20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -7½ -110

The Lakers (-7.5) are worth a look as a decently priced home favorite against the Thunder in Friday's NBA action. Most are going to think there's no way a LA team that just got knocked out of the playoff race should be laying this kind of number against anybody. What they ignore is the fact that OKC clearly wants nothing to do with winning games either down the stretch. While the stars might not play for the Lakers, I think the "other" guys play well for LA in their final home game of the season. Play the Lakers -7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +4 -105

The Grizzlies (+4) are worth a look as a short road dog against the Nuggets in Thursday's NBA action. It doesn't matter who suits up for Memphis, they are going to come out and play hard. Ja Morant is great, but this a very deep and talented roster. No way should they be getting this many points. Denver's 2-games up on Minnesota with 2 to play, needing just one more win or one more Wolves loss to avoid the play-in. Play the Grizzlies +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns vs Clippers under 229½ -110

The UNDER (229.5) is worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action between the Clippers and Suns. LA has won 3 of 4 since Paul George returned with the only loss coming into OT at Chicago (should have won in regulation). Down to just 3 games left for Phoenix. With the No. 1 seed locked up. There's no incentive for them right now. Only thing that matters is going into the playoffs as healthy as possible. Look for their offensive numbers to dwindle as they start cutting more minutes. Backups are going to give effort on defense as they try to earn playing time in the playoffs. Total is way too high. Play the UNDER 229.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors -2½ -110

The Raptors (-2.5) are worth a look as a short home favorite against the Heat in Sunday's NBA action. Miami does need to keep winning to maintain their lead for the No. 1 seed in the East, but it's every bit as important to the Raptors. Toronto still has work to do to stay in the Top 6 and avoid the play-in games. This is also a Raptors team that has been playing great. Toronto is 10-3 ATS over their last 13 games. Miami is also in a bad spot, playing on no rest and their 3rd road game in 4 days. Play the Raptors -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -1 -110

The Nets (-1) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Hawks in Saturday's NBA action. Brooklyn, Atlanta and Charlotte are all tied for the No. 7 seed in the East. Ton of incentive to be the No. 7 and avoid having to play an elimination game in the No. 9/No. 10 matchup (loser of No. 7 vs No. 8 gets to play winner of 9/10 for the No. 8 seed). Just don't see Durant/Irving letting the Nets lose in this spot. Play Brooklyn -1! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +2½ -110

The Rockets (+2.5) are worth a look as a short home dog against the Kings. Love the revenge angle for Houston in this one. These two teams just played each other in Houston on Wednesday. Sacramento won that 121-118, so it's not like Houston didn't put up a fight. Rockets still managed to push on the spread, making them 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games. Play Houston +2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +11 -110

The Pistons (+11) are worth a look as a double-digit home dog against the 76ers in Thursday's NBA action. Detroit has been one of the most undervalued teams in the league the last couple of months. Going back to Feb. 16 the Pistons are 16-3 ATS. They have also covered 6 straight as a 10-point dog or more. Philly is just 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14, as they continue to be overpriced since the Harden trade. Play the Pistons +11! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies -5½ -110

The Grizzlies (-5.5) are worth a look as a road favorite against the Spurs in Wednesday's NBA action. Memphis may be without Ja Morant and playing on no rest, but that doesn't mean they are going to lay down. The books have undervalued this Grizzlies team all season and here we are at the end of March and they have covered 5 straight. Just because the game means more to the Spurs, doesn't mean they are going to cover. Play Memphis -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons vs Nets over 229½ -110

The OVER (229.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's NBA action between the Nets and Pistons. I look for Brooklyn to come out and put on a show offensively. You got a Nets team that is going to be motivated to play well coming off an ugly home loss to the Hornets. Pistons won't be able to stop Brooklyn's offense, but I do think they can score on them, even without Grant. Nets probably aren't going to be all that invested defensively given the gap in talent between these two teams and the fact that they got the Bucks on deck. Play the OVER 229.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cavs -9½ -105

