Orlando at Miami 6:00 ET Heat (-) over Magic- In a back-to-back series the Heat are looking to recover from their 112-109 loss to the Heat in Orlando on Friday. Miami is 27-13 at home and need to win out to get a home court during the first round of the playoffs. The Magic have won five of their last seven but they are going nowhere but home when the season ends Wednesday. Miami is 5th in NBA scoring defense and with Whiteside guarding the bucket they have Wade to score. Take MIAMI! |

Utah at Denver 5:05 ET Jazz (-) over Nuggets- The Utah Jazz are one-game in front of Houston for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference while the Nuggets are getting ready to play golf. This is Denver's final home game of the season as they close the year out in Portland on Wednesday. Denver is off a huge win over San Antonio and they were favored to win and did, this afternoon they are a underdog to a weaker Jazz team and that just doesn't make any sense. I believe the Nuggets have packed it in and Utah win easily. Take the JAZZ! |

Phoenix at New Orleans 7:00 ET Suns over Pelicans- These last couple of week in NBA action have created a number of 'strange' looking lines with so many team resting starters and others just laying down getting ready to play golf. A prime example if the lowly Phoenix Suns winners of just 21 of 79 games favored on the road against a 30 win team. New Orleans has been a major disappointment due to injuries and a coaching change they make in the off-season. The Pelicans are 2-1 against the Suns this season and have won for of the past six meetings and yet are an underdog at home here. Take PHOENIX! |

Houston at Dallas 9:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Rockets- This encounter may go a long way to deciding who get into the NBA Playoffs and who doesn't as there is one-game that separates these two for the final playoff spot. Houston sits one game behind Dallas with five games to go. A win here by the Mavericks will just about guarantee them a spot. The Rockets have won the last two meetings and it's the Mavericks turn tonight. Take DALLAS! |

New Orleans at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (-) over Pelicans- I guess it had to happen sooner or later and with the lack of talent spread so thin and injuries coming into play the 76ers are actually favored in a game. The team with the 'guaranteed' worst record in NBA once again is favored. New Orleans who is without Anthony Davis has won their last two their longest win streak in six weeks. Philadelphia has had injury issues of their own as Nerlans Noel has missed the last six contests and forward Richaun Holmes the last four. Look for the 76ers to pull out a rare victory here.

L.A. Clippers at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) Clippers- This has been one of the most lopsided series in all of NBA rivalries as the Clippers have won 14 of the last 15 meetings including the last seven in Minnesota. Los Angeles who I believe to be the 'Big Imposters' have won their last three and should be looking to tank right about now. With the return of Blake Griffin just a day away the Clippers might get caught thinking 'what next' when he returns. The Timberwolves are young are beginning to mature quickly. The Wolves are 3-1-1 ATS the last five against L.A. and are the side tonight. Take MINNESOTA! |

They are 10-games better on the season then Atlanta and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings with the Hawks. Atlanta who had the best record in the East last season will most likely settle for the No. 3 seed and have now won four straight with double-revenge while the Raptors are off a home loss to Oklahoma City and have lost three of their last four.

So why would they be a double-digit dog other then they revert back to their inconsistent pattern of play.

Both clubs played last night L.A. Dropping their third straight against Golden State while the Blazers were beating Dallas. The Clippers are 0-6 ATS in their last five games against a team with a winning record. Take TRAILBLAZERS! |

Cleveland at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Cavaliers- The Cavaliers have to keep their foot on the pedal as the Raptors are keeping the pressure on Cleveland to play more minutes among their starters then they wish. Getting Lebron and Irving some rest is just not possible at this time. The Cavs have won both meetings this season including a 91-78 win in Brooklyn in mid-January. This is their fifth game in seven days and a number of their starters may get some rest tonight. Take BROOKLYN! |

