02-10-22 | Heat v. Pelicans +5.5 | 112-97 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
Miami at New Orleans 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Heat- Miami finishes a six-game road trip in New Orleans where the Pelicans are starting a six-game home stand. Both clubs have are on winning streaks as the Heat have won their last three contests while the Pels have put together four straight victories. The Heat are off an easy time against the Wizards shooting 57% for the games including 56.3% from 3-point land and will find it a bit more difficult to get clean shots here. Longing to return home the Heat will be thinking of getting back to South Beach. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

02-10-22 | Nets +3 v. Wizards | 112-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Washington 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Wizards- When the season started began there isn't a person with any NBA knowledge would ever expect the Wizards to be favored over the Nets, but with Brooklyn scrambling to field healthy bodies they have lost nine in-a-row. So, Kyrie (Flat World) Irving has returned to action be it only in road games has yet to pick up the slack of the ailing Kevin Durant (2-10 without him) as the Nets have lost nine straight. Washington has lost six straight and are without their star Bradley Beal so advantage goes to the Nets. Take BROOKLYN! |

02-09-22 | Warriors v. Jazz -1.5 | 85-111 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
Golden State at Utah 10:00 ET Jazz (+) over Warriors- What a difference Donovan Mitchell makes for this Jazz club as they have won three straight since his return to action after going 4-12 in the month of January. Golden State have won the first two meetings winning at home 94-92 two weeks ago and on New Year's Day in Salt Lake City 123-116. The Warriors can be considered a scoring machine but without Draymond Green they are just 3-9-2 ATS after scoring 100 or more points in their previous game. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
02-09-22 | Raptors v. Thunder +9.5 | 117-98 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 13 m | Show | |
Toronto at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Raptors- This contest pits a pair of ATS trends that go head-to-head as Toronto is 15-9 ATS on the road while the Thunder are 15-8-3 at home. Although Oklahoma City has lost 14 of their last 18 games they have been competitive when it comes to playing the games. The Raptors are on a six game winning streak and are 6-0 ATS winning as small underdogs and favorites. This time the 'line' catches up with them. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