The Cavs (-9.5) are worth a look as a near double-digit home favorite against the Magic in Monday's NBA action. Easy play on Cleveland here. Cavs desperately need to get this thing going in the right direction. Cleveland has lost 3 straight and are now 7th in the standings and part of the play-in games. Orlando is a perfect opponent to get back on track against. The Magic have no real incentive to win, as they sit tied with the Rockets and Pistons for the worst record in the NBA. Play the Cavs -9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -5½ -110

The Celtics (-5.5) are worth a look as a home favorite against the Timberwolves in Sunday's NBA action. Both of these teams are playing great basketball down the stretch. Minnesota has won 13 of their last 16, while the Celtics have won 12 of their last 14. I've just been way more impressed with what I've seen from the Celtics and it feels like they are on a mission to get that No. 1 seed (just 1/2-game back). Play Boston -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -3 -105

The Nets (-3) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Heat in Saturday's NBA action. Miami's in a real funk right now. The Heat have lost 3 straight. There was that blow between Butler and Spoelstra in Wednesday's loss at home to the Warriors and then they get outscored 38-15 in the 4th quarter of last night's 103-111 loss to the Knicks. I just don't see Miami snapping out of this funk on no rest against a desperate Nets team that is trying to get out of the play-in games and find something to really build on going into the playoffs. Play Brooklyn -3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -3½ -105

The Jazz (-3.5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against the Jazz in Friday's NBA action. Utah is clearly the better team and they figure to come out with a sense of urgency after first losing at Brooklyn when they didn't have Kyrie and then getting steamrolled by 28 at Boston on Wednesday. Charlotte has won 5 of their last 6, but are fresh off an ugly 15-point loss to a Knicks team playing on no rest and off a huge loss to the Hawks. Just don't trust the Hornets at this price. Play the Jazz -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Mavs -8½ -110

The Mavs (-8.5) are worth a look as a big home favorite against the Rockets in Wednesday's NBA action. Easy play on Dallas laying single-digits against a bad Houston team who has zero to play for down the stretch. Mavs are only 2.5-games ahead of Minnesota, who sits in 7th and part of the play-in process. They are also just 1-game back of Utah for the No. 4 seed and getting to have homecourt edge in the 1st round. Play Dallas -8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks PK -110

The Hawks (PK) are worth a look as a pick'em on the road against the Knicks. I just don't trust New York to show up at this point. Yes the Hawks are the team they are chasing for that 10th and final spot, but they are 5-back with 11 to play. There's also a ton of incentive here for Atlanta to not let the Knicks hang around and really cement that play-in spot. Hawks are simply the better team. Play Atlanta PK! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers +6 -105

The Lakers (+6) are worth a look as a road dog against the Cavaliers in Monday's NBA action. Good time to bet against Cleveland, as they just aren't the same team without big man Jarrett Allen. Lakers might not be playing great either, but they are clearly the more desperate team, as they are just 2.5 games ahead of the Spurs for the 10th and final playoff spot in the west. Cavs are just 8-21 ATS last 2 seasons when playing a team with a losing record in the 2nd half of the season. Play the Lakers +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +5½ -110

The Knicks (+5.5) are worth a look as a home dog against the Jazz in Sunday's NBA action. New York has covered 7 of their last 8 and the only game they didn't cover they were up 15 with 4 minutes left and only won by 3 (6-point favorites). Every game is huge to the Knicks right now, as they are 5.5 out of the 10th and final spot. Utah could have a tough time not looking ahead to tomorrow's game in Brooklyn. Play the Knicks +5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards +5½ -105

The Wizards (+5.5) are worth a look as a road dog against the Knicks on Friday. Everyone is going to be on New York at this price. New York has covered 7 straight, while Washington has lost and failed to cover in each of their last 5. You just got to remember the books aren't dumb. When a line looks this far off, you got to take the other side. Play the Wizards +5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -4½ -110

The Jazz (-4.5) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against the Bulls in Wednesday's NBA action. Utah is showing some value right now after really struggling to cover the number of late. Jazz have failed to cover 3 straight and 9 of their last 11 overall. It's just not asking much for them to win by 5 or more against the Bulls. Chicago has been one of the better teams in the east, but have had a lot of trouble hanging with the top tier teams. Play Utah -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets +3½ -110