Chicago at New York 8:00 ET Knicks (+) over Bulls- These two met last night in Chicago where the Bulls were finishing a four-game home stand where the hosts had won the previous three and nine in-a-row against the Knicks. Most of the time when clubs go back-to-back we have a tendency to take the first game loser to win the next night but, tonight New York gets it done again. The Bulls are just 12-21 on the road and they fall again tonight. Take the KNICKS! |

Sacramento at Minnesota 8:00 ET Kings (+) over Timberwolves- I've on the Timberwolves band wagon for a while now and 'we' now notice that the Vegas odds-makers see their worth as well. Although they have guaranteed themselves another losing season their play has had drastic improvement. Sacramento has moved up the food chain themselves as they have posted five more wins then Minnesota and have 27 entering this contest. The T'wolves have struggled at home and hurt the 'man' covering just 11 of 34 games ATS. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Orlando at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons (-) over Magic- the Detroit Pistons have responded at the right time winners of their last three as they battle the Chicago Bulls for the final playoff spot in the East. Orlando who at this point is an 'also-ran' in this race and have dropped their last four. It doesn't look as if it will get any better for the Magic as they might as well have 'disappeared' in their last four meetings losing all four against Detroit by an average of 18.3 points. The beat goes on...take the PISTONS! |

The Hawks are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games and are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six visits to Washington. Before that loss to the Wizards on Monday night the Hawks had won 16 of 18 at home against Washington and will get payback tonight. Take ATLANTA! |

Charlotte at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Hornets- The Hornets are riding high after their unbelievable come-back win over San Antonio last night. Scoring only seven points in the first quarter and trailing by 23 before they made their move and won 91-88. Brooklyn who has had a dismal season has lost six of their last seven but will have rookie Rondae Hollis-Jeffereson returning from his fractured right ankle. The Nets have dropped their last two hosting Charlotte but had won the previous six. Hornets in a letdown spot as Nets take advantage. Take BROOKLYN! |

Denver at Cleveland 7:05 ET Cavaliers (-) over Nuggets- Am I floating above the clouds when I think that this is a very strong 'price' as the Cavaliers just clinched a playoff spot and but are looking to hold back the Raptors for the top seed in the East. Cleveland has dropped two of their last four and are off a pasting in Miami where they lost 122-101. Look for Cleveland to bounce back with a solid effort as they dominate with NBA bottom feeder who is just 13-22 on the road. Take the CAVALIERS! |

Oklahoma City at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Thunder- The Pacers who just lost for the seventh time in eight tries when going into overtime with their Thursday night loss to Toronto have had their way against the Thunder winning the last two meetings. Listen to this, I found this hard to believe but Indiana has to win one more home game to extend their winning home record to 27 straight season the most in the NBA. It's just another good spot for the Pacers. Take INDIANA! |

Sacramento at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons (-) over Kings- The Pistons have dropped their last two games and 3-of-4 and are now at .500 (34-34) for the season and fighting for the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference. Detroit beings a nine-game homestand (seems long doesn't) that begins against four teams with losing record. They Pistons who have surrendered 242 points in their last two games will be up against the worst defense in the NBA as the Kings give up 109.5 points per contest while losing 10 of their last 12. Injuries have hurt Sacramento and the Pistons are in need. Take DETROIT! |

Minnesota at Memphis 8:00 ET Timberwolves (-) over Grizzlies- How's this for an 'odd' looking line for Minnesota (21-46) to be a road favorite in Memphis against a 39-28 most likely playoff bound club. There are tow huge factors that contribute to the 'Vegas' way of thinking and that is the Timberwolves are growing up fast as their young matures but the biggest factor is that nobody is playing for the Grizzlies. They have six players either out of injured and it is just too much to overcome at this level. Take MINNESOTA! |

The Thunder come storming into Boston routing Portland on Monday 128-94 while the Celtics have dropped back-to-back games for the first time in two months and are looking to correct their current path. Although OKC has won the last two and five of their last seven in Boston tonight's not their turn. Take the CELTICS! |

The Wizards came out of the All-Star break winning seven of nine and tonight will have the return of Bradley Beal who has played in just 41 games this season.

