01-05-22 | Creighton v. Villanova -10.5 | 41-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
Creighton at Villanova 8:30 ET Wildcats (-) over Blue Jays- Here is Villanova 9-4 and still ranked No. 19 and I believe that even with four losses the Wildcats are given respect because nine of their 13 games have been played on the road. One of their losses came at Creighton three weeks ago and the Wildcats are ready to get a bit of revenge here as they are 5-1 ATS in their last six as home favorites. Creighton is just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games and 2-5 ATS after an ATS win. Take VILLANOVA! |

01-05-22 | Warriors v. Mavs +5 | Top | 82-99 | Win | 100 | 4 h 38 m | Show |
Golden State at Dallas 7:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- Ok, a little different but basically the same thing here as with the Steelers salute to Big Ben they 'play' for their guy and win. Tonight, on exhibit in Dallas tonight where one of rie own is being honored. Adam Silver among other will be present as the No. 41 jersey of Dirk Nowitzki is being retired. Emotion may play a part of the play as both teams enter playing well but the Warriors are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 games following a straight up win and just 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
01-05-22 | VCU +3.5 v. Dayton | 53-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
Virginia Commonwealth at Dayton 7:00 ET Rams (+) over Flyers- These two Atlantic-10 clubs are both defensive clubs that are limited on the offensive end of the floor. VCU allows just 56.7 PPG ranking 5th in the nation while Dayton is not as impressive allowing 64.4 PPG but still a decent number. Although this is a favorite (8-3 ATS) and home team series (10-1 ATS) the Rams can break through all that as they are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games and the Flyers are 2-5 ATS as home favorites. Take VCU! |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Pittsburgh v. Louisville -12 | 72-75 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Louisville 7:00 ET Cardinals (-) over Panthers- Hey guys, I'm not kidding here but this 8-5 ATS team, the Pitt Panthers may be the worst Big East team to suit up this year. The Panthers score just 61.2 PPG ranking 338 and have lost to The Citadel, Monmouth and U. Maryland Baltimore County. Louisville is already 3-0 in conference play and the home team is series 4-1 ATS and the favorites own this series going 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings. The Cardinals like to beat on the little guy as they are 19-9-1 ATS against teams with losing records. Take LOUISVILLE! |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Providence v. Marquette -117 | 56-88 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Providence at Marquette 9:00 ET Warriors over Friars- The Golden Eagles have dropped four straight including home losses to Connecticut and to Creighton 75-69 in overtime and are now 8-6 on the season. No. 17 Providence is 13-1 winning their last eight with their lone loss coming at Virginia in November. What bothers me here because I like the underdog is that the favorite is 20-7 ATS in the last 27 meetings but, I am sure the circumstances have not been the same in most cases. Here come the Friars ranked and rolling along finding themselves less than a distance shot favorite. Too easy...take MARQUETTE! |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Vanderbilt +7.5 v. Arkansas | 75-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt at Arkansas 8:30 ET Commodores over Razorbacks – Moving in different directions Vanderbilt won their last three games before the New Year break while the Razorbacks have lost 3-of-4. The Commodores make it the Final in the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii but the game had to be cancelled when Stanford claimed sickly and they have had 12 days off. Vandy gets the best of the number when on the road and are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 away games and 16-6-4 ATS in their last 26 games. Take VANDERBILT! |

