Houston at Boston 8:30 ET Rockets (+) over Celtics- Houston owns a four game winning streak in this series and posted a 115-104 win at Boston lsat season and a 116-105 win in at home two weeks ago. Boston has won 14 of 17 and has already seen this 'small ball' play from the Rockets, but will it help. The oddsmaker doesn't believe so, look at this line. The Celtics return home after winning five straight with the last four coming on the road going 5-0 ATS. Houston is 8-2 ATS on the road against team with winning records and are 6-2 ATS as road underdogs. Take the ROCKETS! |

Indiana at Cleveland 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Pacers- The Pacers have made some player changes and it seems like it's for the better as they are 4-1 in their last five while Cleveland who also made some player changes are 4-2 after dropping tier last decision to New Orleans. This is the third meetings of the season and teach team has held serve on their las court. Although Indiana has dominated the series going 12-4 ATS in their last 16 meetings in Cleveland the Cavaliers are 5-12 ATS in their last six games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last six as underdogs. Take CLEVELAND! |

02-29-20 | Nets +7 v. Heat | 113-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Miami 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Heat- This is the second of back-to-back games for both these clubs as the Heat took down Dallas at home while Brooklyn was getting pounded at Atlanta. Miami has fallen back of late dropping from the third seed to sixth by losing seven of the last 10 games. The Nets with their two major players sidelined for the rest of the season have dropped four of five after entering the All-Star break winning seven of 10. But the Nets are 4-1 ATS in the last four meetings and 3-1-1 ATS in their last five visits to Miami. The Heat are just 7-18-1 ATAS in their last 26 games following a straight-up win. Take BROOKLYN! |

02-28-20 | Thunder +11 v. Bucks | 86-133 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Bucks- To of the NBA's best go at it tonight in Milwaukee where the Bucks who have the leagues best record will hosts Oklahoma City the team with the best ATS record. Milwaukee seeks their fifth straight win after defeating the NBA Champion Raptors in Toronto and OKC has won 14 of their last 17 after overcoming a 19-point third quarter deficit against the Kings on Thursday. The Thunder are an amazing 21-6 ATS on the road and are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and 7-2 ATS in their last nine trips in Milwaukee. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

02-25-20 | Celtics v. Blazers +7.5 | Top | 118-106 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
Boston at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Celtics- Sometimes as they say 'less is more' as the supporting cast is performing at a higher level with All-Star Damian Lillard sidelined with a groin injury. Even Carmelo Anthony is beginning to look like a real NBA player as he scored a season's best 32 points last time out and CJ McCollum put up a season-high 41 points. On the other side of the coin the Celtics young phenom Jayson Tatum matched his career high of 41 points against the Lakers Sunday picking up the slack left with Kemba Walker's absence. Boston had won 12 of 14 before falling to LA and are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall. The Celtics are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 meetings in Portland but, the Blazers who are playing better of late are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games. Take the TRAILBLAZERS! |

02-25-20 | Thunder v. Bulls +7.5 | 124-122 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Thunder- 'Amazing' is just about the only thing that I can say about Oklahoma City and their ATS 22-5 road record as they are the most surprising team in the NBA this season. Chicago on the other hand continues to be a bottom feeder that is more like prey as they fall deeper losing 8-of-10. Despite a 35-22 SU record the thunder are seeded sixth and I attribute most of the credit to Billy Donovan who held this team together while losing super starts Harden, Durant and Westbrook...think about that! I could continue superlatives about the Thunder and I can't even make a case for the Bulls as their trends are abhorrent. Still, they did win last time out snapping an eight game losing streak and OKC has taken 'all' the action. Take CHICAGO! |

02-25-20 | Bucks v. Raptors +1.5 | 108-97 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Bucks- This is the NBA matchup of the day as the league best meet for just the second time this season as the Milwaukee Bucks invade Toronto with an early victory at home over the Raptors 115-105 back on November 2. The Raptors of course eliminated the Bucks in the playoffs last May after Milwaukee took the first pair at home and then Toronto won Game 3 in OT and the series 4-2. The Bucks are better this year and Toronto is of course without Leonard is a notch below. It is difficult the make a case against the Bucks as they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games but just 1-5 ATS against winning teams better than 60%. Okay, here's the rub as the Raptors are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games and 4-1 ATS as underdogs. Take TORONTO! |