02-09-22 | Bulls v. Hornets +3 | 121-109 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
Chicago at Charlotte 7:30 ET Hornets (+) over Bulls- A pair of clubs that have hit a lull before the All-Star break as Charlotte has lost five straight and the Bulls have dropped 3-of-4. A week ago the Hornets had the top-ranked offense in the NBA and Chicago had the best record in the Eastern Conference, but recent play by both clubs has seen them fall. The Bulls at just 2-7 in their last nine road games and The Hornets have shot under 33% from three point range in their last six games. That changes tonight...take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
02-08-22 | Bucks v. Lakers +4 | Top | 131-116 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 48 m | Show |
Milwaukee at L.A. Lakers 10:00 ET Lakers (+) over Bucks- LeBron is back and the difference between when he is in the lineup and not is drastic. With or without Anthony Davis the key for Los Angeles is James as he posted 29 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists last time out and has scored at least 25 points in 19 consecutive games. I expect Russell Westbrook to improve on his 1-for-10 shooting and for the Lakers to bring their one down to the final buzzer. LA has picked up the pace as they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games. Take the LAKERS! |
|||||||
02-08-22 | Knicks +8.5 v. Nuggets | 115-132 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
New York at Denver 9:00 ET Knicks (+) over Nuggets- The Knicks thought that they had something going after last years success as defense was the key to their success. But, during the off season they tried to bring in more offense and they sacrificed they defense and lost their chemistry. After blowing double-digit leads in the fourth quarter of their past two games New York is now at a season's worst six-game under .500. The word is the Knicks are trying to deal Julius Randle who has been in conflict with staff and the MSG fans. The best thing that I can say about the Knicks is they are 12-3 ATS in the second of back-to-back games.Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
02-08-22 | Clippers +8 v. Grizzlies | 109-135 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at Memphis 8:00 ET Clippers (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis has won five of six and are 18-4 since Christmas and are going for a season sweep of the Clippers who they have defeated twice already this season. Los Angeles is 10-13 since December 26 when Paul George went out because of an elbow injury but are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games as underdogs. The Grizzlies who have been on a point spread tear are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games and 26-10 ATS in their last 36 overall. Still, tonight it is the Clippers. Take LOS ANGELES! |
|||||||
02-07-22 | Knicks +8 v. Jazz | 104-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
New York at Utah 9:00 ET Knicks (+) over Jazz- Utah who led the NBA in wins last season with 52 struggled in January winning just 4-of-16 games as Donovan Mitchell was out for eight games. New York lost in OT to the Lakers on Saturday after blowing a 20-point lead. The Knicks are 12-4 ATS in their nlast 16 trips to Utah and 25-7 ATS in the last 32 meetings. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
02-07-22 | Suns v. Bulls +8.5 | 127-124 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Suns- Phoenix has won 12 of their last 13 and they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games while the Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games. Chicago is 19-7 SU and 17-9 ATS at home and should have Zach LaVine available after back spasms kept him out of the past two games. Chicago is 30-22-1 ATS on the season and should be ready for the invasion of the leagues winning team. Take the BULLS! |
|||||||
02-07-22 | Raptors v. Hornets +2 | Top | 116-101 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 19 m | Show |
Toronto at Charlotte 7:10 ET Hornets (+) over Raptors- The Hornets have lost their last four games three of which were at home as they losing streak as they have dropped from the No. 1 spot in offense. Toronto is on a five-game winning streak going 5-0 ATS. Part of the Hornets problem is the lack of firepower as Gordon Hayward has been out with an ankle injury and when he return to action he was 0-for-7 from the field. The Raptors beat the Hornets 125-113 at home in the first meetings of the season two weeks ago. Look for the Hornets to even the series with a home win. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
02-06-22 | Hawks +2.5 v. Mavs | Top | 94-103 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
Atlanta at Dallas 6:00 ET Hawks (+) over Mavericks- Atlanta is repeating their 'act' like last season when they went on a tear the second half of the season after the holidays and made a run into the playoffs. The Hawks have won 8-of-10 and 12 of their last 16 and took down the Mavericks 113-87 hosting the season opener. Dallas is also heating up and has won 14 of their last 19 games. Considering how Dallas is playing and hosting the Hawks where the home team has won 7-of-8 this line is way short. The Hawks are 13-3 ATS in the past 16 meetings and one again get the cash. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
02-05-22 | Bucks v. Blazers +10.5 | 137-108 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Bucks- The Trailblazers have dropped their last four and six of their last seven and their last three games at home. Milwaukee has won five of the last seven games and have defeated Portland five straight games and nine of the past 10. But, the Bucks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as favorites and oddly enough the Blazers are 8-1-1 ATS on Saturdays. Take PORTLAND! |
|||||||
02-05-22 | Knicks +2 v. Lakers | Top | 115-122 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 0 m | Show |
New York at L.A. Lakers 8:30 ET Knicks (+) over Lakers- Both of these clubs are streaking, did I say streaking I meant both these teams are leaking. New York has lost four of five and seven of nine while the 'Fakers' have dropped four of their last five and nine of their last 13 games overall. Anthony Davis is back but without LeBron James the Lakers are 1-4 in his latest absence. The Knicks are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a loss and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven visits to play the Lakers in LA and the Lakers are 8-22 ATS after a point spread win and they 'covered' last time out against the Clippers. Take LAKERS! |