01-04-22 | Suns v. Pelicans +7.5 | 123-110 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
Phoenix at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Suns- Because of the health protocols Phoenix has been playing short-handed but with four players down it didn't stop them from trouncing the Hornets in Charlotte as they finish a three game trip that started with a loss at Boston on New Year's Eve and they have dropped 3-of-5 overall. The Pelicans have been spotty but are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and 7-3 ATS as their last 10 as home underdogs. Suns just 2-5 ATS after a 10-point win. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Illinois v. Minnesota +7 | 76-53 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Illinois at Minnesota 7;00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Fighting Illini- Illinois was ranked, I think they were ranked, yes I'm sure they were ranked and I posted on and against them when they played Iowa and Arizona and won them both. The Fighting Illini are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as road favorites and 1-5 ATS when playing against teams with 60% or better winning percentage. Add that the Golden Gophers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Kentucky v. LSU -2 | Top | 60-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
Kentucky at L.S.U. 7:00 ET Tigers over Wildcats- Kentucky off a big Tubby Smith honoring last Friday crushed under-manned High Point 92-48 and it says two things and that is the Wildcats like to beat up on the little guy and Tubby Smith's better days are behind him. Shooting 60% against that talent level is no go great accomplishment as they embark on just their second true road game of the season. In their first road attempt at Notre Dame (We win Megabucks) they lost outright 66-62 as a 5-point favorite and the same should happen here tonight as they are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine road games. Tigers are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 home games. Take LOUISIANA STATE! |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Florida State +1.5 v. Wake Forest | Top | 54-76 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
Florida State at Wake Forest 7:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Demon Deacons- It's difficult to gage just how good some of these college teams are right now or how good they should be right now as the virus has slowed down a number of programs. One of which is Florida State as they had 17 days of inaction and at 7-4 SU and it is hard to be impressed. Wake Forest at 11-3 SU should be by all rights a much bigger favorite at home where they are 8-0 SU and 5-2 ATS as favorites. To compound the strangeness of this low 'price' the Seminoles are 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games. I think that this one smells and look for the Deacons to get scalped by the Seminoles! Take FLORIDA STATE! |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Wolves +4 v. Clippers | Top | 122-104 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
Minnesota at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Clippers- The Timberwolves are beginning to look like a real basketball team after years of ineptitude but a recent swoon losing five of six has them under .500 again. Los Angeles is off a win over Brooklyn Saturday night as a 13-point underdog and return home winning 2-of-3 on the road. Minnesota is 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games as road dogs and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Clippers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 2-8 ATS as favorites. Take MINNESOTA! |

01-03-22 | Hawks -5.5 v. Blazers | 131-136 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 24 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Portland 10:00 ET Hawks (-) over Trailblazers- With COVID affecting and infecting both these clubs the 'lines' have jumped beyond the norms. Atlanta still have five players in protocol and will be without coach Nate McMillan while Portland with be without their dynamic guard duo of Lillard and McCollum along with four others in protocol. The Trailblazers are in a funk and have lost four straight and 14 of 17 and are 1-8 ATS in their last nine home games. Take ATLANTA! |

01-03-22 | Hornets +2.5 v. Wizards | 121-124 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
Charlotte at Washington 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Wizards- Washington is playing tough but just not able to close the deal while the Hornets are buzzing with offense ranked No. 2 in the NBA with 114.7 PPG. Charlotte was crushed by the Sun Sunday ending a 3-game win streak and is 7-1 ATS after a SU loss, while the Wizards' loss (but covered) against Chicago at the final horn Saturday. The Wiz are just 2-7 ATS as home favorites and are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Suns v. Hornets +2.5 | 133-99 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Suns- It happens to all professional teams and it appears to be happening to Phoenix right now as they have hit a bit of a lull. Teams no matter how good or bad have streaks where they are just not in sync and that is happening to the Suns right now as they have lost 3-of-4 and this off course after an 18-game winning streak. Part of the problem is that the Suns have between five and seven player on and off the COVID list. Charlotte is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and are 5-2 ATS against the Suns in the last seven meetings. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Heat v. Kings +4 | 113-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
COVID Game of the Week! Miami at Sacramento 6:00 ET Kings (+) over Heat- On Friday, the Heat, despite missing seven players due to COVID protocol, returned to the court and beat the host Houston Rockets, 120-110. Miami signed Mario Chalmers and Chris Silva to 10-day contracts on Friday in order to have enough players to meet the NBA's requirements. Besides the COVID list, the Heat is also without two-time All-Star Victor Oladipo (quadriceps); one-time All-Star Bam Adebayo (thumb surgery) as well as role players Dewayne Dedmon (knee); Markieff Morris (neck); and KZ Okpala (wrist). Take SACRAMENTO! |