02-24-20 | Heat v. Cavs +6.5 | 119-125 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
Miami at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Heat- Miami has established themselves as one of the more dominate teams when play at home winning 23 of 26 but don't even break even on the road losing 17 of 30. Cleveland seems to have more bounce in their step since acquiring Andre Drummond to side up with Tristian Thompson. The Cavaliers has lost eight straight times to the Heat including a 124-105 trouncing on Saturday and will seek revenge with Kevin Love returning to the lineup and Miami will be playing without their biggest impact talent Jimmy Butler. The heat are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 games as road favorites and 1-5 ATS in their last six road games overall. Take CLEVELAND! |

02-23-20 | Spurs +5 v. Thunder | 103-131 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Oklahoma City 7:00 ET Spurs (+) over Thunder- The the longest road trip each season in the NBA the Spurs finish their annual eight-game Rodeo Road trip in Oklahoma City today. San Antonio started by dropping their first five-game on this extended trip but have recovered with a pair of consecutive wins. The Thunder have won their last two and 11 of their last 14 and play 13 of their next 20 on the road. Although San Antonio has struggled against the thunder in OKC they are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall. Rake SAN ANTONIO! |

02-23-20 | Wizards v. Bulls +2.5 | 117-126 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
Washington at Chicago 7:00 ET Bulls (+) over Wizards- A pair of also-rans that appear headed in opposite directions as Washington had won five of seven prior to their home loss to the Cavaliers while Chicago is in the mists of a season high eight-game losing streak. The Bulls have plenty of fight in them and sometimes it is misdirected as Zach LaVine and coach Jim Boylen going at each other before the end of the Bulls lost to the Suns Friday night. The Wizards are nothing special as they are 4-13 ATS as favorites on the road. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
02-23-20 | Pacers +6 v. Raptors | Top | 81-127 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 20 m | Show |
Indiana at Toronto 6:00 ET Pacers (+) over Raptors- Toronto who many though would take a step down after losing Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers but have played like true Champions without him. The Raptors lost their final game before the All-Star break ending a franchise record 15-game winning streak but rebounded (noticed how I fit that in) with a 118-101 win over Phoenix. Meanwhile, Indiana ended a six game losing streak with a win over Milwaukee and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. As good as the Raptors have been they are just 2-8 ATS in games following a win by 10-points or more. Take INDIANA! |

02-22-20 | Rockets v. Jazz -123 | 120-110 | Loss | -123 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Houston at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz over Rockets- So, Houston has gone to 'small' ball with all five starters under 6-6 and have won their last two and 10 of 14 as they figure this is a better way to pay 'team' basketball. Utah was upset at home last night as San Antonio got the best of them dropping the Jazz for just the sixth time at home in 26 tries. Houston has won seven of 10 meetings and are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games as underdogs. Utah has struggled of late and needed the All-Star break as they are just 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall and just 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine as favorites. But, this game we can take on the 'Money line' an collect. Take the JAZZ! |

02-22-20 | 76ers +9 v. Bucks | 98-119 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Milwaukee 8:30 ET 76ers (+) over Bucks- This certainly is the NBA Match-up of the day as league's best to date host one of their top challengers. Milwaukee who is on pace for 70 wins is 14-games ahead of second place Indiana in the Central and are 25-3 SU at home while Philadelphia is a weak 9-19 on the road and are 0-7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs. The Bucks are 6-0 ATS as favorites in their last six games overall but those 'numbers' may have little to say about tonight's outcome. Having been call-out of late Joel Embiid boasted that he was the best player in the world after scoring 39 points with 19 rebounds against Brooklyn last time out on Thursday. These two clubs met Christmas Day with the 76ers winning 121-109 as Embiid had 31 points and 11 rebounds. Going against the Bucks the Sixers will have to deal with the 'other' best player in the league in Giannis Antetokounmpo so this could be interesting. I expect this game to go down to the final buzzer. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
02-22-20 | Suns v. Bulls +2.5 | 112-104 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Suns- The Bulls have lost seven in-a-row including their first game after the break at home losing to Charlotte 103-93. The Suns have come a long way this season and a few injuries have slowed down their progress but their young sharp shooter Devin Booker and imposing center Deandre Ayton. Chicago who has lost 17 of 23 but leading scorer Zack LaVine is up for the challenge. Phoenix is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games overall and 0-5 ATS in their last five road games. Take CHICAGO! |

