-0 ATS against teams playing on back to back nights like Dallas is. Its not often I lay DDs, but this situation warrants laying this many points. UTAH is 9-1 ATS off 2 or more consecutive road losses over the last 2 seasons.

Note: Sacramento runs at the 3rd fastest pace in the league and owns the 27th ranked defence. Meanwhile, the Thunder own the 2nd ranked pace , and the leagues 3rd best offensive output . This total might seem high , but the the speed these teams play and the way they can pour down points Im betting the Total gets eclipsed. Oklahoma City beat the Kings on the road this season by a 132-111 count. Im expecting Thunder to explode for close to the same amount this time around and for the Kings to eclipse their previous out put. SACRAMENTO is 12-1 OVER as a road underdog on the opening line of 6.5 to 12 points this season. The Thunder are 14-1-1 OVER off a win as a home favorite in which their points increased by at least 25 from the game before.The Kings are 23-5-2 OVER as a dog with rest after a game as a road dog in which out scoring their opponent in the paint by double digits.

Dallas has won and covered 3 of their L/4 as hosts and Im recommending we take the points in this spot play. Denver HC Malone is 4-15 ATS in road games off 2 or more consecutive home wins in all games he has coached since 1996 ( The Nuggets won their L/2 before the all star break) DENVER is 8-20 ATS in road games when playing against a team with a losing record over the last 2 seasons.

Yes, the Spurs were slumping and yes the Raptors have revenge on board, but because of this the price being asked on the line a is a little bloated according to my projections. The line I have set clicks in a 4.5 so according to my estimates we have value with a talented San Antonio team that desperately needs to get back on track and won't be easily run over here. Note: TORONTO is 3-13 ATS in home games revenging a loss vs opponent of 10 points or more over the last 3 seasons. Spurs are 13-3 SU L/16 overall meetings and are 5-0 ATS L/5 battles.

Damian Lillard scored 29 points. Im betting he will be the key again here tonight in a road victory for the Blazers.PORTLAND is 8-1 ATS after a blowout win by 15 points or more this season.

The Heat base all their successes and failures on their ability to play gritty shutdown defence, and tonight against the explosive Philadelphia 76ers Im expecting more of the same action. With Philadelphia expected to play without the injured Joel Embiid ( knee) Im betting the Sixers ability flow freely in offence will also be hindered. This above combination has a high probability of making for a lower scoring game than the linesmkaers are expecting and thus Im recommending a under wager here . The Heat rank third in the league in points per game allowed (105.7 ppg) and 27th in point scored ( 105.1 ppg).

02-21-19 | Suns v. Cavs | 98-111 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
Two NBA bottom feeders go head to head tonight in Cleveland with the Suns visiting the Cavs. . The Suns have lost 15 straight games , while the Cavaliers dropped 23 of their past 27 games. If th Suns lose they will have broken a franchise record, and tonight because of their embarrassing scenario will be extremely primed to get a win. QUOTE:"Fresh start. We have a stretch of games, very winnable games for us," Suns shooting guard Devin Booker told reporters. "Cleveland, Atlanta, Miami -- so we're about to go out East for the last time and hopefully come out with some big wins." END QUOTE. If there is a game that the Suns can win its this one and and they as a group will be hell bent on getting the victory making them a viable side to back. Cleveland in 19 non conference games this season has seen a averagepoint differential of 14.4 ppg.CLEVELAND is 10-23 ATS against Pacific division opponents over the last 3 seasons. NBA Home teams with a money line of +135 to -155 (CLEVELAND) - horrible team - outscored by their opponents by 9+ points/game against opponent after allowing 100 points or more 3 straight games are 12-39 SU l22 seasons for a go against 77% conversion rate for bettors on the blind. NBA Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 (PHOENIX) - off a road loss by 10 points or more, in February games are 25-7 ATS L/5 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors. Phoenix to cover |

02-17-19 | Team LeBron v. Team Giannis +6 | 178-164 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
I have analyzed the rosters and matchups for this contest and Im now releasing a very viable point-spread selection. I will say its been a while since I bet a All star fromat game, but this one has enough value that Im willing to recommend we pull the trigger. Alot is being made of Super star LeBron James side, but the Greek Freak Antetokounmpo and center Joel Embiid and Thunder forward Paul George,Stephen Curry and Kemba Walker (playing at home in Charlotte) are a big strong group with heaps of athletic prowess and will not make life easy for James and company.With Russell Westbrook and Middleton coming off the bench this Giannis group is dangerous and a good bet in my opinion getting points. Take the points with Team Giannis |