The Nuggets (+3.5) are worth a look as a short road dog against the 76ers. Everyone has been praising this Philly team since they acquired James Harden, but I think the momentum they had going really took a hit in their loss to the Nets at home last week. The 76ers could have responded with a big win after that poor showing, but instead needed OT to get by the Magic as a double-digit favorite. I think they struggle again here and the Nuggets get the outright win, but we will take the points just to be safe. Play Denver +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -4½ -110

The Clippers (-4.5) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Pistons in Sunday's NBA action. Detroit has covered in 10 straight games and are now getting way too much respect because of it. LA has lost 3 of their last 4, but have covered their last 2 and are quietly 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games. Clippers just lost by 6 at the Hawks, which sets them up in a very profitable spot, as they are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 road games off a loss by 6 or less. Play the Clippers -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers vs Jazz under 221½ -110

The UNDER (221.5) is worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action between the Jazz and Blazers. This is just way too high a total for how bad Portland's offense has been of late. The Blazers just scored 81 in their last game and have now scored 95 or fewer points in 4 of their last 5 games. Hard to see it getting better on the road against a stingy Utah defense, especially if Anfernee Simmons can't go (questionable). Just don't see this game getting into the 220s. Play the UNDER 221.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -2½ -110

The Nets (-2.5) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Hornets in Tuesday's NBA action. Brooklyn has lost 17 of their last 20 games and I believe it has them way undervalued here. A lot of those losses came either with Harden not trying, Irving forced to sit out at home and/or Durant sidelined with an injury. Harden is out the door, Irving will be a go in Charlotte and Durant is back and showing zero signs of rust. Nets desperately need to start winning games and this is simply one they can't afford to lose. Play Brooklyn -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards -2½ -110

The Wizards (-2.5) are worth a look as a short home favorite against the Pacers in Sunday's NBA action. Neither of these teams are playing the best basketball, but I think there's clear value here with Washington at the price. Indiana has really fallen off since making all those trades at the deadline and are just not a team that I see having much success on the road. We have seen that in their last 3 games. They lost by 16 at Orlando, needed a huge 4th quarter and OT to win the rematch at the Magic a couple days later and then lost at the Pistons on Friday. Play Washington -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -6½ -105

The Suns (-6.5) are worth a look as relatively short home favorite against the Knicks in Friday's NBA action. This is really an easy fade of New York, who seems to be stuck in reverse right now. Knicks have lost 3 straight out of the break and 6 in a row overall. The struggles go back even further, as they are just 2-13 SU over their last 15 and the same 2-13 ATS during this stretch. It's bad on both sides of the ball for New York, who continuing struggle to put up points and get stops. Knicks have allowed 11 or more points in 11 straight games. Even without Chris Paul, Suns are just too good to not take a shot on them winning at home by 7 or more. Play Phoenix -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -6½ -105

The Celtics (-6.5) are worth a look as a decently priced home favorite against the Hawks. Big bounce back spot for Boston after losing 107-128 at Indiana as a 9.5-point favorite. That was a big flat spot for the Celtics playing on no rest and their 3rd game in 4 days. They should be locked in back at home against Atlanta. Boston is 14-4 ATS last 18 off a road loss by 10 or more. Hawks are 8-23 ATS last 31 as a road dog of 6.5 to 12 points. Play the Celtics -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat -4½ -110

The Heat (-4.5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against the Knicks in Friday's NBA action. New York has really fell flat on their face over the last couple of months. Knicks were just 3-13 over their final 16 games before the All-Star break. They just haven't been the same team since losing Derrick Rose to injury and while he's close to coming back, he's been downgraded to doubtful for this game. New York may also be messing R.J. Barrett and over the break they decided it was in their best interest to sit Kemba Walker the rest of the season. Miami is just too talented and too deep a team to not make easy work of the Knicks in this one. Play the Heat -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -5½ -110

The Celtics (-5.5) are worth a look as a relatively short road favorite against the Nets. Boston was playing some of their best basketball of the entire season before the All-Star break, winning 9 of 10. I look for them to have no problem keeping it going in this one, especially with how short-handed Brooklyn is. Nets won't have any of their newly formed Big 3 of Durant, Irving or Simmons. Brooklyn has some guys who can score, but their defense is a major problem and Boston was playing lights out defense over the last month. Play the Celtics -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Magic +6½ -105