San Antonio at Utah 9:00 ET Spurs (+) over Jazz- San Antonio hasn't played in 10 days and are on their annual Rodeo Road Trip as they play their seventh of eight straight games away from home. The Spurs have made the NBA Playoffs 22 straight years and are currently the 10th seed in the Western Conference have their worst record 23-31 at the break in 25 years. The Spurs who had no reps at the All-Star break will be well rested and ready to go as they are 7-2 ATS with 3 or more days rest. Utah is 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games and 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
02-21-20 | Cavs +6 v. Wizards | 113-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
Cleveland and Washington 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Wizards- Well, the players on the Eastern Conferences' worst team got their wish as head coach John Beilein vacated his position as this bunch of professionals refused to accept the basic fundamentals of the game. J.B. Bickerstaff takes over the helm for the Cavaliers and now has the NBA's leading rebounder in Andre Drummond to pair with Tristan Thompson and they posted a win I their first game together before the break. The Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Washington and are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games. Rake CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
02-21-20 | Mavs v. Magic +4.5 | Top | 122-106 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
Dallas at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Mavericks- The Dallas Mavericks is 33-22 at the break and are tied with Oklahoma City for the 7thseed in the Western Conference. The key to the Mavs resurgence has been the play of Luca Doncic who miss seven games before the break with Dallas losing five but rebounded with a 20-point win over the Kings when he returned to the lineup. Orlando who has struggled offensively posted a pair of wins before the break scoring 135 and 116 points after having lost 8-of-10. The Mavericks have had the best of the Magic winning 10 of the last 13 meetings in Orlando. Ugly trends surround the Magic as they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games and 2-9 ATS overall in their last 11 as host. Still, the Mavs fall short here. Take ORLANDO! |

Memphis at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis has moved into the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference by winning eight of their last 10 games outright. These two clubs met on January 2 and were both at 13-22 at that time, but, since then the Grizzlies have gone 15-4 and the Kings 8-11. Sacramento won that matchup 128-123 after overcoming a 20-point deficit. Jabari Parker is expected to make his team debut for the Kings tonight after being acquired from Atlanta. Although the Kings are 5-12-11 ATS in their last 18 home gams they are 4-1 ATS against the Grizzlies at home and they are 19-7 ATS when playing with three or more days rest. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Brooklyn at Philadelphia 8:00 ET Nets (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia is the epitome of a front runner as they are 25-2 at home where they are bullies and just 9-19 SU on the road where they play like dogs. Brooklyn who will most like play the rest of the season with Kyrie Irving who has already missed 33 of 53 games and Brooklyn has a better winning percentage without the 'World is Flat' former Superstar. Despite the absence of Irving and playing the season without Kevin Durant the Nets sit in seventh place in the playoff seeding and have won seven of their last 10 and are 5-0 ATS in their last five although they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as road underdogs. Meanwhile the inconsistent 76ers are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall. Take BROOKLYN! |

The Nuggets overcame a 23-point deficit defeating San Antonio on Monday while L.A. was cruising in a 125-100 win over Phoenix. Stats are great but they can be misleading as the Lakers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites and just 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Denver and 8-18 ATS in the last 26 meetings overall. The Nuggets are 4-0 ATS at home in their last four and get the money tonight. Take DENVER! |

Toronto defeated the Nets 119-118 Saturday at home and must now take to the road and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games in Brooklyn. The Raptors are just 7-15 ATS after scoring 125 points or more in their previous game while the Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games but, are 1-18 SU in the last 19 meetings overall.

The Bucks who were without Giannis Antetokounmpo in Monday's win over Sacramento are now 5-0 both SU and ATS when the 'Freak' sits out. The Pacers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games at home and have lost four straight to the Bucks including a pair of blowout losses this season. After all that data the line-maker has installed the Bucks as a meager favorite and I expect Indiana who is 1-5 since the return of Victor Oladipo to rise tonight. Take INDIANA! |

02-11-20 | Blazers +3 v. Pelicans | Top | 117-138 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 29 m | Show |
Portland at New Orleans 8:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Pelicans- New Orleans and Portland are coming alive before the All-Star break as they vie for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Trailblazers after a horrid start to the season are 2.5 games behind eighth place Memphis and the Pelicans follow them 2.5 games back. The Pelicans are off of a win at Indiana and did it without their two power forwards as both Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson sat out. Portland lost in an earlier visit to New Orleans 115-104 in November has won six of their last eight games straight-up and 7-1 ATS get the money here. Although the Pelicans are 5-2 ATS as home favorites they are just 8-17 ATS when playing a team with a losing record. Take PORTLAND! |