02-14-19 | Thunder v. Pelicans +5 | 122-131 | Win | 100 | 12 h 9 m | Show | |
The Pelicans looked horrendous in a ugly effort vs Oralndo last time out, as the team as a whole stunk out the place as they showed their displeasure in having tp play alongside super star Anthony Davis , a ego that isn't really interested in being a part of this group. Davis himeslef had the second-lowest point total of his seven-year career in games in which he has played 20 or more minutes. He had two points in 20 minutes against Toronto as a rookie.Davis had just three points on 1-of-9 shooting and in 24 minutes of the Pelicans nasty 118-88 home loss to Orlando on Tuesday. However, now after being embarrassed I expect Davis will come out here like his hairs on fire and in effort to keep pace with Westbook and company tonight, and for his teammates at least temporarily come to life behind him in an effort to take down a red hot Oklahoma City team. The Pelicans have covered 4 of the L/6 meetings in this series and my choice getting points tonight. It must be noted that the Pelicans are 12-0 ATS L/12 off a loss in a home game. Donovan is 8-21 ATS in road games after covering 5 or 6 of their last 7 against the spread as the coach of OKLAHOMA CITY. NBA Home underdogs (NEW ORLEANS) - revenging a road loss vs opponent, off an upset loss by 15 points or more as a favorite are 54-22 ATS L/22 seasons for a 71% conversion rate for bettors. NBA Home underdogs (NEW ORLEANS) - off an upset loss as a home favorite, second half of the season are 45-17 ATS L/5 seasons for a 73% conversion rate for bettors. Play on New Orleans to cover |

02-14-19 | Hornets +3.5 v. Magic | 89-127 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
The Hornets have beaten the Magic 13 times in a row, including six straight at Orlando and Im betting if they lose tonight they won't go down without a fight and actually matchup well vs a Orlando team that despite of playing well at the moment are far from consistent. It must also be noted that the Magic: 1-16 L17 as division home favs and just don't inspire me.The Magic in their two meetings this season vs Charlotte were horrendous from down beyond the arc going a combined 16-for-66 (24.2 percent) and Im betting their inability to pop and stop from downtown vs this Hornets group will be their downfall again. Note: ORLANDO is 7-17 ATS as a home favorite over the last 2 seasons. The Magic are 0-10 ATS/1-9 SU at home when the line is within 3 of pick with less than two days rest off a road game in which they had assists on at least 70 percent of their field goals with the only SU win coming by 2 points. The Magic are 0-11 ATS/SU at home with rest off a win facing an opponent averaging less than 6 refereed turnovers per game. Play on Charlotte to cover |

Denver plays its best basketball at home and are 24-4 SU & 20-8 ATS as hosts this season coming into this tilt vs Sacramento. Meanwhile, the Kings while looking very competitive this season do not match up well on the road vs teams that can run and gun with them like Denver can as is evident by the following trend.SACRAMENTO is 1-8 ATS in a road game where the total is greater than or equal to 230 this season with the average point differential -14.3 ppg. Also DENVER is 18-8 ATS in home games versus teams who attempt 18 or more 3 point shots/game on the season this season with the average differential of +12.1 ppg. DENVER is 15-2 ATS in home games after 1 or more consecutive wins this season (Denver beat Miami 103-87 here in the MileHigh City last time out) The Kings are 0-15 ATS /0-15 SU on the road off a game as a favorite facing an opponent averaging more than 24 assists per game.The Nuggets are 13-0 ATS/ SU as a home favorite off a win after a game with 8+ lead changes and it is before the All-Star break.

Miami has been struggling of late , but must not be underestimated in their ability to cover or pull off an upset here vs a Dallas team that is highly inconsistent despite of of the accolades it gets from the media for having a rising star in their lineup , Luka Doncic. With this being both teams last game before the all star break I expect a spirited affair that will see getting points to be a golden proposition. MIAMI is 21-9 ATS vs. teams who are called for 2+ less fouls/game than their opponents over the last 3 seasons.MIAMI is 31-17 ATS in road games versus good offensive teams - scoring 106+ points/game over the last 3 seasons.