Indiana at Cleveland 6:10 ET Pacers (+) over Cavaliers- The surprising Cavaliers are facing their first tough stretch as they have dropped their last three after reaching a season high 7-games over .500 their best standing since LeBron left. Indiana is also on a three game slide and are off a 108-106 buzzer beating loss to Chicago Friday night but are happy to be in Cleveland. The Pacers have won the last five meetings SU and are 23-10-3 ATS in the last 36 meetings and 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games as underdogs. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Indiana v. Penn State +4 | 58-61 | Win | 100 | 6 h 59 m | Show | |
Indiana at Penn State 4:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Hoosiers- Virus issues have put both of these schools on the shelf for a while as Penn State hasn't played since December 11 in an 80-84 loss at Michigan State and Indiana last played on December 22 a 79-61 win over Northern Kentucky. The Hoosiers have yet to win a road game (0-2) and are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine road games overall. Add that the home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take PENN STATE! |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Michigan State v. Northwestern +2 | Top | 73-67 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 21 m | Show |
Michigan State at Northwestern 2:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Spartans- No. 10 Michigan State is on a six-game wining streak and has been playing short-handed because of virus protocols but will be a full strength for the first time in two weeks. Northwestern hasn't played since their 90-50 win on December 20 against Ill-Springfield and are 1-0 in Big Ten action. The Wildcats are 6-0 SU at home and the home team is 6-0 ATS in their series. Spartans don't like the Sunday routine going 1-5 ATS in their last six at the weeks end. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

01-02-22 | UCF +4.5 v. SMU | Top | 60-72 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 12 m | Show |
Central Florida at S.M.U. 2:00 ET Knights (+) over Mustangs- Central Florida has won five-in-a-row including an 85-71 Megabucks win for 'us' last time out over Michigan. The Knights showed great poise in over-coming a 12-point second half deficit out scoring the Wolverines 53-27 over the final 15 minutes in Orlando and on the road UCF is 7-2 ATS in their last nine. SMU has won seven straight with five straight ATS wins but are just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 home games. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |
|||||||
01-01-22 | Warriors v. Jazz -4.5 | Top | 123-116 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
Golden State at Utah 9:10 ET Jazz (-) over Warriors- I feel like I'm going to the dentist each time I play against Golden State because I'm in fear that I will get 'drilled' by the best shooter I have ever seen and that of course is Steph Curry. I mean really how can you play against him...I know, get his teammates riled about some obscure issue and Draymond Green a great player but a rabble rouser and has his mates concerned with the rescheduling of postponed games. Meanwhile, Utah has won six straight and aims to continue their fine play against the warriors going 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
01-01-22 | Clippers v. Nets -12 | 120-116 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (-) over Clippers- Despite having the best record in the Eastern Conference Brooklyn's play by most accounts have been inconsistent not that with all the traffic and drama surrounding their Diva's actions. But, their no questioning their talent just their motivation at times and their fragile egos. The Clippers are a mess as once again start players have taken to lay-back LA genre and now to New York City where they eat Californian's for lunch and the Nets will chow down on the Clippers here. Over the past two weeks, almost the entire Nets roster entered the protocol, forcing the team to scramble to fill roster spots and resulting in three postponements. One of the hardest-hit teams the Brooklyn Nets and will be at relatively full strength Saturday night. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
01-01-22 | Bulls v. Wizards +2 | 120-119 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
Chicago at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Bulls- Both of these clubs have been dealing with COVID issues as the Wizards welcome the return of Bradley Beal form protocol. Chicago despite their issues (Lonzo Ball is out) have won six straight games while Washington is off a win at Cleveland. The Bulls have been point spread wonders and are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games as favorites 8-1 ATS in their last nine trips to DC but, they hate Saturday's going 14-29 ATS while the Wiz are 5-1 ATS on Saturday's. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
01-01-22 | Providence v. DePaul +1.5 | 70-53 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
Providence at DePaul 3:00 ET Blue Demons (+) over Friars- At 12-1 and winners of their last seven games Providence is starting to receive attention especially after their back-to-back wins over Seton Hall and Connecticut. Traveling to Chicago to play DePaul who appears to be revived after years of doldrums the Friars have a 34-13 all-time series edge. The Blue Demons dropped both meetings last year including a 70-62 loss in the Big east tourney but the underdogs is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. With the history of this series this 'line' seems awful short and the Friars are 3-13 ATS as road favorites. Take DEPAUL! |
|||||||
12-31-21 | Hawks +1 v. Cavs | Top | 121-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
Atlanta at Cleveland 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Cavaliers- This 'price' sticks out like I just don't know what but it drew my attention. Here is Cleveland is the best point spread team in the NBA and the Hawks are racked with COVID have lost three straight and 10-of14 and this game is a virtual pick-em. It doesn't make sense to me that the Cavaliers should be such short favorites at home against a sick team that is struggling and is 0-5 ATS in their last five trips to the Erie based city of Rock and Roll. The Cavs lost Ricky Rubio for the season with an injured ACL and fall here. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
12-31-21 | Bulls v. Pacers +4.5 | 108-106 | Win | 100 | 5 h 16 m | Show | |
Chicago at Indiana 3:00 ET Pacers (+) over Bulls- It just seems to get better a s the season rolls along with Chicago as they have just won their fifth straight game shooting 62% against Atlanta Wednesday night. Indiana on the other side has dropped their last tow and 3-of-4 and will be without Malcolm Brogdon and three other in COVID protocol along with Bulls coach Billy Donovan. These two have split a pair of meetings this season but the Bulls are just 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings including 3-7 ATS in Indiana. Take the PACERS! |