One positive note for Chicago is that they are 2-0 against Washington this season and have won five of than past six meetings and are 5-1 ATS in their last six on the road against teams with losing records and are 6-0 ATS in their last six trips to Washington. Add that the Wizards are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games when favored. Take CHICAGO! |

L.A. Clippers at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Clippers- The 76ers have to be one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA with their ability to just crush opponents when playing at home and one of the most disappointing when playing on the road (9-19). The Clippers who are favored in the West have split their past six games alternating wins and losses but have won 10 of their last 13 overall. It has been over a year since these two met and both teams have a key changes since then. LA claims that Kawhi Leonard has an ailing knee and just picked up Marcus Morris to pick up the slack...it won't be enough. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Golden State has added former No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins who spent five plus years in Minnesota and broke in with 24 points against the Lakers in a 125-120 loss on Saturday. Miami added Andre Iguodala and Jae Crowder who have yet to mesh in with the Heat as they have lost their last three and six of their last eight. Although Miami is 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games following a straight-up loss but just 2-7 ATS in their last nine as road favorites. Take the WARRIORS! |

Utah at Houston 7:00 ET Jazz (+) over Rockets- Small ball, yeah how's that working out for ya...not so much. Look the problem with the Houston Rockets is that any team that doesn't play defense won't have the heart it takes to win in pressure situations. These two have about the same record with Houston having played and lost one more game. The Rockets had their 4-game win streak ended in Phoenix as the Suns routed Houston 127-91 (Megabucks winner) while Utah ended a six-game losing streak with a win at Portland. Despite their bad run the Jazz are 12-3-1 ATS following a straight-up win. Take UTAH! |

The Knicks have already posted a 143-120 win over the Hawks as well as a 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Atlanta. The Hawks are just 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games when favored and 6-16 ATS following an ATS win. Take NEW YORK! |

Washington is coming off of a thrilling 119-118 win over Dallas with Bradley Beal scoring 29 points and newcomer Shabazz Napier adding 14 in his debut. The Wizards will also have Jerome Robinson available Sunday. The Grizzlies posted a 128-11 home win over the Wizards back in mid December and now it's turn-about. The Wiz are 5-1 ATS as a home dog in their last six and Memphis is 1-4 ATS in D.C. Take WASHINGTON! |

San Antonio at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Spurs- Each season the Spurs get displaced as the rodeo comes to San Antonio and this season they will be on the road over two weeks having to play eight straight away games. This year their trip has gotten off to an auspicious start as they have dropped the first three including a 127-117 loss at Portland Thursday night. Prior to this trip the Spurs have been a winner on the road going 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 and 8-3-1 ATS as road favorites in their last 12 games. But, there are other factors to consider as they are 0-5 ATS in their last five meetings against the Kings. Sacramento is 5-2 ATS in their last seven and 5-1 ATS in the second of back-to backs. Take the KINGS! |

Denver at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Nuggets- Denver is feeling pretty good about themselves as they have won 12 of 17 but they are especially proud of their last win at Utah when they had just seven players available. The Nuggets should be very confident having defeated the Suns four straight and 14 of the past 16 meetings. Phoenix who is out of the playoff picture in the West once again broke a four-game losing streak against Houston last night scoring their biggest margin of victory this season winning 127-91. Denver is not only 5-11 ATS after a straight-up win they are just 2-5 ATS as road favorites while the Suns love playing on Saturday's when they are 6-1-1 ATS. Take PHOENIX! |

Dallas at Charlotte 7:05 ET Hornets (+) over Mavericks- Dallas has had the best of it against the 'number' this season despite injuries that they have been able to overcome. But, they are now 2-3 since losing All-Star guard Luka Doncic including last night's 119-119 loss at Washington. Charlotte who has been a major disappointment this season has lost four in-a-row and 12 of 13 since their overtime win at Dallas 123-120 back on January 4. Although the Mavericks are 12-3-1 iATS n their last 16 as road favorites they are playing without their key figure as there is no one to fill Doncic's shoes. Take the HORNETS! |

Miami at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Heat- Miami is looking to make a move in the East as they were very active before the trade deadline acquiring Andre Iguodala, Jae Crowder and Solomon Hill. They parted with Dion Waiters, James Johnson and Justin Winslow. The Heat will find out tonight how difficult it is to change a roster in mid-stream so to speak. The Kings had won four straight in the series before Miami's 118-113 overtime home win three weeks. There is a conflict in trends as Miami is 2-6 ATS as road favorites while the Kings are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 home games. But, with the changes in actually who will BE on the court as Miami will be without Jimmy Butler and will fall short here. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Houston at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Rockets- Both teams are streaking but, in opposite directions. Houston won their fourth straight last night taking down the Lakers while the Suns have lost their last four and five of six. This line as low as it is draws some concerns as the Suns have lost 11 straight to the Rockets and will be playing without five players including Frank Kaminsky. Houston may have won their last four are just 3-7 ATS on the road and 1-5 ATS as road favorites while the Suns are 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games. Although the Rockets are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 trips to Phoenix they are just 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings. Taker PHOENIX! |