02-13-19 | Heat v. Mavs UNDER 208 | 112-101 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
Miami enters this game ranked 3rd in ppg allowed in the NBA behind the 24th ranked pace and 27th ranked offense. Needless to say the Heat play a methodical brand of hoops that has resulted in some lower scoring affairs. Here on the road in their 5th straight road game, Im betting the pesky Heat gear down once again in turn this into a war in the trenches vs their hosts the Mavericks which will result in a lower scoring tilt than the lines-makers might expect. Note: DALLAS is 23-11 UNDER in a home game where the total is 200 to 209.5 over the last 3 seasons with the average combined score of 201.7 ppg being scored. The Heat are 0-23-2 UNDER as a dog with rest off a road game facing an opponent averaging less than 58 ppg from 2-point range with the average combined score of 189.2 ppg scored. The Mavericks are 0-18 UNDER when the line is within 3 of pick with less than two days rest off a game as a dog facing an opponent averaging more than 5 blocks per game with the average combined score of 182.2 ppg going on the board. NBA teams where the total is 200 to 209.5 (DALLAS) - teams with a offensive output (102 or more PPG) against a team that allows(102 or more PPG), after trailing their last 3 games by 5+ points at the half are 34-11 L/22 seasons for a 76% conversion rate for bettors.

02-13-19 | Grizzlies v. Bulls -1.5 | 110-122 | Win | 100 | 11 h 24 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bulls will be motivated to avoid a winless home stand vs a side that they matchup well against when they host the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.The Grizzlies will be playing on short rest after losing 108-107 to the visiting San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night and now exhausted and in a letdown spot are susceptible to a down effort vs a Chicago side that went 2-0 against the Grizzlies last season, with both wins coming by single digits. The lines-makers once again expect a close game, but my own projections estimate that the Bulls should be 3 point chalk here at home, which give credence to me backing the Bulls in this spot play. Note: Mike Conley's status for this game is questionable as he suffers with a undisclosed illness. MEMPHIS is 4-13 ATS off a loss against a division rival over the last 2 seasons. The Bulls are 18-0 ATS /16-2 SU when the line is within 3 of pick off a loss as a dog when they won 2 straight vs current opponent and it is before the All-Star break. NBA Home favorites vs. the money line (CHICAGO) - average 3PT shooting team (33-36.5%) against an average 3PT defense (33-36.5%) after 42+ games, good ball handling team (14.5 or less TO) vs. an average pressure defense (14.5-16.5 TO) after 42+ games are 105-26 L/5 seasons for a 80% conversion rate for bettors.

02-12-19 | Celtics v. 76ers UNDER 226 | 112-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Despite of an explosive offensive lineup, coach Brett Brown's attention is now on defense and preparing for the playoffs. QUOTE: "All I think about is, 'How do you have a defense that can play in the playoffs?'" he said."Right now, the pace of the game made the game a little bit difficult. I think our defense right now is a B- or C+. We're OK. We turn it up; we turn it down. It needs to be better than it is. It's certainly going to have to be better against the Celtics. But the notion of what's the end game, it's always about the playoffs." END QUOTE: Meanwhile, Boston will come in here without Kyrie Irving, which will curtail their offensive abilities, and will make them more focused on playing top tier basketball in an effort to slow their ferocious opponent. Considering the circumstances, and both teams situations, Im expecting a play off type game here that is alot more physical than many might expect and as a result a much lower scoring game than the linesmakers might also expect. BOSTON is 10-0 UNDER in road games versus sub par defensive teams - allowing 110+ points/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons with a combined average score of 206.9 ppg scored. PHILADELPHIA is 11-1 UNDER (+9.9 Units) in home games after a combined score of 245 points or more with a combined average score of 198.3 ppg .

Orlando is playing decently and have won their first two games of their current 3 game road trip and 3 in a row, but are still a team that is far from being considered a upper tier team, and not a group that have proven long term consistent upward trajectory status. Meanwhile, their hosts tonight the Pelicans, are off a loss last time out, to the Grizzlies, in a ugly game (99-90), on the 10th of Feb, but should now be well rested and ready to rebound, as they become acclimated to having super star Anthony Davis back in the lineup. Pelicans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss.Pelicans are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games.Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference.