Phoenix at Boston 1:00 ET Celtics (+) over Suns- The struggling Celtics have lost three in-a-row and eight of its last 11 games and are off one of the worst shooting nights in the season losing at home to Oklahoma City 115-97. Boston may be a bit short handed here as Jason Tatum is expecting to come of COVID protocol list and Marcus Smart will be ready. Phoenix has had their way ATS in Boston because for the most part previously the Suns were bad and the Celts good. Boston is 22-9-1 ATS in their last 32 games as home underdogs. Take BOSTON |
|||||||
12-30-21 | 76ers +5 v. Nets | Top | 110-102 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Brooklyn 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Nets- The Nets welcome the return of Kyrie 'Flat World' Irving and at this time any kind of warm body will do as Brooklyn has had three games postponed and have five players coming out of COVID protocol. Irving will be joining James Harden who returned last week to action. 76ers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games as road underdogs and the Nets are 1-7 ATS in their last eight home games and 0-7 ATS as home Favorites. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Michigan at Central Florida 7:00 ET Knights (+) over Wolverines- Michigan has been on an extended break because of COVID issues and hasn't played since December 18 but were not showing what was expected of them in the early going. Central Florida is 8-2 with coach Johnny Dawkins seeking their fifth straight win. Wolves are 10-3 ATS as road favorites but 1-4 ATS after a win while the Knights are 6-1 ATS following an ATS loss. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

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

N.C. State at Miami, Fl 9:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Hurricanes- NC State was off to a quick 6-1 start but have dropped four of five and their last three entering Miami. The Hurricanes started slow (4-3) but now reeled off five straight wins but have failed to cover in their last three. Struggling against the number (2-12 ATS last 14) the Wolfpack are 6-2 ATS in their last eight as road underdogs. Add that the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and that Miami is 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 games as favorites including 2-8-1 ATS as home favorites. Take N.C. STATE! |

Seton Hall at Providence 7:00 ET Pirates over Friars- What may prove to be a pair of better Big East teams in the conference opener for No. 13 Seton Hall and the return home for No. 21 Providence who is 8-0 SU at home. Seton Hall hasn't played since Dec. 12 as COVID issues postponed a non-conference game against Iona and a pair of Big East games against DePaul and St. John's. The Friars also with a pair of postponements have a win at No.20 Connecticut 57-53 last time out Dec. 18. Pirates are 10-4 ATS on the road against teams with winning records. Take SETON HALL! |

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

12-25-21 | Nets v. Lakers +1 | 122-115 | Loss | -107 | 29 h 48 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at L.A. Lakers 8:00 ET Lakers over Nets- As I stated before their blowout loss 138-110 to San Antonio the Lakers are a mess and to me it all revolves around the acquisition of Russell Westbrook who commits turnovers at an incredible rate. Los Angeles has lost four straight and ranked 27th on defense as Westbrook in attempts to make steals leaves the basket unguarded. Brooklyn is another banded up crew that is playing a number of people that shouldn't even be in the league. But, this night I expect LeBron James to be something special as he raises to the occasion. Take the LAKERS! |