The Magic (+6.5) are worth a look as a decently priced home dog against the Hawks in Wednesday's NBA action. Most are going to run to the ticket window to lay the points with Atlanta after their impressive 124-116 win over the Cavs last night. Hawks just aren't the same team on the road as they are at home and have to play here on no rest. It's also their 3rd game in 4 nights with the All-Star break on deck. I like the Magic to not only cover, but win this game outright. Play Orlando +6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies -3½ -110

The Grizzlies (-3.5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against the Pelicans. There is a chance that Morant won't suit up for Memphis in this game, but we have seen this Grizzlies team play extremely well when he's not been available. This is a very deep Memphis team and one that is playing with a ton of confidence right now. Pelicans are in a bad spot on no rest and while they were impressive in last night's 120-90 win over the Raptors, they couldn't have shot it any better in that game. It won't be so easy against a stingy and very underrated Memphis defense. Play the Grizzlies -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Thunder vs Knicks over 204½ -115

The OVER 204.5 is worth a look in Monday's NBA action between the Knicks and Thunder. I get these aren't the two most explosive offenses, but we don't need a shootout to eclipse this low number. In the Knicks last 5 games they are averaging 110.6 ppg and giving up 118.6 ppg. Hard to see them being all that invested defensively against a bad OKC team, especially having just recently completed a lengthy 5-game west coast trip on Saturday. Play the OVER 204.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors -1½ -110

The Raptors (-1.5) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Hornets in Monday's NBA action. Toronto should be favored in this one. The Raptors are playing their best basketball of the season, while Charlotte seems out of sorts. Toronto has won and covered in 5 straight, beating the Heat twice, the Hawks twice and the Bulls once during the win streak. Hornets have lost 4 in a row. They scored just 86 in their last game at home against the Heat. Theirs rifts between the players and coaches, Ball is playing way to loose and Hayward has been a non-factor since returning. Play the Raptors -1.5

20* SHARP PLAY on Magic +9½ -107

The Magic (+9.5) are worth a look as a near double-digit home dog against the Celtics. Boston is getting a little too much respect here after winning 4 straight and 6 of their last 7. Not an easy game for the Celtics to get up for either. Magic aren't a very good team, but they are playing well here of late, going 4-3 SU and 4-3 ATS over their last 7 games. Look for Orlando to make a game of it on their home court. Play the Magic +9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bulls -1½ -110

The Bulls (-1.5) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Pacers in Friday's NBA action. This is going to look like an awful spot for Chicago, playing on no rest after an OT loss at Toronto last night and the concern that Zach LaVine won't play. Sometimes the spot doesn't matter. Not when you are playing a team in as bad a shape as the Pacers. Indiana is decimated with injuries and with the most recent loss of Isaiah Jackson, they got next to nothing in the frontcourt. It's why we saw them give up 66 points in the 2nd half of their last game at home against the Magic. Play the Bulls -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors -10½ -110

The Warriors (-10.5) are worth a look as a double-digit road favorite against the Rockets in Monday's NBA action. Golden State toyed with Houston a couple weeks ago in a 105-103 home win. They won't be so kind this time around. Rockets just don't have the offensive fire-power to keep up and they aren't going to force 17 turnovers like they did in the last meeting. Play the Warriors -10.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers vs Wizards over 217½ -110

The OVER (217.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's NBA action between the Wizards and Clippers. Both of these defenses come into this game struggling. Los Angeles is allowing 115.0 ppg over their last 5 and the Wizards are giving up 111.4 ppg over their last 5. You also got a Washington offense that is averaging 110.2 ppg at home this season. This should easily get into the 220s. Play the OVER 217.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +8 -110

Blazers (+8) are worth a look as a near double-digit road dog against the Celtics in Friday's NBA action. Portland is not as down bad as people think without Lillard. Simmons has stepped in and been performing at an exceptional level. The Blazers have been vastly undervalued because of it and it shows with 4 outright wins as an underdog in their last 6 games. Play Portland +8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat -4 -110