Milwaukee's star player Giannis Antetokounmpo is suffering with some knee pain, and despite of being expected to play tonight is less than 100%. The last time out the Bucks struggled in a home loss to the Orlando Magic and blamed it on tired legs. Well Im sure that was true, but another truth is that the Bucks have come at opponents relentlessly this season and are not pacing themselves and I wont be surprised if that comes back to haunt them again tonight. Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Central.Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.Bulls are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.

It must be noted that the Mavericks have lost 10 straight games when playing without rest against same-season avenging side and are just 0-8 SU and 1-7 ATS as a road dog without rest after facing the Blazers.

With Kevin Love back from injury and Brandon Knight now in the Cleveland lineup theirs alot more offensive firepower on the floor for the Cavs and Im betting that will show here tonight against the Knicks on the scoreboard. The Knicks also have a little more fire power with DeAndre Jordan now here after being traded and the top tier play of the young Mitchell who is averaging 13 ppg via 76.2 % shooting conversion rate in just 20.3 minutes over his last three games. With the Knicks desperate to end a 16 game losing streak, Im betting they come out here spitting bullets, and Im betting Cleveland reciprocates with some offensive fire works of their own in a game I have pegged to eclipse this number which isn't reflective of the current rosters. Fizdale is 23-9 OVER in road games after failing to cover 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread in all games he has coached since 1996 with a combined average of 213.1 ppg scored.

There is value on this underdog line and we must always follow long term edges, win or lose. Look for Hassan WhiteSide who has recorded a double-double in each of the last four games and is shooting 67.3 percent from the floor in these tilts to be a key factor here tonight in making this alot more physical than the Warriors would like.

The Lakers looked good in a win vs the Boston Celtics 3 days ago as underdogs, and now with some momentum on their sides, Im betting Philadelphia will have to play hard to take the Lakers out here , especially if key player Joel Embiid does not play because of illness. Thus getting points here with the Lakers is a viable opportunity to cash a ticket. Add to that the Lakers have revenge on board for a loss they suffered in LA 121-105, and we have a nice revenge situation to bet into. The Lakers are 12-0 ATS L/12 off a game as a dog in which their opponent made at least 10 more free throws and are are 11-0 ATS on the road with rest off a win as a road dog after scoring 15+ points more than Vegas projected.

Newly acquired Porter shot 7-for-9 overall and 4-for-5 on 3-pointers, helping the Bulls convert 50.0 percent of their 28 attempts from three point land. Porter got the start alongside Lauri Markkanen in both looked to mesh well together as does Guard Zach LaVine. This group looks to have chemistry and must be respected here as dogs tonight vs a poor travelling Washington team that have lost 21 of 28 road games. The Bulls won 101-92 at Washington in December in the clubs' only previous meeting this season. The win was the Chicago's second straight over Washington and a third straight win is not out of the question tonight.

There was a vibe around the Pelicans last night against the Minnesota Wolves that was not a positive one despite of team winning. It seems to me , that this group isn't thrilled about having super star Anthony Davis back in the lineup. Yes, they pulled off the victory but , it seemed like their was a real awkward adjustment having the self centered star back in the lineup , knowing that he doesnt want to be there, making them fade material tonight vs a much hungrier Grizzlies team with a more positive vibe after some players were traded .Coach Alvin Gentry didn't play Davis in the final 15-plus minutes even though Minnesota made it a one-possession game several times while Davis sat. The Grizzlies are 13-1 ATS/SU at home when the line is within 3 of pick off a road game after rebounding less than 20% of their own misses and it is before the All-Star break.The Pelicans are 0-8 ATS/SU on the road with no rest when their opponent is seeking same season revenge for a loss at home.

Two Southeast division rivals to battle tonight in Atalanta. The Hawks are a team that I have as moving upward in my rankings on a consistent basis. Their youth both hinders them and aids them, and must be respected here vs a inconsistent Charlotte team getting points.Atlanta had its two-game winning streak broken on Thursday night by the Toronto Raptors in a 119-101 home loss, but for the first part of that game the Hawks looked like upset possibilities before Toronto put the hammer down.ATLANTA is 19-8 ATS off a home loss by 10 points or more over the last 2 seasons.