New Orleans at Memphis 8:00 ET Pelicans over Grizzlies- There has to be something very wrong for the 24-39 Pelicans to be favored or even a pick-em at Memphis makes my head turn. The Grizzlies are getting pounded by the doctor as they have lost another 'key' player with guard Mario Chalmers is out along with point guard Mike Conley who will miss his third straight game with Marc Gasol out for the rest of the year and Zach Randolph questionable. The Pelicans are off a loss to the Hornets and rebound here against the back-ups. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

The Hornets are 22-9 at home and play 10 of their next 12 games as hosts. New Orleans has been a major disappointment this season after making the playoffs last season and having one of the NBA's brightest stars in Anthony Davis who is the only player to respond to their 'new' coach Alvin Gentry this season.

Sacramento at New Orleans 8:00 ET Kings +) over Pelicans- It is understood that Anthony Davis is the key to New Orleans being successful but without help from his teammates the Pelicans just don't win. So, now with shooting guard Eric Gordon out with a broken finger they have lost four straight with him sidelined. Sacramento has injuries to their guard as well as Rajon Rondo have slowed his game as the Kings have dropped five of their past six games. The Pelicans have won both meetings this season and yet they are in a pick-em situation at home and that seems a bit odd. Take the KINGS! |

They are23-9 on the road (better then the Pacers home record 18-11) last losing here in April of 2007. The Pacers who have lost four of their last six are led by Paul George who missed the first two meetings. With George back the Pacers will keep it close. Take INDIANA! |

The Raptors are just 2.5 games behind the Cavaliers for the No. 1 seed in the East. The Rockets meanwhile are just 5-10 ATS in the second of back-to-back games and are off a loss last night against the Bulls. After laying down (as expected) last night I can see the 8th seed (currently) Rockets coming to play tonight. Take HOUSTON! |

The Mavericks have already defeated the Nuggets twice already this season at home but failed to 'cover' in either contest. This time the Nuggets get the prize. Take DENVER! |

Milwaukee meanwhile has improved but are still 10-games under .500 and the playoffs appear out of reach but have an emerging star in Giannis Anteokounmpo who had 27 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds against the Timberwolves on Friday. Combining with Jabari Parker and Khris Middleton give the Bucks the fire-power they need to keep this one close. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Houston at Chicago 8:30 ET Bulls (+) over Rockets- Both these teams expected to be contenders in their respective conferences but both have dropped to the point where their future in the playoffs is in question. Chicago has got to get back to defense as they look to break their current four-game losing streak after loss against Miami when they allowed the Heat to shot 67.5% in a 129-11 loss. Houston is as up and down as they come and after a win last time out I expect them to rest on their laurels tonight. Take CHICAGO! |

The Pelicans have won four of the last six meetings but the Jazz are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six meetings in New Orleans.

Two of the youngest rosters in the NBA will face-off in Milwaukee where the Bucks will host Minnesota. The Timberwolves have improved with the play of their last two Number 1 picks Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns along with four regulars at 25 years old or younger. The Bucks have Jabari Parker who was picked No.2 behind Wiggins in the 2014 draft and have taken the last three in the series but come up short here. Take MINNESOTA! |

Utah at Memphis 8:00 ET Jazz (+) over Grizzlies- For as far back as any of us can remember the Utah Jazz have held one of the strongest home court advantages in the NBA and in contrast they are one of the worst teams on the road. The Jazz are currently in the four-game losing streak and are just 9-20 straight-up on the road including defeats in their last five road games. Memphis will most likely be without guard Tony Allen as the Jazz look to make it 3-0 against the Grizzlies this season. This 'number' is too inviting for the home team. I will play against it. Take UTAH! |

In the East the number 5 thru 10 teams are separated by just 2.5 games and every game is becoming crucial for their playoff aspirations.