Dallas at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Mavericks- Dallas is beginning to come back to earth as injuries are starting to take their toll. Luka Doncic has missed the last three games with the Mavericks winning the first two over Atlanta and Indiana and dropping their last encounter against Memphis. Kristaps Porzingis has returned to action and posted 39 points in their loss but now is questionable after suffering a broken nose. Dallas is 17-7 SU on the road and 16-5-2 ATS and are 13-3-1 ATS as road favorites. Washington who is 11-12 at home are 6-2 ATS in their last eight as hosts and 4-1 ATS as a home underdog. Mavs hurting and Wizards playing better at home. Take WASHINGTON! |

Houston at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- Okay, James Harden's shooting slump is a thing of the past as he has lit up the scoreboard for 35 points or more in Houston's last three games. Houston is 2-7 ATS in their last nine games on the road but are 12-5 ATS when posted as road underdogs and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Los Angeles. The Lakers have won the past two meetings but are just 2-7 ATS when playing a team with a winning percentage over 60%. Take the ROCKETS! |

San Antonio at Portland 10:00 ET Spurs (+) over Trailblazers- Both of these clubs have been perennial playoff teams that are on the outside looking in as Portland (23-28) sits in the ninth spot and San Antonio (22-28) in the tenth spot trailing Memphis who is 26-25. The Spurs are on their annual Rodeo Road Trip as they are displaced for a stretch of eight games and have already dropped their first two in LA to both the Lakers and Clippers. The Blazers have been inconsistent for the most part and are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games including 1-4-1 ATS as a home favorite. San Antonio's play has improved after a horrid start and are 11-3-1 ATS after a straight-up loss and 6-2 in their last eight as underdogs. Take the SPURS! |

02-06-20 | Pelicans v. Bulls +5.5 | 125-119 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Pelicans- Well, Zion Williamson has made his debut and has been quite impressive shooting better than 50% in his first six game but in his last time out against Milwaukee he was held to 5-of-19 from the floor. New Orleans enters the Windy City with losses to the Bucks and Rockets while Chicago has dropped their last three all on the road and are 2-5 ATS in their last six overall. Like I had pointed out previously the Pelicans were playing better basketball before Zion's debut and are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall and 7-2-1 ATS on the road in their last 10 but, those ATS wins all came as underdogs. Williamson is listed as questionable with a sprained toe and that drops the Pelicans a notch. The Bulls have been atrocious as a home dog going 6-20 ATS in their last 26 in that role but are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. Take CHICAGO! |

Memphis at Dallas 8:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Mavericks- Dallas has won their last two without start Luka Doncic with Kristaps Porzingis getting back into the flow scoring 38 points and grabbing 12 rebounds against Indiana on Monday. For Memphis there has been a bonding of sorts as players have stepped-up and commented on the Andre Oguodala situation where he refuses to play for the Grizzlies. The Mavericks are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings but just 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 home games and just 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 following a win. Memphis meanwhile is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win. Take the GRIZZLIES! |

Indiana at Toronto 7:30 ET Pacers (+) over Raptors- The year long wait for the return of All-Star Victor Oladipo has been a major disappointment as they are 1-2 defeating just the Bulls in overtime before dropping their last two with Oladipo shooting a miserable 8-of-39 from the floor including 3-of-21 from beyond the arc. Toronto who has had their injured return are on an 11-game win streak and are off of a 129-102 rout of Chicago. History has not been kind to the Pacers in Toronto as they are just 12-27 ATS as visitors in this series including 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. But as of late Indiana is 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games while the Raptors are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 home games against winning teams. Still, I expect Oladipo to return to form tonight...take INDIANA! |

Golden State at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Warriors- I've said for years, 'break-up the Warriors' and see now what happens...they are playing like champions. Golden State has won their last two on the road and have had their way against the Nets winning the last eight meetings and the last four in Brooklyn. But, the overall number are not that impressive as the Warriors are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Brooklyn. Now, the Nets are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games overall but they are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as home favorites and are 5-2 ATS against teams with losing records. The BROOKLYN! |