With Jeff Teague expected to miss or be at less than 100% if he does play the Wolves now on tired legs after playing last night definitely look to be at a disadvantage. Note: The Timberwolves are 1-23 ATS /0-24 SU as a dog with less than two days rest off a 10+ loss in a road game facing an opponent averaging less than 6 refereed turnovers per game. The Pelicans are 10-0 ATS/SU as a favorite off a win in a road game in which they has at least twice as many assists as turnovers with the average margin of victory coming 16.4 ppg. NBA Road underdogs (MINNESOTA) - after a road game where both teams score 100 or more points, a marginal losing team (40% to 49%) playing a losing team are 18-47 ATS L/5 seasons for a go against 72% conversion rate for bettors on the blind. This is the final meeting between Minnesota and New Orleans this season. The home team has won each of the previous three meetings and Im betting the home team holds serve again.

02-08-19 | Bucks v. Mavs +8 | 122-107 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
The Bucks are an explosive team , and look like viable threats to Golden States supremacy. But teams like Dallas must not be underestimated when playing at home in front of their own fans. HC Carlisle is top tier coach, and has instilled a never say die attitude into his now talent laden playing personnel. Overall the Mavs have played teams like the Bucks well, as is evident by DALLAS going 7-0 ATS versus up-tempo teams averaging 88 or more shots/game - 2nd half of the season this season.DALLAS is also 22-10 ATS versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 110+ points/game this season with the average point diff clicking in at minuscule 0.2 ppg. Carlisle in 265 games as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points as the coach of DALLAS has seen the average point diff click in at 4.2 ppg. The Mavericks are 14-0-2 ATS at home after a game with 8+ lead changes which was the case in a 99-93 win vs Charlotte last time out. Bucks are 1-9-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings.Bucks are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Dallas.Underdog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Dallas has covered 8 straight games overall, and Im betting on another cover here as they add to a 9-1 ATS record as a home underdog this season. Play on Dallas to cover |

02-08-19 | Cavs +10 v. Wizards | 106-119 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
Washington as this big a favorite against anyone in the NBA just does not sit well with me, even though they are on their own home court vs a struggling lower tier team. The Wizards are just 3-9 ATS L/12 vs a sub .500 team, and have failed to cover 8 of their L/11 vs the NBA Central. Meanwhile, the Cavs are starting to show some upward trajectory from a betting perspective and have covered 4 straight vs NBA eastern foes, and are 5-2 ATS L/7 vs Southeast division opposition. The Cavs are also 4-1 ATS L/5 in their series and the underdog has covered 7 of the L/8 meetings and once again the away pup looks like a viable option a DD line that Im betting is bloated. The Cavaliers are 10-1 ATS L/11 as a road dog with more than one day of rest when they won 2 straight vs current opponent. The Wizards are 0-12 ATS/1-11 SU with rest off a 10+ loss in a road game and it is before the All-Star break with the one win coming by 3 points. NBA Road underdogs of 10 or more points (CLEVELAND) - poor foul drawing team - attempting 24 or less free throws/game, terrible defensive team - shooting pct defense of 48% or better on the season are a long term profitable bet, going 58-37 ATS L/22 seasons for a 61% conversion rate for bettors.

02-08-19 | Knicks +9 v. Pistons | 103-120 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
Oh boy the Knicks a storied NBA franchise is completely in a disarray and now embarking on a rebuild, but with some stable bodies and minds guiding the way as guards Dennis Smith Jr. and Wesley Matthews as well as center DeAndre Jordan are inserted into the starting lineup. The Knicks current 14 game losing streak tells a story of a team that had no chemistry and very little will to win. However, thanks to these trades and overall house cleaning, the Knicks Im betting will show some fight here in the 2nd of back to back games vs the Detroit Pistons. ( Motown won the first game in this b2b) Knicks are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.Pistons are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. Road team is 5-0 ATS L/5 in this series.DETROIT is 3-12 ATS (-10.2 Units) in home games against Atlantic division opponents over the last 2 seasonsThe Pistons are 0-15 ATS L/15 as a favorite off a 10+ win in which they had at least a 10 percent higher BAP than their opponent and it is before the All-Star break.The Pistons are 0-11 ATS L/11 at home with more than one day of rest off a 10+ win as a favorite in which they had more than 8 times as` many field goal attempts as turnovers.