The Timberwolves like most young teams are very inconsistent playing well one night and then being terrible the next. Minnesota's rookie center Karl-Anthony Towns has recorded a double-double in 15 of the last 18 games and it's the Wolves turn to play well. The home team has taken each of the last six in the series.

Utah meanwhile is in a bit of a struggle as they have lost their last three and six of their last eight. The Raptors Kyle Lowry was 'rested' in that loss and expects to return. Utah snapped a four-game losing streak in the series with a 93-89 (-3.5) home win in mid-November. Raptors get double whammy. Take UTAH! |

The last time these two met the Knicks pulled off a 112-110 overtime win in Portland in mid-December. Damien Lillard has been the impetus for the Blazers run as he averaged 29.8 points in February.

The Hornets fell behind early and were never able to overcome Atlanta who built an early 19-point lead on Sunday. When I see Charlotte a double-digit favorite it's hard to believe that the Suns have won seven of then past eight in this series. Well, that trend turns here. Take the HORNETS! |

Memphis at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Grizzlies- The Memphis Grizzlies are off one of their more embarrassing losses as the Phoenix Suns took them down Saturday 111-106. The Griz can try and use the absence of Marc Gasol as an excuse but all clubs have to deal with players missing due to injuries. Memphis made some personnel changes and it has effected the chemistry of this once formidable club. With the addition of Lance Stephenson, P.J. Harrison and 'Birdman' Anderson they now are a 'ball of confusion.' The Nuggets have dropped two close encounters against the Grizzlies and get their first win of the series tonight. Take DENVER! |

Houston appeared in the conference final last season and now are just a half-game ahead of the Utah Jazz for the final playoff spot in the West.

02-29-16 | Jazz +6 v. Celtics | 95-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
Utah at Boston 7:30 ET Jazz (+) over Celtics- These two met recently in Utah with the Jazz posting an 18-point 111-93 win over the Celtics and now streaking Boston looks to make it 10 straight wins at home. Utah are off a loss to lowly Brooklyn last time out and have lost three of their last four. Now that the Jazz have both Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors back on the court at the same time (back from injuries) Utah has a formidable front that has to be dealt with. Once again, it's UTAH! |

02-28-16 | Heat v. Knicks -110 | 98-81 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
Miami at New York 7:30 ET Knicks over Heat- Really now? The Knicks are favored here over the Knicks in New York and that seems a bit unusual as they are 10-games (25-35) under .500 and have won just three of their past 15 contests. The problems seems to be the large number of injuries to the Heat squad with Chris Bosh, Beno Udrih and Josh Richardson all out but they did sign veteran Josh Johnson who will be in uniform for the Heat tonight. New York had three players of their own miss practice (Anthony, Afflalo and Porzingis but all are expected to play Sunday. Look for the Knicks to even the season series here. Take NEW YORK! |

Charlotte at Atlanta 3:30 ET Hornets (+) over Hawks- The Hornets have won four of five on their current road trip and six of their past seven and is now a part of the playoff picture in the eighth and final spot. Charlotte has moved to within one-game of Atlanta who had the best overall record in the East last season. The last time these two met the Hornets ran Atlanta out of the building as they crushed 107- 84 which ended a three-game losing streak the second week of January. Take CHARLOTTE! |

02-28-16 | Cavs v. Wizards +5.5 | 99-113 | Win | 100 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Washington 1:00 ET Wizards (+) over Cavaliers- The Washington Wizards are climbing their way back into the playoff picture as they have won four of six since the All-Star break including their last two while Cleveland is a loss at Toronto where they had a nine-point lead with just over four minutes to go and LeBron blames 'mental mistakes.' The last time the Cavaliers played in D.C. They won 121-115 as 7.5 point favorites and now they are only 5-point favorites. A sign from Las Vegas that the Wizards are playing better and can possibly win here. Take WASHINGTON! |