Milwaukee at New Orleans 7:35 ET Pelicans (+) over Bucks- The Pelicans started to make a positive move in early January and have only improved their with the debut of Zion Williamson added to the line-up. Milwaukee of course brings the most dynamic player in the NBA today with Giannis Antetokounmpo who had 30 points, 19 rebounds and nine assists Saturday as he led the Bucks to their 10 win in their last 11 games. The quickly improving Pelicans are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games and are 6-3 ATS in their last eight games as home dogs and 8-2 ATS in their last eight home games overall. Look for the Pels who had won three straight before Houston did them in last time out to rebound here both on boards and scoreboard. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Philadelphia at Miami 7:35 ET 76ers (+) over Heat- The NBA's two clubs with the best home records will clash in Miami where the Heat are 21-3 SU while the 76ers are 22-2 SU when hosting but take on a different hue when on the road. Philadelphia is just 9-17 SU on the road and are coming off of a beating at Boston 116-95 where Joel Embiid was just 1-for-11 shooting from the floor. Miami meanwhile was pounding the Magic at Orlando and return home where they are 15-6-1 ATS as favorites in their last 22 games while the Sixers are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs and are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. But, with this line so low and Philly is 3-1-1 ATS in their last five trips to Miami and I expect them to rebound here. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

The Knicks are just 4-12 SU in their last 16 games and are most likely lottery bound like the Cavaliers who are on a 1-10 slide and yet came up favored here. Take CLEVELAND! |

Golden State at Washington 7:05 ET Warriors (+) over Wizards- 'Break-up' the Warriors,' we heard it for five years and now that they have won two straight and can put together their first 3-game winning streak of the season with a win tonight. With the exception of Curry and Thompson Golden State fielded a complete roster of healthy players for the first time this season. With the Warriors gaining confidence they are 4-1 ATS after a SU win while the Wizards are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games most of which they were receiving points.

L.A. Lakers at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Lakers- The world's loss of Kobe Bryant has affected people all over the globe and none more than the team he spent 20-years playing for the L.A. Lakers. The Lakers didn't handle their first game out after Brant's death very well as they fell to the Trailblazers last night. Tonight, they will be playing an NBA West doormat in Sacramento who is 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games as home underdogs. LA is 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Sacramento but just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as road favorites and 0-4 ATS on the road against a team with a losing record. Take the KINGS! |

Philadelphia at Boston 8:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- Now this one has me taken back a bit as Boston has opened a meager favorite here at home and the 'price' has dwindled since. What causes my attention to peak here is the home and away records of both teams. Philadelphia as most know are a dominating 22-2 at home while posting a poor 9-16 record on the road. Boston is 19-5 SU at home and are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games against teams with winning records. The 76ers are 0-5-1 ATS as road underdogs and are not only 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings and 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Boston. This line makes no sense to me...take PHILADELPHIA! |

The Heat who are 21-3 at home are just 11-12 on the road and just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as road favorites. The Magic are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings against Miami and are the take here. It's ORLANDO! |

Phoenix who is 0-6 ATS in their last six home games are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight-up win but they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as an underdog. Suns who have shown great strides this season played their first 30 of 32 games without former No. 1 draft pick Deandre Ayton who was 13-of-15 shooting with nine rebounds in their 133-104 rout at Dallas.

Dallas who is 16-6 SU and 14-5-2 ATS on the road are seen as an up and coming squad while the Rockets appear to have lost their edge. Houston who is being hampered by James Harden's prolonged shooting slump are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven as favorites and just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings against the Mavericks. Dallas is 12-4-2 ATS as a road underdog but are just 1-5-1 ATS when playing against winning teams. In need of a bounce back performance...take HOUSTON! |

The Jazz had won 19 of 21 before the double losses and Denver had won 8-of-11. It appears to me that this line is a bit short as considering Nuggets are 6-0-1 after a loss and the Jazz is 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings in Denver. But, Utah is n15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 and 6-1 ATS following a ATS loss and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. Take UTAH! |

Washington has lost six of eight as they have allowed 152 and 151 points in each of their last two losses. It is hard enough for teams to win when so many are playing with load management but other don't need days off when they don't even make an effort in the games that they do play.

The Thunder have been point spread darlings on the road going 20-7 ATS in their last 27 as visitors while Sacramento is 2-10-1 ATS at home and are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four as a home underdog.