02-08-19 | Cavs v. Wizards OVER 220 | 106-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Washington usually runs and guns with reckless abandon and tonight against a more conservative Cleveland team nothing will change, thus automatically pushing the Cavalier to up their pace and to run with the Wizards in a gem I have pegged to eclipse this beatable number. The Wizards are 16-0 OVER L/16 with less than two days rest off a road game in which they shot over 50% from the field which happened in a loss vs the Milwaukee last time out. The average combined score of those 16 tilts clicks in at 231.2 ppg. WASHINGTON is 14-5 OVER in a home game where the total is greater than or equal to 220 this season with a combined average of 239 ppg scored. Brooks is 16-5 OVER versus terrible defensive teams - allowing 110+ points/game - 2nd half of the season in all games he has coached since 1996 with a combined average score of 231 ppg scored. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (CLEVELAND) - after a game where they covered the spread, extremely well rested team - playing 3 or less games in 10 days are 95-44 OVER L/5 seasons for a 68% conversion rate for bettors on the blind. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (WASHINGTON) - after going over the total by more than 6 points in three consecutive games, on Friday nights are 36-13 OVER L/5 seasons for a 74% conversion rate for bettors.

02-07-19 | Raptors v. Hawks +9 | 119-101 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
The Raptors are off a big win vs the Philadelphia 76ers last time out in a start to finish victory. That impressive outing, also came at a price as this team exerted alot of energy and will now be emotionally drained, even with a couple days rest, against a young Atlanta team that loves to run and gun.The Hawks are an up trending team that must not be discounted, having gone 12-12 since Dec. 18. and have won two in a row. Note:The Raptors are 1-13 ATS L/14 with rest off a road game.The Raptors are 3-17 ATS with less than two days rest off a win as a road dog in which they had more than 8 times as` many field goal attempts as turnovers which happened vs the Sixers. The Hawks are 6-0 ATS /5-1 SU with rest off a win in which their turnovers decreased by at least 10 from the game before. Play on Atlanta to cover |

02-07-19 | Clippers v. Pacers -5.5 | 92-116 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
The Clippers will be without leading scorer Tobias Harris, key chemistry cog Boban Marjanovic and their top bench player Mike Scott after all three were traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in a deal that was made official Wednesday. Considering their new lineup, Im betting the Clippers will have their hands full with a Pacers team off a 42 point diff beatdown of the LA Lakers last time out and suddenly on a 3 game win streak, after initially looking downtrodden, when their leading scorer Victor Oladipo (knee) was lost for the season. Now feeling confident I expect the Pacers with momentum to come out here and lay down another beatdown on a LA team. I also know that the Clippers are supposed to have Gallinari back in the lineup tonight, but after a long lay off he is rusty, and far from being the kind of player that can carry a team on his back. With that said , its Pacers all the way here. The Clippers are 1-20-2 ATS on the road with rest off a game as a dog when they lost 4 straight vs current opponent Home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (INDIANA) - off a home win by 10 points or more, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team 104-58 ATS L/5 seasons for a 65% conversion rate for bettors.

Minnesota enters this game banged up with Jeff Teague downgraded to doubtful Thursday vs Orlando ( Foot ) [PG] 02/05/2019 - Derrick Rose is "?" Thursday vs Orlando ( Ankle ) [PG] 01/16/2019 - Tyus Jones is out indefinitely ( Ankle ) [SF] 01/03/2019 - Robert Covington is out indefinitely ( Ankle ). Needless to say Im projecting that the Wolves will hav problems scoring tonight, and will be out to play a more conservative survival type of game plan.Orlando is 8th in ppg allowed in the league behind the 25th ranked pace 27th ranked offensive output and have the ability to slow the Wolves down, and limit their scoring output , especially with Teague out. Orlando is also off a run and gun affair last time out vs Oklahoma City (122-132) , on the road and are now on tired legs, as the all star breaks nears and the trade deadline rumours surrounding the team keep them off balance and Im betting directly effects their overall energy levels tonight.