The Heat (-4) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against the Hawks in Friday's NBA action. These two teams just played in Atlanta on Wednesday and Miami won going away 115-91. Heat are now 12-4 over their last 16 and have covered 4 straight. The Hawks are just 4-11 SU & ATS over their last 15 as they continue to be a huge disappointment. Revenge isn't going to be a big enough factor here. Play the Heat -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -5½ -110

The Hawks (-5.5) are worth a look as a mid-range road favorite against the Blazers in Monday's NBA action. This just isn't enough points for Atlanta to be laying. Portland is decimated right now. They don't have either of their dynamic duo in Lillard and McCollum. They also won't have Nurkic or Zeller. Hawks are missing their fair share, but should get some key guys back and win here rather comfortably. Play the Hawks -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +4½ -110

*All NBA picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models*

20* SHARP PLAY on Wolves +5½ -105

The Timberwolves (+5.5) are worth a look as a decently priced home dog against the Knicks. New York comes in off an impressive 101-87 win over the Hawks on Christmas Day, but Atlanta has everyone out. Overall this Knicks team just hasn't been playing well. Minnesota on the other hand is playing well right now. Timberwolves are 6-1 ATS over their last 7 games with 5 outright wins as an underdog during this stretch. Play Minnesota +5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Spurs +7½ -110

The Spurs (+7.5) are worth a look as a decently priced road dog against the Jazz in Monday's NBA action. This is just too big a number for Utah to be laying without Donovan Mitchell. You also got to look at how Utah has been playing. Yes, they have won 3 straight and 11 of 13 overall, but they are 0-5 ATS last 5 games. Spurs are playing some of their best ball, as they have won and covered each of their last 3. Play San Antonio +7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -3½ -110

The Suns (-3.5) are worth a look as a short home favorite against the Warriors in Saturday's big Christmas Day matchup. The home team has dominated the first two matchups in this series. Phoenix won 104-96 and Golden State won 118-96. I expect that to continue, especially given who will be available. Suns are close to full strength, while the Warriors will be without two big pieces in Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole. They might also be without Andre Iguodala. Play the Suns -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +9½ -110

The Rockets (+9.5) are worth a look as a big road dog against the Pacers in Thursday's NBA action. The Pacers shouldn't be this big a home favorite with how they are playing. Indiana will likely be without Brogdon and have a big game on deck Christmas Day. Houston is on no rest, but will be getting back a big piece in this game in Green. Look for the Rockets to make a game of it. Play Houston +9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Spurs vs Jazz over 223½ -110

The OVER (223.5) is worth a look in Friday's NBA action between the Spurs and Jazz. Utah's offense is too good right now to not take the OVER with them at home. Jazz have scored 127, 129, 137, 109, 136, 118, 123 and 124 points in their last 8 games. Spurs have allowed 107 or more in 6 of their last 6 and scored 110 or more in 7 of 9. Play the OVER 223.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -7½ -110

The Suns (-7.5) are worth a look as a decently priced home favorite against the Wizards in Thursday's NBA action. Terrible spot for Washington, playing the second of a back-to-back and 3rd road game in 4 nights overall. We saw this Wizards team run out of gas in the 4th quarter last night, getting outscored 35-16 in the 4th quarter of a 119-105 loss. Play the Suns -7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cavs -8½ -110

The Cavs (-8.5) are worth a look as a big home favorite against the Rockets in Wednesday's NBA action. It might feel like the books are finally starting to inflate the number on Cleveland, but I don't think that's the case at all. No question Houston has played better of late, but that was when they were at least semi-healthy. That's no longer the case. Houston is decimated with injuries once again and simply put, I don't see them keeping this one close at all. Play the Cavs -8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hornets +3½ -110

The Hornets (+3.5) are worth a look as a small road dog against the Mavs in Monday's NBA action. Good spot to fade Dallas, who is playing on no rest and without not just their best player but one of the best players in the game in Doncic. Not to mention they just won yesterday 103-84 at OK as a mere 4-point favorite. Charlotte is missing guys, but they are a deep team that has really seemed to take on the challenge of playing short-handed. They have covered 5 straight, winning 3 of those outright as a dog. Play the Hornets +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -4½ -110