12-25-21 | Warriors v. Suns -5.5 | Top | 116-107 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 49 m | Show |
Golden State at Phoenix 5:00 ET Suns(-) over Warriors- Arguably the two best teams in the league square off here as Golden State enters Phoenix as only a half game separates the two. The Warriors are 10-4 SU on the road but juts 7-6-1 ATS while the Suns are 15-2 SU at home and 9-8 ATS. This 'number' seems a bit strong and the Warriors look inviting with the points, but they are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games as underdogs. The surprise stat is not that Golden State is No. 4 on offense but No. 1 on defense allowing just 101 PPG. Suns 5-2 ATS in their last seven games at home. Take PHOENIX! |

Boston at Milwaukee 2:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- Neither of these clubs have found their way as of yet and both have been affected by injuries and COVID as they enter their Christmas Day encounter. With the return of Jalen Brown the Celtics are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five and seem to be meshing better than in the early season. Milwaukee has been inconsistent for the most part this season and is 2-6 ATS after a SU win and struggle against the Celtics as Boston is 13-6 ATS in their last 19 trips to Milwaukee. Take BOSTON! |

Atlanta at New York 12:00 ET Hawks (+) over Knicks- Kemba Walker get his second start and scores 44 points...Oh my, nut the Knicks still lost.

San Antonio at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Spurs (+) over Lakers- The Lakers are a mess, such a mess that even LeBron James can't make it right. They can point to the injuries and covid and whatever reason they want about why they can't put it together and the answer is so easy but no one will say it. In a word or name Russell Westbrook! He's a one man 'team' killer...Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Charlotte at Denver 9:00 ET Hornets (+) over Nuggets- This is the sixth and final game of a game road trip for the Hornets and they are 1-4 needing a win to return to .500. Denver (15-15) is having covid issues and injuries have depleted their firepower as their offense has dropped to 21st in the league whole Charlotte is No. 2 in scoring averaging 115 PPG as they are hitting 38% of their 3-point attempts. The Hornets are 6-1 ATS after a SU loss and 12-5 ATS as underdogs while the Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Washington at New York 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Knicks- Both these clubs are off snapping losing streaks as the nicks stopped at five straight losses with a win at MSG over the Pistons while Washington ended a four-game losing streak with a win over Utah on Saturday. New York is having all kinds of chemistry troubles and COVID has put seven players on its list the past week and Derrick Rose down with an ACL. Knicks swept all three game last season but it's a new year. Take WASHINGTON! |

Cleveland at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (-) over Cavaliers- These two have already split a pair of games both of which were played in Cleveland and the Celtics got the money in both encounters. That in itself is amazing as the Cavaliers are 24-7 ATS on the season and they have won 13 straight games against the 'number.' Yep that's right! So here is Boston who has lost 4-of-6 a strong favorite over the No. 2 defensive team in the league allowing just 101.1 PPG. But, the Cavs who are 10-1 ATS on the road in their last 11 away games are just 1-4 ATS in Boston while the Celtics are 3-1-1 ATS against teams with winning records. The Cavs last game was postponed on Sunday as they had seven players listed on the COVID protocol list and that is most likely by the Celts are favored the way they are. Take BOSTON! |

Arizona at Tennessee 7:00 ET Volunteers over Wildcats- No. 6 Arizona is embarking on their longest road trip in 14 years when they face No. 19 Tennessee in Knoxville tonight and their next three games are all against PAC-12 opponents. The Volunteers have had eight days of rest and are 6-0 SU at home and are 4-1 ATS in their last five games. As favorites the Vols are also 4-1 ATS while Arizona is 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games as underdogs. The Wildcats are No. 1 nationally on offense averaging 91 PPG while the Vols only allow 57.9 PPG. Take TENNESSEE! |

12-21-21 | Pacers -2.5 v. Heat | 96-125 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 56 m | Show | |
Indiana at Miami 7:30 ET Pacers (+) over Heat- Miami under coach Eric Spoelstra have always played tough but with so many player entering COVID protocol even the best coached teams struggle to maintain their high quality of play and the Heat are most predominate among those clubs. They will be without Butler, Adebayo, Herro, Martin, Morris and Oladipo who all missed Sunday's loss to lowly Detroit. When the regulars have been available in recent seasons the Pacers went 7-3 ATS in Miami as underdogs. The difference here is that the Pacers are favored where they are 0-6 ATS on the road. Still, the protocol is the clue. Take INDIANA! |