Houston looks like a viable short favorite here vs a Sacramento Kings team that they matchup well against according to my system vs system analysis charts. Houston has won 3 of their L/4 visits here and gets the nod again. HOUSTON is 13-4 ATS in road games when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%) - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons. The Rockets are 11-0 ATS/SU as a road favorite with less than two days rest off a game as a favorite after a win in which they never trailed which was the case in Phoenix last time out.The Kings are 2-16 ATS/SU when the line is within 3 of pick after they had at least 5 turnovers less than their season-to-date average.

Its not very often lay this much lumber with an NBA game, but the truth is Phoenix is just a bad team, and their banged up and short handed as their best player Devon Booker will be out the the lineup tonight as is forward Dragan Bender (thumb) is day-to-day, while forward T.J. Warren (ankle) is out until the All-Star break. After being humiliated by Houston in a 125-98 loss on Saturday you can bet the Jazz on extended rest will be ready to run here tonight and what Im betting will be an easy win and cover. PHOENIX is 10-22 ATS versus good offensive teams - scoring 106+ points/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons with the average ppg differential clicking in at around 15 ppg.

Im projecting that the banged up and short handed Suns will have problems putting points on the road here tonight against a well rested Jazz team. Im betting this disheartened Suns team will play closer attention to defense and just try to get out of here without being to embarrassed by the final score. That will result in a total combined score that stays on the low side of the number. UTAH has gone UNDER in 19 of their L/24 off a double digit loss as a home favorite of 6 or more with he combined average score clicking in at 192.7 ppg. The Suns are 0-9 UNDER L/9 as a road 8+ dog off a loss as a home dog when they lost 2 straight vs current opponent.

The Hornets are 0-7 ATS /SU on the road off a game as a favorite facing an opponent with an assist-to-turnover ratio greater than 1.5 .

02-06-19 | Nuggets +3.5 v. Nets | 130-135 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
Both these teams enter this game a little banged up, and are looking forward to the all star break. Both teams have looked good this season, but Denver according to my power rankings is the superior side. It must be noted that his Brooklyn team is suddenly in a funk and on a 3 game losing streak and are pooched and in an emotional letdown spot after tangling with Milwaukee last time out, which makes them susceptible to being possibly upset here right in their own backyard. With that said, Im recommending we take the points with the Nuggets. The Nets are 0-14-1 ATS /0-15 SU at home when the line is within 3 of pick off a loss as a dog in which they shot under 40% from the field and it is before the All-Star break and are 1-18-1 ATS / 1-19 SU at home when the line is within 3 of pick off a loss as a dog in which they shot under 40% from the field.

NBA Home teams where the line is +3 to -3 (BROOKLYN) - sub par defensive team - allowing 103+ points/game on the season against opponent after scoring 55 points or more in the first half in 2 straight games are 99-147 ATS L/22 seasons for a go against 60% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

These are two talented teams Toronto and Philadelphia , but Im betting the home court advantage will be the difference maker here tonight. Add to that Raptors star Lowry is less than 100% and questionable and we have enough edge here vs some short chalk to consider this a value call. Note the home team has won the L/5 meetings in this series. PHILADELPHIA is 21-9 ATS in home games versus teams who attempt 18 or more 3 point shots/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons. PHILADELPHIA is 10-1 ATS in home games in February games over the last 3 seasons.

Sacramento is on a 7 game home winning streak, but all good and bad runs must come to end. Tonight Im betting the Kings winning streak comes to an abrupt end vs a Spurs team in top form and off a win Saturday night that has them entering this tilt with the momentum of a five-game winning streak. San Antonio has thrived in the recent past against teams like the Kings. SAN ANTONIO is 18-5 ATS versus good shooting teams - making 46% or more of their shots this season and is 20-9 ATS versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 110+ points/game this season.Add that the Spurs will be very motivated here as they seek revenge for a loss here back in December.

Indiana and New Orleans two teams playing without key players go head to head tonight in the Bayou. Indiana is without Victor Oladipo and New Orleans without the often injured Anthony Davis who is asking to be traded. Both are struggling to an extent without those key cogs, but Im betting the Pelicans have the edge here tonight at home as I really like how this team has played without Davis, staying competitive vs Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs in the last two games and losing by an average of just 5.5 points.Pacers are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings.Pelicans are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

This is a division game and Im expecting some physical action here , which Im betting results in a lower scoring game than the linesmakers are estimating. My own line projects a combined score of closer to 229 which gives us close to a two possession under situation.