The Lakers (-4.5) are worth a look as a road favorite against the Thunder. After a really bad showing last night at Memphis against a Grizzlies team that was without Morant and Brooks, I like LA to take care of business against a bad OKC team. Play the Lakers -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -2½ -110

The Lakers (-2.5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against the Grizzlies in Thursday's NBA action. Not only is Los Angeles playing better of late, the Lakers are catching Memphis in a bad spot. Grizzlies will be playing on no rest after a game against the Mavs last night. Say what you want about the Lakers defense, they are clicking on offense and this Grizzlies team plays no defense. Play LA -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets -1½ -110

The Nuggets (-1.5) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Pelicans in Wednesday's NBA action. This line looks fishy, but in the end it's just too good a price to pass up with Denver. Nuggets are a better team than their 11-12 record and I feel are a little undervalued after a bad showing at Chicago last time out. Pelicans just aren't a good team and won't be until Zion gets back on the floor and playing at a high level. Play the Nuggets -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -2½ -110

The Nets (-2.5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against the Mavs in Tuesday's NBA action. Brooklyn is going to be up for this one with it being part of the TNT double-header. Plus, they are going to be hungry to bounce back from an ugly home loss to the Bulls on Saturday. Dallas is banged up right now and are just 2-7 in their last 9, having failed to cover 5 of their last 7. Play the Nets -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -5½ -110

The Nets (-5.5) are worth a look laying what I feel is a short number at home against the Knicks in Tuesday's NBA action. Knicks are coming off a nice win at Atlanta, but the offense didn't do a lot in the first game without Kemba and the Hawks were in the 2nd game of a back-to-back. Nets are going to be pissed off after losing another big game at home to the Suns. They show up and make a statement here. Play the Nets -5.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Cavs +7 -105

The Cavs (+7) are worth a look as a big home dog against the red-hot Suns in Wednesday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Cleveland, as we are seeing Phoenix way overvalued on the road with their 13-game winning streak. Note that while the Suns keep finding ways to win, they are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5. Cavs have been one of the more undervalued teams all year and come into this game 11-3-2 ATS over their last 16 games. Play Cleveland +7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hornets vs Wizards over 214½ -105

The OVER (214.5) is worth a look in Monday's NBA action between the Wizards and Hornets. This total is just too low. The Hornets are giving up 115.5 ppg on the road this season and Washington is scoring 112.0 ppg at home. I could easily see the Wizards getting to 120 with Charlotte figuring to be lacking energy playing their second straight on the road in what will be their 3rd game in 4 nights. Hornets are scoring 110.7 ppg on the road and if they can just get to 100 I think we cash this easy. Play the OVER 214.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors +4½ -110

The Raptors (+4.5) are worth a look as a small road dog against the Kings in Friday's NBA action. Toronto hasn't played great and will be playing on no rest after a game last night in Utah, but this is too many points for Sacramento to be laying with how they are playing right now. The Kings just lost 3 of 4 on the road to the likes of the Spurs, Thunder, Pistons and Twolves. They are also just 2-4 SU in home games this year. Play the Raptors +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cavs -4½ -110

The Cavs (-4.5) are worth a look as a slim 4.5-point home favorite against the Pistons. The books are just way off here with this line. Detroit is right there with the Magic as the worst team in the league and while they beat the Rockets on the road in their last game, they got no business being this short of a dog against a Cavs team that has been one of the most improved teams in the league early on. Cleveland has covered 8 of the 12 games they have played and are going to be extremely motivated after letting a win slip away in their last matchup with the Wizards. Cavs should win here by double-digits easy. Play Cleveland -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wolves +8 -115

The Timberwolves (+8) are worth a look as a big road dog against the Warriors in Wednesday's NBA action. Minnesota is getting a reputation of finding ways to lose games, especially after their 4th quarter collapse in a 118-125 OT loss at Memphis on Monday. I just think it has the Timberwolves a bit undervalued here. On the flip side, Golden State is starting to get a bit overpriced and rightfully so after they have gone 5-0 SU and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games. Play the Warriors +8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors -2½ -110