02-27-16 | Nets v. Jazz -11 | 98-96 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz (-) over Nets- The struggling Utah Jazz losers of four of their last six have been blessed by the NBA schedule God's here as they get the host Brooklyn Nets Saturday night. The Jazz have the comfort of playing at the Vivint Smart Home Arena where they are 14-4 straight-up including their last seven in-a-row. The Jazz have won and covered the last three meetings including a 108-86 win in Brooklyn. This should be easy. Take UTAH! |

02-27-16 | Pistons +2 v. Bucks | 102-91 | Win | 100 | 12 h 40 m | Show | |
Detroit at Milwaukee 8:30 ET Pistons (+) over Bucks- Detroit had lost seven in-a-row and were 1-8 ATS in their past nine before winning their last two including a win over Cleveland and a 20-point win over Philadelphia. Milwaukee has shown they have talent but for the large part but it is very young and still inconsistent as their 10-game under .500 record will attest. The Bucks are 7-1 ATS against the Pistons their last eight times as hosts but that was a different Detroit squad. Take DETROIT! |

02-27-16 | Warriors v. Thunder +3.5 | Top | 121-118 | Win | 100 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
Golden State at Oklahoma City 8:35 ET Thunder (+) over Warriors- This match-up came on my radar the moment Cleveland blew out the Thunder 115-92 last Sunday in Oklahoma City. Golden State enters here with four straight wins following a thrashing in Portland 137-105 as they finish a seven-game road trip in a place where they struggle. The Warriors are 1-6 straight their last seven trips to Oklahoma City including a 127-115 loss the last time they were here. Take the THUNDER! |

02-26-16 | Nuggets +5 v. Mavs | Top | 116-122 | Loss | -103 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
Denver at Dallas 8:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Mavericks- As the playing creep up on us the veteran Dallas Mavericks are slowing down by back-peddling in the standings. They have lost six of their last eight games and are now 2-games under .500 and out of the playoff picture. The one positive they have entering this contest is that Dallas has won four of the past five meetings including a 92-81 home win back in November. This time around the Nuggets get it done. Take DENVER! |

02-26-16 | Hornets +3.5 v. Pacers | Top | 96-95 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
Charlotte at Indiana 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Pacers- The Charlotte Hornets are playing well having won five straight before their disappointment in Cleveland (114-103) on Wednesday. The Hornets rebound well after a loss as they are 8-2 ATS following a loss of 10 points or more and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. Meanwhile, Indiana is just 1-5-1 ATS after a straight-up win and 1-4-1 ATS in their last six home games. The Hornets seem to get it done when playing the Pacers as they are 5-1-1 ATS in the past seven meetings. Stay with the flow this time. Take CHARLOTTE! |

02-25-16 | Rockets +4.5 v. Blazers | 119-105 | Win | 100 | 14 h 16 m | Show | |
Houston at Portland 10:30 ET Rockets (+) over Trailblazers- Very quietly the Trailblazers have made a playoff move in the West as they have won six straight and 15 of their last 18. Disappointing Houston meanwhile is off an overtime loss at Utah and has lost seven of their last 10 games including a pair of losses Portland by a combined 30 points. The Blazers have won four of the last five meetings but will be surprised the the Rockets effort here. Take HOUSTON! |

02-25-16 | Thunder v. Pelicans +5.5 | Top | 119-123 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show |
Oklahoma City at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Thunder- In a contest that will feature three true NBA Super-Stars win the Pelicans Anthony Davis and of course Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. The Thunder are off a mush needed win over Dallas after dropping two straight including a beating at the hands of the Cavaliers on Sunday. New Orleans who started the year 1-7 at home have brought that record up to 15-12 when playing the host while the Thunder are a poor 8-17 ATS on the road. Look for Davis to bounce-back and lead his club to a possible outright win here. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