02-05-22 | Heat v. Hornets +3.5 | 104-86 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Miami at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Heat- Miami is one of the tough teams to dispose of no matter where the game is being played as they are 16-13 ATS on the road and 18-6 at home. The Heat have had to deal with number injuries and COVID issues and still manage to stay competitive. Charlotte has the No. 1 offense in the NBA scoring 114.1 ppg while they will face the No. 5 defense as the Heat only allow 1-5 ppg. Miami is just 2-5 ATS after a win of 10-points or more while the Hornets are 8-1 ATS as home underdogs and 11-4 ATS after a SU loss. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
02-04-22 | Rockets +4 v. Spurs | 106-131 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Houston at San Antonio 8:30 ET Rockets (+) over Spurs- Houston just ended an 11-game home losing streak with a win over Cleveland on Wednesday while the Spurs have lost their last three. San Antonio will be playing their third game in four days and the second of back-to-back encounters. In the first meeting of the season in Houston the Spurs routed the Rockets 134-104 shooting 57.4% from the floor. But, yesterday against the Heat San Antonio was without three starters and they are they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six home games while the Rockets are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
02-04-22 | Cavs +4.5 v. Hornets | 102-101 | Win | 101 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Charlotte 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Hornets- Although the Cavaliers are without Collin Sexton and now Darius Garland and have lost two of their last three games they were 11-4 SU in January. The Hornets have lost back-to-back games as their high powered No. 1 offense scores well but they will be up against the NBA's No. 1 defense allowing just 102.5 ppg. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
02-04-22 | Bulls v. Pacers +3 | Top | 122-115 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
Chicago at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Bulls- The 'line' on this encounter seems a bit shallow as the Eastern Conference leaders are very short favorite against a bottom feeder like the Pacers. This may well be because the Bulls Zach LaVine who was questionable last night but played 42 minutes and most likely will be rested in the second of back-to-back games. Indiana has lost seven straight and 12 of their last 13 contests. Chicago is 0-3-1 ATS in their last four road games and are 5-12 in their last 17 games at Indiana. Take the PACERS! |
|||||||
02-03-22 | Lakers +3.5 v. Clippers | 110-111 | Win | 100 | 12 h 40 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at L.A. Clippers 10:00 ET Lakers (+) over Clippers- Hey, 'how 'bout dat'...the Lakers actually won and 'covered' a game ending a three game slide with Anthony Davis scoring 30 points and 15 rebounds. Because of the frivolous Emmy Awards the Clippers have played eight straight on the road going 4-4 SU. LeBron James has missed the last five games and the Clippers have been without Paul George since December. The Lakers are 4-0 ATS with no rest and the Clippers are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games as favorites. Take the LAKERS! |
|||||||
02-03-22 | Suns v. Hawks +4.5 | Top | 115-124 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Phoenix at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Suns- They are at it again...the Suns who already own the NBA's longest winning streak this season have now won 11 straight going 8-3 ATS. Atlanta has been playing well and just had their own seven-game win streak stopped by Toronto (Megabucks winner) Monday. Phoenix has had the best of it between these two as they are 17-8-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings. The Hawks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games and get the money here. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
02-03-22 | Heat v. Spurs +4.5 | 112-95 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
Miami at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Heat- It has happened just twice now this season as the Heat have lost three in-a-row while San Antonio has dropped their last two. Miami players complained of fatigue after losing late at Toronto having played four games in five days and this will be their fifth game on seven days. Trend wise it is all Miami but that should be expected as they are the better team. But, tonight the Spurs come to play as they are 4-1 ATS after a loss. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
02-02-22 | Cavs v. Rockets +5.5 | 104-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (+) over Cavaliers- Cleveland who is having their best season since the departure of Lebron have won nine of 11 but are in a tough spot right now. The Cavaliers lost guard Darius Garland to injury and his absence has a huge impact on the Cavs play. Earlier this season with Garland scoring 35 points in Cleveland they pounded the Rockets by 35 points. This time they meet in Houston and Cleveland is 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 road games. Take HOUSTON! |

02-02-22 | Grizzlies v. Knicks +4 | 120-108 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
Memphis at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Grizzlies- Boy, this looks inviting...too inviting. After dropping three straight on the road New York has won their last two a home and host Memphis who has won 16 of their last 20. The Grizzlies had an 11-game win streak that ended two weeks ago and they are just 5-4 since. Ja Morant the Memphis guard was drafted one spot before the Knicks took RJ Barrett and the local media will make this matchup their storyline. Look for the Knicks to surprise the Grizzlies here. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
02-02-22 | Hornets +4.5 v. Celtics | Top | 107-113 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
Charlotte at Boston 7:30 ET Hornets (+) over Celtics- Two teams that are off extreme results from their last outings as Boston won their second straight a 122-92 romp over Miami Monday while the Hornets were getting blown out 115-90 at home to the Clippers. I expect both clubs to move toward the center here as there was a difference of 55 points in their results. The Celtics won the first meetings in October 140-129 in overtime...turnabout-is-fair-play. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
02-01-22 | Warriors v. Spurs +2.5 | Top | 124-120 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
Golden State at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Warriors- Interesting matchup where the 'price' is way too cheap. Golden State has won six straight games and are off a late game win at Houston and now scoot to San Antonio where the Spurs are lay-in-wait. The Spurs are expecting a trio of injured to return to the lineup as Murray, Poeltl and Derrick White will all play tonight. Golden State is still without Draymond Green and Otto Porter Jr will also be out. The Spurs have won seven of the last 10 meetings and are 4-1 after a SU loss and the Warriors are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
01-31-22 | Kings +6.5 v. Knicks | 96-116 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Sacramento at New York 7:30 ET Kings (+) over Knicks- So much more was expected from both of these clubs as the youngsters on Sacramento was supposed to mature and the Knicks busted up any winning chemistry they had established last season. The Kings have lost six straight while New York has lost six of seven. RJ Barrett the NY guard admits that they just don't match other teams intensity down the stretch. The lowly Kings blew a 17-point lead to the 76ers last time out and are just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games while New York is 7-2 ATS at home in their last nine. Still, this one should come down to the final buzzer. Take SACRAMENTO! |