The Jazz are playing well and had won 19 of 21 before getting ambushed by an injured Rockets team at home 126-117 last night and are still 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 overall.

To start with the Lakers are 2-5 ATS as road favorites but 9-3 ATS in their last 12 in the City of Brotherly Love but just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings. The 76ers are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games but are just 1-5-1 ATS as underdogs.

Dallas at Utah 5:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Jazz- Utah is making a move in the West and have climbed to the second spot behind the Lakers having won three straight and 18 of 20 and have won their last three by an average of 28.3 points. Dallas meanwhile has won four of five and are off of an easy win at Portland and are 21-6-2 in 29 road games. As a road underdog the Mavericks come to play and are 12-4-1 in that role the last 17 times playing as underdogs. Conflict arises as the Jazz are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games as home favorites and 17-5 ATS in their last 22 overall. But, Utah is just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with winning records. Take DALLAS! |

Phoenix at San Antonio 8:30 ET Suns (+) over Spurs- It's been a long uphill battle for the Spurs as they claw their way back to .500 having won their last three including an outright win at New Orleans Wednesday night.

Houston at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Rockets- Although 'we' had Houston last time out an easy win over Denver I just love to 'fade' these Rockets. They had lost four straight and five of six with their lone win prior to Denver was a 139-109 thrashing of the Timberwolves. Karl-Anthony Towns has returned after missing 15 games with a knee injury and posted a season-high 40 points against the Bulls as Minnesota lost their seventh straight game going 1-6 ATS. Although Houston is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings they are 0-5 ATS on the road and 5-16 ATS on the road against teams with losing records. The T'wolves have been just as bad going 7-18-1 ATS at home but with the return of Towns they can measure up here. Take the TIMBERWOLVES! |

Boston at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic over Celtics- After a mini 3-game losing streak (their second in 10 games) Boston has posted two impressive wins over the Lakers 139-107 and the Grizzlies where they tied a season high assists with 32 after having 31 assists versus Los Angeles. But, last time out they lost Jayson Tatum to a groin injury and he joins Jaylen Brown, Enes Kanter and Robert Williams on the sidelines and Kemba Walker is questionable with a sore knee. Orlando who is 13-9 SU at home dropped their last game as hosts after a six-game road trip has been installed a favorite here and they are 8-3 ATS as favorites in their last 11 games. The Celtics are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games after n ATS win and just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings with the Magic. Take ORLANDO! |

Dallas at Portland 10:30 ET Trailblazers (-) over Mavericks- Portland who has had a sub-par season to date had Damian Lillard come alive setting franchise records for scoring with 61-points and 11 3-pointers against Golden State Monday in the Blazers 129-124 overtime win Monday. The news for Dallas isn't as good as they have lost power forward Dwight Powell for the rest of the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Dallas who was defeated by the Clippers last time out are 11-4-1 ATS after a SU loss but 0-3 in their last three road games but 6-1 ATS in their last seven visits to Portland. The Trailblazers are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven home games and 'we' have taken advantage of that and now it's time to turn. Take PORTLAND! |

Brooklyn on the other hand has lost four straight and 11 of 13 since Christmas and have 'covered' just twice and have lost and failed to 'cover' eight times as an underdog. Los Angeles is 13-2 SU but just 6-9 ATS in their last 15 road games and are 4-10-1 ATS as a favorite and 1-5 ATS as a road favorite in their last six. The Nets have been terrible against the number but with the return of Caris LeVert and Kyrie Irving the Nets who are 11-11 at Barclays Center will come up big here. Take BROOKLYN! |

Washington at Cleveland 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Cavaliers- Cleveland a team that has lost five straight and 10- of 12 comes up a small favorite against another NBA bottom feeder in the Wizards. Washington who lost in overtime against Miami last night is just 5-18 SU on the road but are a surprising 16-5 ATS in the second of Back-to-back games. The Cavaliers don't handle the favorites role very well as they are 19-39-1 ATS as home favorites in their last 59 games and they are 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 following a ATS loss and just 1-4 ATS ij their last five home games.