12-19-21 | Lakers +6.5 v. Bulls | 110-115 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Chicago 8:00 ET Lakers (+) over Bulls- Los Angeles may be with Anthony Davis for awhile but the Bulls will be without seven players and the Lakers five including coach Frank Vogel. One of the key components for Chicago and their success this season is the play of Zach LaVine and he will be sidelined for the Bulls. This is the first action for Chicago in eight days and they have dropped their last two. Chicago won the first meeting in Mid-November as the Lakers were without LeBron James. James is back and will be the difference here. Take LOS ANGELES! |

L.A.

Oklahoma City has dropped 13 of 16 including a 73-point loss to Memphis but are 11-5 ATS after a loss and 7-2 ATS against the Clippers at home. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

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

12-18-21 | Texas Tech +8.5 v. Gonzaga | 55-69 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 26 m | Show | |
Gonzaga vs Texas Tech 1:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Bulldogs- Gonzaga opened the season No. 1 but losses to No. 5 Duke and No. 16 Alabama has taken a bit of the shine off their season has they have dropped to No. 4. Texas Tech (8-1) is ranked No. 24 and has not received the credit is deserves as their defense which has always been tough is ranked No. 7 nationally while the Zags are No. 2 on offense. Gonzaga's defense is ranked at No. 100 and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as favorites while the Red Raiders are 4-0 ATS after a loss. Take TEXAS TECH! |

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

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

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

Philadelphia at Brooklyn 7:30 ET 76ers (+) over Nets- With the best record in the East the Nets will host their closest challenger Philadelphia who trails Brooklyn by six-games in the loss column. The Nets were down to eight healthy bodies last time out and just relied on Kevin Durant to carry the load and he responded like a true champion (although he has never won an NBA championship. Philadelphia enters Brooklyn losing 3-of-4 with losses to Memphis and Miami after defeating Golden State on Saturday. The Nets are just 1-5 ATS after a SU win and are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

12-15-21 | Wolves +4.5 v. Nuggets | 124-107 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Denver 9:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Nuggets- This series record between these two has to be considered when handicapping this matchup as the Wolves have lost 12 straight to Denver. The Nuggets have swept the season series that past three seasons against Minnesota but the Wolves are 21-6 ATS in the last 27 meetings in the Mile High City. D'Angelo Russell has been a huge plus for Minny as they are 0-5 without hime and 12-10 with his and he has returned after missing three games with an ankle sprain. Take MINNESOTA! |

Charlotte at San Antonio 8:30 ET Hornets (+) over Spurs- This is the Spurs fifth straight home game and they are off a 112-97 win over the Pelicans raising their home record to just 6-8. The Hornets have had four player in COVID protocol in their 120-96 loss at Dallas on Monday but will have Terry Rozier, Mason Plumlee and Jalen McDaniels will return tonight. Charlotte is 5-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs and are 4-0 ATS after a SU loss. Tae the HORNETS! |

12-15-21 | Pacers v. Bucks | Top | 99-114 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
Indiana at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee just finished a four-game road trip where they defeated a pair of games against sub-500 teams and lost to a pair of clubs with winning records. Indiana is off a 102-100 loss to Golden State but have won three of their last four at home and now go on the road where they are 3-10 SU. Doesn't it seem a bit off that the Bucks would be such a meager favorite at home against a team that has struggled away from home especially against a team that they defeated 118-100 at Indiana in their last meeting and is 0-6 ATS in their last six meetings in Milwaukee. Maybe because the Bucks are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as home favorites. This is BOGUS...take the PACERS! |