01-31-22 | Raptors +1.5 v. Hawks | Top | 106-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
Toronto at Atlanta 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Hawks- Atlanta has won their last seven games and are 7-0 ATS in that span and will meet Toronto for the first time this season and the Hawks have won the past three meetings. The Hawks reserves have outscored opponents 160-60 the last six games and are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games. The Raptors who are off a 3OT win at Miami on Saturday are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs and 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games overall. Take TORONTO! |

Memphis at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Grizzlies- A pair of 'hot' spots will square off as the Grizzlies have won three in-a-row and are 12-3 in January after going 12-4 in December. The 76ers have won their last four and 14 of 17 with Joel Embiid leading the way. Memphis destroyed Philly in the first meeting 126-91 when the Sixers were devastated by injuries and COVID issues. The 76ers are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings at home and are 7-0 ATS following a ATS loss. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

01-30-22 | Nuggets +6.5 v. Bucks | 136-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Denver at Milwaukee 7:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Bucks- Denver is having quite a road trip as they have won at Detroit, Brooklyn and New Orleans and have four straight victories as Nikola Jokic has taken over. He is averaging 29.3 points, 13.1 rebounds and 10.5 assists in his last eight games. The Bucks have won four of five but are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites including 2-5 ATS at home. The Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to the Brew City and get the money once again. Take DENVER! |

01-30-22 | Blazers +6 v. Bulls | Top | 116-130 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 40 m | Show |
Portland at Chicago 3:30 ET Trailblazers (+) over Bulls- Chicago is struggling to keep it together as injuries and COVID are beginning to take a toll. Without Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso the Bulls defense has suffered and so has their overall play. The Bulls have dropped eight of their last 11 and face a team that has won five of seven on the road after starting 2-13 in away games. CJ McCollum has return to play and is looking to pad the Trailblazers 8-2 ATS record in the last 10 meetings. Take PORTLAND! |

01-30-22 | Lakers v. Hawks -7.5 | 121-129 | Win | 100 | 3 h 8 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Atlanta 1:00 ET Hawks (-) over Lakers- Atlanta is looking to repeat what they did last season when they turned things around and make a run into the playoffs. The Hawks are soaring having won their last six and host the Lakers who have lost their last two games and three of their last four. This line seems exceedingly high although LeBron James has missed the last two games an Anthony Davis returned to action after missing 17 games only to bail out Thursday because os a sore wrist. L.A. played tough last time out and got the money against the Hornets but are 7-21 ATS after a point spread win and the high flying Hawks are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games. Take ATLANTA! |

01-29-22 | Raptors +5.5 v. Heat | Top | 124-120 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
Toronto at Miami 8:00 ET Raptors (+) over Heat- Clubs that appear to be moving in opposite directions as Miami has won nine of the last 11 games while the Raptors have lost six of their last nine games overall. Toronto has been playing without Fred VanVleet but he should return to action tonight and lost to Chicago on Thursday and are 7-0 ATS after a SU loss and they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
01-28-22 | Bulls v. Spurs +2.5 | Top | 122-131 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
Chicago at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Bulls- Chicago has come a long way since the end of last season and now have an All-NBA starting guard as DeMar DeRozan who played his last three seasons with the Spurs. But, the Bulls have struggled in recent weeks with injuries and players out because of COVID. They are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four as road favorites and 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight road games overall. The Spurs are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games following a loss. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