It head -to head action the Pelicans hold a 21-6 ATS advantage but we should note that the Spurs were favored in the majority of those games. Now, roles are reversed. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Indiana at Phoenix 9:05 ET Suns over Pacers- Indiana had won five straight and things were going merrily along and then they ran into the Utah Jazz who beat them so bad it may take more than one game to recover over their worst loss of the season and now they feel exposed. They may have lost their mojo...Phoenix is already within one victory of last season's win total and have seem to have caught a groove. An oddity about the Pacers being 6-0 in the last six meetings all of which they are favored...not tonight Take PHOENIX! |

Denver at Houston 8:05 ET Rockets (-) over Nuggets- So, is the line-maker going to keep raising the 'price' on the Rockets no matter how bad they are playing until it becomes impossible to bet them...I wish I knew! Right now for Houston to be this kind of favorite against a team the quality of Denver is either that they are ready to rout the Nuggets or I am being 'sucker' into this play. I believe that the rout is on...take HOUSTON! |

Memphis at Boston 7:35 ET Grizzlies (+) over Celtics- The Celtics responded as 'our' Megabucks winner over the Lakers on Monday and after losing three straight and six of eight and probably will be mentally exhausted and relaxing with the 'pressure' of being a Megabucks release now off. Memphis had won seven in-a-row before getting blindsided by the Pelicans at home last time out but have still won 10 of 14. Boston has won seven straight in the series but has been inconsistent as favorites going 2-6 ATS in their last eight overall. The Grizzlies on the other hand are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs and 6-2 ATS in their last eight overall. Take MEMPHIS! |

LA has won eight of 10 with the loss last time as the Celtics handed them their worst lost in the series history meanwhile New York beat Cleveland and the come out of losing eight of nine with one of those losses in LA to the Lakers 117-87.

L.A.

Dallas has won four straight games after dropping two straight at home against the Nuggets and Lakers and will welcome the return of Kristaps Porzingis who has missed 10 games because of a knee injury. The Mavs are just 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and are 0-4 ATS at home against teams with winning records. The Clippers are just 2-8 ATS after a straight-up win and just 1-4 ATS at Dallas. LA won the first matchup 114-99 back in November when Doncic missed all eight of hie 3-point shots. Take the CLIPPERS! |

L.A. Lakers at Boston 7:35 ET Celtics (+) over Lakers- The banged-up Celtics are in a three-game losing streak and are on a six out of eight slide after bowing to Phoenix Saturday. Los Angeles on the other hand has managed to go 4-1 without their injured start Anthony Davis as LeBron James continues to be the most dominating player in the NBA. The pressure here will increase on Boston as Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown are sidelined and they are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games and just 4-9 ATS in the last 13 meetings. But, here the table turn as the Celtics are 12-3 ATS as a home underdog. Take BOSTON! |

L.A. Lakers at Houston 8:35 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- The Lakers nine-game win streak was ended by Orlando Wednesday and they finished the first half of their season with a 33-8 record the best in the west. That loss by LA was the first this season against a team with a losing record which means that they are now 22-1 when facing sub-par teams. Anthony Davis is questionable and that can only help the struggling Rockets who have lost their last two and three of four games. Los Angeles doesn't feed well after a weak performance as they are 2-5-1 after an ATYS loss and they have dropped 17 of the past 21 meetings to the Rockets and they are 6-13 ATS at Houston. Note, the Rockets are 11-2 ATS when playing on two days rest. Take HOUSTON! |

Philadelphia is a stellar 22-2 SU at home but on the road is a different tale where they have lost six straight (0-5-1 ATS) and are just 7-14 on the season.

Oklahoma City has won 12 of their last 16 games but were pounded early by Toronto 130-121 their last timeout and are still 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Miami who is 1-5-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with the Heat breaking a six-game series losing streak with a 116-107 win at OKC last season.

The lowly Bulls are 7-13 on the road SU and 15-27 on the season and have struggled of late going 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games. Oddly enough Philadelphia is the same 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games but have taken five of the last six in the series. Without Joel Embiid the Sixers are vulnerable and play close here.

Washington at Toronto 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Raptors- Toronto the defending NBA Champions got off to a great start to the season even without Kawhi Leonard gone to LA and they were pounded with a series of injuries. The Raptors lost three starters for almost a month as Marc Gasol, Pascal Siakam and Norman Powell and as they all were sidelined and their record fell off according. Washington has had injury issues of their own but they are healing as Thomas Bryant and Bradley Beal have returned to the line-up and Beal has scored 20-points or more in 11 straight games against the raptors.

The Pelicans have won 3-of-4 with that loss at home to Utah 10 days ago. The ATS stats are outrageous for the Jazz as they are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games and 7-1 ATS on the road in their last eight games and they are 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings.

I'm a bit surprised that the Suns are favored here. The Knicks who are 7-12 since Mike Miller took over on December 6 but they are currently in their worst stretch since he took over losing six of their past seven.