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

12-14-21 | Alabama v. Memphis +5.5 | Top | 78-92 | Win | 100 | 12 h 13 m | Show |
Alabama at Memphis 9:00 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- No. 6 Alabama has been good to 'us' defeating Gonzaga outright as an underdog and beating Houston but not the 'number' in a non-cover victory. Tonight is a first for the Crimson as they will be playing their first true road games of the season. Memphis in the meantime is 4-5 after having lost their last four including a 74-72 home loss to Murray State last Friday. I look for the Tigers to scratch and claw their way to a win here in this non-conference battle. Take MEMPHIS! |

12-14-21 | Warriors v. Knicks +3.5 | 105-96 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
Golden State at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Warriors- If he couldn't get it done at home with 16 3-pointers in one game what better setting but to make just two 3-pointers at Madison Square Garden. Stephen Curry the NBA's 3-point shooting GOAT will surely pass Ray Allen to move to the top of the list of long distance shots made. New York will be a bit strapped as Obi Toppin and RJ Barrett are in COVID protocols but Alec Burks returns. Knicks just 7-14 SU since their 5-1 start and are 0-4 ATS in their last four games at home but rise for this event. Take NEW YORK! |

Monmouth-NJ at Yale 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Hawks- Here we again with another Monmouth encounter after posting a Power Play winner with them as a 1-point favorite over Pittsburgh. So, once against the streaking Hawks (10 straight covers) are 1-point favorites but this time over Yale in New Haven. At 6-6 SU and 4-7 ATS the Bulldogs are off a loss to Iona and they are 15-7 ATS after a loss. But they have showed that they can 'play', play that is for an Ivy school but hey, who is Monmouth. Take YALE! |

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

12-12-21 | Pelicans +2.5 v. Spurs | 97-112 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
New Orleans at San Antonio 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Spurs- New Orleans has established that they are better than the Pistons by defeating Detroit 109-93 on Friday. But, all the news surrounding the Pelicans is not good. All-Everything Zion Williamson who has not played yet this season has had a set back and is not out indefinitely. So, now they realize that it is them against the world without their superstar. San Antonio is just a shell of champions past and most likely will be left out of the postseason playoffs. Spurs played last night at Charlotte losing outright as a 5-point favorite and are just 1-4-1 ATS in the second of back-to-back games. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

12-12-21 | Monmouth -115 v. Pittsburgh | 56-52 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Monmouth-NJ at Pittsburgh 7:00 ET Hawks over Panthers- Now, let's take a close look at this matchup. Once a Big Eat power and now an ACC also run Pittsburgh must be a an ebb with talent as they are not only 3-6 on the year but they are an underdog at home to a former NAIA member that is a local commuter school. Monmouth 7-2 lost to St. John's last time out 88-83 but are an incredible 9-0 ATS on the year. I can't get past this number and will see if the Panthers are that bad or the Hawks can actually play. Take MONMOUTH! |

12-12-21 | Villanova +4.5 v. Baylor | Top | 36-57 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 28 m | Show |
Villanova at Baylor 3:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Bears- A pair of Top-10 ranked cagers meet at Baylor where the No. 4 ranked Bears will host No. 6 Villanova in what should be the best college basketball game of the day. The defending National Champions are undefeated (8-0) and are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven this season. This Wildcats will be playing their third road game of the season and have yet to 'cover' and are 0-2 ATS losing at UCLA after destroying Michigan State 91-51. The Bears have had the best of it to date but have yet to play a team with this much big game experience. Take VILLANOVA! |

Milwaukee at New York 12:00 ET Knicks (+) over Bucks- After a quick start start to the season New York has taken a step back while the Champion Bucks who started slow have picked up the pace. The Knicks has lost five of six and have benched the guy the signed to help a struggling offense. Milwaukee is off a win at Houston Friday after their second loss to the Heat on Wednesday. These two have split a pair of games already this season with the nicks holding MVP Antetokounmpo below his average in both games. Take NEW YORK! |

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

Golden State at Philadelphia 8:30 ET 76ers (+) over Warriors- And 'the beat goes on' as the Warriors' Stephen Curry assaults the NBA 3-point scoring records. The 'greatest' shooter in NBA history (my personal opinion) Curry is drawing the attention of not only the public and media but of other players in the league and some aren't so happy about it...like his opponents! Philliy is 3-1 since the return of Joel Embiid since his bout with COVID and he is ready to go. Warriors are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 meetings in the 'Liberty Bell City' and they fall here. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