01-28-22 | Jazz +4 v. Grizzlies | 109-119 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
Utah at Memphis 8:10 ET Jazz (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis is the hottest team in the NBA winning 14 of 17 games with Ja Morant making his mark averaging 36.8 points and 8.5 assists in the last four games. Utah on the other side has lost nine of 11 games as both Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell have missed the last five games. Both stars are probable for tonight's battle. With the Jazz having their problems and the Grizzlies so hot I am surprised the line is this low. The Jazz are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and Memphis is 0-6 ATS in their first home games after a road trip of seven days or more. (How 'bout dat). Take UTAH! |

01-28-22 | Pistons +3.5 v. Magic | 103-119 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
Detroit at Orlando 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Magic- The NBA's worst go head-to-head tonight in Orlando where the Pistons who have won only 11 games go after the Magic who have just nine victories. But, as a good friend once said to me, 'There's got to be a winner' when the game is over. The goof here is that Detroit has won just four of 22 road games while Orlando has only three wins at home in 20 games. The Pistons have covered their last four outings and are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take DETROIT! |

01-27-22 | Lakers +2.5 v. 76ers | Top | 87-105 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
L.A. Lakers at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Lakers (+) over 76ers- In Joel Embiid unstoppable? He has at least 38 points and 12 rebounds in four straight games and he has elevated his play. The floundering Lakers fresh off a win at Brooklyn saw their defensive stalwart Anthony Davis return to action after missing 17 games and block four shots. Los Angeles was 7-10 in his absence and have struggled against teams with winning records going 6-14 in their last 20. 76ers are hot but still are just 5-11 ATS in their last 15 home games. Take the LAKERS! |

01-26-22 | Mavs v. Blazers +4.5 | 132-112 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
Dallas at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Mavericks- Both teams fell in their games last night with Dallas falling 130-92 at Golden State and Portland failing 109-107 while hosting Minnesota. The Mavericks lost more than a game last night as Tim Hardaway Jr. sustained a broken foot and adjusting to playing without your point guard might take time. Dallas has won the last two meeting in Portland by an average of 27.5 points. I don't expect that tonight. Take PORTLAND! |

01-26-22 | Raptors +4 v. Bulls | Top | 105-111 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
Toronto at Chicago 8:10 ET Raptors (+) over Bulls- Toronto is looking to get remain on track after defeating Charlotte 125-113 on Tuesday and they did it without Fred VanFleet who was sidelined. The Raptors are 6-0 ATS with no rest and 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games overall. Chicago after a fabulous start have hit hard with injuries and COVID protocols and are struggling losing five of their last six and are 2-5-1 ATS as home favorites. Take TORONTO! |

L.A. Clippers at Orlando 7:10 ET Magic (+) over Clippers- If you had heard a half-time score of last night's Clippers' game where at one time trailed by 35 points and got the 116-115 final in the morning you may have thought you were still dreaming. How do you top that entering a game against the league's worst team with only nine wins? You can't! Orlando has just two wins in their last 16 games but one was their last time out a 114-95 win over Chicago. The Magic played the Clippers tough in their single meeting in Los Angeles losing 106-104 at the buzzer. Can't use stats here. Take ORLANDO! |

01-25-22 | Mavs +3 v. Warriors | Top | 92-130 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 45 m | Show |
Dallas at Golden State 10:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- For the Mavericks there is something special that happens when they go play at the Chase Center in San Francisco as they are 3-0 against the host Warriors. Dallas is 11-2 SU in their last 14 games as they have held 10 opponents under 100 points scored. But defense has been the name of the game of Golden State as they are ranked No.1 allowing just 101.9 ppg while the Mavericks are ranked No. 3 allowing just 102.5 ppg. Curry is slumping, Draymond Green is out and Klay Thompson is questionable. Take DALLAS! |

L.A. Lakers at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Lakers (+) over Nets- So, the word is that the Lakers spent more time partying in South Beach buying five-figure bottles of wine Saturday night before falling to the Heat 113-107 on Sunday. Now, in Brooklyn the Lakers will face the Nets who will be without Kyrie Irving and Los Angeles should have Anthony Davis turning to the lineup tonight. The Lakers are 14-4-3 ATS in their last 21 trips east against the Nets and Brooklyn is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 home games. Take the LAKERS! |