The Warriors (-2.5) are worth a look as a short home favorite against the Hawks in Monday's NBA action. Golden State will be on no rest here, but the line has been adjusted way too much because of it. No way should the Warriors be this short of a favorite at home against this Hawks team. Atlanta has been overvalued all season and are just 1-6 ATS over their last 7 games. Wouldn't be the first time the books sold the Warriors short, as they are 6-3 ATS on the season. Play the Warriors -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors +4 -110

The Raptors (+4) are worth a look as a short home dog against the Nets in Sunday's NBA action. Toronto has really been playing well here of late. Since starting the season 1-3, they won 5 of their last 6. Raptors are also expected to be getting back one of their best players in Pascal Siakam, who has yet to play a game this season. Nets are still without Kyrie and while they have won 4 straight, its come against some very soft competition. I like the Raptors to win outright. Play Toronto +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers vs Blazers under 223 -110

The UNDER (223) is worth a look in Friday's NBA action between the Blazers and Pacers. Portland is just not the offensive juggernaut that we are use to seeing and I think it has their totals a bit inflated to start this year. We have definitely seen that in the results, as the UNDER is 5-1 in their last 6 games. UNDER has also been a strong bet in Pacers' games, going 5-2 over their last 7. Play the UNDER 223! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics +8 -110

The Celtics (+8) are worth a look as a big road dog against the Heat in Thursday's NBA action. Just feels like the books have inflated this line way too much. Part because of how good Miami has looked and how bad Boston has looked, but also the Celtics being on no rest after a game last night in Orlando. I just think it all adds up to Miami laying a few too many. Play the Celtics +8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -6 -110

The Celtics (-6) is worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action between the Magic and Celtics. This just feels like a get right spot for Boston, who comes in having lost 3 straight. The last two being especially painful. The Celtics lost 112-115 in OT at Washington on Saturday and then fell 114-128 at home to the Bulls on Monday after going into the 4th quarter of that game leading 103-89 (outscored 39-11 in the 4th). If Boston wins those two games they are a much bigger favorite here against an awful Magic team. Play the Celtics -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -4½ -110

The Bucks (-4.5) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Pistons in Tuesday's NBA action. Milwaukee isn't expected to have Lopez, Middleton or Holiday, but they will have Antetokounmpo. As long as he's on the floor, he can carry this team to a road win against a really bad Pistons team. Play Milwaukee -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Magic vs Wolves over 214½ -110

The OVER (214.5) is worth a look in Monday's NBA action between the Magic and Timberwolves. Orlando is one of the worst teams in the league and are not playing well defensively. This is a team a good Minnesota offense can kind of have their way with at home and I see them being motivated to play well offensively after just losing 91-93 at home to the Nuggets, where they shot just 38.9% from the field. Play the OVER 214.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Bucks under 224½ -110

The UNDER (224.5) is worth a look in Sunday's NBA action between the Bucks and Jazz. Scoring in the NBA has been down a bit to start the year and I think we are seeing some good value on the UNDER because of it. I also don't see a fast pace here with both teams playing on no rest. You also got two legit title contenders facing off, which should add a little more to this one. Play the UNDER 224.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Magic vs Raptors over 210 -105

The OVER (210) is worth a look in Friday's NBA action between the Raptors and Magic. This is just too low a total for this matchup. I know the Raptors are only scoring 103.8 ppg, but that is skewed quite a bit with them being just 5 games in and having that ugly opening night performance where they scored just 83 points. This Orlando defense is awful. The Magic have given up 120+ points in 3 of their 5 games. I also just think because of how bad Orlando is perceived to be, teams aren't going to go all out defensively against them. Play the OVER 210!

20* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +3 -110

The Knicks (+3) are worth a look as a slim road dog against the Bulls in Thursday's NBA action. I just think this is the perfect spot to sell high on Chicago. Bulls have started out 4-0 SU and 4-0 ATS, but they have also feasted on bad teams. I like the direction Chicago is headed, but I just think they are going to have a really tough time here against a very good Knicks team that will be every bit as motivated as Chicago to win this game. Give me the Knicks +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -7½ -105

The Clippers (-7.5) is worth a look as a big home favorite against the Cavs in Tuesday's NBA action. This might seem like a big number after Cleveland's last two games. The Cavs beat the Hawks 101-95 as a 8-point dog on Saturday and then came back and won 99-87 as a 9.5-point dog at Denver on Monday. I just think a lot of that was the Cavs catching the Hawks and Nuggets not all that invested. I don't see that being the case with LA. The Clippers are just 1-2 to start the year and there's going to be motivation to get that record over .500. I just think they should be closer to a double-digit favorite at home here. Play the Clippers -7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -4½ -110

The Lakers (-4.5) are worth a look as a road favorite against the Spurs in Tuesday's NBA action. LA avoided an 0-3 start with a 121-118 win at home against the Grizzlies on Sunday. I think we saw a lot of positives from the Lakers, who basically treated that 3-game homestand to start the season as their preseason tuneup. The Spurs only win has come against arguably the worst team in the league in the Magic. I just don't see San Antonio generating enough offense to keep this within the number. Play the Lakers -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +5 -115

The Pacers (+5) are worth a look as a home dog against the Bucks in Monday's NBA action. I got in on Indiana early before this line jumped. Good news is I still recommend a play on the Pacers at the current line. I really like Indiana to win this game outright. Milwaukee looked so good in their opening win over the Nets, but the more we see of Brooklyn early, the less impressive that win becomes. I also think the injuries to Brook Lopez and Jrue Holiday are big. Those are two of their better defenders and Holiday is the guy that gets it all set up. As for Indiana, they have really impressed me early and a lot of that has to do with the play of rookie Chris Duarte. He's averaging 20.3 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 2.3 apg and 3.7 3PM/game. Play the Pacers +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors -3 -110

The Warriors (-3) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Kings in Sunday's NBA action. Golden State has been impressive in their 2-0 start to the season, beating both teams from LA. They took down the Lakers in LA on Tuesday and then beat the Clippers on Thursday. Kings won on the road at Portland and played Utah tough in a loss at home. I just don't think the line is enough for the gap between these two teams right now. Play the Warriors -3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns vs Lakers under 223 -110

The UNDER (223) is worth a look in Friday's NBA action between the Lakers and Suns. Both of these teams lost their season opener. LA fell 114-121 at home to the Warriors on Tuesday and Phoenix lost 98-110 at home to the Nuggets on Wednesday. Both of these teams looked a bit out of sync offensively. Look for both teams to rely even more on their defense to get that first win of the new season. Play the UNDER 223! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -1½ -110

The Bucks (-1.5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against the Heat in Thursday's NBA action. I think the perception here is that even though Milwaukee looked great against the Nets on Opening Night (Tuesday), they aren't going to be as sharp on the road against a fresh Miami team that is just now playing their first game of the season. I just don't think that's the case. This Bucks team might be even better than last year's team that won it all and it's hard for them to have letdowns when their best player doesn't take a night off. Play Milwaukee -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics vs Knicks over 216 -110

The OVER (216) is worth a look in Wednesday's NBA season opener between the Celtics and Knicks. Most will have a hard time betting OVERs with the Knicks, because of what they saw with this team last year. New York is going to be a strong defensive team, but they also figure to be a lot better offensively with Kemba Walker at point guard. This is also a very deep and talented Boston team that has some big time scorers. This total is too low. Play the OVER 216! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets PK -105

The Nets (PK) is worth a look at even money in Tuesday's NBA season opener against the Bucks. Milwaukee will be playing their first game as the defending champs at home and that means ring ceremony. That's really all this night is about. The Bucks don't really care if they win this game. As for Brooklyn, this is a team that is out to prove something after coming up short last year and they get a chance to not only showcase their talent against the defending champs, but also the team that knocked them out of the playoffs. Play Brooklyn PK!

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns +4½ -105

The Suns (+4.5) are worth a look here as a road dog in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. I think the perception here is that Milwaukee is going to get this game with the series shifting to their home court, but I think it's pretty clear that the Suns are the better team. Phoenix just has a much better rhythm offensively than Milwaukee. They also have a lot more guys who can contribute, where the Bucks really only got Holiday and Middleton outside of Giannis. If all 3 of those guys aren't great, they are in trouble. I like the Sun to  win this one. Play Phoenix +4.5!