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

12-11-21 | Kentucky v. Notre Dame +5 | 62-66 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Notre Dame 5:15 ET Fighting Irish (+) over Wildcats- After dropping their opening encounter against Duke the Wildcats have won seven in-a-row and now play struggling Notre Dame who has lost three straight. Kentucky coach John Calipari keeps reloading year after year and I must give him credit for getting these players with NBA aspirations to play as a unit. The Fighting Irish were 3-1 before going to Maui and have lost consecutive games to Texas A&M, Illinois and Boston College. The Cats are just 3-5 ATS on the season and ND is 0-6 ATS in 'lined' games. Kentucky is 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight road games and ND is 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Avenging a 64-63 loss from last season the Irish are fighting for a win. Take NOTRE DAME |

Arkansas vs Oklahoma 1:30 ET Sooners over Razorbacks- Undefeated (9-0) and ranked No. 10 Arkansas comes to Tulsa (neutral site) where the Sooners will have plenty of support in what should be one of the better games for Saturday. Although undefeated the Razorbacks are shooting just 28.5% on 3-pointers and in the last six games it's 20.6 percent. Oklahoma is coming off an OT loss to Butler and are 4-1 ATS after a loss, but they are one of the best against the 3-pointers holding opponents to 27.5%. Take OKLAHOMA! |

Boston at Phoenix 10:00 ET Celtics (+) over Suns- Phoenix responded well after having their 18-game won streak stop by the Warriors with a win Monday over the lowly Spurs. Boston dropped their third of four against the Clippers 114-111 Wednesday night getting the money as they dropped to 7-9 SU on the road. The Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their last eight after a straight-up loss and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven as road dogs. Suns are 3-7 ATS 9in their last 10 as favorites! Take BOSTON! |

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

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

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

Purdue at Rutgers Scarlet Knights (+) over Boilermakers- Purdue is good and we know that they are good and they have been awarded the No. 1 ranking in America and now have to live up to it. The Boilermakers have 7-4 Zach Edey but they don't have Ron Harper Jr. and Rutgers does. So, what does that mean...not a whole lot but I thought I'd just like to add it. The Scarlet Knights are 4-4 and haven't really played a tough early schedule But there is something about Purdue that gets the Knight's working as they have defeated the Boilermakers at home in each of the past two seasons. Take RUTGERS! |

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

TCU is 6-1 SU but have struggled to get the 'money' as they are 1-4-2 ATS and are 5-0 SU at home. Utah is 0-1 in true road games losing at USC but are 2-0 at neutral sites and are 5-2 ATS after an ATS loss. TCU has little to brag about as they are 1-6 ATS against winning teams and 9-24-2 ATS in their last 35 games as favorites including 0-4 ATS as neutral site favorites and are 0-2-2 ATS after a SU win. Take UTAH! |

Chicago at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers over Bulls- Like the Knicks were last year it looks like the Cavaliers are a team that is just going to get the best of the number night in and night out as they are 18-7 72% ATS on the season and it doesn't seem that the end is in sight. At the same time the charging Bulls have won four straight and are 17-8 both SU and ATS. Cleveland has covered eight straight although they have lost their last two out to Utah and Milwaukee. The Bulls have had the best o the Cavaliers for years but things are moving in another direction. Take CLEVELAND! |

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

Lakers 10:00 ET Celtics (+) over Lakers- Both these clubs can only dream of what it meant for these two franchises to go head-to-head, the shine is off as both teams are floundering around the .500 mark after 24 games. LeBron James was back and played well Friday in the Lakers 119-115 loss to the Clippers as Boston was winning for the third time in four tries and have won 6-of-9. LA is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games as home favorites and the Celtics are 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Take BOSTON! |

12-07-21 | Knicks v. Spurs +2.5 | 121-109 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
New York at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Knicks- New York has a completely different look this year as last season's formula for success has been scraped for a more offensive approach. Looking to improve their scoring capabilities the Knicks brought in Kemba Walker and it changed the dynamics of what was the No. 1 defensive team to a team ranked 20th in points allowed. Although the Spurs record isn't so hot they are still 13-9 ATS and are 5-1 ATS against New York in the past six meetings. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