01-25-22 | Pelicans +8.5 v. 76ers | 107-117 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over 76ers- Two years ago the 76ers couldn't buy a win on the road and were a dominate home team but things have turned. They are a pedestrian 10-10 SU and 8-12 ATS as host and this time around are 17-9 SU on the road. New Orleans surprisingly enough are the sixth seed in the East despite a 18-28 record and are off a road win over the Knicks. The Pelicans are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings and are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games in Philly. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Write-in Game Chicago at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Bulls- Five games before the season's mid-point the Bulls were 26-10 and one of the best ATS winners in the league but injuries and COVID issues have spun this team in another direction. Chicago was down to six players with 113 combined starts this season and they just haven't been competitive losing seven of their last nine in cluing a loss to the NBA's worst team Orlando yesterday. Oklahoma City has been even worse losing the last five and 10-of-11 losing at Cleveland yesterday 94-87. Thunder are 7-1-1 ATS as home dogs and Bulls are 1-5 ATS as home favorites have get gored here. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

Memphis at Dallas 7:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Grizzlies- Hot is hot and both of these squads are on a run having each won 8-of-10. This is the fourth meetings of the season between the two and Dallas has won the last two with Memphis the winner in the first encounter. It was the Mavericks who ended the Grizzlies 11-game win streak and are off a 109-101 home loss to Phoenix and they are 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take DALLAS! |

Philadelphia who was led by Joel Embiid who has scored 90 points in his last two games but the Sixers who are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 trips to San Antonio will be short handed with just eight players available. Spurs are 19-7-1 ATS after a SU loss of 10-points or more. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

L.A. Lakers at Miami 6:10 ET Lakers (+) over Heat- Playing 'against' Miami is always so stressful because they are so well coached disciplined and always give a professional effort. Not the same can be said of the Lakers who have more chemistry problems than I ever had in sophomore science labs. LeBron James at 37 is playing some of the best basketball of his career and is returning to Miami where he won a pair of NBA titles. The Heat will mostly likely be without Tyler Herro once again and he is a key component to their success. Take LOS ANGELES |

Oklahoma City at Cleveland 8:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Thunder- The Cavaliers have made one of the most impressive turnarounds from one season to the next in the NBA and currently are an amazing 30-15-1 ATS on the year and they have done it with defense. Cleveland is ranked 3rd in points allowed with 102.8 and Oklahoma City is hampered on offense ranking dead last with just 100.6 PPG. Despite their poor overall record the thunder have been a 'take' on the road going 14-6 ATS as road underdogs. But, the Cavaliers are 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 home games including 7-2-1 ATS as home favorites. Cavs are off a blowout loss at Chicago and look to rebound here. Take CLEVELAND! |

Memphis at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Grizzlies- The Grizzlies have turned heads with their most recent play which included an 11-game win streak with Ja Morant paving the way. Memphis was short-handed in their loss to Milwaukee and will most likely be two players short for tonight's encounter. The Griz have been great as underdogs going 9-2 ATS on the road but are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six trips to Denver. The Nuggets Nikola Jokic is back and dominating play as he recorded another triple-double headed by his 49 points against the Clippers Wednesday. Take DENVER! |

Brooklyn at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Nets- The biggest guessing game in the NBA is who is going to play for Brooklyn and where will they be playing. Well, Kyrie Irving will be playing is Texas while Kevin Durant will be sidelined and James Harden looks once more for another trade. San Antonio has won two of their last three and are 11-7 when they have had their starting lineup healthy. Irving was fined $25,000 last time out for an altercation with a fan. Brooklyn is a totally different team without Durant as they are 7-19 ATS as favorites and 8-21 ATS after a SU win and they are 2-7 ATS in their last nine trips to San Antonio. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

The Blazers Jusuf Nurkic has record three consecutive double-doubles since his return from COVID and they are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five trips to Boston.

Last time out against Detroit the trio including Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins shot 20-of-37 posting just the third wi in eight games for the Warriors. Indiana who has never lost at the Chase Center winning in each of the past two season while Thompson was sidelined.

The Suns beat Dallas twice in November and have won eight straight meetings and 15 of the past 18 SU. The Mavericks have won four in-a-row and 10 of their last 11 games including six straight at home.

Indiana at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Pacers (+) over Lakers- The Lakers are beginning to realize 'this is serious' as they are cutting players minutes on the court. Los Angeles used only four players off the bench in Monday win over Utah as 'Magic' oops, LeBron ran the show and the less Westbrook handles the ball the better for them. But, old habits are hard to break and I expect Russell to have his hands on the ball more tonight and that helps the Pacers who have dropped their last four and 13 of 16. But the Pacers are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 games as underdogs and the Lakers are 9-19 ATS as home favorites. Take INDIANA! |

Detroit still they dregs of the league are 3-19 SU on the road but are an improved 10-12 ATS and are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 following a loss. Sacramento is in turmoil as coaching changes and person grips about wanting ti be traded have been the highlight of their season. (oh yeah, they have beaten the Lakers).

This line may seem a bit inflated but Chicago will be without Lonzo Ball and Zach LaVine and the fading Bulls are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against teams with winning records.

The Timberwolves players believe that they are ready to establish themselves as a formidable force in the playoff hunt. The last time the Warriors played here they were 4.5-point favorites and now they are 4.5-point underdogs. The line has swung 9-points and I believe the oddsmakers here. Take MINNESOTA! |

LeBron James is trying to square to Lakers and has scored 30 or more points in 11 of his last 12 games but L.A. is still without Anthony Davis and has been hit time and again with COVID issues. The reigning MVP Nikola Jokic numbers are even better this season but the supporting cast of the Nuggets hasn't lived up to their potential. Los Angeles is 4-0 ATS in their last four games as road underdogs and are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Denver is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites and 3-9 ATS after a SU win.

The Grizzlies are the hottest team in the NBA having won 11 straight while the Mavs just got wasted in New York 108-85 by the Knicks and I expect them to rebound here as they are 6-0 ATS in their last six game following a SU loss. Considering how these guys are playing this seems like a very short 'price.' The Grizz are hot and on a great run but they are still just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as home favorites.

Miami, has won three straight and 8-of-10 and most of this was done without Jimmy Butler which lets you know just how well the Heat are coached but they are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games as favorites and 0-6 as favorites at home in their last six as hosts.

Dallas at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (+) over Mavericks- Dallas celebrated their Dirk Nowitzki honor Megabucks victory over Golden State Wednesday and have now won four straight. The Rockets blasted off against Washington last time out winning 114-111 breaking an eight game SU and ATS losing streak. Houston came to life after coach Silas suspended Kevin Porter and Christian Wood for one game and they responded. I'm looking for a Mavericks letdown after their heralded win and a spirited effort from the Rockets. Take HOUSTON! |

Utah at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (-) over Jazz- If you do a double or triple take when you first see the 'line' on this game I wouldn't be surprised. The send out 'price' was Utah -3 but this morning Toronto opened a double-digit favorite. Thinking how can this be as the Jazz have won 10 straight on the road and have defeated the Raptors the last three times that they have played. But, A-Ha...five Utah players have been ruled out for the game gutting their roster as 4-of-5 are starters. Take TORONTO! |

Golden State at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Warriors- If this isn't a typo there is something 'rotten in Denmark.' You have got to be kidding me with this opening line at New Orleans where the NBA's best is a meager favorite against one of the league dregs. My lone release yesterday 'we' posted Dallas over the Warriors and won our Megabucks and in that contest Steph Curry was injured and is not expected to play. The Pelicans have dropped their last three and 4-of-5 while Golden State is 1-4 ATS against teams with losing records.Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Miami at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Heat- I hate it, I really do, but there is no way getting around having to play 'against' the Heat. I know that they are well coached and it's probably a mismatch between Eric Sopelstra who always has his team ready to play through all kinds of adversities. Portland is a different teams than years' past and now we get to see why it took so long for Chauncey Billups to get a job. But, the heart and sole of this South Beach Crew is Jimmy Butler and he left the game against the Warriors last time out with an ankle injury and will be down for at least a week. Blazers are 5-2 ATS at home against the Heat...take PORTLAND! |

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! |

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! |

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! |

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! |

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.

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! |

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.

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! |

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! |

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.

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! |

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! |

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 |
